Sherlolly family Wip

[sherlollysecretsanta]

Before I start planning for a new round, I want to see if there's still interest enough to put in the work for it. I'm also thinking of opening up a wishlist/gift card posting blog specifically for all the Sherlock Holmes-adjacent fandoms at @holmesfortheholidays, which I will officially open around Thanksgiving.

This form will stay open until October 31st.

Admiration (An "Everybody Wants To Rule The World" Story)

So this fic was updated after being started over a year ago just in time for @wipbigbang's International Fanworks Day Mini-Bang 2025! I surprised @dreaminonao3 who had never heard of this series of mine (aka the one where John Watson is a more brilliant criminal mastermind than Moriarty) with this new fic. I hope you all enjoy!

Story Title: Admiration Fandom: BBC Sherlock Link: Fic Link | Series Link Summary: John admits to being the "secret admirer" who sent Molly the flowers and chocolates, and in turn it appears he has his own now not-so-secret admirer. Warnings: None Characters: Sherlock Holmes, John Watson Pairings: Sherlock Holmes/Molly Hooper, Mary Morstan/John Watson When I Started: 2024 How I Lost My Shit: I wrote the first few paragraphs, but I wasn't sure where I wanted to go next. How I Finished My Shit: Even though it's still really short I reread the series tonight and was suddenly inspired to have them have a discussion about relationships and to ntroduce Mary Morstan into this series.

“Did I mention that Molly occasionally gets gifts from a secret admirer?” Sherlock said, one afternoon not long after John had gotten the message from the unknown number. Normally a statement like that from Sherlock should have sent a bit of panic through him, but as he knew the truth…

At least this was a secret he could share.

“The orchids and lilies and the chocolates were from me,” John said.

“I thought as much,” Sherlock said a smile on his face. “That’s why I didn’t panic that someone was trying to poison her, or capitulate some sort of behavior from her.”

“How did you possibly guess?” John asked, his mouth hanging open slightly.

“I remembered the day she got the flowers that you had a floral delivery service open on your laptop three days prior when I went to borrow it. You had typed in orchids before I commandeered it. And I remember Mycroft mentioned those chocolates in your presence, and Molly had been having a bad week. A box of chocolates coming from an unknown admirer after she’d admitted she’d had an awful week to both of us practically screamed a gift from you, since it wasn’t from me.” He paused. “You aren’t trying to sweep her off her feet, are you?”

“Absolutely not,” John said, the knot in his stomach lessening. Yes, he had tried to cheer Molly up when Sherlock was being especially stupid around her birthday, and even he knew chocolate could make even the worst days better. But he wasn’t trying to woo Molly out from under Sherlock’s nose; he just wanted to give her a gift without knowing it was from him. “And we aren’t going to tell her in case other surprises arrive, are we?”

“Nope,” Sherlock said, popping the p a bit. “But why won’t you tell her? I’m sure she’d love to know you care for her that much.”

Sherlock had a point. It wouldn’t hurt if she knew, but he still felt maybe he shouldn’t. It was nice for Molly to think she had someone looking out for her. “Maybe.”

“I’ll leave telling her up to you, then,” Sherlock said. John looked at Sherlock and only then realized he was in a much nicer suit than he usually wore. He noticed John looking and smiled a bit. “We’re going to the ballet. Mycroft needs me to observe a specific couple in the audience who may be passing on state secrets to the ballet troupe.”

“Does Molly know her date involves a case?”

“Yes,” Sherlock said with a nod. “Fortunately, she doesn’t mind. She even managed to convince Mycroft to get us dinner beforehand at a four star restaurant.”

John chuckled. “She’s really good for you, you know.”

“I do. I’m lucky she tolerates me.”

“Sherlock, she does more than tolerate you. She loves you.” He saw Sherlock freeze slightly. “Has she told you she loves you yet?”

“No,” he said slowly, drawing the word out.

“Have you told her?”

“How do you know I love her?” he asked.

“I can just tell, in all the little things.” He paused. “Are you considering being intimate with her any time soon?”

“It’s crossed my mind,” he said. “I’m not a virgin, despite what my brother thinks, but I’m not as...experienced...as Molly is.”

“Ah.”

“Ah?” Sherlock asked, turning to look at John. “What is that supposed to mean?”

“It just makes sense why you haven’t told her you love her. Just...don’t overthink things, let her take the lead, and tell her as soon as you can. She’ll enjoy hearing it, and if it leads to something more, you’ll enjoy it, too.”

“I suppose,” Sherlock said, pursing his lips. He glanced at his watch. “Mycroft is sending a car. Are you going to be fine by yourself tonight?”

“I’ll get takeaway and go over patient records,” he said, waving his hand to Sherlock. “Tell her tonight. I won’t wait up for the two of you.”

Sherlock nodded, straightened his back, and resolutely made his way to the coat rack to get his Belstaff. John watched, waiting until Sherlock left to check his phone. He had a new message from the same unknown number his warning had come from. Interesting. He opened the message and read it.

So. He had a name now. Rosamund. And an offer of friendship.

This could get quite interesting, as he offered this Rosamund a dinner invitation. He’d make sure he had people in place in case it was a trap from Moriarty, but...maybe he should have a bit of a social life as well, for a change.

First Kiss - Sherlolly

This fic is part of two series! The Sherlolly series is "Fresh Start," which will be exploring the Sherlock/Molly relationship after the phone call in series 4's finale. The other series it's a part of is "Domesticity," which features stories of a modern AU Mary Bennet from "Pride and Prejudice (2025)" and her OC husband, author Leland Arnold. @dreaminonao3 created Leland, but she's invited me to join the series and write more Leland/Mary fic, which I shall do later.

Dedications - Sherlock deduces that Leland is the author behind the Kathleen Fenwick pseudonym, and he has a favour to ask.

READ @ AO3 | DOMESTICITY | FRESH START

Leland looked up at his guest this evening. He knew who Sherlock Holmes was by reputation only, but as he had a secret to keep, he’d never expected to get a professional visit from the man. “So, you know my secret,” he said.

“I would never use it for personal gain, under normal circumstances, but...a friend of mine is a huge admirer of yours,” Sherlock said. “I have hurt her badly, and I want to make it up to her.”

“So you’re going to tell her that you know the true identity of Kathleen Fenwick,” Leland said, steepling his fingers together.

“What?” Sherlock asked, his eyes wide. “Not unless you gave me permission to. I have too much respect for you as an author to do that. Not that she would tell anyone, I’d trust her with the secret.”

“Sherlock Holmes, are you a fan of mine as well?” Leland asked, his turn to be surprised.

“I read a few of your novels to see what appealed to my friend,” he said. “You have a way with words, the way a craftsman knows his tools and the ways of his craft.”

“I’ll take that as the highest tier compliment it was meant as,” Leland said with a smile, causing Sherlock to smile softly as well. “So, what is it I can do for you?”

“I would love a dedication to her in your newest book, if it’s not too much to ask,” Sherlock said.

“I don’t think my wife would mind sharing the dedication space. Tell me about your friend so I can figure out the best dedication for her.”

Sherlock’s grin widened. “Molly is...unique. She has helped me in ways I can never repay her for. She is a bright jewel in my life, a friend who I cherish very much.”

“You love her,” Leland said.

“Perhaps,” Sherlock admitted. “But she deserves more than just the life I can offer her. She deserves the world, frankly.”

“Well, I’d still like to hear more. Why don’t I have Mary come in? She’s got a way with words herself, and perhaps between the three of us can figure out a proper dedication over dinner?”

“I would be honored,” Sherlock said with the most heartfelt gratitude.

---

“Sherlock, what are we doing here?” Molly asked, clutching his arm. Leland had said he’d like to meet this lovely, fantastic, charming woman he had talked on and on about over the first night, and he would reveal the secret he was keeping as well as the dedication of his next novel.

“I’m going to introduce you to your favorite author,” Sherlock said, patting her hand as Leland stood up. “Molly, this is Leland Arnold, also known as Kathleen Fenwick professionally.”

Molly’s eyes widened and she held out her hand to Leland as he approached. “You write the most amazing romance novels, Mr. Arnold,” she said, shaking his hand when he got to her.

“Leland, please, Ms. Hooper,” he said with a smile.

“Then by all means, call me Molly.” Sherlock realized her smile was brighter than the sun, and it suited her. Then she turned to him, that same smile on her face as she stared at him. “Sherlock…”

“He’s a wonderful man, and he wanted to meet you,” Sherlock said as Mary came over. “This is Mary Arnold, Leland’s wife. They have a surprise for you.”

“Sherlock asked me to dedicate my next novel to you, and I wanted to see if you liked the dedication I wrote for you.” He handed Sherlock a book, and Sherlock handed it to her. She tucked some of her hair behind her ear, and took the book from him.

“To Molly Hooper, the dearest friend and most cherished person in the life of a dear friend. May you be blessed with a long and happy life together.” Molly looked at Sherlock. “Oh my, this is...Sherlock…”

“I told you I loved you, Molly. I meant it,” Sherlock said softly.

She shut the book and stepped closer to him. “I meant it when I said it too,” she said, using her free hand to caress his cheek. She leaned up and kissed him softly, and Sherlock had to do everything in his power not to sweep her in his embrace. When she was done she smiled up at him, the smile that lit up her entire face, and he watched her turn to Leland, wrapping an arm around Sherlock’s waist. Sherlock turned to face Leland and Mary and saw Mary had happy tears in her eyes and Leland was looking at them fondly, and arm around Mary’s waist. “Thank you for everything,” she said.

“No, thank you,” Leland said. “I may base my next fictional couple on the two of you.”

“Oh, that would be lovely!” Molly said happily. Sherlock nodded, tightening his hold on her. They still had dinner with Leland and Mary to get through, but right now nothing could top this moment he’d just had with Molly. They would, hopefully, have that long and happy life together that Leland had blessed them with.
