Soul mates exist. They know one another, if they meet, by the words on their flesh. The first words they will speak to one another. Molly Hooper is one person amongst millions, if not billions, born with a banal remark on her skin. True love is hard to find. AU. f/f & f/m, mostly the latter.
The Molliarty in this story is only one chapter, but I enjoyed the whole piece very much. It even has a bit of Jim POV!

A shortie, but I liked it. Bit of violence in this.

Molly knows Jim Doyle (because thatâs how he introduces himself, hands sweating and shaky, stuttering in the cafeteria) is bad news as soon as she sees his daemon grin.
That doesnât put her off him. If anything it makes her say yes all the more quickly.
Fantastic story that makes good use of both source canons and also mythology. Knowledge of His Dark Materials is not necessary. There are a few grammar/word usage errors but donât let that put you offâthe story is so enjoyable it doesnât matter. Iâve read it many times.

âAre you in love, Jim? Has sentiment overcome your faculties?â (4x03 flashback compliant)
This story. Itâs a WIP. Slow to update but so, so good. Itâs sort of set in canon? Canon-themed, maybe? Iâm not sure how to describe it, honestly, but retorica really amps it up here. Beautifully written and the author shows zero fear of taking turns with the plot.

Molly drunk-texts Jim over the course of several months.
They say that nuance is lost over text, but Mollyâs pain is very palpable here. A large part of this story is comprised of text messages, but the author writes well and the medium works here. Bit of a happy ending. Love this one!

Lovely writing and ll_again just portrays Jim and Molly so beautifully. This one is a little more lighthearted than some of the other stories here. If you like sexual tension and humor, youâll love this. Itâs great!
A Bedtime Story for a Madman and a Queen by sillythings
Chapters: 5/5Words: 17411Rating: T
Summary:Â Moriarty stops by to tell Molly a bedtime story.
This might be my favorite of all time. Hauntingly beautiful. The authorâs portrayal of Jim is so good itâs stunning. The storytelling here is masterful, and spins stories within stories. Itâs dark and loving and just wonderful. Strong Sherlolly theme in this one.

Molly does not imagine that this is how Jim expected their confrontation to go.
Bit of formatting issues in this one, but itâs so well-written itâs worth the read. Not exactly a relationship fic, but I loved Molly in this. A good, dark story.

The first name was expected - even welcomed. The second, on the other hand, left much to be desired. And Jim would never understand what it was about it that was compelling. [Soulmate AU: On one hand, the name of your soulmate, on the other - your enemy. Molliarty.]
WIP. On the surface this is sort of a funny story. I smiled a lot reading this. On occasion, though, it delves into pathos, and itâs very effective. I like a bit of pain in stories and this delivers. Well-written and enjoyable.Â

A young woman struggling in an unjust society takes a break from the theatrics of pretending to be her male counterpart, Mark Hooper, and decides to relax at the quiet but foreboding Rose Point Manor. There she comes to a realization that something far more sinister lurks there than at her morgue back home.
WIP. Still in the early stages but I just love the setup here. Mystery? Paranormal? Epistolary writing? Count me in. Canât wait to see whatâs next.Â
Quite a few of these authors have multiple stories, so I have linked their profiles too so you can check them out.Â
