– Mark Gatiss about Molly in "Sherlock Uncovered: The Women"

leyendecker-ish sherlock 🎻

And who does John immediately think of? Irene Adler. Someone who had romantic interest in Sherlock. But Sherlock knows the coffin isn't meant for Irene. As soon as he sees the lid, he knows exactly who it is meant for. You can see it in his face as he turns away from the lid and back at the coffin.

Molly Hooper. And we, the audience know full well that Molly's feelings for Sherlock are not platonic. Sherlock knows it too. I'm sure Mycroft and John know it too. I doubt there is anyone who doesn't know both Sherlock and Molly who doesn't know. It's so obvious.

If Molly thought that Sherlock wanted her to say a platonic "I love you", why would she resist saying it? It may not be true, but it would be so much easier than admitting the truth. And admitting the truth is why Molly is having such a hard time saying it.

And if Sherlock was only saying it platonically why is he having such a hard time saying it? How hard would it be to admit you love a friend in order to save their life? Most people wouldn't hesitate. Yes, I know Sherlock isn't most people, but for someone who usually doesn't hesitate to manipulate people to get what he wants (like fake proposing for example), you'd think he wouldn't hesitate to say it if it meant saving Molly. Heck, he didn't hesitate to fake his death to save John, Lestrade, and Mrs. Hudson. Saying three little words would be so much easier, right?

Unless those three little words mean so much more than he knows how to admit, if those mean more than just platonic feelings. And why if he meant platonically, did he repeat himself? Once would have been enough right?

The flame that burns twice as bright, burns half as long.

Sherlolly Appreciation Week 2024, Day 4: Pet Names

“Darling?” Sherlock’s voice called from the other room.

“No,” Molly’s reply came as she walked into the bedroom, “I don’t like that one.” Sitting down on the edge of the bed, she wrinkled her nose, “Makes me think of a grandma.”

He frowned at her and steepled his hands against his chin again. “Angel?” Her face scrunched in disgust. “No, then.” He tapped his chin. “I know you alr – ”

“Sweetheart is for children…not for the woman you sleep with.” She eyed him. “I’m not budging on that one.”

He gave her an exasperated look and she laughed. “What is so wrong with calling me Molly or Molls?” she raised her hands in question.

“Everyone calls you Molly,” he stated.

“Well, it…is…my name,” she said slowing, trying not to laugh. He frowned at her.

“Am I not allowed to want to call you something that only I get to call you?” he asked. “To let everyone know that you are my love?”

She smiled and stood up, walking over to him. “Why not that?” she asked as she slid into his lap. “My love.”

I found love in you * And I've learned to love me too

And how I am sure * Like never before * Of my reasons for defying reason

Take all the time lost * All the days that I cost * Take what I took and * Give it back to you

In A Different Light (Doug Stone)

There's girls at the office * The guys always notice * When they walk by * But you're not the type

I'll Stand By You (Pretenders)

When the night falls on you * You don't know what to do * Nothing you confess * Could make me love you less

We're Still Here (Sleeping At Last)

You were on a frequency, * The perfect opposite of me * Though I never needed any proof * To trust the heart that beats inside of you

Keeping Your Head Up (Birdy)

Everyone keeps a darker place * To lose control, you're not alone * And when you come looking for embrace * I know your soul; I'll be your home

The River And The Highway (Pam Tillis)

But every now and then * He offers her a shoulder * Every now and then * She overflows * Every now and then * A bridge crosses over * It's a moment, every lover knows.

I Found (Acoustic) (Amber Run)

And I'll use you as a makeshift gauge * Of how much to give and how much to take * I'll use you as a warning sign * That if you talk enough sense then you'll lose your mind

Never Knew I Needed (Ne-Yo)

For the way you changed my plans * For being the perfect distraction * For the way you took the idea that I have * Of everything that I wanted to have * And made me see there was something missing

You Are The Reason (Calum Scott)

I'd climb every mountain * And swim every ocean * Just to be with you * And fix what I've broken

Not Just A Woman (Rob Thomas)

She'll never say * What you should already know by now * Sometimes you swear she can read your mind

Secret (Heart)

We lead two different lives * Just like two lines that never cross * And here we are together * Standing closer than we are

Harbor (Vienna Teng)

Sail your sea * Meet your storm * All I want is to be your harbor * The light in me * Will guide you home * All I want is to be your harbor

You've held your head up * You've fought the fight * You bear the scars * You've done your time * Listen to me * You've been lonely too long

All of the tracks we traced we raced to reach the sun * All of the lives to find a place where we belong * All I know is that with you I'm moving on

Friends (Ed Sheeran)

So I could take the back road * But your eyes will lead me straight back home. * And if you know me like I know you * You should love me, you should know

Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic (Sleeping At Last)

Though I've tried before to tell her * Of the feelings I have for her in my heart * Every time that I come near her * I just lose my nerve * As I've done from the start

Whatever You Want (Tina Turner)

Whatever you want me to do, I will do it for you * Whatever you want me to be, I will be what you need * Because it's love that I feel whenever you're really near

In Your Eyes (Peter Gabriel)

Love, I don't like to see so much pain * So much wasted and this moment keeps slipping away * I get so tired of working so hard for our survival * I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive

Thank you for loving me * For being my eyes * When I couldn't see * For parting my lips * When I couldn't breathe * Thank you for loving me

Swan dive down eleven stories high * Hold your breath until you see the light * You can sink to the bottom of the sea * Just don't go without me

And maybe I didn't treat you * Quite as good as I should have * If I made you feel second best * Girl I'm sorry I was blind * You were always on my mind

That's As Close As I'll Get To Loving You (Aaron Tippin)

I won't be there when you need holding * But I'm sure that he can pull you through * But I can sing this song to everybody * And pretend it's not about you

The Scientist (Coldplay)

I was just guessing * At numbers and figures * Pulling the puzzles apart * Questions of science * Science and progress * Do not speak as loud as my heart

You are in my head * When my heart's at war * And if I'm ever scared * I'll breathe the air * In front of your door * And I will never knock * But that's as far as I'll go

You Don't Know Me (Alison Krauss)

You give your hand to me * And then you say hello * And I can hardly speak * My heart is beating so * And anyone could tell * You think you know me well * But you don't know me

She's Got a Way (Billy Joel)

She's got a way about her * I don't know what it is * But I know that I can't live without her * She's got a way of pleasing * I don't know what it is * But there doesn't have to be a reason anyway

Sally's Song (Amy Lee)

What will become of my dear friend? * Where will his actions lead us then? * Although I'd like to join the crowd * In their enthusiastic cloud * Try as I may, it doesn't last * And will we ever end up together?
