This, and schoolgirl crush, was really compelling stuff. Beautifully written and, best of all, I really felt for Molly, for Sherlock, for the tragedy of addiction. You really have a gift in writing these characters, and I hope season 4 will spur you on even more! Thank you for this fantastic work!

wonderful :)

This is so good! I loved reading every second of it and couldn't put it down! I really really love the way you write Molly (and Sherlock too!) - I just love your writing so much and I am so glad their is so much more out there to read. If possible this one was more emotional than the first, and that's amazing - for some reason I can't read enough emotional, almost slightly angsty Sherlock and Molly.

Just finished re-reading this and Schoolgirl Crush again - still as amazingly powerful as the first time through. It's a testament to how strong your writing is that it one of the best Sherlolly series despite there really never being any formal romantic or physical relationship between them.

You nail the difficulties of loving some one with an addiction so well. I like seeing how Molly has grown and has learned from her actions in SC that she now sees as unintentionally enabling. Her reflection when talking to Janine that most positive experiences with him were as teenagers was heartbreaking - I would love to hear more about this. Obviously we as fans love Sherlock, but how does she find the strength to stay involved - out of decades old loyalty? During his addict days there must have been at least enough moments of lucidity for her to cling to maintain her involvement with him. I think we got a nice glance at that in Miracles, but its an aspect I'd love to see more of.

Sherlock characterization pitch-perfect as usual; though scenes where he is angry (in the lab when she reveals his pre-rehab crying and in the hospital when he's in withdrawal) always jump out as dead-on for me. I can actually imagine exactly how the actor would deliver the lines in character.

I could gush on, how I love the little details that bring the story to life (Molly and her father trying to discretely dispose of dinner, Molly having to dry washed Plates lest they never be put away, Molly checking to make sure her pens haven't magically disappeared before her exam, etc), but I'll end on how much I love Stacy. Awesome OC that has always felt organic and never Mary-Sue-ish. She's has few appearances, but she makes them count.

This story just gets better every time I read it. Thank you for sharing your stories.

Found school girl crush and full circle and have completely devoured them both in a day.. You're stories are so well written and you write Sherlock perfectly... Might we ever get to see the story carry on from here? Please say yes, I'm so curious to see how Sherlock handles his feelings toward Molly with Moriarty back in the picture.

I'm madly in love with all of your sherlolly stories. The realistic scenarios are just fantastic; if there was a follow up to this story, I just don't know what I would do with myself. Thank you for your wonderful writing!

Thanks for sharing this! I finished reading 'Schoolgirl Crush' a few months ago and started to read this yesterday - your portrayals of Molly and Sherlock were brilliant, and I hope you continue to write more Sherlock Molly fics soon! And I'm also looking forward to more of your amazing Loki fics too! :)

Oh my goodness we are so lucky! A sequel! Hurrah! Amazing! Ahh I love it! So epic and so heartbreaking and so detailed and wonderful. I hope you write a third when we finally get s4!

I absolutely loved it! Yesterday I read Schoolgirl Crush and today this one. Amazing! The way you get the characters is so good! You're the best Sherlolly writer I know! Btw, the necklace was so lovely ;)

I just read this all in one go and it was so fantastic. This is definitely my headcanon for what went on during HLV - this relationship that you've built for Molly and Sherlock is my favorite why-couldn't-it-be-canon AU. You always have such a great understanding of the characters; I can always imagine exactly what's happening as I'm reading. You are seriously such a gifted author and it's always a treat to read your work.

Holy crap! I was so happy when I saw that there was a sequel! I hope there's a part 3 to this series :D

Thank you for sharing this! I have read this fic many times and it is perfect with angst, drama and all the Sherlolly feels, I love the depth of their feelings for each other, its pure unadulterated love, even though sometime Sherlock acts like he doesn't care , but we know he cares too much and is afraid of depth of his feelings for her.

Wait... This can't just end like this, can it?

Okay, first of all, I've read the whole fanfiction and I should say, it was as brilliant as Schoolgirl Crush was. Adding Season 3 scenes were a perfect plus for all the greatness of the story. I have enjoyed every bit of both of the stories and I should say, you MUST do another follow-up story for this one. It is amazing to read and I think I just need to hear those three words from Sherlock, you know?

Anyways... Great job and keep up the good work! :)

The backstory you have given these two is spectacular. I just spent several hours powering through all of your Sherlock stories, oops...haha.

The complexity, the history, the emotion...it all seems so in character.

Love to read more of these two if your muse ever swings that way sometime :)

Thanks!
