Fic Rec: A Sort of Fairytale by [livejournal.com profile] arcsupport

Title: A Sort of Fairytale
Author: [livejournal.com profile] arcsupport
Pairing: Gen
Length: ~2200 words
Rating: PG-13

Verse: Sherlock BBC
Author's summary: Some people have sharp edges. Some people have to be carefully kept.

Reccer's comments: I really liked stories that give Molly a bit more depth and this fic manages it perfectly. It's a story about Molly, her work at the work and her very special relationship with Sherlock.
Molly is pictured perfectly here: she is so practical, honest and professional, yet very caring and compassionate at the same time. She has humour, she has friends and I simply love how she takes care of "her people" in the morgue by inserting so much love into her job without ever losing her professionalism. It's probably the only way to keep doing this kind of job and keep liking it as much as she does. The relationship between Molly and Sherlock is very fascinating and true to the show (though this Molly is able to handle him quiet well).
Interestingly, this fic was written before series 2, but is strangely compliant with all we have learned about Molly there. [livejournal.com profile] arcsupport's had a really good grasp of Molly as a character! :-)
