Title: An Avalanche Of Detour Signs
Author: gyzym.
Pairing: Molly/Lestrade (main), Molly/Moriarty, unrequited Molly/Sherlock
Length: 56,000 words.
Rating: NC-17.
Warnings: No major warnings. See the author's notes.
Verse: BBC!Sherlock.
Author's summary: In which Molly Hooper gets a job, gets a degree, breaks a heart, has her heart broken, falls in love, keeps a secret, saves a life, runs a morgue, falls apart, pulls it together, and finds exactly what she didn't know she was looking for—not necessarily in that order.

Reccer's comments: Spoilers for S2. This follows Molly from her childhood to the post-Reichenbach era; it fleshes her character out marvellously, expands on the few canon glimpses we have been given of her life in canon, and develops her relationship with Lestrade in a fantastic, thoroughly believable way. Their friendship, the UST between them, Molly's issues with Jim and with Sherlock, Lestrade's marriage, what happens after the end of The Reichenbach Fall, everything is played out in full detail, and the outside look it provides us over the show's events and on John and Sherlock's storylines, when crossed with Molly's, is very interesting. It's a long, marvelous story, and a must-read for anyone who likes Molly.

mods: I've clicked on the lestrade/mycroft tag by mistake, and now it won't edit itself out, no matter which way I try. is there any way it could be taken out?
