notagarroter: this is a favorite sherlolly moment for me, because of the contrast with John. the key to John is that John never doubts Sherlock. Sherlock asks him in TRF if he is 100%, if he has any doubts at all, but even when Sherlock is on the roof, John never questions for a second that Sherlock is the genius he always claimed he was. but Molly… Molly doesn’t care. Molly will take care of him, will protect him, even if he *is* a fraud. no questions asked. I think for John, it is at least important that Sherlock be one of the Good Guys. He couldn’t tolerate it if his hero, his idol had actually kidnapped and poisoned children. but Molly… her loyalty extends even beyond morality. and that’s why she’s the one who matters. it’s also why I hate to see this ship dismissed as cute fangirl fluff, as nothing more than the “heterosexual option”. there is something dark and tragic and a little twisted going on between these two. and I like it. -- source link
