Fic Rec: Sherlock

[grav_ity]

This is mostly for my own reference for later, when I want to read it again.

The Anatomist, by rosa_acicularis:

James Joseph Moriarty was born in Galway, in 1976. His birth certificate no longer exists.

If it did, it would list his father’s name (Dr. Joseph Arthur), his mother’s (Mrs. Elizabeth Anne), and his birth weight (2.7kg). It would not tell you that his eyes were blue, or that he entered this world as he will leave it – howling.

It would not tell you that five minutes later his mother (Mrs. Elizabeth Anne) gave birth to a daughter, his sister. His twin. The records of her birth burned with his, but if they hadn’t, you would know her name.

Mary Elizabeth Moriarty was born in Galway, in 1976.

They will call her Molly.

This fic was really, really cool. :)

Semi-related: rj_anderson writes the character I meta I wanted, in that it's less "OMG, MARTIN FREEMAN'S FACE!" and "OMG, MOLLY HOOPER [redacted for spoilers]".

I tried following the link and got a page not found error? It sounds like a very interesting fic!

That should do it!

That fic totally changed the way I see Molly. It is a classic.

I know! I think I'm even more pleased with what happened in the series, but yes: LOVE IT.
