Get excited Sherlollians - a new appreciation week is on its way! This will be our ninth year in a row of celebrating our favorite science nerds. I am so glad you are all still here to keep celebrating with me!
This year we are embracing AUs for our little morbid pair. Each day has a Basic AU prompt and a Fairytale / Princess AU prompt (motivated by @lunaflowerlight’s idea of books/myths). Please feel free to use the prompts however you are inspired – it does not have to be an exact reflection of the original prompting universe. I want to see all of the GIF sets, photo edits/manips, fan art, and fan fiction pieces you can create!
Keep an eye out for the tag: ‘sherlollyweek2023’. I will post any updates or news about the appreciation week under that tag! That will also be the tag that you use when you post your response to the daily prompts. Can’t wait to see what you lovelies come up with!
For reasons I do not understand because technology is hard and the internet is witchcraft, @ao3feed–sherlolly does not come up when I search for it.
(That’s two dashes, the old inactive feed had a single dash and that is the one that is most likely to autofill.)
It exists though.
https://www.tumblr.com/ao3feed–sherlolly
It’s not pretty, but it’s all I have the energy for. Feel free to do it better, my feelings won’t be hurt. Just let me know so I can follow the new new one.
It’s an RSS feed from Ao3, btw, since the old one seems to have died at some point.
I’ve been absent for a very long time and I shall be absent a wee bit longer. Sorry. However, Prompts of the Day will return. Pinkie promise.
In the mean time, please see the above post. Hopefully the little bugger will work. If not, you saw nothing and this post never existed.
Also, to make it clear even though it’s nearly impossible to tell sometimes, there are two (2) dashes in the blog name. It’s not pretty, it’s not helpful, it’s not ideal... but it is what it is.

Victorian TAB AU. After the Abominable Bride, Holmes and Hooper come to an understanding and there is less hostility between them. They become closer when Holmes enlists Hooper’s help on cases while Watson is busy with his family. During one case, while sifting through evidence at Baker St, Hooper finds a photo of The Woman and Holmes becomes uncharacteristically flustered. Could have Hooper teasing Holmes. Could be funny, could be angsty, could be angsty funny. - Anonymous
Sherlolly prompts that have been filled as of 12/22/22
A quick reminder - even though these prompts have been filled, please feel free to fill them again. The more the merrier!
Authors and artists have filled fifty-three different prompts - some multiple times - all of which are listed below under the “Keep Reading”.
1) Art prompt: (I’ve wanted this like burning for five years, I’ll never give up asking) Sherlock and Molly, the cake scene from Sixteen Candles". Only in the morgue and Molly’s wearing the lab coat. - @sunken-standard (Prompt fill - Sherlolly // Sixteen Candles by @simplyshelbs16xoxo) (Prompt fill – Sixteen Scandals by artbylexie, commissioned and submitted by @mizjoely) (Prompt Fill – Birthday Party in the Morgue by @dragonnan)
2) “We had chips. She liked me.” – Sherlock in TLD. What could have been had he and Molly gotten chips in TEH: A kick to Tom’s butt. Happy greeting (a hug at least!) at the end of TEH. Quite a lot of sex with Sherlock instead of Tom. Molly the best man’s date. A (sophisticated. Or not) Molly/Janine cat fight for Janine hitting on SH moments. Dancing, so much Sherlolly dancing (and no leaving early). Probably no Shezza (Shezzer?)—which, hmm, is a shame (But maybe they’ve their own not-being-on-a-sex-holiday-but-sexing-a-lot time). A real proposal to Molly. Molly at family Christmas, maybe even a Christmas wedding. Solving CAM without the threat of exile sharpens Sherlock’s deductive abilities. No Norbury as Molly’s already expecting their first offspring, so Sherlock doesn’t taunt needlessly. Mary as the Sherlolly baby godmother as she’s alive! Culverton Smith is taken down by the duo of Mary and Molly while the latter gives birth there (because the ladies are awesome, plus Mrs H tackles him down). John is so impressed he doesn’t look at any other women. Molly’s big heart brings Eurus from her metaphoric plane the moment she steps into 221B, plus baby Holmes wins her heart too. The Holmes family reconciliation and Eurus is in therapy instead of being a multi-killer. Baker Street Boys Team continues while Baker Street Girls Team gives them a run for their money. Mycroft asks Lady Smallwood out himself to her astonishment and internal squealing. Mummy Holmes gets more grandkids than she could’ve imagined. And basically, everyone walks happily into the sunset. The End. Please note, some things can obviously be modified. - @mychakk (Prompt fill - Turn Right by @sunken-standard)
3) AU: Molly runs away from home when her parents try to arrange a marriage for her. She wants to pursue a life that involves science and marry for love if she ever gets married at all. She meets Sherlock, who is being pressured by his family to marry a nice girl they found for him who loves science as much as he does. It will be interesting when they figure it out. - @shadowyqueenbeard (Prompt fill - Uncertain Terms by @geekmama)
4) Uni!lock Sally wakes Molly at 2 am because her junkie boyfriend of dorm 221b is streaking across campus calling her name, so she better stop denying that she’s his girlfriend. - @escaily (Prompt fill – Like Night and Day by afteriwake)
5) Rock Royalty AU. That AU in which Mary drags Molly into an edgy rock concert of her favorite band “Baker Street Boys” even though everybody and their mother knows that indie acoustics and hippie music is Molly’s thing. Enter Sherlock Holmes lead band member, (the type of Rock Star that sings ‘Wanted Dead or Alive’ while high as a kite) famous for his electric violin solos, addict past and cold attitude. He tries deducing the girl less likely to throw herself at him out of all the fans and finding that one concert goer who doesn’t get turned on by his music. Turns out that Molly the ‘I-said-I’m-not-a-groupie’ pathologist in training is actually an interesting girl when she’s not covering her ears, even if Sherlock needs to educate her on the finger points of violin appreciation. Basically a fic where the Rockstar wants to turn this hater into a fan but actually ends up falling for her instead. - @escaily (Prompt fill – Untitled Tumblr post by @welcometothelosingside)
6) The Do Over/ Time Travel Sherlolly fic that I NEED. Let’s pretend that a destroyed Molly went to sleep the night of the infamous phone call wishing she could do it all over again, and overnight she wakes up back in Season 1 first ep. If you could get a do over, erase all the bad things that have ever happened with the person you’ve always loved, even if it meant never having the good, would you do it? Especially if said person just broke your trust over the phone. The moment with the riding crop, all the late nights at the morgue, chose to avoid that awful Christmas party (showed up with a boring date), change shifts the day ‘Jim from IT’ asked her out and not offer her help when Sherlock needed to fake his death. Of course, fate still keeps throwing her together with Sherlock no matter what she tries. “You’re not MY Sherlock, you wouldn’t understand,” she whispered at last. “And what did your version of me have that I don’t?” “Many things, I know you think you can’t be a better person, but my Sherlock was.” Or something around those lines where slightly-younger Sherlock feels jealous of TFP Sherlock, because in any version of history Sherlock will always end up falling in love with Molly and she’s already so attuned to his quirks that he resents the ‘other him’ for having so much time with her. - @escaily (Prompt fill – In a Time Lapse by @aloneiswhatihave1895 (katybaggins))
7) Spy AU : “Your agency and my agency are constantly competing and why do you keep taking over my missions?” - @noregretsnoteasnoanxieties (Prompt fill – At The Risk Of Falling (Off Roofs) by @lyssisbored)
8) Royalty AU : “We’ve been engaged to be married since we were three but this is first time we’ve met and your portraits really don’t do you justice.” - @mousedetective (Prompt fill – I Feel Strange by @mizjoely)
9) Your soulmate was an artist of centuries ago, and currently, you’re an art student at university (or not but you’re taking an arts class). Then one day for a field trip, you go to a far-away museum and you just find yourself staring at what was your reflection, wearing different clothes to fit the timeline but it was definitely a split-image of you, on one of the framed displays. (A fanart answer for this prompt would also be awesome!) - @noregretsnotearsnoanxieties (Prompt fill - A Soul Captured on Canvas by @mizjoely) (Prompt Fill – A Favorite Model by @theresadunn)
10) Person A owns a flower shop and person B comes storming in one day, slaps 20 bucks on the counter and says “How do I passive-aggressively say fuck you in flower?” - “so you’d need a bouquet of geraniums (stupidity), foxglove (insincerity), meadowsweet (uselessness), yellow carnations (you have disappointed me), and orange lilies (hatred). it would be quite striking! and full of loathing.” - @noregretsnotearsnoanxieties (Prompt fill - Say It With Flowers by @mizjoely)
11) Doctor Who!Sherlock - Molly Hooper as a companion - The Silent Fangirl (Prompt fill - Doctorin’ the TARDIS by @darnedchild) (Prompt fill – A New Man by @lunaflowerlight) (Prompt fill – Molly Hooper, Travelling Companion by @mizjoely)
12) A Sherlolly version of “It’s A Wonderful Life”. Sherlock gets to see what his loved ones’ lives would be like if he never existed, realizing the positive impact he had on them when he was alive. - @simplyshelbs16xoxo (Prompt fill - Strange, Isn’t It? by @simplyshelbs16xoxo)
13) Something similar to “The Ransom of Red Chief”, only in this version the kidnappers have figured out that Molly Hooper is a pressure point for Sherlock Holmes. They take her captive, intending to blackmail Sherlock or hold Molly for ransom; but Molly Hooper is having none of that nonsense. While Sherlock works to save her, Molly finds ways to torment, injure, and outwit her captors. Whether she escapes on her own, finds a way to let Sherlock and John know where she’s at, or ends up driving her kidnappers crazy to the point that they give up and send her back is up to the author. Could go humorous or dark very easily. – Anonymous (Prompt fill – Self-Rescuing Princess by @darnedchild and The Return of the Self-Rescuing Princess by @darnedchild)
14) Agatha Christie’s “And Then There Were None” – because I always think of the movies when I see Mizjoely’s U.N. Owen tag. - @darnedchild (Prompt fill – And Then There Were Two by @mizjoely)
15) Christmas - I would also look for England-specific things too – Christmas crackers, puddings, panto, wassail. - @gettingovergreta (Prompt fill – Make A List, Check it Twice by @mizjoely)
16) Valentine’s - Sherlolly Valentine’s … Sherlock requisitions a heart from Bart’s. Molly thinks nothing of it, it’s not unusual for him to … obtain body parts. What is unusual is what follows when he invites her to 221B that night … (post-ILY) - Anonymous (Prompt fill - Have A Heart by @mizjoely)
17) To cover her butt during New Year’s Eurus lies and tells mummy that Sherlock has a wife, and Mycroft borrows her ‘Sherlock’s wife’ excuse whenever he wants to avoid sticky topics during holidays. The lie gets bigger the more Sherlock avoids family meetings. Until December when Sherlock finds out he’s married to a forensic (E), sex addicted(E), petite (E), intelligent (M), very forgiving (M) paragon of virtue (M). Now he needs to find a stranger that fits the description before Christmas. - @escaily (Prompt fill – Wait, What Just Happened? by @mizjoely and Let’s Meet the Family, Shall We? By @mizjoely and You Can Imagine The Christmas Dinners by @mizjoely)
18) Song Fic: Adele’s “Water Under the Bridge” - @darnedchild (Prompt fill - Water Under The Bridge by @simplyshelbs16xoxo)
19) Song Fic: Texas’ “I’ll See It Through” - @darnedchild (Prompt fill - And I’ll See It Through by @darnedchild)
20) Song Fic: … I’ve got a quote from a song. “You only know you love her when you let her go.” (Note from Mod - The song appears to be Passenger’s “Let Her Go”) - @flowerstar5 (Prompt fill - Turn Right by @sunken-standard)
21) Song Fic: Angst. Based on the ABBA song “Knowing Me, Knowing You”. Sherlock and Molly have tried to have a serious relationship, but it just didn’t work out. - @shadowyqueenbeard (Prompt fill - Waterloo by @mizjoely)
22) Molly’s school reunion – Sherlock assumes he’ll be needed to help Molly show everyone up. The catch: Molly’s been a beloved peer, so it’s him who gets the obligatory “you hurt her, we’ll end you”. :) - @mychakk (Prompt fill - The Time “We’ll End You” Started Things by @mizjoely) (Prompt fill - The Detective, the Pathologist, and the Prompt - Chapter 32: We’re Watching You by @writingwife-83)
23) Sherlock sees a woman on the street. Instantly intrigued (you can choose as to why) he follows her. - @mel-loves-all (Prompt fill - Following Her by @mizjoely) (Prompt fill – Untitled Tumblr Post by @monemenges)
24) Molly loves wearing Sherlock’s house robes. - @mel-loves-all (Prompt fill - A Seminal Moment by @geekmama) (Prompt fill – Dis Robe by @mizjoely) (Prompt fill – His Favorite by @writingwife83)
25) Molly has a piece of body piercing jewelry or a tattoo located somewhere that surprises and titillates Sherlock. - @mel-loves-all (Prompt fill - Stainless, Captive Bead, 11mm, 14 Gauge. by @sunken-standard) (Prompt fill – Took You Long Enough! by @mizjoely)
26) Molly commits suicide, but only Sherlock thinks she didn’t. He may not be wrong. - The Silent Fangirl (Prompt fill – Another Day, Another Faked Death by @mizjoely)
27) Fluff. Molly has been hospitalized for whatever reason. She decides that she is feeling better and just wants to go home. However, the hospital does not want to release her yet. So Molly decides to leave AMA (against medical advice). She feels she can recover at home just as well and also she is eager to get back to work. Besides, who is going to know? This is something someone might expect from Sherlock, but not Molly. How long before he finds out? What is his reaction? - @shadowyqueenbeard (Prompt fill - Home by @englandsgray)
28) Angst. Molly discovers she is pregnant and is not happy about it. Although she would love to have a baby at some point, right now is not the time. She and Sherlock do not have a commitment and her career is going well. She plans to terminate the pregnancy. Sherlock finds out and tries to stop her. He please with her to change her mind, marry him and be a family. Is this just a control tactic or does he really love her? - @shadowyqueenbeard (Prompt fill - Turn Right by @sunken-standard)
29) Molly discovers there is Sherlock Holmes RPF (Real Person Fiction) on the internet. She’s shocked to find that someone called Sherlolly4vr74 has been writing fic about her and Sherlock, and they seem to have a dedicated fan base. Some of the stories are very sweet and romantic, some of them are hot enough to give her NSFW ideas. Who is Sherlolly4vr74 (Is it Anderson? Mrs Hudson? Mary? John? I bet it’s John.) and is Sherlock aware of the stories? - @darnedchild (Prompt fill - This Love…is sweeter than fiction by @escaily) (Prompt fill – The Original Shipper by @JacobandEvie)
30) Eurus has been known to put on a persona and disguise to get close to people for information – she was Faith for Sherlock, E and the psychiatrist for John. What if she had also spent some time around Molly prior to the events at Sherrinford? What information would she have gleaned about her brother and his pathologist? - @darnedchild (Prompt Fill – Untitled Tumblr post by @mollyhooopers)
31) Can they be R rated. Because I feel Sherlock would not muck about, with telling Molly what he would like to do to her, he would not use cute little names for all her female parts and would go into great detail, like all his cases. She would be his very serious case. Yes he would most defiantly do a lot of research on pleasing her. Write it however you are most comfortable with. - @oliverfel4 (Prompt Fill – Be Prepared by @mizjoely and @asteraceae-blue)
32) Sherlock and Molly are getting married! It’s time to work on the guest list for the wedding, and suddenly they are faced with the question—Do they let Euros come, or not? - @celticmoonbeam (Prompt fill - Untitled Tumblr post by @theresadunn)
33) Shipwrecked Sherlolly—Sherlock saves Molly from drowning. - Anonymous (Prompt fill - Untitled Tumblr post (TBC?) by @mizjoely)
34) Euros leads Sherlock to believe that he failed, and Molly was killed after the ILY scene. Much angst ensues as he blames himself for her loss … but then we get to see the happy reunion scene when he learns she’s alive. - Anonymous (Prompt fill – Part 1 by @welcometothelosingside and Part 2 by @welcometothelosingside) (Prompt fill – Unsaid by @writingwife83)
35) Mary as matchmaker. At John and Mary’s wedding, Mary feels a little sad when they leave him alone to go dance (“What about you?”). She decides to make it her mission to help Sherlock find a girl so he’s not alone anymore. And this former agent has no trouble figuring out the potential between Sherlock and a certain Molly Hooper … (Up to you whether or not you want to throw in a Janine segue before she decides to set him up with Molly. And feel free to cover Sherlock being shot!) - @celticmoonbeam (Prompt fill – The One Where Mary Gets Involved by @keeptheotherone)
36) Molly discovers she’s pregnant with Sherlock’s child at the worst possible time: while she’s with his parents, being hidden away, and the two are pretending to be just friends. Bonus if they figure it out before they’re told! - @ noregretsnotearsnoanxieties (Prompt fill - Untitled Tumblr post by @welcometothelosingside) (Prompt fill - The Right Way, the Wrong Way and the Holmes Way by @mizjoely) (Prompt fill – Hide and Seek by @rainbow—letters)
37) After the events of TFP, Molly and Sherlock get closer. Suddenly, though, he pulls away and starts flirting with a coworker of hers, sometimes blatantly in front of her. It isn’t until an event at Barts that the truth comes out that it was all for a case. - @noregretsnotearsnoanxieties (Prompt fill – Tell Her About It by @mizjoely)
38) Sherlock moves in with Molly and begins perusing her book collection, picking up random books that have interesting looking covers, and the next thing Molly knows he’s turned into a fantasy buff. - @ noregretsnotearsnoanxieties (Prompt fill - Stories & Stories by SimplyShelbs16xoxo)
39) Molly, unbeknownst to Sherlock, suffers from psoriasis since her teen years. This is why she’s been adamant about being more physically intimate with him, no matter how much she wants to. Fortunately for her, Sherlock doesn’t care about it at all. Could be a hard T or M rating. Loosely inspired by Loo’s own bout with the disease. - @violetjersey (Prompt fill - #Balm by @hobbitsdoitbetter)
40) I have read this in one or two fics, but not really developed as a main theme of the story … so: What if Rosie wants to pair John and Molly? How will Sherlock react and … how will he convince Rosie that Molly is for him and not for John. I’m imagining some angst in the middle because the silly man thinks this is a wonderful idea: Rosie gets a mummy and Molly gets a family. In fact, Sherlock sets up a date between Molly and John while he’s babysitting Rosie. - @kalkopyryt (Prompt fill – Untitled Tumblr post by @theemptyquarto) (Prompt fill - Destiny and the Detective by @theemptyquarto)
41) Some strange guy is bothering Molly, so she tells him that Sherlock is her fiance in order to make him stop. To her surprise, Sherlock goes along with it. Maybe he goes even further by announcing it to family and friends. Now what does Molly do? - @shadowyqueenbeard (Prompt fill – Boyfriend Material by @darnedchild)
42) Hmmm… Molly is actually very cunning (I think she is indeed canonically), she uses her doe eyes, throaty voice, and innocent smile to get away with everything. So many people fall for her tactics, Sherlock is one of them, although he has more control than the others. - Anonymous (Prompt fill – Behind Doe Eyes by @mizjoely)
43) For those who have OTPs in other fandoms, imagine Sherlolly in the same situation another OTP of yours was in canon. Just because I’m curious. - @mousedetective (Prompt fill - Untitled Tumblr Post by @lunaflowerlight)
44) Post Tom/Molly break-up (pre- or post-HLV), Molly says to Sherlock “Just when I got used to feeling wanted, he took that feeling back. Like it wasn’t mine to have. Like he gave it to me by accident.“ - @noregretsnotearsnoanxieties (Prompt fill – I’m Put to Mind of All That I Wanna Be by @ukthxbye)
45) The best feeling in the world is kissing someone for the first time when you’ve really wanted to kiss them for a long time. (No credit given) - @noregretsnotearsnoanxieties (Prompt fill – The Best Feeling In The World by @mizjoely)
46) Fluff and Smut : After enjoying some sexy time with molly, Sherlock goes out to deal with a sudden case. Unfortunately, he forgot to untie Molly from the bed. Oops! - @shadowygueenbeard (Prompt fill – Untitled Tumblr Post by @elennemigo) (Prompt fill – The Escape Artist by @mychakk)
47) A Sherlolly + Warstan double date, where Sherlolly can either be established or not! Bonus if Mary ships it extra hard. 😉 Thank you! - @forthegenuine (Prompt fill – Fibber McHolmes and Molly by @mizjoely)
48) Post TFP, Sherlock moves in with Molly while waiting for 221b to be repaired. He experiences some PTSD and Molly helps him work through it. - @shadowyqueenbeard (Prompt fill – Adrift by @englandsgray)
49) Fluff, little bit of Angst, maybe Smut : A few too many drinks and a poor sense of direction lead to Molly getting lost. She only stepped outside to clear her head, so she didn’t bring her purse or phone. After wandering around an unfamiliar area, she eventually falls asleep in a backyard or public park. A worried Sherlock goes to find her. - @shadowyqueenbeard (Prompt fill - My Hero by @mizjoely)
50) Fluff, maybe smut : Molly gets a pedicure. Sherlock discovers he has a bit of a foot fetish. - @shadowyqueenbeard (Prompt fill – A Shoe In by @lilsherlockian1975)
51) “What do you mean it’s a tracking device?!” - @shadowyqueenbeard (Prompt fill - Keeping Track by @mizjoely)
52) Sherlock and Molly announce their engagement. Mycroft, for reasons of his own, offers Molly a large sum of money to break up with Sherlock. Molly is shocked. Sherlock is furious. - @shadowyqueenbeard (Prompt fill - The One Where Mycroft Offers Molly Money to Leave Sherlock by @mizjoely)
53) A strange woman shows up at 221B claiming to be Sherlock’s wife. Is it true? Did Sherlock delete her from his mind palace? Or is she a delusional fan? Or maybe it’s a scam to extort money from him? Sherlock needs to find some answers. - @shadowyqueenbeard (Prompt fill – There For You by @englandsgray)
Over the years we’ve had a lot prompt fills submitted to us. I thought it would be nice to shine a spotlight on those individual submissions. Please give the author or artist a bit of love.
I know I’ve already recced this one, but it’s based off “It’s a Wonderful Life”...
Strange, Isn’t It? by @simplyshelbs16xoxo - The same night of the Sherrinford incident, Sherlock convinces himself that everyone's lives would be better off had he not been born. Mary, now a guardian angel, makes him see the error of his thoughts. Post-TFP. Based on the concept of the movie It's a Wonderful Life.
Original Prompt: A Sherlolly version of “It’s A Wonderful Life”. Sherlock gets to see what his loved ones’ lives would be like if he never existed, realizing the positive impact he had on them when he was alive. - @simplyshelbs16xoxo
TABverse – After the whole bride thing Molly Hooper asks Sherlock to help her create a new Alias for herself, something ‘detective proof’. The thing is that Sherlock doesn’t approve of the nurse Alias, or shopkeeper, or the governess one, or the maid costume (brothel girl disguise almost kills him). For Sherlock her new persona will just have to be the wife of someone with status, someone like him. - @escaily
It’s Tuesday and that mean’s it’s Full List of Prompts and the FAQ post day.
Here’s the usual reminder that we are always accepting new prompts to add to the list. If you’ve got a story/art idea you are dying to see but don’t have the time or inclination to create it yourself, submit it to the list and maybe an author or artist will be inspired by it.
If you’re in the mood for some older Sherlolly Winter fun, look no further.
To help get you in the Winter/Christmas spirit, here are all the submissions we received during the 2020 12 Days of Sherlolly. Please give them another look, leave a comment or a kudo (or both!), and show a little love to the creators who took the time to participate in 2020.

To Be With You, That’s All I Want - Created by @simplyshelbs16xoxo
‘He didn’t want to let her go—the thought of doing so made his heart ache. The fact she didn’t seem to be in a rush to get away settled his pulse. It told him she wanted to be in his arms as much as he wanted to hold her. Sherlock breathed her in, the scent of spiced honey and wildflowers filling him with warm familiarity. It was like finding a place he belonged—like home.’

It was a valid reason to have the small holiday gathering at Baker Street, Sherlock didn’t understand why Molly might find it objectionable. She’d been enthused about the party idea, even offering to help Mary figure out decorations, up until the moment John mentioned that they would be using Sherlock’s rooms.
His mind raced as he tried to deduce what could have possibly changed her mind in a span of seconds.

It starts with an unusual morning at 221B and soon becomes a game of silly gifts and inside jokes. Or so Molly thinks until the gifts get a bit… personal.
“Billy,” she said with a bit of venom. “Is female and she’s quite old.”
He smiled. “You wanted to tell me and I wished that you had. No one else noticed. Well, my brother did, but no one cares about Mycroft.” Steepling his fingers just under his lips, he studied her. “I saw the recognition on your face, however, and that was enough.”
