darnedchildSummary: Kismet links Sherlock to Molly, and Mycroft has no compunction with taking advantage of it.
Rating: G
A/N - One word prompt request – “Fate” for Mollcroft, from @limajoro.
Limajora added that the relationship could be friends or more, my choice. It’s not a pairing I normally write, I’ve done one Mollcroft friendship fic in the past, so I gave romance my best shot. And failed.
It’s a big old angst fest and does not have a happy ending. Sorry.
Kismet
It starts with monthly check-ins. One brother looking after the other. Sherlock knows, of course; but he encourages anything that means not having to speak with Mycroft directly.
Kismet links Sherlock to Molly, and Mycroft has no compunction with taking advantage of it.
Molly rarely asks for anything in repayment, just the odd dinner or tickets to a play (Mycroft occasionally joins her for the former and never for the latter).
He comes to her house the night after she’s broken up with Jim and tells her everything. She asks why he’s bothered to show up in person, he could have sent one of his men, and Mycroft remains silent. He wonders if he even knows the answer.
He considers ending the visits after Sherlock jumps. He doesn’t, but the conversations change. Sherlock’s name is rarely ever mentioned.
He knows when she meets Tom and secretly vets him, looking for any flaws. He silently rejoices when they breakup.
Eurus deduces that Molly Hooper is one of Sherlock’s greatest weaknesses.
She misses that Molly is Mycroft’s as well.
Fate brought her to him, but Fate is a fickle mistress. Mycroft knows her precious whispered words will never be meant for him.
