ll-again: dailymolliarty: James Moriarty/Molly Hooper + Modern Gangsters AU: “James Moriarty wants to sell his business, Molly Hooper wants to buy it. It seems like a match made in Heaven.” I COULDN’T HELP MYSELF–“What’s in it for you?”Jim lounges against the plush chair, tapping his knee while his quick, clever eyes dart around the tea room, taking in the slick 1920s ambiance. Claridge’s for afternoon tea wouldn’t have even made his list, but Jim isn’t the one who picked the venue for this rendezvous.It’s not a choice he would have ascribed to his companion either, before today. Jim catches her watching a couple across the room and while her attention is elsewhere, he takes a moment to inspect her with fresh eyes. With manicured nails and pale, tastefully painted lips, she’s transformed herself into just the right kind of posh to blend in here. Her hair is blonde, cut into a long bob that brushes her shoulders – a wig, obviously, but of good quality and an effective disguise.It’s ridiculous, this whole thing. Molly Hooper, mousy Barts pathologist, can barely afford to splurge on afternoon tea, to say nothing of having the funds to pay him even a fraction of what his empire is worth. She wants to do it in installments, as if she’s buying a bloody sofa.And yet here he is, entertaining her offer.AO3 -- source link
