Summary
So this is very loosely based off of Oscar Wilde's "A Picture of Dorian Gray" except with more lesbians. Really just an excuse to write some molly/irene pov (bc they're such a cute couple) and play around with victorian notions of sexual identity. warning: things may get a little wilde...Irene Adler, an old acquaintance of famous Victorian painter Sherlock Holmes, glimpses his latest portrait of a beautiful and youthful Molly Hooper. Instantly fascinated by the face she sees on canvas, Irene forces Sherlock to introduce the two of them, and so begins a precarious and intense relationship that may be seen as corruptive by some Victorian standards. As the two women struggle to reconcile their growing romantic interest with the stifling conservatism of the era, Molly realizes that the original portrait, which Sherlock painted, reveals almost supernaturally the very nature of her heart that she would like to keep hidden.Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters or content from BBC's Sherlock.
