Summary
The first time she ever felt desire was the day she met John Watson.
Don't be mistaken; she'd had sex before. Plenty of times. Too many times. But it had always been a transactional affair, something she'd done to get what she needed, to survive, to move through the world. Sometimes, her body was all she had worth trading and it kept her fed, housed, whole. And later, after she'd been captured, brainwashed, conditioned to obey her captors in all things, she'd traded her intellect, her ability to shoot, to conduct subterfuge, to hide in plain sight, to kill, and to survive.
When she later escaped and found she served no other useful purpose in the world, she traded her skills in the service of the British government. Sometimes. Sometimes it was other governments, other oligarchs. She had ceased to care who at that point. One violent retrieval, one up close assassination was as good as another. One person who didn't go home to their wife, their children, their mother that day made no difference to her anymore. Until it did.

Summary
Well, this is basically a ramble, inspired by a very angry person who believes that discussing any view but hers is somehow rude to her. So - I took her at her word and decided to toss some ideas out there and if you don't like them or see things in a different way - I am all about the fun of discussion. This is how I perceive some things on this show. To begin - a monograph on why Mary is not necessarily a good person but that she isn't an evil ogre either. I will see how this goes and if I get a few sane people who also like to share ideas rather than spew vitriol then we will continue on with such topics as Mycroft is an unsung hero and John is not a cuddly man. Please feel free to disagree but just keep it in the realm of decorum. Thanks for reading.

Summary
Since Mary Watson's death, one question puzzled Molly Hooper. What did John Watson mean by "Mary is more involved with this case than I am" before he went to meet his wife and Sherlock Holmes? With the loss of her friend and the whole situation that followed, she preferred to wait for things to calm down before satisfying her curiosity. Only around 6 months later, on a Saturday afternoon, did the opportunity finally present itself.

Summary
Somewhere through all their time spent together, Mary realized that Michiko was beautiful. Michiko was, perhaps, the most beautiful woman she had ever seen. Not only graceful and elegant, but tantalizingly kind and thoughtful even for all her ruthlessness in the games. Mary loved and valued Michiko’s friendship, but there were other feelings there as well.
The feelings were familiar, an old romantic pull she remembered, but made new again. Mary thought it something like another kind of second chance.
If only Mary could figure out what to do with the chance she was being given.
