I loved this story. Like I've said before - this is a wonderful idea for a fic.
I've never thought about Mollys POV before and you made a great job with this.

Oh and of course I LOVED LOVED LOVED the ending :)

I'm so glad you liked this story! There is definitely a lot of potential in Molly as a character, simply because her part on the show was so small that writing her is almost like creating a whole new character :)

Aww, I had to end it with Molly's family being back together again - even though the family was a little different than what it was at the beginning of the story ;)

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback :)

a lovely fic through the thoughts of molly taylor. i was completely engaged by her voice.

her relationship with danny was touching, especially her hurt feelings which ultimately turned to a wonderful friendship:

“Please, Molly”, he pleaded. “The last thing I want is to lose your friendship. It means too much to me.”

"But it took me some time to get passed the anger and hurt I felt. He had been the only one I had ever had any sort of real feelings for. It was hard to realize that his feelings for me were very different than my own."

"He must really have trusted me in order to tell me that he was gay. He said he hadn’t told anyone else, and I could easily believe that."..." He didn’t have anyone other than me that he could possibly share his secret with. And knowing that I have a gay brother, he must have felt sure that if he told me, I wouldn’t turn my back on him."

this was the best:

"And suddenly all I wanted was to let him know that he had been right to trust me. That I would always be there for him, no matter what."i admit

Yes, she got her family back together at last, even though the family was a little different than what it was when she was nine :)

I'm very happy you liked the parts including Danny, because that was one of my favorite things to write. Molly was hurt and sad for a while because she really had feelings for him, but in the end he became a really wonderful friend to her instead :)

Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback, it really means a lot :)

This was wonderful. I loved seeing Brian and Justin's relationship through Molly's eyes. For a young girl, she was pretty smart. We got to see her grow as well. I wish we'd seen more of her and her interacting with Justin and Brian.

Yeah, I always pictured Molly to be a smart girl, she is Justin's sister after all ;) It was a lot of fun to write her growing up and playing a part in the Brian/Justin story :)

Thank you so much for reading and commenting :)

That was such a wonderful story! I agree that Molly was very underutilized in canon.

[moongirl24]

She was, wasn't she? But because of that, she was all the more fun to write, because it was almost like creating a whole new character :)

Thank you, I'm so glad you liked it :)
