QUICK DISCLAIMER: Everybody has different opinions about who Sherlock should or should not end up with and that is great! Everybody is more than welcome to their views of different ships and such. I just want to make doubly sure that no ship wars are started, cuz this is is all just for fun. Alright, you may continue reading :)
Molly and Sherlock... where to even begin with these two!? I guess we'll start with Molly.
Molly is a stinkin' sweetheart. She's quiet, a bit shy, sweet, but she is NOT a doormat! If somebody (namely Sherlock) needs to be put in their place, she is not shy about it! More than once Molly has called Sherlock out on all his crud that she and everybody else has to deal with. Molly knows how to put him back in his place, keep him in line, set him back on the right path. She does not for one second stand silently while Sherlock bulldozes her. She tells him exactly what she thinks about his attitude towards her and others. And to be honest, he totally deserves it! Let's hear a round of applause for Molly Hooper.
Also, she's pretty hard core. She works with dead people for goodness sake! You go girl!
I should also mention that while Molly does love Sherlock, and she always has, she is more than just a lovesick mess waiting for Sherlock to notice that she exists. She was a positive influence in his life, someone who was there to set him straight when he really needed setting straight (and believe me, he needed it m a n y times). But we also see her put real effort into moving on when she begins to see that there may be no hope. The girl not only dates multiple different people throughout the show (including our own criminal mastermind Jim Moriarty, whom SHE DUMPS) but she eventually goes and gets herself a fiance! Eventually she does break off the engagement, but only because she has come to realization that there is no point in trying to love someone the way that she loves Sherlock. Because if you love someone the way Molly loves Sherlock, you don't let them go that easily. You hold on.
Sherlock has always liked Molly. He cares about her, and we can see the way he treats her change throughout the series. He slowly stops picking on her, and begins to value and respect her. He wants her to be happy.
Of course we have the ever amazing "You do Count" scene. *fangirl squeals*
AND WE MUST NOT FORGET!! THE MOMENT THAT WAS THE HIGHLIGHT OF ALL SHERLOLLY SHIPPERS.
THE STINKIN' AMAZING SHERLOLLY KISS
*scrunches up face and squeals alot*
GAAAAHHHHH!!! GUUUUUUUYS!!!! THIS MOMENT!!!! <3 <3 <3
ALSO LET US NEVER DISMISS THIS SCENE GUYS!!
The scene in which Sherlock actually tells Molly he loves her.
Sherlock was not acting!! His face! His voice! The realization hits him in that moment! That quiet, "I love you..." was 100% sincere!! THE SHIP WILL SAIL.

(I've never been crazy about fan art, but this is adorable. I loves it <3)
And now some fan videos, just for for the heck of it. Because who doesn't love a good mushy fan video??
(the song for this one is perfection!)
Molly needs her Sherlock. She's always loved him. Many, many times, we see her try to move on, but she always comes back to him. There is no one for Molly except a certain Highly Functioning Sociopath. And there is no one for Sherlock except his Pathologist.
