Re: Popular fanon pairings you can't stand

Oooh someone mentioned Sherlock and I remembered another one: Mystrade, ugh. I'm usually pretty cool about pairings where characters haven't even interacted in canon (and even crossover pairings, where they could never actually interact in canon) but for some reason Mystrade is nails on a chalkboard to me. Maybe because it's so obviously a reflection pairing of Sherlock/Watson and I'm kind meh on that to begin with, although less so because it's more understandable? Is it because while I have great respect for Mark Gatiss as an actor, I find Mycroft...not that interesting or attractive? Because I like Lestrade so much and resent that most of the fic with him in it has sneaky little Mystrade mentions? I DON'T KNOW, but I still hate it and fume like a petulant little fangirl about it sometimes because it's almost as common as Johnlock.

I actually ship it, and I've always thought it must suck for people who don't, because some writers have a tendency to insert it into fanfic as a secondary ship without warning for it.

I guess for you, surprise!Mystrade must be like biting into a delicious truffle only to find it's filled with anchovy paste instead of chocolate.

(I can't imagine what Sherlock fandom must be like for people who don't ship Johnlock...)

It's not much fun. Positives of the fandom are that there are loads of creative people in it and if you don't ship it but don't hate it it's easy to forgive due to all the creativity but once people started getting loud and bored and I found a pairing I liked better I stopped reading in it for the most part.

That one kind of annoys me to. I'm not really that bothered by it, but when I try to actually picture it in my head, it just seems awkward and full of uncomfortable silences.

Sneaky!Mystrade usually just cracks me up. It's like "...and Mycroft and Lestrade were totally banging also. The end."
