Just do it and have fun. If you do it (shipping/meta/fic/whatever) with enough depth, how will people be able to tell it's just self insert fantasy?
(Besides the fact that they haven't even met in canon, I mean. Besides that.)

[dreemyweird]

Yeah. I'm not sure what's stranger - MorMor, where one half of the pairing is non-existent, or this.

[funyarinpainahat]

The people I know that ship it (and I sort of do, myself) seem to base it on four things:

1. Lestrade and Mycroft must have known each other for at least half a decade; Lestrade says in ASiP that he's known Sherlock for five years, and we all saw what Mycroft did to John when they met...

2. The fact that they work very closely together in the book. (Lestrade reports directly to Mycroft, it seems, and no other Yarders do that. They also show up together at 221B at one point)

3. Lestrade's "I don't just do what your...brother tells me" line in Baskerville, because it's incredibly awkward-seeming on his end, and he adopts the same body language as when he was flustered by Molly in Scandal.

4. Rupert and Mark (Mark especially) support the idea of the pairing.

HUH. I could definitely get into this. I'd forgotten about that line in Baskervilles... I've read the pairing before, but never really thought about the rationale behind it. I think OP shouldn't worry so much.

I love you for this comment! Seriously, now I can just copy-paste it and send it to my friend the next time she mocks me for shiping them!

I feel like I'm the only one who saw Lestrade's "I don't just do what your brother tells me" as meaning that he was there because he was worried about Sherlock. Mycroft told him to check up on Sherlock, but he went because of Sherlock, not because he was ordered to go and he responds awkwardly because he knows Sherlock would mock him for his concern.
