There we go, other anon. You are not alone. And this is a lovely way of looking at it.

mumfordistheword, nerdysoup, georgianacrawley, warrior-knight, tea-kitten and wants2beloved have also messaged me to let you know they don’t ship it either. (: [Any more will be updated on this post]

zarinazeta says ‘“John and Sherlock are definitely moirails, to use a Homestuck term. Destined best friends and platonic soul mates.” Which is a nice way to look at it for non-shippers.

Another anon says this: “I think of it this way: The Sherlock series is a love story between two heterosexual males. (I don’t really see Sherlock as heterosexual- I’m not really sure what he is, but it’s more catchy to put it that was lol) I think their relationship just transcends friendship and anything describable because it’s just so all over the place. I think they’re in love with each other as only the closest friends can be.”
