BBC Sherlock Fan Forum - Serving Sherlockians since February 2012 » What non-Johnlock ships do you ship?

Sherlock Holmes · June 16, 2014 9:50 am

Not everybody ships Johnlock (believe it or not), and plenty of people who do still ship other ships as well so...what are some of your favourites within the fandom? And which ones can you imagine as genuinely happening/developing at some point on screen?

Personally, I really ship Molly and Greg. It's quite clear that Greg fancies her and he was even a bit jealous/upset when she was engaged to Tom. I'm just waiting for Molly to wake up and realise Greg would be much better for her than Sherlock ever could be. :D

I ship John/Mary -- despite everything. Not sure there are other ships on the show I'm invested in.

Sherlock & Molly. Go Molly

I'm not really actively shipping it, but yes, I would love to see Molly and Greg together. They had some lovely scenes together in S3 and it's pretty obvious to me that Greg is interested in her. She just needs to open her eyes.

I have nothing to add.

Same opinion and nothing to add as well.

Yes, this. Still I think it probably won´t happen, because she hasn´t really moved on as much as she would have liked to.

^^

I´m far from shipping it and would never have thought about it myself, but I´ve developed a soft spot for Mystrade fanart.. there´s something to it, I´m not sure what though ^^.

Well.... in this case let me be boring and simply join you.

SolarSystem · June 16, 2014 11:00 am

Then again: The more, the merrier.

Sherlock and Molly, of course.
I'd like to see her character keep on develloping like she did in S3 and getting strong enough to really face Sherlock, but in her "Molly like" way.
Molly and Lestrade would just be non sense. It wouldn't bring anything in the show to have two supporrting characters dating , Sherlock not a soap opera.

God, I really don't want to be boring but I would love to see Greg and Molly together They both deserve happiness, especially Molly

I was just gonna say exactly the same thing!

Harriet · June 16, 2014 8:51 pm

But I know this will never ever happen

besleybean · June 16, 2014 8:54 pm

Maybe not, if Greg remains married.

TeeJay · June 16, 2014 9:21 pm

What I often find a bit unrealistic is that people on TV shows always have to date ach other, and relationships stay within a small circle of main characters. It's like that thing when you see the main characters hang out after work, it's always only with the colleagues.

I mean... how often does it happen that you're such close friends with all your colleagues that you "want" to repeatedly spend time with them after work? There is exactly one colleague from my workplace that I sometimes hang out with, but we don't work on the same projects and don't see each other every day. Or is that a typically German thing, that you tend to keep work separated from your private life?

I think they can have a relationship with Greg being married, but it will never happen.

SolarSystem · June 17, 2014 4:20 am

Because it's not canon, Harriet?

As for me, I don't ship anybody except Johnlock which I hope will happen one way or another in the future. I'd be satsfied with the smallest development in this direction.
