Johnlock

Johnlock (also Sherlock Holmes/John Watson or Sherlock/John) is the fandom name for the hypothetical romantic pairing, or "ship", between the BBC Sherlock characters Sherlock Holmes and John Watson. Fans who ship Johnlock are typically young queer women, often from Tumblr. It is a very common pairing on popular fanfiction site Archive of Our Own, though its popularity has diminished since the show stopped airing in 2017.

Sherlock has been accused of queerbaiting by both fans and academics, who believe that the show has subtextually implied romantic feelings between the leads. Some fans believed that a romantic reading was intended by the show's creators, which they called The Johnlock Conspiracy. The showrunners Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat and the actors have repeatedly denied this.
