"It's the time of year again. Pink and red hearts everywhere - not even anatomically correct ones. Really, you'd think that if they were going to plaster the images on every purchaseable item in the vicinity, they'd at least stop to consider the actual biology of what they were--"

"Sherlock."

"Right, yes. I'm getting carried away. The point is: Valentines Day is approaching. APPARENTLY this is to do with some man called Valentine who got killed hundreds of years ago and a fake deity--"

"Sherlock."

"--a mass hallucination reinforced by confirmation bias--"

"SHERLOCK."

"--God, then. Decided to make him a Saint, and now all the angels love him and the pressure of society crushes the weak-willed and lovesick into buying overpriced cards and chocolates and dying flowers as an expression of love."

"That's not even how you're made a Saint. The Pope does it, not God."

"Really?"

"Yes."

"...Not important."

"What IS important, then? Seeing as by the time you get to the point you're trying to make, it'll be NEXT YEAR'S Valentine's Day."

"Love, John. The point is love. Regardless of the day and some random man who died and didn't even die for you or me and probably would've seen us stoned to death or something horrible, and--"

"Sherlock."

"What?"

"I love you, too, you daft git."

Alright, alright, I'm done subjecting you to my Johnlock scenarios. But Sherlock is correct, even if he rambles when he's nervous - the point is love! And in fandom, love usually translates to ships!

This Valentine's Day, we want you to tell us about your ships! We've even got a little ship meme for you. If you don't want to fill that in, just tell us who you ship and why! For example, I ship Johnlock (John x Sherlock) because I think they truly love each other and their bond is reinforced through the hardship they endure together. Their bond has lasted hundreds of years, and you cannot have one without the other. That, to me, is love and a solid basis for a ship.

♡ Rules ♡

Please tag your post with #SherlockShipValentines so we can find it and feature it!

You can post your challenge entry any time, but entries will only be featured from 3 days after the 'closing date'.

The closing date is 14th February (and so posts made after 17th Feb will not be featured).

There are no prizes! There are no winners or losers in love.

Please, no ship hate! This challenge is not an opportunity for public debate. Even if you don't agree with the reasons a person ships some characters, stay respectful.

No ships involving relationships between an adult and a minor, or incestuous relationships.

This challenge is NOT limited to canon characters. Characters from other Sherlock universes (e.g. Sebastian Moran), fanon-established characters (e.g. Hamish Watson-Holmes), and original characters (e.g. your OCs! Just provide some info on them!) are welcome in this challenge, too.

You can enter multiple ships in this challenge. Smaller, less detailed posts can be combined and submitted altogether (2-3 lines per ship) but larger, more detailed posts can be posted separately.

♡♡♡♡♡

Good luck! Let's spread some love in the Sherlock community!

♡♡♡♡♡

I’ve never been able to choose between Sherlolly and Johnlock, tbh. They both seem like adorable ships!
