The problem with commercial F/M romance is that it's written by the most heterosexual women alive and reading it you feel yourself slowly suffocating from the Gender of it all like a fish in a eutrophying lake. And what we actually need as a culture is F/M written by insane bisexuals violently allergic to heteronormativity

What made bbc johnlock even crazier is things like the furtive looks they would do when the other wasn’t looking, the fact there were things they wanted to say but never said to each other, how they would both constantly prioritise their relationship at the expense of other relationships. The ‘look at us both’ line, the ‘you look sad when you think he can’t see you,’ ‘your damsel in distress,’ the sherlock restarting his heart scene. It’s the repression and intensity between them, and what they choose NOT to do about it. To me that’s what really stands in the way of platonic readings, of whatever the writers say they’re trying to do. I think it’s also what made it such a popular ship, and why tjlc endured despite the writers explicitly saying that’s not what was happening. There’s something always there beneath the surface of their relationship that has no good explanation apart from the one we are able to supply
