Shwatsonlock
noun.
a portmanteau for the slash or yaoi pairing between sherlock holmes and dr. john watson, from the original sherlock holmes books written by sir. arthur conan doyle.
sherlock + watson = shwatsonlock
it can be argued whether shwatsonlock is canon or merely fandom, but for this particular definition, i will simply describe it as fandom.
usually, the term is used to describe a genre/pairing of fanfiction stories, or doujinshi.
there are a variety of different series/versions of movies and television shows made of sherlock holmes. so, while shwatsonlock may define the general fandom romantic/s-xual relationship between sherlock holmes and john watson, the interpretation of these characters in fan works will vary from one series/version to another.
for example,
the robert downey jr. interpretation of sherlock holmes is very different from that of the jeremy brett interpretation of sherlock holmes.
as such, when reading a shwatsonlock story/comic, make sure to become aware of the version that the particular story/comic is based off of. sometimes it makes a difference, sometimes it doesn’t. but that is simply a small mindful note that i personally deem important.
i love that scene where they’re talking about boyfriends and girlfriends. that was totally proof of shwatsonlock!
