I'm certainly not complaining about having pairings -- I think I read a good Mycroft/Anthea fic as well. The idea is intriguing.

Maybe I don't read enough fiction. Or maybe it's that I pretty much stay in the Sherlock fandom (and that for more writing than reading) where people are not at ALL creative about pairings, I'm afraid...

Actually... someone is writing a Sherlock/Amy fic, which I haven't read, and which I don't really approve of because RORY, but still, that's creative.

Also, I saw Molly Hooper/Martin Crieff. That I approve of entirely and utterly (though I still haven't read it).

So maybe I'm talking myself into thinking it's not as prevalent as I thought...
