Man, I am in a HULK SMASH mood. Maybe I'll go kick some flowers. They have it coming.
Haven't watched the last 2 eps of Torchwood yet. This past week has been completely insane (the power outage wasn't even the worst of it) and I haven't found the energy to watch it yet.
I'm finding myself even more irked by a pairing. It started as

Sorry you are having a bad week, and it has only started. (((Hugs))) I am still recovering from last week, so I get it. What pairing are yo referring to?
It's mostly last week that was the crappy one, although it's continued onwards.
And the pairing is Mycroft/Lestrade (or Mystrade.) Apparently it's a fandom favorite even though they've never shared a second of screen time and seriously there's a better chance of Ten/Martha than Mystrade. At least Ten/Martha makes SENSE. But...you know, whatever people want to ship is fine. The problem is that people like to shoehorn Mystrade into perfectly good Sherlock/John fics, dammit! It's like happily reading a Doctor/Rose fic and all of a sudden there's Amy/Mickey. AND IT HAPPENS A LOT. I'm becoming thoroughly irked.
I just cannot wrap my head around it all. Never mind the fact that I find Lestrade GORGEOUS and Mycroft not so much, I know that these things aren't meant to be based on looks, but I just don't see it.
Mycroft is surely too sensible to start something with a DI, a man like Mycroft must have people watching him too! The only possible interaction I can guess between them is that due to Lestrade knowing Sherlock for 5 years he must have been kidnapped by Mycroft at some point for the same kind of talk that John got. Kidnapping doesn't really lead to terms of endearment, and would a man like Mycroft want to announce his presence to someone in the Met? I also hate the way it gets shoehorned into other pairings fics as well, it just screams laziness :(
I could possibly go on for quite a while here, so I should possibly stop. Obviously I can *see* Sherlock/John, I really quite like Lestrade/John as well, Sherlock/Lestrade in the past is always good too. Mmmm Lestrade, I'll be in my bunk ;)
Michelle. I'm sorry to have tell you this, but I've dropped Sherlock/John and am now shipping Mycroft/Lestrade full time. I HAVE SEEN THE LIGHT. Whoops.
Hahaha.
Seriously, though. I'm sorry your week is starting out craptastically.

(And I can't imagine two people less likely to pair up. They have nothing in common (other than Sherlock) and talk about a personality clash.)
