Oh, Shannon. *hugs* I didn't know about the depth of your feelings of loneliness and hopelessness in 2011. And what elation and awe I felt when I realized that was how you related to Sherlock.
I ship Sherlock with just about everyone because I love Sherlock and I want him to have companionship and friends (it's also why I refuse to believe that Janine is a bad person). But I ship Sherlock/John the most because...I've always shipped Sherlock Holmes and John Watson. From the Conan Doyle stories to all of the pastiches that came from other authors, their friendship, bromance, whatever-it-is is THE most compelling relationship that has endured so much.
For similar reasons, I ship Harry with just about everybody, because I also want him to have friends, have companionship, find happiness. And same with Snape. Probably more so with Snape. I guess, in HP, I really didn't have an OTP, but I did have ships I read more often, which was Harry/Snape, Harry/Hermione, and a lot of gen Harry and Snape friendship and Severitus stories.
There are also other fandoms and other ships. I treat Tony Stark and Bruce Wayne similarly: I just want them to be happy.
