On the BBC show Sherlock, people often assume that Sherlock and John are a couple, and John corrects them, usually by saying "We're not a couple."

Because they're not. Most famous Bromance ever is still a bromance. John is actually married(to a woman) at one point, so this falls under Mistaken for Romance and/or Mistaken for Gay

Justified on Supernatural. Sam and Dean Winchester are attached at the hip, look nothing alike, spend most of their time checking into motel rooms together, almost always use aliases with different last names, and at any given moment have been caught in the midst of deep emotional tension you could cut with a knife. Add Dean's tendency to joke-flirt ("Sammy, I get all tingly when you take control." "Be my Valentine?" etc. etc.) and the fact that they're both so gosh-darn pretty (a stereotype, yes, but still a factor) and it's hardly any surprise that they have to keep frantically saying "No, we're brothers! Honest!"

Quick question: ARE they brothers? If they are (and there is no actual incest going on) then it's a Relative Error.

Yes, the Sherlock example is Mistaken for Romance.

However, sadly, I think the Supernatural example should stay. Because while they are brothers, the show's writers are eager to pander to the Yaoi Fangirls so there's a lot of intentional Incest Subtext. As such I think it belongs on both this page and Relative Error. They won't ever end up together, but the writers are intentionally playing this trope up for views.
