You may not be familiar with the term, but you almost certainly will be with the effects. Destiel (Dan/Castiel in Supernatural), Sterek (Stiles and Derek in Teen Wolf), Johnlock (Sherlock and John in BBC's Sherlock) are all recent examples. Although many people see the same effect in older fandoms or in shows that are no longer on air like Xena (Xena/Gabrielle), Buffy (Buffy/Faith) and Merlin (Merlin/Arthur).

This video covers some key questions about the issue.
