All new prompts go on Part XXIV
Prompts from this post can be filled on the Overflow Post

IMPORTANT! Spoilers for aired episodes are now being allowed on this area of the meme, without warning. If you do not want to encounter spoilers, please prompt at our Spoiler-Free Prompt Post.


GENERAL GUIDELINES
+Anon posting is most definitely allowed, but not required.
+All kinds of fills are accepted! Fic, art, vids, cosplay, interpretive dance--whatever. Go wild! :D
+Keep things neat! Read prompts before you post to see if something similar has already been done, and while you are encouraged to prompt as much as you like, try to fill as well.
+Please do not re-post prompts unless the last time they were prompted was on an older part. Simply put: ONE posting of each prompt per part.
+RPF (real person fic, i.e. fic involving the actors themselves) is not supported at this meme.
+Depending on the rate of activity, there may or may not be a prompt freeze when a part reaches 2000 and 4500 comments.
+However, there will be one when it reaches 7000. Also at 7000, after the freeze a new part will be posted, and all prompting should happen on the new part.
+Multiple fills are encouraged! :) Just because a prompt has already been claimed or written by someone, do not be afraid to offer up a second fill.
+re: hijacking.

Please refrain from hijacking a prompt. Hijacking may be defined as responding to a prompt by taking a portion of it and adding your own ideas about what should be added, changed or eliminated. In addition, commenting with off topic jokes or chatter.

By hijacking, the focus of the prompt can be lost, and inappropriate threads created. By doing this fillers may be discouraged which is something no one wants to experience.

If a prompt leads you to an original idea, please create your own prompt. The chatter or love posts are the proper places to share jokes or talk about prompts that have inspired you.

THE FILLED PROMPTS POST
Put links to your fills here. There are instructions on the actual post. I ask that if the part you wanted isn't up yet, just wait and one of the archivists will get to it, but please, once it is up, please make sure you post your fills there according to the guidelines. DO NOT skip out on doing this because it seems like too much effort.
Do not be afraid to ask questions about how it works if you are confused! The mods would be happy to explain.

CONTACTING MODS
Your mods for this meme are snowishness, marill_chan and ellie_hell. If you have any questions, concerns, comments about anything at all on the meme feel free to send a PM or contact us via the Page-A-Mod post.

WARNINGS/OFFENSIVE WORDING IN PROMPTS
Please consider warning for triggery prompts (and also for fills, because some people read in flat view) and phrasing prompts in a manner that strives to be respectful.

Things which you might want to consider warning for include: Rape/Non-Con, Death, Suicidal Thoughts, Self-Harm, Underage Relationships, among others.

That being said, this is a kink meme. As such, there will be prompts that could offend you in a number of different ways. Not every prompt will have a trigger warning, and not every prompt will rub you the right way. If you have an issue with a specific prompt, feel free to bring it up in a discussion that takes place off the meme. However, flaming will not be tolerated regardless of origin.
You are highly encouraged to scroll right past a prompt that you dislike.

Remember, guys; Be civil, be friendly, but don’t be shy!

Lestrade's Back on the Market!

[(Anonymous)]

So, Sherlock's pretty much outed the fact that Lestrade's marriage is over in ASiB. He did so in the presence of a lot of gossips. (John, naturally, is the worst of the lot.)

So, it gets around London (Earth? The Milky Way?) that Lestrade is going to be single soon and people start coming out of the woodwork to try and snag him.

Who wins our dear DI's heart?

(I'm actually fine with het or slash pairings just not much of a mystrade fan.)

Bonuses:

-Moriarty sends Lestrade a naughty package in the post.
-Sherlock's plan backfired. He wanted to ensure Lestrade's bachelor status for his own benefit and now he has hordes of people blocking his path!
-Lestrade's team may or may not be offering insider info on their boss's whereabouts at any given time for the right price.
-Lestrade turning the tables and chasing after the person he wants.
-Mycroft actually has a plan in place for this eventuality. Otherwise, London would have been thrown into chaos.
-Lestrade is oblivious then shocked and feeling hunted and desperate as he dodges and weaves his way through the city.
OR
-Lestrade was actually expecting the reactions; he had them the first time around before he married his wife, which is why he was so angry at Sherlock for outing him.

WHATEVER YOU CHOOSE. JUST MAKE IT AWESOME AND CRACKY (or not!cracky's good too).

Re: Lestrade's Back on the Market!

Seconded!

Merlin crossover

[(Anonymous)]

Merlin is the third, the youngest, Holmes. He's as intelligent as Sherlock and Mycroft, except maybe not in the same field; he can't do brilliant deductions like his brothers, but he's one of the best scientists of his generation/in his field.

This being Merlin, he's not a cold snarker, an emotionally detached thinking machine like the older boys, but a slightly awkward, kind-hearted geek we know from the show we know from all the fics, and as such, he's loved by everyone (oh, btw, I can so see him becoming BFFs with Molly), including Sherlock and Mycroft.

I don't have a specific plot in mind, I'd just like to see how he'd fit in and interact with the other characters in Sherlock (esp. with Sherlock and Mycroft, I think he'd kinda serve as a buffer between those two).

Re: Merlin crossover

[(Anonymous)]

yes.

Female Badass Moran

[terrorpuschel.livejournal.com]

Moran is everything we ever imagined. Badass, violent, violently devoted to the Boss, always with a gun and in a sharp suit.

Only that Moran turns out to be a woman. (I'd really love her to be a redhead with a ridiculously long braid.) And yes, they do call her Sebastian. (Big fan of gender variance, here - just let her be okay with the female pronoun.)

EDIT: For inspiration re: mood, I have Dolores O'Riordan - "God Be With You" in mind... Not necessary, but that'd be awesome.

Re: Female Badass Moran

[naomi-hansen.livejournal.com]

Ah, if it weren't for that little thing called school going on right now, I'd at least try making a sketch or two for you, if not a fic. Somebody fill, please. :3

An Asthmatic Detective

[holyfrell.livejournal.com]

Sherlock is Asthmatic, yet doesn't know that he is until he suffers a massive attack shortly after the confrontation with Moriarty at the pool.

John has to calm Sherlock and get him through the attack - much like the scene in the film Signs where the dad calms his son by laying him on his chest and holding him.

Here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEJjBIVhGIU

Extra points if they're still by the pool when it happens.


(I'm Asthmatic and know how terrifying it is to not be able to breathe, so I wondered what somebodies take on it might be if it involved Sherlock.)

Please please please someone write this! <3

Alter Ego

[(Anonymous)]

Irene Adler is John Watson's alter ego.

(I just really want John in gorgeous lingerie...)

Re: Alter Ego

[(Anonymous)]

I... was not expecting this! Kinda want.

Parallel Universe S/J (possible character death tw)

[(Anonymous)]

In a parallel universe Sherlock and John never meet.

Neither lasts long without the other.

Re: Parallel Universe S/J (possible character death tw)

[(Anonymous)]

...There is a fic like that. It's of the 5+1 variety - with the last part set in the universe where they have met. I don't have a link and I can't remember the title, sorry; maybe it'll ring a bell for someone else?

Two halves of a whole

[(Anonymous)]

Sherlock is lightning, John is thunder.

Re: Two halves of a whole

[(Anonymous)]

Marry me, OP.

TW: Rape

[(Anonymous)]

Sherlock/Irene - Before sex they sit down and talk, really talk about sex and things. It turns both of them are survivors of rape and neither was able to report it.
For Sherlock it was a supposed 'close' friend of his in boarding school who got him drunk and then spread nasty rumors that Sherlock was gay and wanted it. For Irene it was a powerful client when she much younger who got out of control and she was paid hush money.

It then end they sort slowly have vanilla schmoopy sex.

Yes, I'm the anon who have the bad thing happen last night... so I want this prompt.

Tl;DR Sherlock and Irene end up becoming lovers to help heal each other's trust issues.

Re: TW: Rape

[(Anonymous)]

Seconding!

[(Anonymous)]

Can anyone fill - or easily point - me in the direction of virgin!Sherlock fic? Preferably looking for Sherlock/John, but I want it to center around Sherlock losing his virginity and the way he deals with all the new sensations and everything.

Weird dreams give you this:

It's the End of the World, and they're wandering the Garden while they wait for the Last Bus to take them to the new one.

Gorgeous prompt.

Random Crack Prompt.

[violetalvalunar.livejournal.com]

Chuck Norris is related to John

Re: Random Crack Prompt.

[(Anonymous)]

John Watson can kill you with his eyebrow. Of course they're related!

[(Anonymous)]

In which Mycroft suffers from morbid obesity and is bed-bound nearly all his twenties, and how Sherlock deals with it. Angst-to-Hurt/Comfort, perhaps?

Post-HOUN sick!John

[(Anonymous)]

After HOUN, John is sick and having nightmares of his hallucinations.

Cue Sherlock realising just how Not Good what he did was and awkwardly taking care of John with a little help from Mrs. Hudson and/or Lestrade

Pairings optional.

ANON NEEDS THIS BECAUSE OF REASONS.

Re: Post-HOUN sick!John

[(Anonymous)]

I NEED THIS BECAUSE OF REASONS TOO!!

[(Anonymous)]

Lestrade's holiday was a last ditch attempt to save his dying marriage (because just LOOK at that ring tanline. He was obviously wearing his wedding ring while on holiday, took it off when he got back.) He's ok with the fact the marriage is over because, if he's brutally honest, he's already started to move on from his wife. They have been having trouble for months after all.
And Mycroft HAS made it perfectly clear he's interested...

[(Anonymous)]

Aw Lestrade... seconded!

[(Anonymous)]

John takes Sherlock's pulse.

[(Anonymous)]

Um, so yes ;)

[(Anonymous)]

And that night O you happy waters, I heard
you beating the shores—But my heart
beat happier than you—for he I love is
returned and sleeping by my side,
And that night in the stillness his face was
inclined toward me while the moon's
clear beams shone,
And his arm lay lightly over my breast—And
that night I was happy.

S/J is the perennial favorite, but feel free to go with something rarer should it strike your fancy (Mystrade's not really my thing though.)

[(Anonymous)]

Oh, this is lovely. Seconded.

I hope this hasn't been asked before

[(Anonymous)]

John and Sherlock are having passionate and gentle sex, and then at some point John starts acting different than usual: a little too teasing, a little too dark and pretty changeable about the things he does.
When things start to get a bit too dubious, Sherlock wakes up to find himself drugged, tied and with Moriarty between his legs.


o-okay that's it thnx bye

Not OP but ^^^ TW FOR NON-CON/RAPE + DRUGS ^^^^^

[(Anonymous)]

This prompt needed a TW for NON-CON/RAPE and DRUGS

"W-we're not... fuck it."

[(Anonymous)]

The reason John has always, ALWAYS corrected people is because he does, in fact, fancy Sherlock. Quite a lot, but he figures it's easier for both of them if Sherlock doesn't know.

Once he and Sherlock actually do start dating (some time after Scandal but before Hounds?) he still denies it, though this time because Sherlock asked him to.

Why Sherlock asks is up to you, I'd just like to see the process of John going "oh, fuck it, it's true" and just not bothering to correct people anymore.

Bonus points if when someone at a crime scene refers to him as Sherlock's boyfriend and he just says "yes".

Re: "W-we're not... fuck it."

[(Anonymous)]

Hee, oh yes, seconded!

JOHN, I NEED SOME! GET ME SOME!

[diamond-04.livejournal.com]

This has so much potential <3

"Sometimes I don't talk for days on end."

[(Anonymous)]

Sherlock has selective mutism. It's mostly under control nowadays, enabling him to do his deductive-motormouth thing, but occasionally he relapses and he has all these words tumbling around in his brain but they just can't reach his mouth.

(Pairing optional, but I prefer either John or Lestrade if you're going to inflict Sherlock on someone... :p )

Re: "Sometimes I don't talk for days on end."

[(Anonymous)]

Rrrgh. So much sympathy for this prompt.

shared breath kink

[(Anonymous)]

Anything where someone helps someone else breathe or breathes for them.

It doesn't matter if it's necessary (getting air for someone trapped under water or similar) or just a soft form of breathplay ("just relax and let me do that for you") as long as there is lip-locking and shared air. Guiding hands on the passive person's chest before, during or after are lovely, too.

No preferences regarding pairings; gen is possible, too. (Just one thing: If you make it siblings, please refrain from actual incest. Thanks.)

:)

[(Anonymous)]

"John."

"What now?"

"I think I might be having a heart attack."

[(Anonymous)]

Nooooooo! Are you looking for angst, because I'm thinking it could go two ways, maybe...?

HoB pub scene

[(Anonymous)]

There is nothing wrong with me, do you understand??

A lot hurt about this scene. But this was painful, because Sherlock still has moments where despite his intelligence, he can't deal with a failure at such a human level, so to speak. Fear. But also the fact that it reminded him of being called freak and weirdo, and all sorts of names, and despite the fact that fear is such a natural human emotion, Sherlock sees it as a failure. And hates that he can't control himself in front of John. Which is why he lashes out and hurts John and John (surprisingly, unsurprisingly?) reacts by walking away.

H/C or friendship, just something before the next morning happened.

x

Re: HoB pub scene

[(Anonymous)]

THIS. I kept watching this scene thinking, "Okay, when are you going to ask 'Are you okay?' or some other comforting gesture. John's supposed to be at least decent with people and he just... leaves.

THIS NEEDS TO BE RECTIFIED.

Or what the OP said. I'm easy to please.

Lestrade gets hurt

[(Anonymous)]

I really need some Lestrade hurt/comfort!

Lestrade gets hurt on the job and needs someone to look after him after he gets out of the hospital. Having divorced his wife he really doesn't have anywhere to go except Baker Street.
Lestrade needs help at almost everything (getting out of bed, showering, walking etc.) and John and Sherlock try their best to help. While John is very good at that stuff, being a doctor and all, Sherlock doesn't really know how to help, but does so in his own way (playing the violin for Lestrade, entertaining him with stories about past cases etc.).

It cab be Sherlock/John or Sherlock/John/Lestrade!

Bonus points if Lestrade's kids come visit him and Sherlock gets along with them surprisingly well.

Re: Lestrade gets hurt

[(Anonymous)]

Love this prompt! Lovelovelove!

[(Anonymous)]

Sherlock is rather seriously injured while working a case. Lestrade comes to the rescue, sitting with him, treating him as best he can, keeping him calm until the ambulance arrives, etc.

At some point, Sherlock, confused and half-delirious with pain, calls Lestrade "Daddy".

Lestrade is startled. And maybe kind of just a little flattered.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh I want this so much!! <3
