prompting part XXIII

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 [livejournal.com profile] snowishness, [livejournal.com profile] marill_chan and [livejournal.com profile] 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!

John turns to Harrison. “Harrison, this is Sherlock Holmes, world's only consulting detective.” Harrison extends his hand and Sherlock shakes it stiffly. Leave it to John to define him by his work. Sherlock ignores the voice in his head that reminds him that that is how he defines himself as well.

“Consulting detective, huh? Like a PI?” Harrison chuckles.

“No.” Harrison stops chuckling. “I observe and deduce when the police are out of their depth, which is usually.” Harrison straightens, probably because Sherlock sounds (as intended) intimidating and standoffish. “For example, I know you're married—but not to your college girlfriend; the ring's too new. A recent marriage then, so the children aren't yours. Possibly out of wedlock, but more likely previous marriage; chalk fingerprints on your back show that, size of the hand shows the age. A first-time wife is unlikely to let you leave the house with chalk on your back but one who's been married is less likely to care. You've moved back to London recently, working in hospital. Surgery's your specialty, cardiac if I'm not mistaken. You recently thought you'd take up guitar for the manual dexterity but your wife complained about the racket. And you've got a cat. Six weeks old, calico. Male, surprisingly, but you didn't know that yet.”

Sherlock arranges his face to look something like bored, as if the list of facts he'd just riddled ofs nothing spectacular. They're always obvious to Sherlock, of course, but he knows John likes it when he explains how he arrived at the inevitable conclusions, so he does for his benefit.

Harrison's mouth drops open and he turns to stare incredulously at John. “This bloke's your flatmate?” he questions, vocal tone matching his facial expression.

John smiles for real this time, not the awkward fake smile of seeing someone he hasn't seen in a while and not the half smile he gives to Sherlock when he's patronizing but not overly so. No, this smile lights up John's eyes and for a moment Sherlock is confused.

“Yeah,” answers John. “My best mate, actually.”

Sherlock is dimly aware that Harrison has replied, but he's stopped paying attention to that conversation. Not merely colleague or flatmate or even just friend. Best friend. The world around him has turned sort of blurry and everything's a lot quieter and he feels a sort of swelling in his chest that he's not accustomed to. There's a pleasant warmth that spreads to his fingers and toes and Sherlock is at a loss.

When he feels the grin his mouth has formed, he gets it. It's not satisfaction, like solving a case brings This is—not happy, because he's been that, when he's notified of a particularly puzzling murder. It's more than just happy, it's bordering on joy or glee or something equally unfamiliar to Sherlock.

John finally catches the expression Sherlock's wearing, this odd mixture of confusion and happiness. He smiles warmly at Sherlock and says, “Of course, you great idiot.”

Sherlock settles into a seat on the other side of John and listens idly to the ebb and flow of their conversation. He orders a drink and watches the other patrons of the bar, stealing the occasional glance back at John. John, his best mate, his only friend. And it's mutual.

And John looks at him and he just knows. Can this thing get any more perfect?
