Filling Fest!
The Filling Fest Is Over. Thanks for everyone who participated!
Thanks to everyone who voted and shared their input. It really helped us figure out how things will go.
The fest will focus on prompts from Parts VI-VII (for those who want to fill prompts from the earlier days of the meme), and Parts XXIV-XXV (for those who want to revisit prompts from right after series two was aired. If you want to use the Filled Prompt Posts to browse through prompts, Part VI starts here, and Part XXIV starts here.
1. For the next three days, you can browse through those four parts and nominate prompts you’d like to see filled. Please include the full prompt and the link to the original prompt in your nomination. Those three days are for nominations only; don’t start posting your fills until this period is over.
2. After those three days, the nomination period will end and the filling period will begin. If you’re inspired by a nominated prompt, that’s great. If you prefer to look through those four parts and fill something that catches your eye, that’s great too. The filling period will last for two weeks.
3. All kinds of fills are welcome, as are multiple fills.
4. Anon posting is allowed, but not required.
5. Nominations without the link to the original prompt will be deleted. Same for nominations from parts other than VI, VII, XXIV and XXV.
6. Only post new fills that you haven’t posted anywhere before. If you have a WIP from one of those parts that’s gathering dust on your hard drive, it’s fine to post it, but only if you never started posting it.
7. Post your fill in this thread, but link to your fill in the original post (or in the Overflow post if the original post is full).
8. 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.
9. If you have questions, please ask in the appropriate thread in this post.
One last thing: have fun!
The filling period will end on Saturday May 19th around 20:00 GMT.
Post your fill as a direct reply to THIS THREAD and please include the original prompt (or a summary of the prompt).
Re: Doctor Holmes 2/?
“John?”
“John? Can you hear me? Are you awake John?” Don't make me shake you. Or poke you.
“I bloody wish I wasn't.”
“John! Are..are you alright? You look ill.”
“No I'm just lying here in a pool of my own sweat because it sounded like such a good idea!” Ok, you're in a bad mood. Understandable. Please lower your sarcasm levels John.
“Do you need anything?” See? I am making an effort.
Wait, did he just hear correctly or did Sherlock Holmes just offer to help him? Maybe he was hallucinating. Yeah that was probably it.
“John?”
“I need you to piss off. I can deal with this myself.” I'm a bloody doctor, I can do this.
“Somehow I doubt that. Wait here, I will bring you something for your throat. It sounds hoarse.”
How had John missed that? It was his bloody throat. And Sherlock was right, as always, it was starting to become sore. But he felt hesitant in drinking anything Sherlock brewed, it probably wasn't safe. Especially when you find a severed finger next to the tea or an ear in the fridge sitting on the butter.
In fact most of their kitchen could be declared as health hazard and yet Sherlock never got so much as a sniffle, the bastard.
------
Said bastard returned several minutes later with a warm mug of something. It smelt nice. It smelt safe. John attempted to sit up, failing miserably as his head began to spin. Strong, thin arms lifted him into a better position and held his head up and let him sip the contents of the mug. It tasted like honey and lemon and soothed his throat. Who'd have thought Sherlock knew such remedies?
Sherlock rested John's head back on the pillows and placed the mug next to the full glass of water. John gave him a confused look and Sherlock found himself raising his eyebrows in response.
“What?”
“Why are you doing this?”
“Isn't that what people do? Take care of sick flatmates?”
“You can't use that excuse for everything.” John rasped, a yawning taking hold of his words.
“I can and will. Besides, I suppose it is partly my...um..my...”
“Your what? Cat got your tongue?”
“What? No. Alright, it's my fault? Ok? Happy now?” I feel guilty. Me. Sherlock Holmes. What have you done to me?
“Ecstatic. Now piss off.”
Sherlock felt himself pouting. That was very rude. After all, he had tried his best to look after John and now he was pushing Sherlock away. Maybe he thought he could take better care of himself? Doctors were always rumoured to be the worst of patients and it seemed like John was proving the rumour to be true.
“No.”
“I'm sorry?”
“No. I'm not moving. You obviously think you can take care of yourself, but look at you? You couldn't even sit up without my help and no doubt your fever will take hold of you mind and render you unable to do the most menial of tasks. No I will stay here.”
"Suit yourself. Just don't do anything or say anything." John kicked the covers off his bed again.
"You're in fine insulting form this afternoon."
"Didn't I just tell you to be quiet? Course I'm in a bad mood. I'm bloody sick!" And whose fault was that?
Sherlock simply gave him a confused but curious look. John turned away and closed his eyes. Inhaling suddenly when he felt a cold, wet cloth plop onto his forehead. Oh that felt nice. Really great. Ok, Sherlock was actually trying to do the right thing and he wasn't half bad at it. That doesn't mean John was going to be nice to him when it was his fault in the first place.
If Sherlock wanted forgiveness, he was going to have to work for it.
