Prompting Part XXXIV

S3 SPOILER POLICY
THE MEME NEEDS ARCHIVISTS!

GUIDELINES

Anon posting is not required, but most definitely allowed. If you think you recognise an anon, keep it to yourself and don’t out them. IP tracking is off, and will remain that way.

Multiple fills are encouraged, and all kinds of fills are accepted! Fic, art, vids, cosplay, interpretive dance — whatever. Go wild! :D

Don’t reprompt until TWO parts after the last posting of the prompt.

RPF (real person fic, i.e. fic involving the actors themselves) is not supported at this meme.

Concrit is welcome, but kinkshaming, hijacking, and flaming are not tolerated.

THE FILLED PROMPTS POST
When you fill a prompt, please use the appropriate Filled Prompts Post to archive your fill (there are instructions on the actual post).

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, 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. If you want your fill to make it to the Delicious archive, that’s the way to do it.

Do not be afraid to ask questions about how it works if you are confused! The mods will be happy to explain.

WARNINGS/OFFENSIVE WORDING IN PROMPTS
Please consider warning for prompts that may trigger people (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 past any prompt that you dislike.

Remember: be civil, be friendly, but don’t be shy!

THINGS THAT MAKE BROWSING THE MEME EASIER FOR EVERYONE
Please nest your fills. Doing so will make it easier for archivists to save your fills to the Delicious archive. Using subject lines will also help people reading the meme in flatview keep track of what’s happening. Finally, titling your fills (even if it’s something silly) will be helpful to those tracking a lot of prompts or scrolling through the meme.

PROMPT FREEZES
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. After the 7000 comments freeze, a new part will be posted, and all prompting should happen on the new part.

In the wake of both DW 50th anniversary episode and series 3 finale there was a lot of posts circulating about certain someone being unable to kill off characters permanently, which inspired this prompt:

All characters [who have a major role] are literally unable to die. Make is as cracky as you wish!

Moriarty was seriously trying to shoot himself. And he did. And Sherlock was sincerely going to sacrifice himself for his friends, even though there was just no time to implement any plan. And he did. Frankly, they’re as confused as everyone else when they saunter into London days/week/months later.

Soon enough, it transpires that nobody they know can die. Suggestions: John has an accident/is assaulted during a case or whatever, and even though it’s quite clear the wound is fatal, he gets better. Somebody successfully assassinates Mycroft only to he him show up in their hideout next day and disappear them. Sherlock surviving being shot by Mary also gets attributed to this phenomenon. They also have to drop charges against him when it turns out that Magnussen miraculously survived a headshot. Lestrade isn’t even all that surprised when it turns out he’s bulletproof too. Mary flatlines during childbirth; half an hour later she’s perfectly fine, if a little confused. And so on.

Bonus: Anderson dies in some undignified way on everyone’s eyes [slips on slime at crime scene and crack his head fatally or something] and comes back to life. Sherlock is all “oh, come ON!”

SUPER BONUS: they’re all old and wrinkly and waiting for someone to die from old age. Someone does. Then they regenerate, Doctor Who-style, into a younger body. (I will love you forever if it’s revealed to be reason why Mrs Hudson ~mysterious death~ didn't leave a body to bury).

Oh god. Everything about this prompt. And the bonuses. I need all the bonuses.

Seconded into infinity.

Because he has to have started somewhere. At some point Sherlock must have made a specific acquaintance or gotten into some kind of trouble that prompted him to such drastic measures. I'd like to see what made him think kidnapping people was the best way to keep Sherlock safe, and maybe how that first kidnapping actually went down.

Lestrade calls another drugs bust onto Sherlock's flat one morning to get some evidence. What they [Lestrade & the volunteers for the drugs bust] didn't expect was Molly and Sherlock asleep together on Sherlock's bed.

I'd love to see everyone's reactions to finding out about their relationship -- any sort of fill would be awesome!!

Sherlock and Mycroft do love each other. They are after all the only ones who truly understand each other. So when nobody's watching, they actually have a rather mundane bromance. (no holmescest!) They touch each other affectionately, when they have time they read books together and of course mock the author together. I can see Sherlock bringing his brother a cupcake cos he knows how much he likes it and really he should be allowed to stray from his diet every once in a while... Mycroft keeps Mummy off Sherlock's back and maybe he helps Sherlock figure out a clue to a case... Maybe Sherlock helps his brother with some paperwork cos he hates that, or maybe brushes lint off his suit without even thinking twice about it, and maybe Mycroft gently kneads Sherlock's neck when he notices his shirt is starting to irritate him... when they say goodbye and there's noone around, they share a hug, before Mycroft goes back to work or whatever.
I'd love to see that sort of thing. Normally they wouldn't touch if their lives depended on it, but I'd like to see them touch like it's the most normal thing for them.

+100000000

Sherlock brought John, Greg, and Mycroft... But he didn't really want to...

Sherlock takes a case trying to solve a string of mysterious thefts that have occurred on a pleasure cruise liner, John of course accompanies him, And Lestrade comes along to help keep Sherlock in check and to make any actual arrests. Things are going great, until Mycroft makes an appearance. Seems that the boat's owner is a personal acquaintance and gracious benefactor of Mycroft's, and so he's come along to make sure the crime is solved expediently, and that Sherlock doesn't offend the man.
Then a major storm hits, The boat sinks and somehow Sherlock, John, Greg, and Mycroft end up stuck on an island, where Sherlock proceeds to quickly loose his mind!!

+Mycroft hiding under the trees because he's afraid he'll get sunburn, and sand keeps getting in his shoes. Whine!croft ahoy!
++ John and Greg go spear fishing/hunting, leaving the brothers to suss out edible vegetation, and Sherlock ends up having to save Mycroft from a wild boar, which he then kills, and brings back to flaunt before Greg with his rodent on a stick, and John with his anchovies.
+++Sherlock's ongoing attempts to build a coconut transistor radio.

So yeah, been playing an insane amount of The Sims 2: Castaway lately... And I made this scenario in game... (Sherlock has terrible relations with all three of the men. Sigerson the red chimpanzee however is his bestie! John is SO unamused... XDDD)

Anything, as long as it's consensual* and involves the two of them (though I'll confess that I massively prefer showers to wetting/desperation).

Bonus points if Mary's still pregnant. More bonus points if the receiving partner is the one asking for it, and the giving partner is unsure at first. More still if it goes on Mary's tits/John's dick.

I don't mind if you include Sherlock or someone else as well, as long as both John and Mary are involved.

*Accidents are all right, though, particularly if whoever hasn't had the accident is A) not a jerk about it and B) turned on by it, a bit.

Ah, seconding with all my heart, because watersports is one of my favourite kinks, second only to pregnant sex... fingers crossed for a full!

Sherlock is asexual, and Molly is understanding.
Not very specific, I know.

John has a fantasy and Sherlock and Mary indulge him because they love him and they like each other. They're both fantastic actors so they can improvise an amazing scene for him that he'll be wanking to for years. In my mind John really gets off on the humiliation aspect and they really play this, talking about his slight stature compared to Sherlock's, maybe other size differences, etc. I would love it if after the scene Sherlock goes down John, because that's what Sherlock and Mary want.

Seconding like WHOA

I've seen fics where John is insecure about his bullet wound, or Sherlock is hiding self harm scars, and they all tend to end with the other person kissing the scars and the person with the scars being fine with that. What I have yet to see is a fic where the person with the scar does NOT want it touched at all. It isn't because they think it makes them ugly or a bad person, it's because they don't like the sensation of being touched there.

TLDR: Sherlock doesn't want his self harm scars touched/John doesn't want his bullet wound touched.

YES. SECONDING!

Ever since Sherlock made the "real baby" comment at their wedding, John and Mary both haven't been able to stop thinking about it. First they would joke about it, and then it sort of escalated into dirty talk.

When they find out that Sherlock is all for it (though he's repressed the kink quite a bit), they are eager to invite him into their bed as their "baby."

Bonus points for Mary "breastfeeding" Sherlock, Sherlock using John's cock as a dummy, and bathtime.

Get as kinky with it as you like; this anon has no problems with watersports/diapers, although I would prefer any scat be at least treated with less graphic detail, and I would prefer to stay away from noncon (although dubcon aspects are A-OK with me).

Seconding this so freaking hard OMG

So I have a bit of a dub-con kink, especially in post-reichenbach,
Sherlocks-back-and-just-HAS-to-touch-him ones where John is all super pissed still and has to be pinned down because Sherlock is just sooo possessive/desperate to feel him.

However in nearly all the fics I've read bottom!John ends up going all limp and desperate and "please, oh god Sherlock, please" but I just don't think John would!

TL/DR : a dub-con, post-reichenbach fic where Sherlock takes John (dub-con style), John doesn't beg, and afterwards John is still just as pissed at Sherlock as he was before.

Fuyeah. I like this Angst Cream. John being pissed at Sherlock is wonderful. Seconding hard!

Sherlock is a girls name, because Sherlock used to be a girl.

Bonus if you make it his parents where actually supportive for a change.

You probably read it already because it's by a great author of the fandom, but recc'ing this anyway just in case you haven't:

Fandom: Sherlock (TV) (http://archiveofourown.org/tags/Sherlock%20(TV))
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: Author Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings
Characters: Sherlock Holmes
Summary:

He signs his correspondences to the police as Sherlock H, as he always has, and he signs his letters to his parents as SH -- they can take what they will from the S. He signs his school assignments S. Holmes, and manages to get away with it because he is the only Holmes in his classes. FtM!Sherlock. Contains trigger warnings for trans issues and brief mention of suicidal ideation.

Sherlock falls off a roof... Again. He then retreats to his mind palace to escape from the pain, only to become trapped within.

Meanwhile outside John struggles to keep his best friend alive after the doctors declare him brain dead.

But its not Brain Death.

Its Locked In Syndrome.

+Sherlock watching and listening to everything going on Via Movie projector/TV inside the mind palace and alternatively pitching fits and praising John.
++Mycroft showing up and knocking some heads together so they'll listen to John.
+++ Sherlock using "brain–computer interface" at some point.

And YES this was inspired by an episode of House: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locked_In_%28House%29

But please don't make it a copy. I want an original story, with just some of the elements and treatments mentioned.

This sounds very interesting. Something I would very much like to see :B

I know there's a fair amount of waltz lessons fic and Ballet!lock out there, but I'm DYING to see Sherlock and John dancing their goofy asses off to some pop music at a club.

Maybe during the night of Drunk!Lock? Can be friendship or slash. Please and thank you so much!! :)

*clears throat*

*triple checks anon*

Sherlock is on The Empty Hearse Kink Meme, because of course he is, and he notes a pattern: Sherlock is raped, or nearly raped, John finds out or rescues him, and the "comforts" him, at the least with blankets and take away, but mostly with Magical Healing Cock.

And it does sound magical! John gives him gentle and reassuring foreplay; he expertly brings Sherlock to earth-shattering orgasm, then there are more gentle cuddles and sweetly whispered words and John kisses his neck and makes him breakfast (he can't make his own--he was just/almost raped!) Best of all, John tells him his True Feelings.

So Sherlock decides--and remember this is NOT HIS AREA--that this is how he's going to get John to love him. He picks a fight with a closet case so he'll get attacked, engineering the situation so that John will walk in right before it really happens, but John will draw the conclusion Sherlock wants him to.

But this is real life, not The Empty Hearse Kink Meme, so things don't work out the way he planned.

Would prefer angst with a happy ending, but will take anything. Thank you for reading this long prompt.

*slow clap*

Greg Lestrade is just one blissful week away from being officially joined with Mycroft, and nothing could possibly ruin his good mood.

Nothing except the disappearance of said British Government that is. Seems that Crofty somehow disappeared/was abducted while in transit no less.

With no witnesses, no clues, and absolutely zero cooperation from the Government, who are doing their own investigation, and have forbidden Greg from getting involved. Greg is forced to go rogue, and enlists Sherlock, and John's to help him try, and track down Mycroft.

Or: After his fiancee Mycroft goes missing while on the way to work, DI Greg Lestrade goes vigilante along with Sherlock, and John in order to track down the kidnappers and save Mycroft.

+The group get inside information about the government's Investigation from Anthea.

Someone gets sick of Sherlock's behavior and calls in Supernanny to deal with him. She instructs the 'parents' (John? Mary? Mycroft?) on what they've been doing wrong, and what they need to do to get him to behave.

Repressed!Sherlock doesn't fantasize often, but when he does, it's always about a particular person* performing sexual acts on him completely against his will. The person in question somehow learns of this and is incredibly disturbed. Whether or not they get over it is up to the filler.

*preferably John, Lestrade, or Mycroft, but only one of them

Seconding like mad!

Post-Sherlock getting shot, pre-Christmas at the Holmes household.
Mary and John are still not on speaking terms, and Mary is living in the flat while John is back at 221B.

Sometimes when she's walking home, she can feel someone's eyes on her - feel that she's being followed. They never show their face, but she can always sense their presence, and they always seem to know where she will be.

She doesn't tell John about this, but the Doctor has problems of his own. Mainly that Sherlock keeps vanishing off at all hours of the day and night without explanation.

IN SHORT: Sherlock has a tracking device on Mary's phone and follows her around secretly to make sure she's safe.

Bonus points if she catches him and we get a sweet friend-ship moment for the two.

Aww secounding! I love protective Sherlock! > w <

I'd really love to read a steaming hot Sherlock/John with sex in public.

And I don't mean like in an empty toilet or a dark alley. I mean in public as in the middle of a crowd, in a restaurant with a lot of people around, in a crowded Underground, whatever.

But please let there be a lot of other people. Whether they finalky realise what's happening right beside them or if they stay oblivious is up to you.

Pretty please make it happen!

Oh gosh this put the very lovely image of John trying to subtly ride Sherlock in the middle of a very crowded tube in my head. Unf!

I need this so bad! (Probably just as bad as John needs Sherlock's cock to let him fuck him in public ;))

"What are you wearing?" (Yes, I realise our boys always wear practically the same thing, I suppose a little crack is inevitable, snark is very welcome.)
Maybe Mycroft is in a boring meeting and texts Sherlock... or Sherlock is bored out of his mind and starts harassing his brother over the phone...
Upto filler really.

I've never filled a prompt before so here's hoping I do it right!
OP - I hope you enjoy this. Spent a rather fun afternoon writing it and I remembered how much I prefer writing dialogue (or texts in this case) over actual prose. There can't be enough Mycroft/Sherlock!

What are you wearing? SH

Pardon? M

I rather thought the question is simple enough unless being the British Government has finally addled your mind. SH

Charming as always, brother dear. I might remind you that you catch more flies with honey. M

Buzz buzz buzzkill. So what are you wearing?

Pink lace panties. M

John would like to know what you said that made me spit my tea over all over him. SH

Oh dear. You should treat your good doctor better. M

He gets hazard pay. SH

Ah, I see. Hazard pay is code for having to put up with your lovely personality. M

You’re somewhat snippier than normal – are you on a diet again? SH

No. A certain someone just interrupted me and asked what I was wearing. I am in a meeting! M

An important one? SH

Yes.

Who with?

With Mallory and other people who don’t interest you whatsoever. Don’t you have a case?

No – all of London’s criminal class appear to be on strike. It’s tremendously inconsiderate of them really. SH

Indeed.

Why don’t you come over and provide a distraction? SH

Some of us must attend to the day-to-day grind of work. M

I’m sure I can provide appropriate levels of grinding if that’s what you’re after! SH

Don’t tease. I’m in a very serious meeting. M

Oh please. You get pouty when you don’t find yourself involved in an international war in some way once a month. SH

And do you refer to yourself as a brat when you don’t have a case then, brother dear?

Oh don’t deny you like me bratty! SH

You get bratty intentionally so I’ll top. Not always intentionally either, just your natural charm. M

I’m all about efficiency. Why don’t you come over and I’ll show you how good I can be instead? SH

I have meetings. National importance, security of the nation, et cetera. M

Boring. I know you’d rather be anywhere but given you’ve spent the last hour texting me. SH

You started it. And can’t John amuse you? M

Are you sure about that? [Photo attached] SH

[MMS received] Good lord, Sherlock. It’s the middle of the day and I’m in the middle of a meeting! And no. You know I don’t share. M

So what are you wearing? SH

Why does it matter?

So I can picture you, all prim and proper in one of your bespoke suits as I stroke myself off, perhaps even get some on your suit. SH

Filthy boy. M

Would definitely have to send my own to the cleaners but then that wouldn’t be the first time would it? I know how you like my come splattered over my purple shirt. SH

You must stop. M

Don’t be so dull. What can you deduce so far? SH

You’re on your bed, fully clothed. Almost presentable if it wasn’t for the unzipped trousers. You’re not wearing your shoes or socks though. M

Don’t forget about my fingers wrapped around my cock. How’d you know I was barefoot? SH

Only dullards wear shoes in bed. M

What else? SH

No underwear. You planned this.

I thought about visiting the Diogenes today. SH

Do stop hacking into my diary; you know it only serves to make Andrea annoyed with you and by extension, me. There are easier ways of finding out where and what I’m doing. M

I wish it was your hands on my cock right now. I can never do that thing you do with your wrist quite as well.

It’s all about the angles, my dear and thus I prefer your hand to mine. We should stop this now. M

It’s just getting interesting. What if I wasn’t here in my own bedroom but in whatever underground meeting room you’ve ensconced yourself in? SH

I’d probably have to shoot all the other people in the room, who dared to look at you, which I imagine would have rather dire consequences. M

Jealous becomes you, Mycroft. You have that glint in your eye, my most dangerous man. I remember the last time; you bit and sucked a trail of bruises down my neck and shoulder as you fucked me.

Oh god, Sherlock! You must stop - how would I explain why I’m hard? It’s inappropriate!

It’s not the worst of our sins, brother mine. Surely the table will protect your dignity. SH

Perhaps now but what do I do when I leave? M

Poor, lovely Janine, who in one night found out both her boyfriend (who she was prepared to be engaged with after a month of dating) and her best friend were using her.
Poor, strong Janine who had to work for Magnesun and put up with his face flicking, eye flicking, possibly worse things.
Janine who took her first opportunity to get enough money to get out.

Bonus for caring big-brotherly Sherlock who sees her flinch at first when he goes to touch her face, lets her stay at his place so she doesn't have to sleep alone at her place, and cares for her when she has had to deal with Magnesun.
Double bonus if Janine is prepared to use her relationship with Sherlock just as Sherlock is using his relationship with her, as a means to an end, to get out, and both are on some level aware of this...

Seconding. I would love to see something like this! Poor Janine had a bit of a tough time there. (I have started something with some of these elements but set while Sherlock is stringing her along, so not exactly what you're looking for - also, not getting written very fast...)

During what should have been a routine case, someone pulls a gun and Mary is shot. She is alright, but suffers a miscarriage. After almost a week of her lying in bed and refusing to eat, a completely emotional void, John calls Sherlock, hoping the detective will be able to help where he failed.

Sherlock comes over immediately, and to John's surprise, crawls into bed with Mary, pulls her close, and starts murmuring things like "it's alright" "it wasn't your fault" "you're safe now" into her hair. John joins him a second later, on her other side.

Whether it stays platonic or goes from there is up to anon, but I would like to see John and Sherlock trying to comfort a heartbroken and devastated Mary.

Bonus points if the grave for young Miss Watson was put next to Sherlock's in the cemetery.
Also bonus points for Mary falling asleep in both their arms, and John quietly thanking Sherlock/explaining how worried he's been, and Sherlock waves it off because of course he'd come, John and Mary are his favorite people in the world after all.
Make me cry if you want, but please give a happy ending.

Mary wasn't the first person to befriend Janine just to get close to Magnussen. With how often that happens, Janine's got pretty good at spotting that sort of person. Mary was, however, the first person to be honest about it - which is how they became friends.

Just something about Janine and Mary genuinely being close enough friends to merit Janine being Mary's maid of honor. Maybe Janine feeds Mary information? Maybe Mary helps her out when Magnussen's being a creep (ie all the time)? Maybe they also take time to do ordinary friendshippy things together too?

Pairings (other than John/Mary) not really wanted.

Bonus: Janine Moriarty, owing Mary Watson a debt.

Seconded!

AU in which Sherlock's an amazingly cool nanny. The kids love him because he teaches them weird things, often makes stuff explode for them, never talks down to them, apparently has an invisible friend too (called "skull"), knows how to deal with bullying kids..

Must have:

- Sherlock becomes the nanny for the Watson
- toddler aged kid!Watson
- Sherlock and John fall for each other
- must end in John/Sherlock (no threesomes or John/Mary)

Bonus:
- Sherlock becomes a consulting detective because of his job as a nanny
