Prompting Part XXXIV
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.

“I don’t care if you’re wearing a suit made out of porcupine quills. Put your arms around me, you silly idiot.”
Sherlock wrapped shaking arms around him, holding him tightly so that they pressed together from thigh to chest. There was nothing platonic or friendly about their embrace. John could feel Sherlock’s half-aroused cock against his stomach. He pressed his lips gently to his collarbone. He felt Sherlock shiver and a light touch of lips against his hair.
As usual, his flatmate’s big brain had to spoil everything.
“Are you just doing this because you feel sorry for me?”
John pressed his cheek against his chest. “Sherlock, I am feeling a lot of very strange things right now, but pity is not one of them.”
“Could you elaborate?”
There was a long moment of silence. “Imagine that you lost something that was integral to your identity as a human being.”
“Okay.”
“Then imagine that, not only did you lose it, but you forgot it ever existed.”
“I’m imagining.”
“Then imagine you found it again.”
“That’s very nice, but what does holding me have to do with your rediscovery of your sexual identity?”
“I’m not sure. The only thing I know is that you smell wonderful, your body feels amazing against mine, and I love the sound of your voice, even when you are ruining my nice romantic moment.”
“Oh, this is a romantic moment, then?”
“Yes, it is.”
“Should I do something?”
“Just keep on with what you are doing right now.”
“But I’m not doing anything.”
“Precisely.”
Eventually, John’s arms got tired and his stitches began to itch. In spite of the discomfort, he didn’t want to move. He tried to analyze what he felt for Sherlock. Before the kiss, he couldn’t imagine life without him. It wasn’t just that, though. He’d always loved weird little things about Sherlock. He loved watching him play the violin, the way his bony wrists stuck out from his sleeves, the way those strong slim white fingers moved over the strings. He loved his prickliness and the way the corners of his lips turned down before he made a particularly scathing remark.
Before the kiss, he knew he felt platonic love for Sherlock. In the shower, he realized he felt physical attraction for him as well. Did that combination translate into romantic love? John didn’t know. The shift in their relationship was too recent for him to make heads or tails of it. He did know that he wanted to kiss Sherlock again, wanted to do more than kiss Sherlock, and that he wanted more than just physical intimacy.
Suddenly, feelings of insecurity flooded his brain. What if Sherlock did not want to kiss him again? What if he desired physical intimacy, but not emotional intimacy? Sherlock was the king of compartmentalization. John feared that if he stuffed their relationship into a box, only be taken out and played with when convenient, he would suffocate.
