sherlockbbc_fic | 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.

The smile left John’s face and his voice grew serious. “If we are going to pursue this, we need to set some boundaries or guidelines, especially with us being flatmates and all.”

“Okay, how about, first rule: no dating anyone else, especially women.”

John laughed, “It’s not like I got much chance to do that anyway. Here is my rule: no experimenting on each other without their full knowledge and permission, and that includes surveys.”

“Ugh, fine. You’re no fun. Okay, we are both allowed to stay up as late as we want without the other party harassing us to come to bed. For sleep, I mean.”

John winced. “Sherlock, after today, I think it might be better if we don’t share a bed, at least until I know that my dream is not coming back.”

Sherlock stiffened. “I didn’t mean to make assumptions.”

“It’s not that. I left bruises on you and it’s dumb luck that I didn’t kill you. If I were to kill you by accident...” his voice choked.

“I’ll sleep with a gun within reach. That way, if I think you are going to kill me, I can just shoot you.”

“Or I could stay in my room and not have to worry about being shot in my sleep.”

There was a long pause. John took a deep breath and broached the topic they’d been dancing around. “What about sex?”

Sherlock stared down at his plate. He wanted to tell John that he wasn’t ready for any kind of sex, tell him that the testicle incident had been a mistake, but he couldn’t bring himself to open his mouth. Romantic relationships required sacrifices. If necessary, he was willing to sacrifice his desire to take the physical aspect of their relationship slowly if John’s sexual needs demanded it.

“You set the pace. After all, this is new for you. We can move as slowly as you like.” He answered.

“And if I want to move fast?” John asked with heat in his voice.

Sherlock smothered his fear. Everything was spinning out of control. For a moment, he once again felt the bruising pressure of strong fingers around his throat.

He forced a smile, but said nothing.

A/N: Thank you for all the comments! I should have part nine up by either late Tues or Wed evening. 

Aww, our boys are so messed up. Sherlock, you speak up about your reservations! John will only feel worse later if he realizes you weren't fully willing. If only they could properly communicate. /sigh

I think John had a flashback after seeing that manly magazine. Poor dear.

I'm quite curious about what happened to him. I have some suspicions, but I don't think they quite add up. Loving this so far.

Thank you! I'm so happy you're enjoying it so far! As to what happened to him, my lips are sealed :)
