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.

FILL: Take What We're Given (Just Because You've Forgotten Doesn't Mean You're Forgiven) Part 6f

[identity profile] soliandxpyne.livejournal.com 2014-05-01 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
‘Yes, thank you,’ he insists, speaking quickly and raising his voice preemptively against John’s undrawn breath, against the increasing whinge of rotor blades, ‘because it could have been much, much worse, and you were careful and you were, you were patient with me, more than I deserved, and you did something distasteful, so Magnussen wouldn’t do something even more so. Of course, thank you.’ Gloves finished with, Sherlock loops his scarf around his neck briskly.


‘Just transport,’ he reminds John, or maybe himself, with the hint of a self-deprecating smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth. Though Sherlock’s not certain either of them really believe that, not with the unspoken tension that has existed between them since Sherlock’s return, and which has only increased since John’s marriage. That very tension which stretches between them now, made brittle and aching sweetly beneath Sherlock’s sternum in the wake of John’s touch, in the wake of John’s words whispered into his skin and John’s ejaculate slowly seeping from between his legs.


The circumstances certainly aren’t what Sherlock would have chosen (not least of all because of that pointless guilt in which John will insist indulging), but, as Mycroft had taken great pleasure in snidely informing Sherlock on several occasions during their youth, beggars did not have the luxury of being choosers.


Sherlock abruptly jerks his head in the direction of the patio doors. ‘We should get out there.’ Sherlock has his witnesses, and his dear John has his gun tucked thoughtlessly at the small of his back, where it will be within easy reach, out of sight until too late. Sherlock will finish this, and Appledore’s “vaults” will be destroyed.


John reaches out and grasps Sherlock’s sleeve. ‘Sherlock. You can’t possibly... We need to talk about this,’ John insists, adamant. He shoots a glare toward Magnussen, outside. ‘Not now, obviously, but this is seriously—’


‘Later,’ he assures John blithely, intending nothing of the sort. Once he kills Magnussen, Sherlock is aware there very well may be no “later.” Not for him, anyway, but there will be one for John, and that is what’s important. That is what the point of all this has been.


Sherlock gently shakes John off and makes for the open door. He can feel John’s stare, John’s displeasure, burning into the center of his back like a tangible touch but, crisis passed, their natural dynamic has been regained, and John remains silent. Sherlock steps through the doorway.


Magnussen peers over his shoulder with a cheerfully mocking grin, raises his voice to be heard above the roar of the helicopter.


‘Here we go, Mr. Holmes!’

OP, I hope you enjoyed reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it, and thanks so much for the fantastic prompt that got me writing again for the first time in five years. :D


I was also thinking I'd like to put this up on my (brand new) AO3 account, but I know it's a bit rough, and as an American my attempts at "proper" spellings and turns of phrase are kind of all over the place, so if anyone is interested in being a beta and "Brit-pick" for me, please email me at soliandxpyne@gmail.com, thanks!

Not the OP, but this was utterly fantastic in every possible way. I'm a big fan of fuck or die and 'bad guys made them do it', and this has to be one of the best and most vivid I've ever read.

Please post a link here when it's on AO3 so I can bookmark, and please don't let five more years go by without utilizing your talent, because you have quite a bit!

I love how in love they are and I love how neither of them sees that and I especially love how much this hurts them. <3
