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: No Refuge from Memory: 7b/?
He yanked open the bedroom door and dashed into the room, stumbling over the mess that littered the floor. John’s arms and legs thrashed violently. His injured hand thumped against the wall. John gave another horrible “uhhh,” then his back arched so severely, it looked like he was levitating off the bed.
John had warned him to never interfere when he had a nightmare, but Sherlock worrieded that in his current state, he would injure himself.
He stepped forward. He tried to restrain John’s arms, but they were ripped out of his grasp. John took a swing at Sherlock. He managed to avoid the full force of the blow, but it still hurt like hell.
He took a risk and threw himself on top of John, trying to trap his arms and legs under his own. John wriggled like an eel. Sherlock’s unwillingness to hurt his flatmate put him at a disadvantage. John elbowed him in the solar plexus, and while Sherlock was still gasping for breath, climbed on top of him. He wrapped his fingers around his throat. Sherlock tried the trick of grabbing John’s pinkie and bending it back. He did not react. Sherlock jammed a fingernail up into the nailbed of John’s middle finger, again with no reaction. Black spots danced in front of his eyes. He arched and thrashed in panic, desperately clawing at John’s fingers.
The unfocused glaze left John’s eyes. He stared down at Sherlock in shock.
“What happened?” he asked. He rolled off of him to lie on his side. He curled into himself. Sherlock suspected his injuries were agony.
“You had a really bad night terror. I was afraid you were going to hurt yourself, so I made the mistake of trying to intervene.” Sherlock’s voice was hoarse from the choking.
“That’s weird. I don’t remember falling asleep.”
“What do you remember?” Sherlock whispered.
“I wasn’t doing much of anything, just mulling things over.” He blushed and looked away, “Then I picked up that magazine on the table, then nothing. I must have dozed off while I was reading. Probably all that talk of torture stirred something up.”
He studied Sherlock’s face. “Why are you whispering?”
“You choked me half to death before you woke up.”
“Oh God, I’m sorry.” He touched Sherlock’s cheek. “Looks like I hit you too.”
Sherlock ignored him, “You should check your dressing. I wouldn’t be surprised if you tore a few stitches.”
John groaned, “I honestly don’t believe I can move right now. Every muscle in my body hurts.”
Sherlock pushed up John’s shirt and vest and peeled off the corner of the dressing. There was a small trickle of fresh blood, but the stitches still held. “Your stitches are fine.”
John didn’t respond. He had withdrawn to his own private world. Sherlock suddenly felt like he was intruding. He got up and went to the door. He turned, “If you need anything…”
John just stared straight ahead.
Sherlock did not have any first-hand experience with John’s nightmares beyond the occasional creak of bedsprings and muffled cries that filtered down the stairs. On really bad nights, John would come into the kitchen and drink cup after cup of tea and stare into space like he was doing now. Sherlock left him alone on those nights.
He came to the uncomfortable realization that in some ways, John was a complete stranger. Sherlock had no idea how to help him. Should he have stayed with him until he seemed a little more present? Should he have never gone to help him in the first place? Sherlock had no idea. Then a terrifying thought occurred to him. What if he’d made John worse?

Oh, Sherlock! Bad idea!
