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.

Sherlock and John are finally taking their friendship in the next direction and are snogging and cuddling. Sherlock is naturally taking advantage of being so close and cataloging bits of John he hasn't seen up close before. He sees a small scar on John's neck and asks about it, especially concerned because it could have sliced thru John's jugular.

John says it happened when he was a resident - a filthy, unkempt young homeless man, found in terrible weather and brought into A&E, with an almost fatal overdose. John got his heart started again and kept him from choking on his own vomit and they were treating him when he unexpectedly came to, terrified, and lunged for a scalpel and managed to nick John with it before he could be subdued, resulting in John needing emergency treatment himself.

John doesn't bear any ill will towards the young man as he was out of his head with so many drugs and exposure and was just frightened and hallucinating and of course John didn't dream of pressing charges, he just was concerned and sympathetic. John tried to follow up a couple of days later when he was better himself, to make sure the young man got help but luckily he'd been claimed by family and placed in rehab and they didn't have his real name. John says he hopes the man is better and happy now. He jokes that he learned to keep instruments out of the reach of unpredictable patients.

The timing of the incident is right and Mycroft had told him he'd nearly killed a doctor, which is what convinced Sherlock to stay in rehab, and so Sherlock deduces that it was him, that he had nearly killed John. He confesses to John, embarrassed at what he was back then, such a mess that John hasn't even recognized him as that young man, and that John had seen him that way and he is amazed that John had saved his life then. Both are completely shocked. Instead of being disgusted John once again surprises him by being proud of him for turning his life around and becoming such a great man.

This is very intriguing! Seconding so hard!!!

Bloody hell OP, if I had a uterus I'd give you my babies.

Okay, amazing prompt. I love that part at the end, where John is so proud of Sherlock, understanding how hard it was to come back from that and become someone that helps so many people.

Christ on a bicycle! Sherlock very nearly ruined his chance at happiness years ago and didn't even know it until today. I want this fic!

Yesyesyesyeyes. This has the potential to be epic.

God yes, requesting this into infinity.

I agree with the other responders, this works brilliantly on so many levels. John seems destined to look after Sherlock, Sherlock seems destined to try to improve himself because of John's influence. And they are both destined to look out for each other.

Sherlock saved John's life by getting him out of that crappy bedsit, unaware that John (in this potential fic) has already saved his in the past. Then John saves Sherlock from the poisoned pill, Sherlock saves John by jumping from Barts...

I can see so much potential here to show us how very entwined their lives are.

Whoa, stunning prompt!

Just...OMG! Yes, this!!!!

I can't believe I'm doing this but I'm working on a fill. I apologize in advance for quality- or rather lack there of.

That's brilliant, I am looking forward to reading it so much!

Utterly fantastic, can't wait to read this.

Just a hopeful reader checking in, can't wait to read this one!!

Just checking to see if there is a fill yet. Waiting patiently though, author-anon!

Someone else checking back to poke you authoranon, lol!

Writer anon take your time if you do this fill!

I could wait for a while as long as someone does this!

So would I, looking forward to it very much! This is a brill prompt, definitely take your time with it.

Adding my poke, and I also agree, take your time. Maybe just let us know that we aren't hoping in vain... : D

Just wanted to poke the author-anon and let you know that we are all waiting patiently for your story! Really looking forward to reading it!

That awkward moment when you realize you wrote the totally wrong beginning and have to redo it... -trails off before skittering away to start the rewrite-

Just really glad to know that you are writing it! We'll all keep checking back in the hopes that you have started posting, but no worries, take your time until you are happy!
