Prompting Part XXXIV

[sherlockbbc_fic]

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.

CONTACTING MODS
Your mods for this meme are ellie_hell, charname, anonspock and anonbach. If you have any questions, concerns, comments about anything at all on the meme feel free to send a PM or contact us via the Page-A-Mod post.

My Dear Lady Disdain

[(Anonymous)]

Sherlock had expected her to slam the door in his face as soon as he opened it. She didn’t. She just lent on the doorframe and folded her arms, pulling her soft white dressing gown closer to her as she did. Sherlock stood before her, hands in his pockets and same blank expression on his face.
‘So,’ said Sally, ‘Not dead.’
‘No.’
Sally nodded. ‘So Phillip wasn’t acting insane.’
‘I wouldn’t go that far. But he was right about me faking the whole suicide.’
‘I’d hope so. Otherwise you standing on my doorstep would either mean you’re the messiah or a zombie.’
‘Are those my only choices?’
‘Yes. And messiah’s already been crossed off the list, no matter what you may think.’
Sherlock’s mouth twitched. Sally couldn’t tell if he was suppressing a smile or a sneer. ‘Can I come in?’
‘Must you.’
‘Yes, I think I must.’ Sherlock shouldered his way past Sally and into her flat – clean, Spartan, fewer ornaments and photographs than an average apartment. A place to live, but not a home. ‘I suppose you heard that I am back as an unofficial consultant for Scotland Yard.’
Sally clenched her jaw and closed her door. ‘Really? So a few front page stories in the paper because of an elaborate magic trick, and you’re back getting in the way of real cops who are actually trying to solve crime?’
This time Sherlock actually did scowl. ‘You solve crimes now? I didn’t realise how far the Met has progressed while I’ve been away.’
‘And by away, you mean faking your own death after escaping police custody, which last time I checked, was a felony.’
‘Last time I checked you arrested an innocent man, because you were completely taken in by the head of a criminal organisation.’
‘Last time I checked you allowed your best friend to grieve for you for two years.’ Sally stepped forward, her hands on her hips. ’What, the great deductive genius couldn’t work out how to use a phone?’
Sherlock stepped forward too. They were now inches away from each other. ‘Last time I checked you didn’t exhibit any signs of grief over my “death”. A death you in part drove me to. Isn’t that, what’s the phrase, the pot calling the kettle a psychopath?’
‘Last time I checked, you were still wearing pants.’
Sherlock looked down. ‘Huh. So I am.’
‘We should fix that.’
‘Definitely.’
Sherlock grabbed hair by the scruff of her neck and forced her lips up to his own; an aggressive kiss that was all bruising pressure and teeth. Sally, not one to be one upped by some public school twat, seized him by his stupid coat collars and thrust him up against the wall, making him grunt as his head hit the wood paneling.
'So I see your love-making hasn't changed in the last two years.' Sherlock murmured between kisses as he trailed them across her cheek, under her jaw and down her neck. 'Still as graceless and heavy-handed as your investigation techniques.'
Sally looped her arms around his neck and pulled herself upwards, wrapping her legs around his waist. Sherlock's hands automatically slipped under her arse and kneaded the soft flesh through her dressing gown. 'Do you ever shut up, freak? I know you're experience with women is pretty limited to those you've seen on a slab but even you must know this doesn't count as pillow talk.'
'Really?' Sherlock gripped Sally possessively and carried her towards the bedroom. 'I guess for that we need a pillow.'
