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.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Sherlock Holmes, the world's only consulting detective, is cold, ruthless, arrogant, and has no time or patience for sentiment. He is also an unbonded Omega who is careful to take his heat suppressants, as, unlike the average Omega (and Sherlock, as he will gladly tell you, is anything but average), he has no desire to become the human equivalent of a broodmare to some hormone-driven Alpha male, popping out one baby after another year after year. Such purported “domestic bliss” might be satisfactory, even desired by other Omegas, but not him. He had better things to do. Like solving crimes and proving time and time again how utterly useless the local police force often was when it came to the same.

Then one day he is called into a case that proves extremely difficult and time-consuming to solve. As days stretch into weeks with no resolution, Sherlock becomes so focused on finding the solution he neglects to take his suppressants. One day he decides to revisit the crime scene, hoping to unearth some new clue that will put all the pieces together. Unbeknownst to him, Anderson has had the same idea. Also unbeknownst to him, he's beginning to go into heat, something Anderson, an unbonded Alpha, instantly realizes when the two bump into each other at the crime scene. Hardly able to believe his good fortune, Anderson wastes no time forcing himself on his hated rival, knowing that a successful mating will form a bond which will leave Sherlock under his complete and utter control. Of course that's the last thing Sherlock wants, but his vast intellect stands no chance against thousands of years of biology and he finds himself helpless to resist Anderson’s advances. By the time they leave the crime scene a bond has formed, tying the two of them together for the remainder of their lives. As much as he despises his new status, Sherlock is absolutely determined that it will have as little impact on his life as possible. He limits his exposure to Anderson as much as possible and adamantly refuses to take up residence with his new “mate”, either by leaving Baker Street or allowing Anderson to move in. Undetered, Anderson takes full advantage of the power he now holds over Sherlock and takes to "scenting" Sherlock at every available opportunity, rubbing his body all over the detective and practically smothering him with pheromones, and undeniable message that Sherlock belongs to him and him alone. But he also knows that in order to cement the bond and make Sherlock permanently his requires the successful birth of a child. So Anderson begins making regular visits to Baker Street, bedding Sherlock and knotting him frequently in a concerted effort to impregnate the detective. But already having made the disastrous mistake of forgetting to take his suppressants, Sherlock is not about to do the same when it comes to his birth control. Thus the situation remains at an impasse, with both parties stubbornly refusing to yield.

Then one day an ex-army doctor going by the name of John Hamish Watson, who happens to be an unbonded Alpha, steps into a lab at Bart's in the hope of acquiring a new flatmate. His efforts meet with success and he soon finds himself sharing his life with a man who is at times an incredible genius and at others a spoiled brat. And while John is aware his flatmate is also an Omega, he has no idea the detective is bonded until they go to their first crime scene together. Anderson is already there and immediately pounces on Sherlock, "scenting" him furiously. To John’s surprise, Sherlock makes no attempt to repel or protest Anderson’s actions, instead, he stiffly and silently endures the other man’s attentions. The entire scenario leaves John shocked and confused. It is blatantly apparent that Sherlock and Anderson are bonded, but since it is unheard of for bonded pairs to live apart, why is John sharing a flat with Sherlock rather than Anderson? It is also apparent from Sherlock’s reaction as Anderson leans over to sink his teeth into the soft, pale skin at the back of his neck, that for the detective, this bonding is not a happy one. That thought does not sit well with John.

No, it does not sit well at all.
