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] 2b/? Homeless!Sherlock
"John... John... Help me, John. Help us. We need you, John, please help us."
The words echoed in the darkness and John spun, trying to find the source. There was nothing but the oppressive blackness, however, the calls seemingly coming from all sides. John backed up slowly, trying to keep away from voices that seemed to be coming closer even as he couldn't see them, pressing against his mind and making goosebumps break out on his skin.
A hand dropped on his shoulder from behind and John jumped forward, spinning around and nearly tripping over his own feet. The hand still hung in the air over where his shoulder had been and, as the arm and body responsible for it came into view, John felt his heart seize in his chest.
"No, no, no," he mumbled, staggering back, the gaunt, emaciated frame following. Dead eyes stared at him from out of bloodied sockets, bruised and cracked lips widening in a horrifying parody of a smile that crinkled the sloughing skin clinging stubbornly to the side of the spectre’s face and revealed the flesh beneath.
“John...” It wailed plaintively, reaching from him. “Help me.”
“Help us.” More voices joined in, coming from behind him.
John slowly turned his head to look at them, already knowing what he would see. Dead and decaying bodies surrounded him, bloodied and ruined, some missing limbs or, in a more horrific circumstance, clutching at a limb that remained attached by nothing more than a few thin centimetres of flesh and muscle. Yet even more others seemed to be missing even more important things, holes blown open in their heads and throats, abdomens slashed deep, eviscerating them or bodies blackened and charred and ruined by heat and shrapnel.
They reached for him, voices rising in desperation and pain. “John…”
“Dr. Watson...”
“Help us.”
“We don’t want to die.”
“Dr. Watson.”
“Doctor…”
“John.”
“Please…”
John cringed, shrinking away from them. He squeezed his eyes shut and pressed his hands to his ears, trying to drown them out. “No, no, no.” He repeated to himself. He couldn’t help them, no matter how much he wanted to. They were too far gone, just as they had been in the medical tents in the war. He couldn’t. There was nothing he could do. There hadn’t be then and there still wasn’t now.
He kept telling himself that but their wails just grew in volume, drowning him out of his own mind until he thought he was going to break from the sheer force of their screams. He lifted his head to scream right back, to tell them it wasn’t his fault, that he couldn’t do anything.
There was a moment’s silence and then they shuffled closer, encircling him, reaching for him in unison. “Why?” they cried out together. One pressed a hand over his face, pressing down. “You should have died with us, Dr. Watson.” He said, voice eerily flat before he increased the pressure of his fingers and shattered John’s skull.
