Prompting Part XXXV

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 comes just from sucking John's cock.

Mary leaves John and disappears without a trace (you decide if she's going back to her old life or if she's trying to protect John from people from her past). John moves back to Baker Street and while Sherlock's glad to have John back, he hates to see him heartbroken, so he decides to track Mary down and bring her back to John.

Mycroft is send undercover abroad by his masters.
(take your pick where to).
He's attacked, bitten, turned into a vampire. He disappears for 6 - 12 months. When he comes back, he acts like nothing has happened. But Sherlock is suspecting something. In time, Mycroft's wardrobe is starting to change. He's starting to wear more black/deep purple clothes, dyes his hair black, his nails on the hands are longer, he starts wearing rings, earrings etc. (If you want to get the idea what I mean, search on Youtube - Blutengel: You walk away video. I'm thinking of Mycroft looking something like that.)
Sherlock notices that his brothers eye color changes at will (once to red and once to white color) and he's faster and stronger than before.
Mycroft also starts frequenting clubs that are not registered anywhere. At the same time, when Mycroft comes back, weird deaths are starting to follow. The victims are drained of blood, nothing connects them. What has Mycroft brought behind him to London? Who's behind those deaths? And why is Mycroft in one of these clubs dancing anyway? He doesn't dance. Right?

Warnings: blood, death, vampires.
I know that there are vamp!lock prompts out there but I don't think there are many vamp!Mycroft. Mostly vamp!Sherlock or even vamp!John but rarely Mycroft. Usually he's already turned or born that way. So Mycroft-centric story would be nice.

John sat down to have his own meal and as he did so, he assessed his patient’s progress. All in all, Blackburn was doing well, in fact, recovering remarkably fast. To John’s surprise, this realization caused a sudden swell of warm satisfaction within him. He wondered at it while he sipped his tea and listened to the drumming of the rain outside and the faint hiss of the gas fire burning before him. How extraordinary to feel something, anything, for the first time in months, in circumstances such as these.

He was still sitting in the chair hours later when Blackburn woke again. John didn’t move as he watched Blackburn open his eyes and turn his head to look for John. Their eyes met and held. Neither of them blinked.

John, his fingers entwined and pressed thoughtfully against his chin, elbows resting on the arms of his chair, spoke first. “So, you are a morphine user then. An addict?”

Blackburn showed no surprise at the question. He shook his head almost imperceptibly. After a short silence he said, “Not any more. Its appeal is…occasional.”

“I see. And the ‘occasion’ yesterday was…?”

Blackburn raised his head. “Call me mad but I think a strong opiate is in order when one is about to be carved to pieces with a scimitar before the night is out. However, what do I know? I’m not a doctor.” He glared pointedly at John.

John looked away. “I used to be.”

“Unless you’ve been stricken off the Medical Register, you still are.” Blackburn’s tone was flat.

John glanced back at him. “Let’s talk about you. Who are you?”

“James Blackburn.”

“I don’t think so.”

“Ah. Talking in my sleep then?”

“Yes, quite a bit, actually.”

The man looked up at the ceiling before meeting John’s eyes again with his now familiar intense stare. “My name is Sherlock Holmes. I reside at 221B Baker Street, London. I am a consulting detective−when I’m not being forced by the British Government to take on futile and pointless undercover assignments.” His tone was sour.

John pressed his lips together and frowned. “So not a recruit to the QAT cause then. Not a brilliant chemist turned traitor?” Fury was welling up. “Just an amateur detective with a poor ability to pick friends. Is that it?” He rose with an angry shake of his head and began to pace the inside wall of the room with his hands on his hips.

Sherlock sat up unsteadily but determinedly. His voice, as hard and cold as his eyes, followed John. “You may be correct on the friends point. As for the rest of it, Doctor, you are mistaken! I assure you I am an amateur at nothing I do; chemistry, detection or anything else.” He paused. “Which is more than I can say for your clumsy efforts at kidnapping and incapacitating me! And…” He added coldly, “And it’s quite obvious that you fall short in the friends department yourself!”

John halted and drew a sharp breath but ignored the insults. He demanded, “Why the hell didn’t your handler pull you before last night?! QAT was right behind me. And you knew it. That’s why you came with me without a fight. Even unknown, I was a better option!”

Sherlock nodded once in confirmation.

John asked again, incredulously, “Why were you out in the cold just waiting around to be killed?!”

Sherlock bent his head to consider his hands in his lap. “My…er…handler…sometimes has limited options where I am concerned. This is one of those times.”

“What the hell does that mean?!” demanded John in exasperation. “You’re expendable?” At Sherlock’s nod of admission, John exclaimed in disbelief, “My God, you must have done something pretty big to piss-off the British government to that degree!”

Sherlock grimaced. “The British government is frequently…pissed-off…at me, John.”

John gave a humourless laugh. “This thing has been a cock-up right from the start.”

Sherlock nodded and said, his tone resigned, “On that, we agree.”

OP here.
Perfect! So great to finally see them talking to each other.
As usual, I look forward to reading what happens next!

Sherlock really did die in Reichenbach. Everyone is shocked when he rises, looking like a zombie, but with all his memories and feelings intact. It takes John a while to realize that zombie!sherlock is the same sherlock he fell in love with.

Yesssss

.. just by hearing Sherlock's velvety deep voice tell him all kinds of dirty things.

(Obviously inspired by above prompt)

Mary is a product of the Red Room. One of the people she has been avoiding is Natasha Romanov, who was in her training group, because she only knew her before Fury brought her into SHIELD, when Natasha was a less nice person than she is now. Circumstances happen and they meet up and discover they've both moved on and away from their pasts and what it's cost them to do so.

Because who doesn't love super powers? In a world where people with special abilities is common enough I'd love to see the cast with unique abilities. Not everyone wears their powers in their sleeve except everyone thinks Sherlock's ability is rather obvious - of course his way of reading others. Or...is it? (So...it would be nice to see a superpower AU where Sherlock's power isn't necessary telepathy or, rather, could be a darker form of it - can literally kill with his mind, for example).

Could be Sherlock/John established relationship or just friendship, just please give me some action scenes/good case fic.

As an after thought, of course Mycroft's abilities would be ~~stalking~~ keeping track of anyone he chooses to. Curiously enough or not Sherlock seems to be immune to this...

For reasons, Sherlock and John are asked to investigate the theft of $18 million dollars worth of maple syrup from the Canadian Maple Syrup Reserve. Or alternately, Sherlock and John need to find a way to steal $18 million dollars worth of maple syrup.

This prompt brought to you by captcha!croft, who gave me "Maple Syrup Reserve" followed by "They ate it" and reminded me of the maple syrup heist of 2012.

I'd really to see something Mystrade based on Caro Emerald's Tell Me How Long. It can be a songfic or a fanvid (Fanvid sounds really good, actually). Multiple fills welcome.

Thanks :)

How does this not exist already?! THIRDED.

I've always loved The Grand Tour of Europe (http://falling-voices.livejournal.com/25701.html) by falling_voices. It's not overly long, but it's lovely.

Ooh, thanks!

Jim's an artist. He's still a criminal mastermind, painting's just one of his outlets. And it's useful in forgeries. Sebastian's his favourite subject but he is freaking POSSESSIVE of the portraits, doesn't let even the sniper see them.

Sebastian sees them anyway. Maybe he orders them destroyed after his death, or he gets transported to the future when Jim's only remembered as an artist. Just, anything.

BONUS POINTS; Sebastian loves art. So much he'll flat out refuse to destroy a museum or kill someone if it'll damage a painting.

Take a "somewhat weird" threesome from this list and make it work

Sally/Sherlock/John
Lestrade/Sherlock/Sally
Sally/Sherlock/Anderson
Mycroft/Sally/Lestrade

Everyone thinks Mycroft never does his own missions. That's not true. Sometimes he does it himself because he can't bring himself to send an agent to his almost certain death. Mycroft completes the mission. He is fine. He just needs John to prescribe him some meds to take care of the potential STDs.

While talking to Mycroft, John realises what happened and asks if he can physically examine Mycroft for internal damage etc. At first Mycroft declines but he changes his mins later. But John asks if he's sure because doing the examination against one's will is like rape again. Mycroft scoffs - it's not like the sex was completely non consensual, he technically agreed to it because the other option is death and war.

Implied Sherlock has also made this choice.

+10000 if Mycroft making fun of Sherlock's virginity is just a way for the both of them to cope - for Mycroft, it's because he couldn't save his brother from this fate and for Sherlock is because Sherlock has never had sex without underlying consequences (ie he's never had sex for pleasure).

Seconded.

Oh dear lord yes. This prompt is everythjng.

Prompt:
John and Moriarty grew up together. John was kept in the dark for a long time about Jim but when he found out about the fact Moriarty was working with a bunch of bad people (and was a criminal mastermind) he broke off all contact with him. Jim actually lets him go despite being pissed off to high heavens and wracked with grief.

John eventually goes off , gets shot, and finds Sherlock.

+5 Jim gets (or tries to) a replacement!John . Sebastien could be it or a robot version of John .

+10 If it's Seb he is more than just the 'muscle.' Like he has a degree in something or is good at things more than just killing.

+100 John was his step-bro

+1000 They were in a relationship despite that. I'd rather not see underaged smut though.

Sherlock isn't Mycroft's brother. Or family. He meet Mycroft one day when he was a young man and Mycroft, for whatever reason, latched on to him . Mycroft literally just decided he was going to take over Sherlock's "empty" big brother position and it didn't (and doesnt') matter WHAT Sherlock says or does Mycroft is firm in this. Sherlock speculates it could be due to many things: the fact they were both geniuses, had similar world views, Sherlock was younger, in need of help...maybe Myrcroft was just lonely.

+10 Sherlock's parents are okay with this and even let Mycroft come over for tea and act like a real family member because he's done a shit ton of favors for the family in general including saving Sherlock numerous times and reporting back to them in detail what is going on with their son. All without actually wanting anything in return (or so it seems to them).

Kind of a long prompt!

I was thinking of JubyPhonic's lyrics for The Great Game of Life, and from the title, naturally thought of Sherlock. Suddenly I remembered Moriarty and Sherlock on the rooftop, Moriarty saying, "You ARE me", and I realized I desperately need a fic where Sherlock is multiples of the main cast, all of the main cast, or even every character in the series/world, all of them reincarnations of him, some of whom happen to meet.
Imagine Molly, Mrs. Hudson, Lestrade, Sally, even John, (ooh, maybe Anderson! Mycroft might be kinda meta, and IDK if siblings are usually considered possible in reincarnation, but if you want to, go ahead!) all being Sherlock at some point in their lives/vise versa. Maybe in one life he's a murder victim, another life a criminal, another a random witness.

Basically, give me a reincarnation fic with your own interpretations of the whole thing.

Here's the vid for anyone who wants it, and the song lyrics can be found below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UbHY7vBAp4o

My first life was so boring just forget mentioned it
And my second seemed to let me do all of the things my first life didn't
Third life was a hateful man all poison to the bone
In my fourth, I played piano but just didn't have the eyes to read the notes

In my fifth life, I supported girls - of course that wasn't all
My sixth life was corrupted though I guess it was little fun
Seventh life I cried so much and all I did was mourn
In my eighth life, was so rich I could've bought the world and EVERYTHING

In this life is a game played by a flaky god
He gambles every life
Try to escape but you know the path you're on is game and set

See how the game of life is playing all of us for fools
Dancing a string around us, making all these silly rules
See how he looks down on us like we're acting out a show
Throw the dice and let's see which head will roll...

By nine, I drew some manga but the deadlines left me dead
My tenth life was a teacher, as a pedo***** I worked part time
Next life, what, eleven? Sorry I try to forget...
Never could describe how awful - no I'm terrified to think of all

The things that such a die can do, kinda crazy
Deciding everyday
Try to escape but the days repeat and keep you here to stay

See how the game of life is never won, you only play
Bore him and you will find you're crumpled up and thrown away
Clinging to fate and blaming it when life won't go your way
Such a laugh HA! Life is just a game

Cry out all your eyes or win a new fortune
The chance is one out of six
Try to escape, why not try your luck and see what you may get?

See how the game of life is playing all of us for fools
Dancing a string around us, making all these silly rules
See how he looks down on us like we're acting out a show
Throw the dice and let's see which head will roll...

Sickly grinning downward, tosses out a pair of dice
Cheating way around the board "Ah this is paradise"
People praying on their knees but no there to hear
Ah look down at all the puppets here
Ah look up at all the puppeteers

Seconding the latter idea of protecting John.

Oh god, I can see him coming to John as someone who will certainly be confidential, but less of a hassle than getting a private doctor.
