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.

Captain John Watson is invalided home from Afghanistan. So is Sherlock Holmes, a higher ranking military man (filler can decide how high and the injury that got him send home). Of course the two resided in different camps and haven't met yet.
Now useless to the army Sherlock decides to take up an old hobby of helping out the police and his brother to stave off the boredom. He just needs an assistant/flatmate, but fortunately Mike Stamford knows the right man.

Basically I want to see a BAMF!Sherlock who thrived in the army, more disciplined, more learned in the ways of people, which was necessary if he wanted to progress in the army.
He still doesn't see any other point to social niceties though, maybe he only understands people in military situations, not in the normal world.

How different would the flatmateship of John and Sherlock be?

In the end of S3 Moriarty's return is a fake, completely made up by Mycroft in the last moment to get his baby brother back into a relative safety. After seeing Sherlock tortured, he won't let it happen again.

But that's not all. He knows that Sherlock is hopelessly, selflessly in love with John, so they should be together. Obviously!

Because Sherlock + John = happy, inspired Sherlock, no drugs and everything's the way it should be with the Work and stuff and with John covering his back and healing him when necessary.

Sherlock - John = unhappy Sherlock, who starts craving drugs (and taking them), starts risking his life more than when John is near, etc.

Yes, John has his family now, but Mycroft cares about his family in the first place.

I'd love him to succeed. Happy johnlock (and smug Mycroft), please.

Sherlock and John are trying to get information out of a guy for a case, so Sherlock does the questioning while John secretly observes. Sherlock poses as someone else, using a very mild-mannered persona to get the man talking. The problem starts when the man starts flirting with him and eventually attempting to grope him. Sherlock's reluctant to break character, so he just tries to playfully keep the man at bay. Meanwhile John is barely restraining himself, knowing Sherlock wouldn't want him to reveal himself.

The man somehow gets the drop on Sherlock, pins him or incapacitates him in some way and begins groping him unimpeded. Ragey!John comes to Sherlock's rescue. Established Sherlock/John or pre-Sherlock/John is great too.

So this isnt a very creative prompt, but hey, I cant write for shit so I need to get my johnlock from somewhere. ;)

Anyways, I'd love to see an 18 year old John get really drunk, and then invite 16 year old Sherlock over at like 12am. They have been friends for a while and they both have feelings for eachother. Ok, so John's drunk and they end up kissing for the first time (Sherlock's first kiss ever, unknown to john), and John suddenly decides he wants to have sex. Sherlock, even though he's a virgin, is willing to do whatever John wants. (All the while John has no idea Sherlock's a complete virgin)

+1 if Sherlock's a bottom.
+10 if John realizes what he did the next morning and tries to make up for it since he feels absolutely horrible.
+100 if they have completely consensual sex to make up for it and John is really caring.

Sherlock blames himself for his own rape. John knows.

Sherlock is pants in emotions and relationships. He's never been in relationship before, but when he gets together with John, he's absolutely elevated and John is everything.

But one day he starts noticing some things that make him deduce that John is no longer interested in him and probably wants to leave him (or maybe even has somebody else), but doesn't know how. Every day Sherlock expects John to pack his bags and say good bye. It doesn't happen, so Sherlock thinks John pities him while he's secretly disgusted with him and wants to be free of him. When he can't take it any longer, he breaks down and it's not pretty.

John is, of course, appalled.

Turns out Sherlock has made a mistake, because John loves him and wouldn't even dream of leaving him. Maybe he was just tired or discreet because he was trying to prepare some sort of a surprise for Sherlock, which gave Sherlock a very wrong idea, idk, it can be anything, really.

Sherlock is naturally a very needy and tactile person but after his first and only relationship with someone who used to mock and make fun of him when he wanted some emotional care and affection he feels embarrassed and scared to ask for affection and love. Sherlock and John are in a new relationship and they have amazing sex John is very talented, gentle and affectionate and this awakens Sherlock's desire to be kissed and cuddled. Sherlock starts becoming quiet and subdued because of his internal battle of wanting to ask John for what he needs and being terrified that John will think he's pathetic and leave him if he does.

John notices and thinks Sherlock is having second thoughts about their relationship and then decides to ask if Sherlock wants to end things, which leads to Sherlock breaking down and telling John how that's the last thing he wants. John gets Sherlock to explain and tells Sherlock to trust him and to next time tell him when something's wrong. John then proceeds to cuddle and kiss the hell out of Sherlock.

Basically I would love some angst, hurt/comfort, Fluff and loads delicious-lovemaking smut... *Shyface*

+1 For love confessions

John and Sherlock were each others first everything. First kiss, first time, first love, Basically everything. John lived and grew up with Sherlock's family since his were unable to look after him due to addiction and various other issues. Things are going great between Sherlock and John, everybody loves them together but some of them believe John to be too good for Sherlock which is a fear Sherlock has also.

Sherlock starts to get freaked out by how much he loves John and decided to get high for the first time with Victor Trevor (John hates Victor Trevor, because he thinks he's a bad influence) Sherlock tries to hide his and Victor's bad habit from John which back-fires big time as it leads John and everybody to think Sherlock's been cheating on John (he hasn't been) but he doesn't get the chance to explain. John breaks-up with Sherlock. Sherlock is devastated and turns up to John's birthday party thrown by Lestrade or Mycroft at the Holmes house. Sherlock proceeds to embarrass John who soon realises not only is Sherlock high but also has Victor with him.

John moves out of the Holmes family home to go to another country for university or Joins the army for a fresh start. While John is gone Sherlock becomes a full on addict and Mycroft basically tells him if he wants to be deserving of John he needs to get his act together. Sherlock eventually gets clean and just waits years for John to come back. When John comes back for Mycroft's wedding or something, Sherlock is determined to get him back.

+1 If Mummy and Daddy Holmes are the canon series 3 Characterisations.

+10 If Mycroft and John have a close brotherly relationship and John still keeps in touch with him and all the other Holmes' except Sherlock.

+100 If John evolves into BAMF!John when he comes back who makes it difficult for Sherlock.

+1000 If while away John has become 3 continents Watson while away and Sherlock has remained celibate.

(No Vic-lock! please.)

John loves Sherlock but just because he can cope better than the everybody else with Sherlock's bad moods and harsh tongue, doesn't mean he's immune or doesn't get hurt by it. Sometimes John just need to get away and confide in someone, this someone turns out to be Molly who gets the way you can love Sherlock but be completely torn apart by his harsh ways. Sherlock believes that John is cheating on him but he can't work out who with. When he works out (or thinks he works out) that said person is Molly Hooper he is outraged and proceeds to verbally destroy her publically which leads John to jump in and defend her and tell Sherlock how he wasn't cheating but if he had been no one would of blamed him and that also anyone would be lucky to have Molly. How it ends is completely up to prompt filler they can split up, stay together, John can actually go off with Molly or it can be open ended. Completely your choice.

John and Sherlock enter a friends with benefits arrangement which was Sherlock's idea. John thinks it's going well, he still goes on dates and Sherlock gets to get on with his experiments like he always wants. Except, John doesn't realise Sherlock only proposed the friends with benefits arrangement in the first place because he is desperately in love with John and wanted to be able to be intimate with john and while in bed with him pretend that John was actually in love with him too. Sherlock continues to say nothing even though John going on dates is killing him inside. When John comes home Sherlock immediately jumps on him trying to kiss away the memory of whoever John has just been out with. John is completely oblivious to Sherlock's pain since Sherlock had always been so adamant about hating sentiment. John eventually only finds out when Sherlock accidently slips up and forgets his mask of indifference when their in bed together. John feels guilty and tells Sherlock that if he wants him he'll be just his.

Bonus points if Mycroft knows how his brother feels and tells him he's an idiot not to just tell John how he feels. (Mycroft Ships Johnlock)

Inspired by the above prompt-title "Wrong deduction leads to a nervous breakdown."
Give me a Sherlock who starts to utterly doubt himself when it turns out he got something wrong.
Naturally this can also lead to a nervous breakdown, hence I was inspired by said prompt-title.

Sherlock is the smart one, hence he struggles with it more than Mycroft does (the drugs etc), hence Mycroft worries about him.
Both brothers are perfectly aware that Sherlock's intelligence is superior, Mycroft being the smart one is more of an inside joke between them. After all, they don't really hate each other, Sherlock may not always like Mycroft's meddling, but he appreciates his big brother's concern.
Please just give me caring!Mycroft, maybe a bit of Sherlock whumpage, and brotherly bonding Holmes-style.
OP is not averse to Holmescest if it's the direction your mind takes you.
Thank you!

Sherlock updates his mind palace to Windows Vista. It gets stuck all the time and John has to turn him off and on again.

I can't explain it, but I love sleepy sherlock. vulnerable + cuddly + grouchy + lowered inhibitions? something like that.

no particular story in mind, it could totally just be a wee drabble where John brings him tea in bed or something. or mycroft's goons come to take him to MI6 and he won't get out of bed. or john and sherlock are watching tv and he wants to see the end but can't keep his eyes open. or every time he solves a case he immediately falls asleep in the cab home, and john has to get him up the stairs to bed.

I don't even know. take it wherever you want, I'm not picky.

John using a large set of anal beads on Sherlock. But then, he shoves them in with only the string hanging out, gets Sherlock to calm down and put on his clothes. Then they go by their day. To a crime scene. To the station. Then when Sherlock thinks John will finally take him home to take them out of him, John suggests to have dinner out. It's highly uncomfortable and John makes it so.

Sherlock then goes to the bathroom to relief himself but he's too hard to pee and John comes in to help him but doesn't take the beads out. To everyone else who sees Sherlock, they think Sherlock's a bit sick or something and they think John is so sweet taking care of Sherlock so carefully.

Sure John isn't gay, but if he was he would totally be the top. would't he?

Hello! I'm a sucker for BAMF fics and I'd probably read all of the list (especially the ones that feature John and Lestrade) so I want to read more but maybe with a little twist . I'd like to see Mrs. Hudson going BAMFy this time in her own "not-your-housekeeper" little way, that behind the "old landlady in a purple dress" is a strong woman in her own rights and everyone's just taken aback- from the Yarders to Sherlock and John themselves (oh and Mycroft too, that'll be a lovely bonus!) Extra points if you'll add a scene when Sherlock asks her why didn't she fought back if she can do it herself (in SiB) and she'll straightforwardly reply "I knew you'd come. Besides, I know you love a little action". Thanks!

I think we lack hurt!Jim prompts and I dare you to write a fuck or die story that puts John in a position were he has to rape Moriarty to safe Sherlock. Bonus points: In the beginning, Jim tries to keep his mask on, but when it gets serious, he panics. John finds it way harder to go through with it once he realises that Jim is more than just a villain.

I would love something where some event (can be past or present, even going back to when John was in Afghanistan) leaves JOhn missing his legs or paralyzed and Sherlock takes care of him.

Bonus Points for:
1- Sherlock helping John with everyday tasks, like bathing and dressing
2-John being very insecure about his disabilities but Sherlock always there for him
3- people saying that he shouldn't come help on cases, since he is just an inconvenience for everyone, but he manages to save the day

Mycroft has long had 221B under secret video surveillance – including the bedrooms. Sometime post-HLV, John and Sherlock finally get together, and Mycroft watches them have sex for the first time over a live video feed (virgin!bottom!Sherlock, please!).

I'd prefer it if anon avoided portaying the situation in an overtly Holmescest-y manner. If Mycroft "gets off" on some level, it's not out of sexual desire for Sherlock, but because it moves him deeply to see his little brother being loved and cherished. And yeah, secretly watching your brother having sex is definitely not a normative thing to do by any standard, but I want the emphasis to be on how much Mycroft cares for Sherlock, and wants to ensure that he's happy and isn't being used, even though he goes about it in a creepy kind of way.

Lestrade's secret ultimate kink is pushing Sherlock so far that Sherlock safewords out.

John doesn't know it and he's not very comfortable with how far Sherlock is pushed. Sherlock refuses to safeword out even when he starts crying because Sherlock deduced Lestrade's kink and Sherlock's okay with it especially because John is there and John safewords out for the three of them more often than necessary.

Mycroft once turned a blind eye to someone being sexually abused. Since then, he's felt regretful and fearful that Sherlock will experience the same abuse.

Mycroft finds out John's started a relationship with Sherlock and he goes out of his way to make sure John knows he's keeping an eye on John. It's kinda cute protective!Mycroft if you can get over the oh, that's actually creepy.

Sherlock has a journal that he carries around. John's never actually SEEN Sherlock write in it. The most he's ever seen is Sherlock flipping through it when he's bored.

Sherlock is very protective of it and never shows anyone what's inside. He doesn't go out of his way to hide it, he just closes it when someone gets too close. One day, John picks it up and opens it and finds that it's a journal filled with Sherlock's handwriting. It's very distressing and although from what he's read, Sherlock hasn't explicitly said he's suicidal but if he had a patient who came in with such a journal, John wouldn't let the patient go home without being evaluated. ........ go on.

Lestrade or someone gives Sherlock a case so interesting, it racks up OVER 9000 interesting/unique points. Sherlock is stunned speechless and brain frozen during his calculation of exactly how interesting this case is.

Sherlock had dealt with bullying and abuse his entire life. Until Mycroft became the British Government that is. Now with immunity that could not be challenged, Sherlock punishes anyone who openly (or even discretely) disrespects him. He does so with his own ~~attack dog~~ soldier, that was gifted to him by Mycroft: John Watson. The two become very close & develop a very subtle language of their own, and thus don't need to talk to communicate. Just a look from Sherlock, and John will pop a cap in your face.

Sherlock starts solving cases for Scotland Yard. However his typical Sherlock-isms cause the Yarders to dislike him. So when Donovan calls him a freak for the first time, it is her last, because John didn't even wait for Sherlock's say-so to kill her. Sherlock just smirks when the Yard tries to arrest them, only to learn that they both have government sanctioned immunity.

Lestrade wants to ban Sherlock from cases, but doesn't. He hates himself for it, but they need him. So the Yard has a newfound ~~fear~~ respect for Sherlock Holmes. The Consulting Detective they can't arrest or get rid of.
