Prompting Part XXXV

[sherlockbbc_fic]

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

John/Sherlock - Mpreg, Post-Reichenbach

[(Anonymous)]

When Sherlock returns to London after two years, Mycroft neglects to inform him that John has a son... Sherlock's son.

Re: Question for OP.

[(Anonymous)]

Hi OP, did you have a preference of the ending? In terms of happy ending? sad or open ending?

I have a tendency to get accidentally angsty. I don't know, how you'd feel about that?

Sherlock/John feeding

[(Anonymous)]

So Sherlock doesn't eat. Except for one thing. He loves the taste of cum. Eating, to him, means going out to a club and sucking the cocks of strangers, bare, until he's not hungry anymore. John finds out and is of course upset. STD's, semen doesn't have all the nutrients necessary to survive! and all that jazz. So, he goes to Mycroft. Mycroft has apparently been helping by ending his agents out to feed his brother (thus protecting Sherlock from getting something), but it's still dangerous, Sherlock might just get an unclassified cock in his mouth! John's idea is different. Get someone at Baskerville to whip up a potion that will give John's semen all the nutrients necessary and to ramp up his semen production (something like 50 times normal) so he makes enough to feed Sherlock. It's not one big meal a day, but rather Sherlock takes small meals about once an hour or so, so John is continuously sensitive and ready to come nearly as soon as Sherlock starts sucking.

Mycroft does warn that he will be required to be available to Sherlock at all time of the day or night (think of Sherlock tromping into John's room and sucking out his meal then leaving, several times a night, John gets used to it and sleeps naked, barely waking for feeding time). So John is required to give up any thought of a sex life, his semen now belongs in Sherlock's tummy and nowhere else. Mycroft makes him sign something that even takes away his right to masturbate.

Sometime in the story, it would be awesome if Sherlock gets kidnapped and is missing for several days. John gets extremely uncomfortable (maybe starts leaking constantly, but slowly?) but doesn't even consider emptying himself. He needs to save it because Sherlock will be hungry.

I would love it if John isn't attracted to Sherlock, this isn't a sex thing, it's a feeding thing. Perhaps, he has a "caring" kink and this satisfies that. Sherlock is asexual.

+ If it makes John's balls really big so he ends up walking a bit differently.
++ If he ends up considering himself as the perfect sexless assistant for Sherlock. Providing him with company, food, a wall to bounce ideas off of, and of course tea. So basically, they're at a case John's there saying "brilliant" to Sherlock. Sherlock races off to the nearest alley to suck from John's cock for some energy before they race off to catch the bad guy.
+++ Sherlock thinks of him as a cow, fondly! but as a cow. So a bit of dehumanization by Sherlock, please. And of course, John doesn't mind. He knows his place. This just makes him even more dispensable.

Thank you! Mycroft says "no brainer" :D

Re: Sherlock/John feeding

This is hands down the dirtiest, weirdest prompt I've ever read and I LOVE YOU FOR IT.

'I SECOND THIS TO THE HIGHEST EXTREME'

If I could fill it, I would but I don't think I could do it the justice it deserves.

WOW!

John is Willy Wonka

[(Anonymous)]

Remember in the original Willy Wonka, when Gene Wilder comes out limping? Then he loses his cane and falls to the ground, only to "miraculously recover"? Well, I think John needs to do that. I really don't care about the circumstances, I just really want John to do that!

Sherlock's past drug abuse comes in handy when they get captured

[(Anonymous)]

Sherlock and John get captured and the bad guys decide to dope Sherlock up to get info from John. Except John doesn't know anything because Sherlock doesn't share enough. At first they are both worried during the anticipation but as soon as they give Sherlock the first hit, Sherlock realises these people have no idea about Sherlock's past: to a normal person, the first hit is enough to give them a trip of a lifetime but to Sherlock, who's abused the same drug in the past, this hit isn't nearly enough.

Sherlock pretends to be high/crashing etc when they use this form to torture him. But really, Sherlock is hardly affected. Till they give what they believe could be a lethal dose, Sherlock has to pretend to be affected like they expect it. Since this dose is higher, Sherlock is actually high but he can still act and he goes through the motions... Seizures and all that. John is absolutely beside himself and begin and pleading for them to allow him to save his friend - which they do when they realise that Sherlock might have died (maybe he's gone still, holding his breath and the captors cannot find his pulse for whatever reason). It's at this stage when john gets close, he realises Sherlock is faking it. John helps along, playing it up.


Mycroft and Greg are furious when it all ends. Sherlock checks into rehab anyway.

Re: Sherlock's past drug abuse comes in handy when they get captured

This is the absolute best adaptation of Adventure of the Dying Detective I've ever seen.
Seconded with love!

Time Travel fixes everything

[(Anonymous)]

Sherlock goes back in time to the day he met John -post S2, post S3, post AU where something horridly traumatic like John's death ect I really don't care- and fixes everything.

Sherlock and Mycroft still hold hands

[(Anonymous)]

Because Sherlock is so much younger, back when Mycroft was a teenager, he always held Sherlock's hand. It's just really natural to them when they walk next to each other to slip hands into the other. It's not sexual at all, but it does make others feel uncomfortable at first.

It's very strange to see them arguing over something trivial or over national security while holding hands.

It also doesn't stop people from wondering what else Mycroft has done to Sherlock consensual or not when Sherlock was younger and they wonder if they still do such things.

But of course, they didn't do anything of the sort. Maybe Mycroft used to kiss Sherlock on the forehead but now, the closest he'd do is pat Sherlock on the head.

Re: Sherlock and Mycroft still hold hands

This sounds adorable.
Seconded with the power of the Force.

Sherlock's skull belonged to the last John Watson

[(Anonymous)]

Sherlock Holmes is immortal. The John Watsons come and go - the little details about their lives differ, but the general personality characteristics stay the same. John Watsons are literally the ONLY ones in the world capable of putting up with Sherlock Holmes. But they keep being killed (by Moriarty?), and Sherlock is desperate to stop the cycle. He LIKES this one, dammit - his current Doctor Watson is cleverer than most, has a delightfully dry sense of humor, and is actually tolerable for long stretches of time. Plus, it's such a bother to arrange a meeting with yet another John Watson . . . much better to figure out why all the previous Johns had such a high mortality rate and address that instead . . .

Re: Sherlock's skull belonged to the last John Watson

[(Anonymous)]

OMGYES.
So... are his Watsons reincarnates?
I want this filled so bad, I was THIIIS close to prompting something very similar.

John/Sherlock, A/B/O Verse. Alphas are rare, John is one. Jealousy.

[(Anonymous)]

Sherlock is an Omega. The whole world is mostly Omegas and Betas. Plenty of yarders (Anderson and Donnovan, too ;) ) are Omegas, people at John's work (his colleagues and patients) are mostly Omegas as well. Sherlock and John have Omega neighbours, etc..

And John... John is an Alpha. Alphas are so rare that some people have never met one in their whole life.

Omegas can't help but flirt with John a bit (or not a bit in some cases), curious about him or actually interested in him as a sexual partner. Sherlock is jealous when it happens though there's absolutely nothing between him and John except friendship. Other Omegas are angry at Sherlock and accuse him of playing hard-to-get while not giving others a chance to have John. And why such an awesome, strong Alpha keeps accompanying 'The Freak'?!

Eventually, due to his hormones, John unknowingly starts weakening the Omega suppresants. People go into heat or something close, dream about his knot, etc. In other words, there's some mess and ruined underwear in John's presence (especially on Sherlock's part, because they share a flat and spend a lot of time together). John, however, is not affected and keeps living his life. He doesn't really understand what the Omega fuss is all about or just dismisses it and keeps dating Beta women (which Sherlock doesn't like either!).

Happy johnlock in the end would be nice (especially if John figures out Sherlock's feelings towards him and starts courting the Omega in question). :)

Please, no non-con attempts or anything of that sort. Persistent flirting and some stalking, however, would be absolutely perfect. ;)

Muscle worship kink.

[(Anonymous)]

John is a body builder/fitness competitor - anything where he displays a high degree of visible muscle mass. He's shorter than Sherlock, but super built. Up to the author how Sherlock meets John! Perhaps Sherlock has to interview John for a case, and John has to demonstrate some feat of strength that is vital to solving the mystery - and Sherlock has a very sexual response? Or perhaps Sherlock intends to pay body builder John to indulge his sthenolagnia... but John's unexpectedly charming and clever personality makes him stick around.

What makes the kink hot for me is the difference in strength between the pair, and the visceral response of the worshiper has (perhaps Sherlock, as such a cerebral person, will have an unexpectedly lusty response to such a base visual stimuli as an extraordinarily fit/muscular man).

This is one of my TOP kinks and I haven't read a single Johnlock fic with it yet. I know I'll be refreshing this page every day in the hopes someone will turn my July into CHRISTMAS! <3

Mycroft's career is in jeopardy because of the phone-hacking scandal

[(Anonymous)]

Not sure if you've read about the phone hacking scandal in the uk (with Rupert Murdoch et al). But given that Mycroft has his hands in ALL aspects of the government, I'd like to see him caught up in this mess (either peripherally or centrally) and see everything he's worked for disappear. How does he come back from this (or does he?).

Abo johnlock - knotting was a painful experience for Sherlock and he avoids it

[(Anonymous)]

John is Sherlock's alpha but due to past unfortunate experiences, Sherlock now avoids them like mad. He might trust and love John but the second he feels that John might knot him, Sherlock panics. It's very distressing to both of them in different ways. John feels he is incapable of being a protective enough alpha for his mate and Sherlock feels terrible for not being able to take his mates knot etc etc

They talk about it often, trying to talk it through, seeing what john could do to make Sherlock safe or whatever and then finally they try it. It takes a few times though, due to Sherlock's anxiety and fear and panic but eventually Sherlock does (in a fit of tears probably). John is there all the way being very supportive.

When finally one day they knot with no crying or angsty dramatics, they get a call from a case they are working on about a criminal and they just NEED TO GET GOING ASAP. Except they just knotted.... Sherlock knows time is of the essence and he bravely tells john they need to force a separation - a physically and mentally painful thing that has lasting effects.

They close the case and everything but wonder if it was worth it - Sherlock's suffered from bleeding, lack of alpha hormones that is transferred during knotting to stabilise omegas emotions and hormone control etc, and once again, he fears knotting which really is a toll on the both of them as they worked so hard to overcome it. All and anything else!

John/Sherlock - remote control vibrators in public

[(Anonymous)]

John suits Sherlock up with a vibrating butt plug that sometimes hits Sherlock's prostrate gently and sometimes viciously depending on the speed and the pattern of vibration John chooses to play with.

Sherlock isn't caged or anything, but he's trying to keep himself from orgasming because he knows just because he reaches orgasm, doesn't mean John will turn off the vibrator and the overstimulation will be painful as fuck.

Doing absolutely ordinary things - in a cab/train/bus, attending a public event, having dinner with a group of people, then going grocery shopping.

Sherlock can't hold it in anymore and orgasm in public. He just has to try to plough through the ongoing stimulation.

I want a trembling Sherlock trying to look fine. Sherlock bursts into tears while on the way home.

Bonus for if John gets distracted in conversation with an important person and forgets momentarily to slow down the vibrator/give Sherlock a breathing break. And Sherlock has to excuse himself to the bathroom and ride out the waves.

Sweet Jesus is this hot!

Sherlock refraining from masturbation and his balls swell

[(Anonymous)]

John once went down on Sherlock and sucked him off. But he said "this is mine" or something similar and Sherlock took it as John saying Sherlock is not allowed to orgasm unless John is there to make it happen.

Then John leaves for a few days - a week for some conference or whatever reason John and Sherlock can't be together.

And Sherlock doesn't masturbate at all even if he wants to release tension. It all builds up and his testicles swell. Sherlock is horny and its started to ache!!! When John comes home, Sherlock is all tense and tender and John is slightly confused but amused. Of course, he brings Sherlock pleasure and forces multiple orgasms out of him until Sherlock's almost positive he can't possibly release any more for the next month. Then of course, John fucks Sherlock into having more dry orgasms.

Re: Sherlock refraining from masturbation and his balls swell

[(Anonymous)]

so hot!

[(Anonymous)]

Sherlock is a young teen (Anywhere from 12-17) and he wants John who is his teacher/professor/some type of instructor. Whether he actually wants John for sex or is too young to really wrap his mind around sex but wants him to be there as "more than a friend" and for romance is up to author.

However, John is a responsible adult and has strong morals. He respects that Sherlock wants to be treated as an adult and is always delightfully astonished by Sherlock despite how infuriating he can also be.

But that's it.

They can be friends, they can be best friends, John can look at himself as being able to be with Sherlock later on and maybe he does in fact feel some type of attraction to Sherlock or to his personality but he doesn't act on it. He knows being with a student is against the rules of the school but also he doesn't want to harm someone as young and inexperienced as Sherlock. Sherlock himself doesn't understand and continues to try and convince him he is grown up enough to be with him.

I was thinking a younger John who excelled earlier in life and snagged a teaching position of some sort before he hit 30 or around that age .

Bonus 1- Young!Sherlock tries acting all seductive (and fails??) by taking tips from older boys and girls, by looking up in magazines, the internet etc. Think really cliche and very forward seduction like sprawling on the desk with skimpy clothing while sucking on a loli. John is wondering if he should take Sherlock to a therapist himself.

Bonus 2- John does report these incidents to the correct office at the uni/school/wherever but because of greedy and mishandling(their really popular now because of the young genius and his family) people it doesn't get any attention despite how very forward Sherlock is being. This SHOULD be reported to Mummy or Mycroft or Daddy Holmes but nope. John doesn't realize, of course.

Bonus 3- Someone else does end up taking advantage of Sherlock. John ends up taking the blame (+5 If Sherlock doesn't speak up partially because he thinks Mycroft and Mummy will deduce what really happen and to make John squirm for rejecting him...and he really is hurt by all thats happening but its partially the other stuff too).

Bonus 4- They end up meeting when their both older. John is STILL vaguely traumatized and uncomfortable being near Sherlock alone and it sorta shows a bit. He doesn't blame Sherlock but he doesn't want to deal with being called a pedo again.

LAST one- John ends quitting and enlisting as a doctor and ends up switching over to a soldier because of this. Mycroft can't stop it despite Sherlock's begging.

Sherlock/John - only themselves while drunk

[(Anonymous)]

During the stag night, John really enjoyed how loose and care-free they were together, and although nothing happened, it got pretty intimate. John realizes getting Sherlock drunk and happy leads to some of the best times just being friends (with something more on the wings.) So after marriage, John intentionally gets Sherlock drunk (i.e. putting a few extra shots into his pints like in ToT) and they finally hook up.

This pattern continues -- hooking up/snogging/eventually having sex while drunk and Mary becomes suspicious that John is having an affair, Sherlock eventually gets back on drugs--essentially everything that happened during S3 happens with the backdrop of these "drunk shenanigans". After Sherlock is shot, they finally confront this bizarre "other relationship" they have going on.

tl;dr John and Sherlock have drunken affairs throughout S3 leading to an eventual discussion/revelation of their actual love for one another.

Happy endings please!

Hi!
Could anybody please rec or write me some story where Sherlock's and John's newly blossoming relationship is revealed to another party (the Yard, Mycroft, John's family, Molly,...), either by accident or on purpose? I'd just love to see some reactions!
Also, I would much prefer it if the story didn't start out with an established relationship, but included the friends-to-lovers bit, too.
Thanks!

Power To Change / faith

[(Anonymous)]

When rewatching "His Last Vow" I noticed where John gets out of the car to go into the crackhouse, on the right side of the billboard it says: "Followup to the worldwide best seller how to help yourself "The Power to Change" - P18.95"! I wondered whether this book is referring to the Christian "Power to Change" ministry and campaign that ran at least in Canada. Of course then I thought someone could write a fanfic where Sherlock and/or John remember the book on the billboard, somehow realize the need to change, and eventually somehow wind up putting his/their trust in God and Jesus Christ. I know, whishful thinking on my part, and how could THAT possibly ever believably happen? There are millions of real-life stories of how people came to believe. Job 33:14-30 Why should it not be possible for Sherlock and John? (I know they are fictional characters) Story doesn't have to be series compliant, can be AU. No, or little mention of Moriarty, please, I can't stand his character!! Sherlock/John very welcome (I know not everyone approves of m/m)
Sorry, I don't have a LJ account yet. Hope someone will pick this up. Or let me know if such a story already exists. You can also send me a PM to Wollemia nobilis on ff.net Thanks!!

John/Sherlock, Sherlock Takes Everything At Face Value, Lies Scare Sherlock

[(Anonymous)]

So, I've been reading The Curious Incident of the Dog in Nighttime, and in it, the main character, Christopher, takes everything at face value, and lies scare him because they're made-up and he doesn't understand made-up things because they simply aren't true.

Can I have something with this for Sherlock?

After all, Sherlock is incredibly literal. And John tells him a little white lie in order to go out on a date with a woman he's been neglecting for Sherlock. Only Sherlock catches him in it. And it scares Sherlock, because he's burdened by thoughts of what-ifs and why and if John is hurt... and John comes back to the flat and has to deal with the fall-out of an incredibly hysterical/upset Sherlock.

Pre-slash only please, but first time confessions are love <3

Sherlock tries to be with Molly. Inevitable Johnlock affair. Broken!Molly

[(Anonymous)]

Sherlock tries to be with Molly. He knows he doesn't feel that way for her, he's only ever felt anything for John. But, John is with Mary (unhappily though they hide it) and Molly has always made it clear how deeply she cares, so he thought he'd give it a try. However, inevitably Sherlock and John begin an affair, they love each other. Molly catches them and is deeply hurt by it. John leaves Mary and finally moves back in with Sherlock and they begin a fully formed relationship. All three (Molly, Sherlock and John)still have to work together (It's awkward and uncomfortable.) Molly hurts every time she see's them together. Molly doesn't get over it. John and Sherlock stay together, happily in love but they do feel guilty when they see her.

Please feel free to mention similar fics. :)

please as much pain and angst as possible.

+1000 for alternating POV's between Sherlock, John and Molly.

Sherlock and John make a ruckus to annoy Mycroft

[(Anonymous)]

Sherlock keeps trying to bug Mycroft about something, but Mycroft won't talk to him. So Sherlock drags John to the Diogenes Club and starts on a campaign of silent (but extremely expressive) PDA, in keeping with their new not-just-flatmates-anymore status. Like, an all-out makeout session in front of the fire and all the other club's members. Eventually Mycroft gives in and is willing to talk, to keep Sherlock from embarrassing him further.

Fill (1/2)

[(Anonymous)]

John didn’t know how on earth Sherlock had talked him into this. Well, yeah, he did, but actually walking up the steps to the Diogenes Club made him have a slight change of heart.

“Sherlock, are you sure this is—“

Sherlock shut him up by putting a finger against his lips.

“You’re a truly terrible person,” John said when Sherlock removed his finger.

Sherlock just winked at him and opened the door to the club.

“You owe me,” John muttered under his breath as a footman came towards them to get their coats and jackets. The footman gave John a curious look, but since Sherlock was a member they were both shown into the club without any hassle.

They got a table by one of the large windows, and by some posh version of some gang gestures Sherlock managed to have a tea trolley brought to them. John felt his earlobes heating red already. This was a bad idea.

Such a bad idea.

“Are you even sure he’s here?” John whispered.

Sherlock hushed him soundlessly. John rolled his eyes, hoping very much that the point came across that he wasn’t really feeling in the mood right now. It probably was, because something sparked in Sherlock’s eyes like if he had just got another challenge.

Sherlock served them both tea in those ridiculously small cups John had never liked (he liked big mugs for his tea, buckets almost) and picked out some finger sandwiches for them. He sat down again, biting the small cucumber sandwich in half. He licked his mouth to get some crumbs off his lips, eyes locked with John’s. When he put the other half in his mouth he let his lips close around his finger and he pulled it out… slowly.

John shook his head, smiling, and shifted slightly in his seat. This was absurd. Sherlock was trying to seduce him over the poshest afternoon tea outside of the Palace… and it was working. That probably was the most absurd part.

It was definitely the most absurd part.

Oh, to Hell with it.

John took a sandwich of his own, took a bite and then he leaned forward in his chair, feeding it to Sherlock. For a moment Sherlock lost his seductive mannerism, smirking victorious. John almost rolled his eyes, but he got interrupted by Sherlock licking his finger as he took the sandwich in his mouth. John shifted slightly in his chair again.

John didn’t quite understand why he found it so incredibly hot to see Sherlock eat small sandwiches and lick his finger in silence. Actually, it probably was the silence part. Or the licking of the fingers part. Goddamnit, he wondered if he could have him do this at home where it could end with something other than a snog and potential frottage.

No. No, it would not end there. He was not going to come in his pants like a teenager. Snogging. That was it, they had sat the rule when he had agreed on this. When they got home though… John shook his head to get the images out of his head. This whole thing was to bother Mycroft, not him.

Ah, and there it was.

Mycroft.

If he just kept that in mind, this wouldn’t be a problem at all.

John leaned forward again, putting his hand on Sherlock’s thigh and stroking him slowly inwards, upwards. Sherlock let his knees fall out as much as the chair’s armrests allowed, but John stopped at the groin. Sherlock wasn’t allowed to come in his pants either.

At least not until the cab ride home.

Maybe.

Some of the patrons around them started to give them rather odd, though very discreet, looks. It egged John on, something he hadn’t expected, and he actually moved his hand just a little further up Sherlock’s inner thigh. Sherlock raised his eyebrows, but John couldn’t quite decipher if it was because of the touch or the revelation that John liked being watched. No matter what reason, he leaned in and kissed John. Closed mouthed, but making it smack far louder than necessary. That clearly wasn’t for John’s sake.
