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
Your mods for this meme are ellie_hell, charname, anonspock and anonbach. If you have any questions, concerns, comments about anything at all on the meme feel free to send a PM or contact us via the Page-A-Mod post.

John / or & Sherlock, Keeping Sherlock from being bored

[(Anonymous)]

If Sherlock is truly, utterly bored, John wrestles him to the ground, puts a lockable buttplug in him and chains it to the wall/ceiling/floor/whatevs, probably needs to be somehwere unreachable. And gives him a lockpicking set, or maybe just a paperclip or a hairpin, or something.
That should keep him busy.
Plus, since he can't go anywhere he can't wreck the flat out of boredom-fueled frustration.

+++ In the meantime John continues to enjoy his paper in peace, doing the crossword or whatever. Not even paying attention to his struggling flatmate really.

Doesn't have to be slash, but can be. Upto filler.

Captcha says it loves me. Only not very nice of it that it's FORCING me to reciprocate.

Threesome solves nothing

[(Anonymous)]

Okay, I'm definitely a Johnlock shipper, but I can definitely imagine a scenario where Mary talks John into a threesome. Can I get a story where an attempted threesome makes John realize that he's in love with Sherlock and can't deal with sharing him? Maybe it gets started and then John and Sherlock are pretty much just shagging each other and ignoring Mary. RTYIs more than welcome.

Re: Threesome solves nothing

[(Anonymous)]

Umm...my own fic, but..."Three" on AO3?

Dom Moran/sub Moriarty

[(Anonymous)]

Possessive dom!Moran/sub!Moriarty. Sebastian makes sure Jim remembers exactly who he belongs to by leaving a vibrating egg inside Jim whenever he goes to meet Sherlock. The intensity of the vibration depends on how well Jim behaves himself.

Magnussen collars Jim and Sebastian

[(Anonymous)]

Magnussen knows that Moriarty is one of Sherlock's pressure points, so he collars him and keeps him on a leash to prove his power to Sherlock.

He also knows that even Jim Moriarty has a pressure point, though; and so he collars Sebastian Moran, too, because he quite enjoys having a matched pair at his heels, and it amuses him to watch how Moran continually (futilely) tries to protect Jim.

Lift shenanigans

[(Anonymous)]

Sherlock Holmes, John Watson, Jim Moriarty and Sebastian Moran get stuck in a lift (elevator) together for a prolonged period of time. Don't care why, don't care how. I just want the four of them having to spend a few hours trapped within a few square feet of each other.

(OP preference would be established relationship Jim/Seb, with bonus points for Jim deciding that the best way to pass the time would be snogging the face off his second-in-command in front of the other two, but other than that... go nuts.)

John discovers Sherlock is gay and gets curious

[zepaholic.livejournal.com]

Sorry guys this is painfully specific but I can't get it out of my mind and I'm a really shit writer.
PROMPT: John finally convinces Sherlock to go to a bar with him. They chat for a bit and drink a few pints but after a while John notices Sherlock keeps checking out a really hot guy across from them and after chatting him up takes him home. John is completely flabbergasted to find Sherlock is not a virgin and that he can take anyone home fitting his flirting technique to the person.
Lots of sexual tension ensue and you can take it from there, but I do quite love long bits of flirting and seduction, not just "well okay I think we should have sex now!" answered by an obbligatory "oh god, yes" by John.
Things I love: experienced with men Sherlock; drunk Sherlock; set before series 3.
I'll love you forever if you do it you have no idea how long this thing's in my mind

Re: John discovers Sherlock is gay and gets curious

[(Anonymous)]

Yes please!

Sebastian has PTSD and only John knows how to deal with it

[(Anonymous)]

Sebastian suffers from PTSD. He's got it in check most of the time, but once, during a confrontation between Sherlock and his boss, something triggers him badly. While Jim and Sherlock don't get the situatian at all, John goes into doctor mode imedietly.

I can't get this out of my head- please make it happen.:D I don't even care if there is any shipping, just go wild with the idea.

John/Sherlock - Consent issues/NonCon, Phone Sex, Dirty Talk, Unestablished Relationship

[(Anonymous)]

Moriarty kidnaps Sherlock and forces him to call John and initiate phone sex with him. No established relationship beforehand. Moriarty is shocked and delighted when John, after a minute of stuttering disbelief, goes along with it. Afterwards, Moriarty lets Sherlock go.

And I mean NON-established. Not even flirting or longing looks.

Bonus for aftermath! Maybe John waits for Sherlock to return so they can talk about what happened... Well, what John believes happened.

Kinky!Sherlock unwilling to fulfill (mostly)Vanilla!John's kink

[(Anonymous)]

Sherlock is the kinky one and while John is basically vanilla, he is willing to help fulfill Sherlock's fantasies most of the time. John finally decides to come out and tell Sherlock what his one single (rather minor but a bit odd) kink is... and Sherlock refuses. There is no negotiation even considered by Sherlock.

Re: Kinky!Sherlock unwilling to fulfill (mostly)Vanilla!John's kink

WANT.

John/Sherlock, John is a man of hidden talents

[sweetteeth22.livejournal.com]

John has a secret BAMFy talent like knife-throwing/parkour/speaking many languages/shooting with a bow/etc. One day he casually reveals it in front of the Yard (ex: murderer is escaping with the Sherlock & police in full pursuit while John just throws a knife, pining the murderer's clothes to the wall). The Yard and Sherlock are super awestruck at the general badassery that is john h. watson, especially Sherlock because HE DIDN'T KNOW. John is his usual humble self and Sherlock finds john's talent SUPER hot. fluffy sexytimes ensue.
+10000 points if someone at the Yard starts flirting with John and Sherlock gets jealous/smug because John is HIS

Re: John/Sherlock, John is a man of hidden talents

[(Anonymous)]

John is strong, and tough, and cool, and skilful, unless some author unfairly deprives him of it. But I'd definitely have more, so...
Seconded! :)

John/Mycroft in a pub (reprompt)

[(Anonymous)]

John is enjoying a night out in a pub with some friends (rugby team, army buddies?) when one of Mycroft's minions appear to summon him to a meeting with the man.

Now, John has perhaps had just enough pints (and wanting to appear as a strong independent man to his buddies who already tease him about following Sherlock everywhere) to be bold enough to wave the minion away explaining that "if himself wants to see me then he is welcome to join me here", not really expecting Mycroft to take up the offer (or challenge, as it were).

To his surprise, Mycoft enters the pub, case-file in hand, and John joins him at the bar. Though John has no intention to discuss the case. No, John decides to unleash the great flirting powers of three-continents-Watson. He has, after all, a reputation to maintain, and well, it's Mycroft. John's been interested in the man long enough, about time he made a move.

I'd like to see Mycroft kind of testing the waters and being more hesitant and letting himself be led by the more experienced and confident John.

Bonus for John successfully ordering Mycroft a brandy without Mycroft realising it.

Extra bonus for Mycroft making a comment about Sherlock and John replying: "Sherlock and I are friends, nothing more! I'd have thought you of all people would have known that." (or something along those lines)

TL;DR: Mycroft joins John at a pub and instead of discussing a case John starts to flirt with him.

Fake dating

[(Anonymous)]

Both are repromps for much older parts
Prompt one: Mycroft has it bad for Lestrade, he knows Sherlock's got it bad for John, but Lestrade seems oblivious and Sherlock isn't making any effort to actually say something to John. So Mycroft decides that he and John should make it seem they're getting into a relationship so the other two will get jealous and make a move.

Lestrade and Sherlock, for whatever reason, don't step up. Mycroft has to escalate his plan, make it seem more serious or whatever.

Only problem - Mycroft hasn't exactly made it clear to John that this is a 'plan'. Either John thinks Mycroft's serious or maybe thinks he can't refuse 'the sometime British government' or something.

Link:http://sherlockbbc-fic.livejournal.com/9640.html?thread=48206760#t48206760

Prompt two: John is pinning for Mycroft.Lestrade is pinning for Sherlock. Both Holmes are oblivious,so John and Greg pretend to date to get their attention.

Link:http://sherlockbbc-fic.livejournal.com/21231.html?thread=123543279#t123543279

RTYI's for both prompts are welcomed =)

Trope Inversion

[(Anonymous)]

Sherlock and John fake date for a case. They have lots of fluffy fun shenanigans but when the case is over they're still bffs, not lovers, and neither of them has any interest in it being otherwise.

Re: Trope Inversion

[(Anonymous)]

Ooh, yes please!

Sherlock angst

[(Anonymous)]

Retirementlock where Sherlock and John have been happy together for many years. Then John dies and Sherlock finally realises what he put John through during the hiatus. He delivers the "I owe you a thousand apologies" speech to John's grave.

Could be porn, crack or gen friendship

[(Anonymous)]

John comes to Lestrade begging for cases to occupy a bored Sherlock. Lestrade says he'll hand some over if John does something for him first ;)

BAMF Sally

[(Anonymous)]

Sally thinks there's more to the shooting of Sherlock than the police have been told. When the case is closed with the shooter still unidentified she decides to continue the investigation herself with her usual determination to follow the evidence where ever it leads.

+1 if she drags Molly into helping her out with any forensics

Re: BAMF Sally

[(Anonymous)]

I love BAMF Sally! Rock on!

Mary knows

[(Anonymous)]

Given Mary's background, it seems completely plausible that she'd see the BAMF!John hiding under the fuzzy jumpers and mild smile. And that she'd find it terribly hot, but would be frustrated she can't goad him into BAMF-ness without giving away her own secret (because John is so desperately trying to convince himself that he's just a boring, ordinary bloke who isn't still grieving his mad flatmate, and a nice ordinary woman like Mary has to pretend to be wouldn't notice the difference.)

Then Sherlock comes back, and it provides the perfect opportunity - Mary starts urging John to go with Sherlock on cases in the hopes he'll accidentally slip up and let his BAMF skills show and she can "discover" this other side of him. Except John keeps pretending to be ordinary when he's around her, and she's got to be careful in case Sherlock catches on to her deception. Sherlock is dangerous - someone that observant suddenly being that close to her new life - but it's the only shot she has at getting John to admit he's secretly a BAMF-type guy so she takes the risk.

Where this goes is up to you - I could see it as casefic, or Sherlock discovering what's been going on, or just John finally doing something badass around Mary and Mary finally having an excuse to show him how much that turns her on. Or maybe Sherlock is reminded of John's BAMF qualities and wants him for himself . . .

Sherlock/John, Plugged up

[(Anonymous)]

I have a reallllly big thing for butt plugs (*blushes*), so can i please have either sherlock or john (OR BOTH!!! *o*) wear a plug for some time while doing regular everyday things because they like keeping a bit of each other in themselves? It can be fluffy or angsty or just plain porny, i don't care, i just want me some butt plug sex!! thanks for indulging in my kink :3

Platonic Hurt/Comfort Johnlock

[(Anonymous)]

I never make prompts, but I'm currently waiting on some very scary test results from my doctor and am desperately in need of a warm fuzzy distraction.

Could someone write me some nice, fluffy protective!John cuddling the hell out of a terrified Sherlock? Would prefer strong friendship or platonic, but won't say no to whatever catches your muse!

Re: Platonic Hurt/Comfort Johnlock

[(Anonymous)]

Yes please!

Sherlock/John or Gen - Avatar: The Last Airbender AU (!not the movie!)

[(Anonymous)]

At 16, it is revealed to Sherlock that he is the Avatar... He's not overly shocked, nor thrilled about it, though seeing Mycroft's jealousy almost makes up for it. Hailing from the Northern Water Tribe and havng already mastered water, he's sent abroad to train as custom dictates.

His first two masters are concerned over the fact that their new Avatar seems to be a complete sociopath. Also, he's disdainful in the extreme about their abilities and acts superior, and seems not at all concerned with ethics. John is warned of this before Sherlock comes to Ba Sing Se to master his final element: earth.

John is the Earthbending master. Who the others are is really no big deal to me.

Bonus Points: Any historical Avatar persons or history showing up would be amazing!/ Moriarty is a Firebender, perhaps a rival of Sherlock's!/ Lestrade works as a Detective in Ba Sing Se and is constantly getting into beefs with Dai Li agents (scary shit)./ Journey's into the Spirit World!!!!/Magnussen being the ruler of the Northern Water Tribe.

Re: Sherlock/John or Gen - Avatar: The Last Airbender AU (!not the movie!)

[(Anonymous)]

Would he be the first male water-tribe avatar after Korra, or is this before Sozin used the comet to declare the Hundred Year War?

Also, after water, he would have to master earth, so he'd have to go to John first (remember that Aang had to do Air-Water-Earth-Fire?), and then master Fire, and work on Air last. They have to go in a certain order, following what Katara and later Tenzin say in the openings. Sorry about being pedantic, but I'm just a stickler for rules.

And yeah, the only thing I remember about the movie is Fire Nation Naval Correspondent Aasif Mandvi.

John/Sherlock (?) Omegaverse. Alpha!John, Omega!Sherlock. Sherlock's hormones get better of him.

[(Anonymous)]

They are just friends and partners, because Sherlock is married to his work and John prefers Beta ladies or Omega ladies, and so on...

Sherlock is on suppressants, but his hormones still do bad things to him during certain days. He becomes particularly unbearable and jealous. John and his ladies get the worst of it. Also, during those days Sherlock wants John to be next to him all the time (ironically, Sherlock becomes less than favourable company even for John). He invents every possible reason why John can't go to work, shopping or anywhere else at all. He pretends to be ill just to make John stay with him. He even bursts into tears. He's so unbearable and possessive that he even tries to follow John to the bathroom to make sure John won't try to leave, or waits for him just near the door and wants John to talk to him the whole time he's in the bathroom. He also checks John's mobile and e-mail and gets all worked up and nervous if there are messages from somebody who wants "to take John away" (and sometimes he deletes some phone numbers from the memory of John's mobile. John is not amused, of course).

In other words, there's a lot of facepalming and exasperated sighing on John's part.

Every time Sherlock's mood goes back to normal afterwards, he's mortified and embarrassed of himself (he does have feelings for John, but maybe he doesn't consciously want to act on them).

Maybe one day Sherlock throws an epic tantrum in a crime scene when he sees some lady looking at John. It's really loud and hysterical.

On the other occasion, he threatens to take John's gun and shoot all of his girlfriends (or/and himself) (he doesn't necessarily mean it, but he can feel like it, and, well... he's a drama queen, as John has already admitted).

John has long had enough of Sherlock's behaviour, so he knows he has to do something. Maybe he even threatens Sherlock with moving out, which, of course, only makes Sherlock terrified and even more clingy.

I'm okay with any kind of ending. Maybe John just learns to put up with Sherlock's hormone-induced moods, or helps him with the individually customised hormone therapy. Or maybe they get together, bond and things get more tolerable. :) All of above is even better!

John/Sherlock - NonCon, Just the Tip, Angst, possible infidelity

[(Anonymous)]

John and Sherlock get totally pissed one night and end up playing truth or dare. The drunker they get, the more wild the dares become until Sherlock dares John to play "just the tip" with Sherlock on top. Sherlock was mostly joking, so he's surprised when John has a short think about it then nods amiably.

The problem, aside from their drunkenness, is that when Sherlock gets inside he can't stop. Regardless of the fact that John wants him to. He ends up raping John and they have to deal with the fallout in the morning... while terribly hungover, as well.

Will love you forever if this happens on John's stag night.

Re: John/Sherlock - NonCon, Just the Tip, Angst, possible infidelity

god yes!

John/Sherlock. Different First Encounter. John finds a battlefield in London and saves Sherlock.

[(Anonymous)]

After Afghanistan John is brooding, because he feels useless and wants a battle and an adventure, which is not possible due to his limp and hurt shoulder.

But one day when he goes for a walk, he finds himself in some seedy side street, where several individuals are beating the crap out of one man. John sees battlefield he craves so much and beats up the offenders, all by himself. Those who fail to run away end up on the ground, unconscious.

John approaches the man he's saved and helps him (maybe takes him home and takes care of his injuries). And this is how John and Sherlock meet.

Sherlock can be on a case when he gets into trouble with those people. But I don't mind if Sherlock is a homeless junkie.

Either way, Sherlock is impressed and wants to be with John.

Sex isn't necessary, I love platonic. :)

Re: John/Sherlock. Different First Encounter. John finds a battlefield in London and saves Sherlock.

I love this idea! Seconded.

Reprompt: Mycroft is raped by one of his guards

[(Anonymous)]

Original prompt: http://sherlockbbc-fic.livejournal.com/20063.html?thread=122217567#t122217567

One of the younger members of Mycroft's security team has a serious crush on him and Mycroft knows about this. He also knows it's a bad idea to keep the boy around but he can't be bothered to have him transferred – and perhaps he secretly enjoys the attention.

After a while the young guard gathers courage to declare his love and is politely refused but, knowing he will now be removed from Mycroft's service, he knocks him out and takes Mycroft by force, determined to have him at least once before they are parted. And, of course, as a trained security operative he knows exactly how to evade detection and how to overpower an unwilling partner…

NOTE: I'd prefer if Mycroft was eventually released by his attacker rather than rescued.

Alternatively, you could replace OMC with Moriarty (infiltrating Mycroft's team under a false identity) or with Sebastian Moran (before his 'honourable discharge' from service).

reprompt Omega!verse, Omega!Mycroft. Mystrade

[(Anonymous)]

Mycroft is a control freak, he likes to control things, including people's perception of him. He has been obsessively maintaining his image, the cool, calm, impenetrable governemnt official that everyone fears.

That's excactly how Lestrqde saw him as, though instead of fearing him, Lestrade has been pining after him like a teenage boy. He always wanted to break the calm and see the man trembling, and begging beneath his body.

Then Mycroft goes into heat, out of the blue, while, perhaps, having 'small chat' with Lestrade. Mycroft freaks out and tries to conceal the fact he's in heat. But it's futile, of course.

Thankfully, Lestrade is a beta, so he's not 'chemically' affected by Mycroft's heat, but the sight of the man coming undone, desperately and shamelessly begging him to fuck him is enough to drive him crazy too.

Even though Mycroft is in heat, he's fully aware of his surroundings, and what he's exactly doing right now and he's extremely ashamed of himself for giving up his control so easily now.

Lestrade fucks Mycroft, of course, but not without teasing and humiliating him a little, because since he's a beta, he isn't yet completely taken over by his urges, so he fucks him inch by agonizing inch, ignoring whimpering, begging Mycroft, until Mycroft finally admits, yes, he's indeed a cock slut, and that Lestrade's cock tastes fucking amazing.
