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.

So I have no idea where this idea came from, but whatever. Asexuality is the absence of sexual attraction, right? Which means that libido or arousal don't come into account when calling yourself asexual.

So what would happen if you had an A/B/O 'verse where Sherlock was an asexual omega (or alpha, I suppose, not picky)? So while his body went through heat, he wasn't sexually attracted to anyone. I don't care if you want to make him still find a mate during heats, or if he just takes suppressants. But I would love to see how people react to this, especially Sally, Anderson, Lestrade, John, etc. (Maybe this is how Sherlock comes to be known as 'freak'?)

It would be wonderful if you could find a way for Sherlock to have a healthy, consensual relationship with someone. (Lestrade, John, whatever.)

A teenage Sherlock is in rehab (or a strict boarding school?) for the first time. He ends up absolutely desperate for cigarettes, and one of the older boys takes him up on it - cigarettes for blow jobs. Sherlock gets good at sucking the older boy off, to the point the older boy "loans him out" to friends, but nobody ever cares about whether Sherlock gets off or not.

Sherlock fingering himself for the first time

Sherlock could never remember getting the scar on his breast, in the shape of an arrow. When John sees it, he's able to explain it.

Yeah, yeah... Sherlock is married to his Work and John is not gay. And yet, many people see the potential for something else between them. The two are meant for each other, dammit! Why can't they see it?

So... Mrs Hudson, Sarah, Angelo, Irene (because the beautiful lady ships it, too, and likes a good challenge), maybe Anthea, and other people of your choice (bonus if one of John's army friends is there as well and somebody from NSY) decide to set them up together so they can see that there's more than friendship and the Work between them. Maybe each one of them comes up with an idea of their own and they make sort of a contest on whose idea will work and make Sherlock and John get together as lovers. It becomes a great entertainment for them. They make bets, monitor each other's fails and success as if watching a TV show, and so on.

The result is entirely up to you (though I fail to see John happy about the whole thing if he learns about it. :P).

Sherlock tries to show off for John by deducing who is, and isn't, wearing underpants. At a crime scene. Loud enough for everyone to hear. In detail as to the type of boxers/briefs/panties. John isn't as aroused by this as Sherlock had expected.

I want Jim to get tattoed even though he dislikes needles. The reason: Since Sebastian found out about that weakness of his, he is constantly teasing Jim who now wants to prove that he's totally able to face a situation he's uncomfortable with.
Bonus points for affectionate aftercare and Sebastian sharing some stories about his own tattoos.
(This prompt is stuck in my head since I got my second tat yesterday. I was lying there for three hours and could hear several other customers come and go in the nextdoor room. All of them were quite squirmish and the only thing I could think about was: Jim would totally be one of those guys who look all tough but are super sensitive when getting tatooed.)

Basically, there's an accident or other injury that leaves Sherlock either blind or deaf. Mycroft repeatedly tries to pull him out of the resulting slump, but to no avail. But when Sherlock slips into dangerous habits (anon can do what they like for this) Mycroft decides to intervene by getting him a service dog- a retired police dog named Watson that's been newly trained.

At first, Sherlock objects, but of course eventually the two become inseparable.

Bonus points if Watson obtained some injury during his police dog career that leaves him with a limp and was the cause of his retirement.

Basically what it says on the tin. Lestrade commits suicide, and no one - not even Sherlock - saw it coming. Sherlock searches for answers, unable to figure out why/ how he missed the signs.

Just give me lots of angst.

After being reknowned as a mathematician, Violet Holmes could not cope with the "failure" of infertility. As a result, she becomes neglectful towards her son Mycroft.

Mycroft cleans the house, cooks the meals, pays the bills, takes care of his mother, etc. He starts displaying the signs of having obsessive compulsive disorder, but no one is paying attention to him, so no one notices.

When Violet becomes pregnant with Sherlock, she calls it a "miracle." She realizes the effects of her lack of parenting. Out of guilt she puts up with Mycroft's disrespectful and controlling attitude.

Sherlock is unaware of his mother's prior treatment of his brother, so he has no qualms about teasing Mycroft about his compulsions.

One day he pushes his brother too far.

Every time Sherlock finds a partner (for romance or just for sex), Mycroft comes along and seduces them so he can talk them into spying on Sherlock for him. Every damn time. And every partner goes along with it, because Mycroft can do all the flashy deducing things Sherlock can, PLUS he's actually got tact.

But then Mycroft gets older, and starts going bald, and gains some weight, and (he thinks) Sherlock starts dating John Watson. And no matter how much Mycroft flirts, John always turns him down. Sherlock thinks it's hilarious and teases Mycroft mercilessly. Mycroft doesn't realize it's because John really is straight - he and Sherlock aren't dating.

(Mycroft says: carpe diem. You just go right on and do that, dude - let me know how that works for ya. John's still going to shut you down.)

Because Mrs. Hudson, for whatever reason, is at a crime scene. A murder scene, no less. (inspired by a oneshot I read)
Maybe she was there when it happened. Maybe it's a friend who lived nearby. Maybe it's something sort of crack, like delivering Sherlock lunch(NOT his housekeeper or mother!) because he forgot and John's worried too. It's up to you.

Sherlock doesn't like the idea of dear Mrs. Hudson seeing bodies, despite keeping thumbs and heads in the fridge. It's *different* when it's someone who's just been murdered in cold blood, lying there in the street, quite a disturbing mess. And while he may not be quite sure why, some sort of emotion(he'd call it empathy or concern if he weren't a "high-functioning sociopath") makes the idea of his landlady having nightmares from this sort of thing very very not good.

You can turn this whole thing around if you want. Maybe it's nothing she hasn't seen before. You might go with the obvious Concerned!Sherlock and 221b fluff. I'm just proud of you if you take on this promt, dear writer.
Go forth and be inspired!

(Oh, and bonus points if characters like John, Lestrade, or other members of the police force get some actual speaking roles, but it's not necessary if you only want to focus on Sherlock and Mrs. Hudson)

Sherlock, John, Mycroft, Mary, Jim, whomever you would like are panelists on Mock the Week.

I would like Frankie and Russell as team captains, perhaps Mycroft decides to join Dara as host?

I just want a fic in where Sebastian Moran and James Moriarty are both huge nerds. HUGE NERDS. Doesn't matter what fandoms, or anything. Preferably multiple. Both of them don't show it but it someone mades an offhand comment about something or the other disagrees. They try to pass it off as nothing and it ends up with fighting, screaming, designing machinery, calculations, or just a really, really deep research of the source material.

Doesn't matter.

Just very, very nerdy mormor.

Bonus points if Omega! Seb.

(Reprompt from part 22)

John's army friends come to 221b for a visit. They won't be staying long in London, so they decide to spend as much time with their beloved doctor as they possibly can, even if they have to tag along Sherlock and John to crime scenes.

Bonus:
- they are actually helpful to Sherlock and manage to give a lot of contributions in solving the case.
- they show how BAMF they are when they have to catch the criminal.
- they are very protective of John (because John had saved their lives before) and give the 'if you hurt John we will kill you' speech to Sherlock.

Sherlock has OCD. John has never noticed it before because it hasn't manifested into something glaringly obvious. It's just that Sherlock has channeled his compulsions into something that benefits him greatly. To everyone else,it looks like Sherlock is meticulous and ten steps ahead. Nope. It's just his compulsions actually benefit him.

An example is: I wouldn't say that I suffer from OCD but I've noticed recently that since forever ago, I always leave the house the hour. This means I'm either always early (usually the case) or sometimes late. This also means that I always find parking even if the destination is notorious for being impossible to get one (also, I don't even have to parallel park, I always find a good parking spot). This drives all my friends nuts and we've questioned the Magic of this for years and I've recently concluded that it's correlated to my habit of leaving the house on the hour. The time it takes me to get to places by car matches to the time when people happen to leave, hence my supernatural gift of getting parking right outside where I want to be.

(reprompt from part 22)

In The Great Game, Sherlock does the fake-cry in order to gain information. A few months after that, in order to solve a case, John tries to be helpful by pretending to be upset and starts crying so to get a reaction from the witness/suspect/etc. He actually thinks he's not doing a convincing job of it (he knows he's not a good actor) but what John doesn't expect is that his (fake)crying seems so genuine that Sherlock and Lestrade (and whoever else present) think John is crying for real.

Cue everyone tries to comfort him and John being confused. Sherlock being protective (because he thinks someone has hurt John) is a bonus.

Post-Reichenbach but pre-S3.

Several months after The Fall, John goes to see Mycroft for whatever reason. Either he was feeling angry and wanted to yell at someone, or maybe he was being particularly reckless and Mycroft had him brought to his office to talk. Either way, it's the first time since Sherlock's 'death' that they've come face to face.

John is still resentful and largely blames Mycroft for Sherlock's death, and he speaks to him with scorn.

As John is about to walk out, he sees a glimmer through the window, and tackles Mycroft just as the window shatters and a bullet pierces Mycroft's chair.

He ushers Mycroft out of the room, keeping his head down, and calls for help but then one of Mycroft's people turns to them and pulls out a gun. John manages to get them away with minimal damage, but now John has to get them someplace safe. BAMF John ensues.

It's not the first time that Mycroft's life has been targeted, but it is the first time that he has been so unprepared for it. He can't contact any of his people because he doesn't know who to trust, so his usual safe houses are out of the question.

If/when they get to a temporary safe place, John patches up a cut that Mycroft sustained somewhere, but Mycroft is really rattled and upset and snaps at John. John doesn't have patience for it and snaps back. Basically a prickly relationship.

Over the next few days, they continue moving locations and come to depend more on each other. And at some point they bang. Explicit scenes are optional. (Though encouraged)

Eventually, they manage to resolve the situation, (Maybe Mycroft has an old and powerful friend who can be trusted, idk up to you) and life resumes as normal except for this thing between John and Mycroft. You can take it where you want.

+ If there is rimming & anal
+ If John has a beard/stubble while rimming
+ If after the whole assassination thing is resolved, and John and Mycroft are in a relationshippy thing, Mycroft accidentally alludes that Sherlock is alive and drama ensues.

I'm sorry if there's some really specific things in this prompt, but I would be so happy if anyone took any time at all to write it. This is one of my 'super specific fics with a fairly obscure pairing that I feel should exist already' things, haha.

Possible Supernatural Crossover (not fussed)

Sherlock and Mycroft as the angels Kabniel and Ashriel respectively, two of the angels invoked to cure stupidity. (Ashriel also has the task of separating souls from bodies in the moment of death).

Sherlock 'knowing Ash' is a reference to him knowing Ashriel (however if you go with the Supernatural crossover version, is him knowing Ash, the computer guy who managed to hack Heaven).

When Sherlock says he might be on the side of the angels but he's not one of them, he's lying through his pretty teeth. (Or, he's using the distinction of 'I'm a fallen angel, I don't count')

I am so not fussed on anything. I just really want Sherlock and Mycroft being Angels invoked to cure stupidity.

Hi! I'm trying to read add much Sherlock/Molly stories as i can find.

I'd like to read a story where Sherlock dismisses his feelings for molly or her feelings for him and Molly finds out or overhears and she withdraws from him cause she's hurt and he realizes this and finds that despite what he said he DOESN'T want Molly to change or whatever or that he loves her. Something like that. Bonus if his mind palace is involved. Thanks!

Every once in a while when Sherlock's bored, John starts asking him about hidden talents/skills. Sherlock always claims the most outrageous things ("Oh, I went undercover as a lion tamer, nothing to it really!" or "Yes, I spent a month posing as a masseuse in a nudist resort" or "I actually did an extensive study of septic tank cleaners' daily routines") and John can never tell when he's bluffing. So eventually he dares Sherlock to prove it.

Could be smut (lots of wonderful things Sherlock could be an expert in!) or just generally crack, whether or not John catches Sherlock in a lie :-)

The reason Mycroft is so keen to have Sherlock deal with Irene Adler, rather than using any of his usual agents, is because Irene has compromising pictures of him (maybe he went to see her once?) and he knows Sherlock won't want to even see them, much less use them for blackmail.

Of course, Irene picks up on it, and she's only willing to hand the pictures of Mycroft over if Sherlock looks at them one by one. In detail. While she describes exactly what was happening at the time. She's trying to gross Sherlock out or make him respect his brother less, but her plan backfires - Sherlock is mostly just impressed that Mycroft can bend like that, take that kind of torture, etc.

Holmescest isn't really my thing - I'd prefer Sherlock's interest to be academic - but I could see this going either way!

While he's 'dead' Sherlock teams up with Solid Snake.

I want John and Sherlock sexing in dom sub rolls with some hot bondage. Maybe some forced orgasms, if ya'll are feeling generous.

Not sure if there already is a fic like this, but I would love to read a Mr and Mrs Smith-ish Johnlock AU. Not necessarily assassins, just something where they are both married but leading secret ~BAMF lives~ on the side, and each thinks the other is a "normal" person. Maybe to fit the Johnlock bill, they can be secret operatives or spies instead of assassins? (Or even superheroes, I'm just saying). And in their "normal life" role, Sherlock is a scientist, and John's a doctor? And each wishes to protect the other from the side that they think will horrify their partner, but then finally the truth~ comes out and cue them being BAMFs together! I don't know, just throwing it out there!:D
