sherlockbbc_fic | 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.

I love Mycroft and I see him as a loving brother, no matter what he lets others see. But, for once, I want to see him really dark. He's been extremely cruel and abusive towards Sherlock his whole life and managed to keep it secret and threaten Sherlock into silence. Sherlock has had plenty of different injuries and even broken bones, but every time the harm is obvious to others Mycroft makes sure everybody thinks that those are accidents, Sherlock is clumsy and so on. But since Mycroft is frighteningly clever, the emotional abuse is even worse. When Sherlock was a child/young teen he even had a stammer, due to the trauma, and kept wetting his bed even as a teen.

There's no way he can escape and disappear even when he's an adult, even though he starts living separately from the rest of his family. Mycroft always knows where he is and how to find him. He can terrorise him even from a distance. He's a powerful person to boot.

When Sherlock meets John, it's the only relief he's ever had meeting another person, because John is nice and caring. Sherlock is not used to living with anybody since leaving his family home, let alone with somebody who doesn't hurt him.

One day Sherlock breaks into the office of the therapist John visits (less and less often), because he suddenly needs John for something. John's therapist has failed to see that John needs war, not runs away from it, but it takes her minutes to see Sherlock, his body language, the way he talks and so on, to see that he's been severely abused mentally, emotionally and physically for a very long time, even if it's not obvious.

He's not her patient, so she doesn't have to keep it quiet and during her next meeting with John she explains him the situation, because she knows how much Sherlock means to him.

John doesn't really believe it. It's Sherlock, he's unusual. How anybody can tell that something's wrong with him, let alone something this terribly wrong, if he's not like any human being John has ever met? But the more he thinks about it, the more worried he becomes. Maybe Sherlock gets injured during a case and John takes care of him and accidentally sees scars and half-healed bruises and/or cigarette burns.

When John actually gets evidence of how bad things are, he can't let it continue, except Mycroft is not a person you can just stop or get arrested. Too much power and influence. I'd love a situation where John (purposely or not) walks in on Mycroft abusing Sherlock like whoa and kills him.

Please, a lot of comfort, PTSD, healing and Sherlock finally free of the never-ending terror. Only when Mycroft is dead Sherlock can start talking about the pain he's been through, but he knows he'll never be really okay.

+ Family reunion of Sherlock and his parents who somehow learn about everything (maybe John tells them, angry that they did nothing to stop the whole thing, only to learn that they simply didn't know anything). They are terrified that they'd never once suspected anything. They love Sherlock, he's their baby and it's a big shock for them that they failed to see and stop the nightmare.

Make it hurt! </3

Seconding!! I love Mycrofr roo, but this apeals to the side of me that needs a lot of angst.

(BTW: Am someone who loves cannon Mycroft so this really goes against what really like as a rule)

Really hope this gets a good filler, it's kind of the perfect prompt, something that would if done well, no matter how agonising would be bloody brilliant.

I think I'd be scared to read something like this. But damn, I want this badly!!!
