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

Re: Dead Like Me/Sherlock, John did die in Afghanistan and is a Reaper

Dead Like Me/Sherlock

Chapter One

John dropped his emergency bag and kneeled by the american, a piece of shrapnel tear the vest apart leaving a bleeding gaping hole in its place. He tried to ignore the gunfire, he could almost feel the bullets whizzing past his head. He tried to stop the bleeding but it was too late. They were in a dire situation, back up was on the way but before they arrive it could all be too late.

Suddenly he felt the burning sand connect to side of his face, he fell flat on his stomach. For a moment he didn't understand why he was lying there, only when he tried to move, the excruciating pain ricocheted from his shoulder through his whole body and he knew.

He was hit by bullet, great. He saw how his own blood was soaking the dessert sand under him, there was nothing he could do about it. He witnessed how his whole platoon got shot, one at the time. He couldn't do anything but stare and witness as his friends were slaughtered. The sun was burning, but nonetheless he felt the cold seep into him. This was it then, John thought as he saw a man running towards him. This is how I die, alone in in the sand.

He saw the man approaching him, he didn't look familiar at all, but it hardly mattered. The stranger dropped his helmet and rifle on the ground and dragged him behind the a water well, so they were more safely covered.

“Hamish? Is your name Hamish?” the stranger looked at him with an inpatient look. John definitely didn't see this man before, he would remember those striking cheekbones.

“Yes.” he said with a lot of effort. Bloody hell, why would someone call him Hamish, he hadn't used that name in ages. Somehow the stranger, ‘Cheekbones’ he nicknamed him automatically, was extremely delighted by this information.

“I’ve been looking for you, for a long time. Finally!” Cheekbones gently tugged the dogtags from under his bleeding attire and looked at it, probably reading his whole name.
“John” he looked into his eyes, but he had difficulties staring back in those eyes, he felt his life slowly dripping out of him.

“John Hamish Watson, I am going to save you.” he heard Cheekbones say determined, but he couldn't make out the meaning the individual words, it was too late, the darkness swallowed him whole.
