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.

One day John leaves Baker Street 221B. Turns out he's in love with Sherlock, who's married to his Work. So, to spare himself any additional pain, John decided that they shouldn't live together any longer.

Sherlock is very panicked and distraught. He wants his John back. He says that he's in love with John, which is true, but doesn't mention that while the feeling is very strong, it's purely platonic.

They start living together again and become lovers. Sherlock is afraid of having sex, it's not his thing at all, but he still lets it happen, afraid of losing John. And, it's okay, John is very good to him in bed. Sherlock has to pretend that he enjoys it (even though his body doesn't react properly), because he doesn't want John to feel bad.

When John learns that Sherlock has been lying to him, he's really upset, with himself, too, thinking that he had forced Sherlock into having sex and Sherlock agreed just to avoid losing John. While it's partly true, everything was perfectly consensual. Sherlock has to convince John that it's okay, that there's nothing wrong that out of the two of them John is the only one who experiences a real pleasure. For Sherlock it's enough to see John enjoying sex, Sherlock likes seeing his pleasure, it makes him feel content. He also likes their closeness and likes it when they touch/cuddle/kiss.

I'd love John to, eventually, accept it and stop feeling guilty when they have sex. I'd also like to see nervous Sherlock, who's afraid of losing John to somebody else, who's not asexual like himself. But John loves him too much.

It's okay if Sherlock starts enjoying their sex somewhat, as long as it doesn't happen too soon. That would be a pleasant surprise though.

Seconded!
I might have some RTYI if you are interested... the ones I can think of off the top of my head have other issues mixed in...but I would be willing to search my bookmarks as this dynamic is totally my thing and I'd always love some more!

I believe one of the ones you are looking for could be 'as if not spoken to in the act of love' by coloredink

OMG, this is brilliant.

Not quite on the first bit, but here's this favourite of mine;
