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.

“Sherlock!” John cried (squeaked) as he was pulled haphazardly into Sherlock's lap. He sprawled sideways on the chair, and Sherlock huddled over him almost protectively.

“Why do you continue to be so unpredictable?” Sherlock breathed, curtain of curls hiding his face.

“Unpredictable?” John muttered, pointedly squirming as Sherlock's hold on him tightened. “I'd say you're the unpredictable one.”

“'Normal people' wouldn't want to touch someone who's filthy. They would've been disgusted, they would've left. But you're not like that. You're unpredictable.”

“Filthy? Sherlock, you are not filthy.” John insisted, sitting up a bit. “And I wouldn't leave you because of your past. Christ, that's what you thought? I really am an idiot.”

Sherlock chuckled (without humor), but he didn't look up. “I am filthy John. No matter what I do, it'll never wash off.”

“Sherlock, you are so many things that are completely apart from whatever happened in your past.”

“Like what?” Sherlock whispered, going through all of the “compliments” he'd ever received. He hoped John wouldn't ever call him anything (gorgeous, pretty, delectable, fuckable, flexible, docile, easy) like that.

“Well, for starters, you're the world's only consulting detective. You're arrogant, hardheaded, stubborn, childish, and absolutely never boring. You are completely brilliant, which I'm sure I've told you a million times over, and I will never stop telling you. You're different and unique, you're not like anyone I've ever met. You saved me, and everyday I'm grateful that I found you, and that you let me be in your life. You're Sherlock Holmes.” John said, sounding rather embarrassed at parts.

Sherlock had his eyes closed while John spoke, letting John's words wash over him.

“I truly don't deserve you, John Watson.” Sherlock said, raising his head to look at John, who was still in his lap.

“You know what they say, broken things attract each other.” John murmured, looking Sherlock in the eye (what color are John's eyes? Sherlock couldn't quantify it.) “Now, can I get up yet?”

“No.” Sherlock said, smiling faintly. “Let's just stay like this for a moment (stay happy forever).”

John sighed affectionately, but acquiesced to Sherlock's request. He always did in the end.

Fin.

A/N: When he says stay happy forever, that's internalized, not dialogue. I kind of left it pre-slash, so it can be interpreted as just extreme bromance! I'm not sure if I'm going to post this to Ao3, but if I do I'll put the link up here. Everyone who read, and everyone who left comments, you guys are the reason I kept writing, thank you so much!

Awww. So sweet ^___^
Thanks for sharing!

This was beautifully done! Thank you!

Love it, and I will definitely give my kudos if you post on AO3!

I definitely hope to read more of your stories. Please? :)

YAY! What an amazing H/C fic!

Brilliant!

Thank you guys do much for all the comments, you're all awesome! If you'll excuse the shameless self-promotion, my Ao3 is here: http://archiveofourown.org/users/cabintardlock and another fill I'm doing on here is "Perfectly Fine" on this part, page 45!

Sorry anon, this is a bit of a different style than anything on my Ao3, so you might be disappointed.

I will post this to Ao3, i just haven't decided if I want to clump it all together or keep it broken up yet. Thanks for reading!
