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.

The next time John awoke, he was alone in Sherlock’s bed and rare London sunshine was streaming through the open curtains of the bedroom. John looked at the window in surprise; he hadn’t taken in the fact that Sherlock had a window in his room. Any time John had glimpsed Sherlock’s bedroom previously, it had been dim, if not actually dark. He looked around with interest. It was startlingly neat in contrast to the comfortable shambles in the living room and kitchen of the flat. Sherlock’s collections of bones, seeds and what-not were orderly displayed in the bookcase or framed and mounted on the walls. His silk dressing gowns, John grinned, were hung in order of preference with his best blue striped one first in the row. There were a few photographs too, head-shots of someone…he stared. Sherlock had several pictures of John himself spaced out around the room, one on his desk, two in the bookcase and one hanging on the wall behind the door-where one could see it when the door was closed. The one on the desk dated back to the first month they’d met; it was cut from a press-shot taken the day of the news conference following the shooting of the murderous cabbie; John remembered it as being the first time he’d seen himself appear in a newspaper.

John felt tears gather behind his eyes and his throat tighten as he realized that when Sherlock found the world too overwhelming and disappeared into his room, he didn't go alone, he took John with him and he had since the beginning

'… sometimes I don’t notice when you’re not here, John,' Sherlock had once said. He hadn’t added…'it's because I take you with me wherever I go…'

Where was Sherlock? Suddenly, John wanted to see him, to touch him, if Sherlock would let him. He was anxious to tell Sherlock that he loved him too, just as much as Sherlock loved him and for just as long…

He climbed out of bed and, not stopping to put his T shirt on, he went straight to the kitchen. He almost wilted with relief to see Sherlock making tea. He had had an irrational fear that he wouldn’t be, that fate would once again tear them apart when they were on the verge of finding each other, as it had once before...

“Sherlock.”

Sherlock looked up. He said carefully, “John, would you like tea? I’m making toast. It’s almost done.”

Something was wrong. Sherlock was awkward, uncomfortable. Oh God, John thought, I shouldn’t have stayed with him last night. What was I thinking! I’m always aroused in the morning, and this morning it was probably worse than usual, having spent the night so close to him. He noticed. Of course he did, he’s a detective for God’s sake!

“Sherlock−”

“Yes?” Sherlock sounded tense.

“If it’s the erection that’s making you uncomfortable, I want to reassure you there’s nothing to worry about. Morning erections are common. They just happen, it’s a physiological thing, it doesn’t mean the person is desperate for sex or anything like that.”

Sherlock looked pained. “It doesn’t? But it feels like it, John, the heat and the pressure, the throbbing. I had to get up; I couldn’t stand to lie next to you, it was so bad.”

It was John’s turn to look pained. “Sherlock, I’m so sorry, I won’t sleep next to you again. I don't want to make you uncomfortable!”

“I don’t think that will help, John.”

John asked unhappily, “What can I do to fix it then, please tell me and I’ll do it. Would you like me to leave for a little while, give you some space and time to think about things? I don’t want to leave you Sherlock, not for a minute, but if you think it would help, I’ll do it. I’ll do anything to help you, Sherlock. Anything.”

“No! I don’t want you to leave! I want you to stay. I know the advice says a person should touch themselves to learn about their body and its responses, but I don’t want to! I want you to touch me John, so badly!”

John gave himself a mental shake. Clearly he'd been on the wrong track all together with this erection business... He rapidly collected his wits; it seemed that Sherlock had woken up to discover himself aroused and hard and...he was asking John to do something about it.

Awesome update!

NA

Ah, the pictures of John in Sherlock's room do things to my heart!

I've been enjoying this fill all along, but just now got around to commenting. Like another person who commented back in part 4, I have personal experience in feeling like Sherlock did, and I thought you handled that well too. Looking forward to more!

Sweethearts... ^________^
