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 Holmes, the world's only consulting detective, is cold, ruthless, arrogant, and has no time or patience for sentiment. He is also an unbonded Omega who is careful to take his heat suppressants, as, unlike the average Omega (and Sherlock, as he will gladly tell you, is anything but average), he has no desire to become the human equivalent of a broodmare to some hormone-driven Alpha male, popping out one baby after another year after year until his eggs dry up. Such purported “domestic bliss” might be what other Omegas strove to achieve, but not him. He has better things to do. Like solving crimes and proving time and time again how utterly useless the local police force often was when it came to doing the same.

Then one day he is called into a case that proves extremely difficult and time-consuming to solve. As days stretch into weeks with no resolution, Sherlock becomes so focused on finding the solution he neglects to take his suppressants. One day he decides to revisit the crime scene, hoping to unearth some new clue that will hopefully point him in the right direction. Unbeknownst to him, however, Anderson has had the same idea. Also unbeknownst to him, he's beginning to go into heat, something Anderson, an unbonded Alpha, instantly realizes when the two bump into each other at the crime scene. Hardly able to believe his good fortune, Anderson wastes no time forcing himself on his hated rival, knowing this initial mating will form the beginnings of a bond which, if successfully completed, will eventually leave Sherlock under his complete and utter control. Of course that's the last thing Sherlock wants, but his vast intellect stands no chance against thousands of years of biology and he is helpless to resist as Anderson bends him over on the floor and mounts him. A bite to the neck and the potential for a permanent bond is formed. All that remains is a successful impregnation and birth of a child, and the two men will be inexorably tied together for the rest of their lives.

While Anderson is determined to succeed in this final step, Sherlock is just as determined he will not. He limits his exposure to Anderson as much as possible and adamantly refuses to give into the ever present and instinctive desire to take up residence with his new “mate”, either by leaving Baker Street or allowing Anderson to move in. Undeterred, Anderson takes full advantage of the limited power he now holds over Sherlock. He enthusiastically “scents” Sherlock on the limited occasions they are in each other’s presence, rubbing his body all over the detective, practically smothering him with pheromones and leaving behind an unmistakable and undeniable message that Sherlock belongs to him and him alone. Such times are rare, however, and only fuel his desire to cement the bond and make Sherlock permanently his. But since that requires the birth of a pup, Anderson begins making regular visits to Baker Street, bedding Sherlock and knotting him frequently in a concerted effort to impregnate the detective. But already having made the disastrous mistake of forgetting to take his suppressants, Sherlock is not about to do the same when it comes to his birth control. While biology will not permit him to refuse Anderson’s attempts at procreation, it cannot stop him from employing any means necessary to assure such attempts will fail. Thus the situation remains at an impasse, with both parties stubbornly refusing to yield.

Then one day an ex-army doctor going by the name of John Hamish Watson, who happens to be an unbonded Alpha, steps into a lab at Bart's to meet someone who could potentially become his new flat mate. Shortly afterward he finds himself sharing his life with a man who is at times an incredible genius and at others a spoiled brat. And while John is aware Sherlock is an Omega, he has no idea the detective has been “claimed” until they go to their first crime scene together. Anderson is already there and immediately pounces on Sherlock, "scenting" him furiously. To John’s surprise, Sherlock makes no attempt to halt or even protest Anderson’s actions; instead he goes to his knees and remains there, stiff and silent as the air becomes saturated with pheromones.

For John, the actions of the two men leave him both shocked and confused. It is blatantly
apparent that he was wrong when he thought Sherlock was unattached and that his flat mate and Anderson are, if nothing else, in the early stages of bonding. But if that were the case, why is Sherlock living with John and not Anderson? For a bond to grow and strengthen, both Omega and Alpha need to spend the majority of their time in each other’s presence. So why were these two living apart? Not to mention the final step leading to a permanent bond – the birth of a child. Why would Sherlock invite John to flat share with him knowing all along that once he became pregnant, that arrangement would have to end? Unless Sherlock intended for both Anderson and the baby join them in Baker Street. But that was more than impracticable; there simply wasn’t enough room. No, it made more sense for Sherlock and Anderson to find a place much more suitable to raise a family. And Baker Street definitely did not fill the bill. So why would Sherlock think it was a good idea to have John move into Baker Street when all along it was only a temporary situation?

But John soon has the answer to that question as he notes Sherlock’s reaction as Anderson leans over to sink his teeth into the soft, pale skin at the back of his neck. Immediately those gray-blue eyes fill with fear and loathing, making it clear that for Sherlock, this pairing is not a happy one. That thought does not sit well with John.

No, it does not sit well at all.
