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

Things We Don't Say 11/?

[(Anonymous)]

Mycroft showed up just as she was clearing her plate into a sink full of dirty dishes and a strange green substance that she was pretty sure came from the bottom of the Thames. He rapped once on the door, waited politely for Mrs. Hudson to let him in and show him up the stairs, then swept into the room with an air of confidence so pronounced that she could practically feel it radiating off of him.

“Sherlock. Mr. and Mrs. Watson. Good afternoon.”

John mumbled a greeting, taking up a seat at the kitchen table beside her, Mary nodded in the man’s direction, and Sherlock very pointedly ignored his big brother.
Mycroft stepped into the room, pulling the client chair over and taking a seat before he turned to address the consulting detective.

“Sherlock, I believe you know why I am here.” When the sulking detective didn’t reply, Mycroft continued. “I have a very sensitive case for you. If you’ll go visit Inspector Lestrade, he will provide you with the details of-“

“Not going.”

“What do you mean ‘not going’?”

“Don’t be purposely daft, Mycroft. Someone has to stay with Mary, and I take John on all my cases.”

“Sherlock…”

“Mrs. Hudson does the shopping on Saturdays, Molly is out of town, Lestrade is working, and Janine is sick with the flu,” Sherlock continued. “Your ‘case’ will have to wait.”

“No, it will not. Now get your coat on and go over there right now. I will stay here and watch after Mrs. Watson for you.”

Sherlock opened his mouth to protest, closed it, opened it, closed it again, and finally snapped out “Why would you do that?” as he shot a glare at his brother.

“Because I need this case taken care of,” Mycroft shrugged, crossing his right leg over his left and folding his hands together on his knee. “And unless you have someone here with Mary, neither of you is going to leave.”

“I’ll be fine, John,” Mary jumped in, giving her husband’s knee a squeeze. “Go on, the pair of you.”

“You sure?” he asked. She nodded.

“Absolutely. You boys go have fun.”

“This had better be at least a seven,” Sherlock growled, lurching to his feet and throwing on his coat. “John, come along. We should be back in a few hours. Mycroft....”

“I’m sure Mary and I will get along swimmingly,” he smiled, getting to his feet as John shrugged his coat on. “Do try not to cause a scene, Sherlock. The idea is to close this case quickly and quietly.”

Sherlock waved a hand at him dismissively and bounded down the stairs to hail a cab.

“Be back soon, love,” John whispered, leaning to kiss her. “Don’t take anything Mycroft says personally. He’s only just marginally more polite than Sherlock.”

“I’ll keep that in mind. You boys be safe.”

She watched as John darted down the stairs to echoes of Sherlock yelling about how slow he was being. The sound of a taxi door slamming echoed up through the open window, and then they were gone.
Mary turned her attention to Mycroft.

“Well then. Shall we begin?”
