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.

(See some kind of hybrids between bees and humans here (with big, stripped abdomens behind them, and such, but with faces and limbs at least close to human :P ) and their models of society.
It can be similar to an A/B/O. Queens = Omegas (can be he or she), working bees = Betas (can be he or she and form a general population), drones = Alphas (can be he or she as well)).

The Queen dies/gets assassinated, so the colony needs a new one. They find all the virgin queens freely living in the colony (it's an AU ;)) to examine them. Sherlock is one of them. He's an adult, neither particularly young, nor old. To his horror, they choose him. The examination shows that he's the most fertile among the other virgin queens, also he's of noble upbringing (and blame Mycroft, who nearly runs the colony and his relatives are held in high regard). Maybe he also attracted too much attention to himself by solving the old Queen's murder (if she/he was murdered).

Sherlock is furious and doesn't want to become a breeding machine! He'd do much better as a solitary 'bee'. They take him away from home and bring him to the Queen's palace where he will live, mate and breed, surrounded by plenty of servants.

When it comes to mating, he won't let anybody near him. He stings his suitors, insults them, throws tantrums and tries to escape repeatedly. Somebody even suggests tying him up and letting him be taken against his will. But it's not how they do things and Mycroft would never allow that.

John comes back from war with another colony (of 'bees' like himself or with 'wasps') and learns that they have a new Queen. There are all sorts of rumours about the new Queen refusing to mate and generally being a pain in the arse. There are other queens in different parts of the colony who actually breed (call them duchesses or anything like that, if you must (Sherlock's and Mycroft's Mummy is/was one of them) :) ) to avoid inbreeding to at least some extent and to support the Queen's hard work. But it's not enough and they need the main, official Queen to do her/his job to keep their society properly populated. For weeks or even months since Sherlock's inauguration they've had no new Queen's brood. If they become weak and don't have enough people, other colonies can see them as weak and start wars.

Maybe Sherlock finally escapes and is in hiding and John accidentally finds him and somehow they make friends (I don't care if John recognises him as the Queen or thinks that Sherlock is just one of those rare free virgin queens, not fertile enough to become important), but later they are found.

Or maybe they meet when John is invited to get some kind of a reward for his military service.

I don't really care how, but they meet and take interest in each other. John is friendly and caring, impressed by Sherlock's personality and doesn't demand anything in return. He supports Sherlock's interests. He often brings him a cup of royal jelly or some kind of tea. What's not to love?

The colony is holding its breath and fingers crossed, in hope that, finally, their Queen is interested in a drone. But they've been just friends so far (even though they fall in love with each other).

John feels bad for Sherlock. They talk about it. John has fought for their colony and wants it to remain big and strong, but if Sherlock wants nothing to do with duties suddenly forced on him, John would help him to escape. He promises. Sherlock is really impressed. So impressed that they finally mate.

Sherlock's body stores and uses John's sperm to produce a huge amount of new 'bees'. The colony sighs in relief. It's not really enough, because more drones should be involved, but Sherlock agrees to a compromise: he won't mate with any other drone except for John, but agrees to an artificial insemination. John supports him in any way he can for Sherlock to keep having his hobbies despite being a breeding machine.

A few years later Sherlock (with John as his eyes and ears and/or his 'network'), while he's still relatively young, finds another suitable, perfectly fertile virgin queen, now old enough and happy to take Sherlock's position. Sherlock does whatever he can to convince others to let him retire. He and John leave to have their adventures together.

The OP has just realised how obscenely long this prompt is, and is sorry. The verse seems rather specific to me, so I wanted to give a bigger picture. If you're interested, you can always pick only what you need. :)

GOOD GOD. I don't know who you are, but YOU ARE A FUCKING GENIUS.

Why, hello there, amazing thing I never knew I wanted.

Seriously, this is a brilliant prompt and I second it for the rest of time.

Different seconded for that alone.

+1, amazingly detailed!
