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

Re: Filled: What's Done In The Dark 4/?

[(Anonymous)]

“Okay.” John sighed rubbing a hand over his face “why didn’t you tell me?”

That question was not something Sherlock wanted to answer, as Sherlock could sense that that particular line of questioning led to dangerous territory, he really didn’t want John to examine too much.

Tactic: Distract and avoid.

“John…” Sherlock started in the voice he knew John found enticing. “Let’s go to bed. I need to feel you.”

“I don’t think—” John swallowed heavily as Sherlock started slowly unbuttoning his shirt. “Sherlock Don’t…”

Sherlock shimmied the soft material off of his Shoulders. “Let’s. Go. To. Bed. John.” Sherlock enunciated as he kick off his shoes. “It’s so bright out here. Take me to bed, John.”

And, just like that John’s eyes narrowed minutely.

‘Shit’ thought Sherlock.

“Sherlock…” John’s voice began in a tone that was eerily calm (falsely, calm) “what happened before?”

“John?” Playing stupid had never worked before for the detective (against the doctor at least) but he thought it was worth a shot now.

“Before, Sherlock. What happened?” John’s question was met with a faux confused silence. “Was it something I did?”

“No, it’s never you! Ever!” Sherlock answered a little quickly.

“Has this happen before? Whatever this was, has it happened before?” John asked eyes avidly scanning the man before him, if Sherlock wasn’t at that moment worried about what John may read off of him he would have been proud of John’s fast-improving deductive skills.

Sherlock didn’t know how to answer and evidently he had waited too long because when his eyes found the doctors again his saw the realisation hit John like a lightning strike. Within seconds John was staggering to his chair throwing his head into his hands and pulling at his hair.

Sherlock was kneeling at the doctor’s side within an instant.
