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
Your mods for this meme are ellie_hell, charname, anonspock and anonbach. If you have any questions, concerns, comments about anything at all on the meme feel free to send a PM or contact us via the Page-A-Mod post.

Re: Filled: Repercussions 1/6

I apologise now for the sheer level of angst, it was unexpected. I'm not sure it this was what you had in mind but, I hope you don't find it to bad. Enjoy x

Mycroft Holmes, had never been one for sentiment but as he stood tapping his umbrella idly. Watching, his younger sibling slip skilfully into his treasured Belstaff, for the first time in two-years, he was almost close to ‘moved’ almost. There were however ‘issues’ he felt the need to inform his younger sibling of, ones that were sure to disrupt his brother’s idealistic notions of his upcoming ‘reunion’ with his beloved doctor Watson. The problem at hand however was that his brother had never been one to allow himself to ‘be informed’ of anything by anyone, especially if that one was one Mycroft Holmes. “I feel it pertinent, to advise you against your current course of action.”

Sherlock barely paused as he continued to stroke his woollen ‘beloved.’

“Do you? Well, I’ll be sure to remember that. Good day Mycroft.” Sherlock smiled falsely, dusting off non-existent lint as he whirled towards the door of the ‘very’ secret bunker.

His movement however was halted by a firm grip on his arm.

“Brother. I must insist I’m afraid.” Mycroft continued, ignoring the bemused gape on Sherlock’s face.

“There… are things, you are as yet… unaware of. And your, current pathway will undoubtedly leave you dismayed. You may… dare I say thank me, at some point.” Mycroft, paused scanning the detectives face. He sighed almost immediately, dropping his hold on his younger brother. “At least, you would if you chose to take note, but I can see that is a hope to far. Very well brother, continue on. Though, I do find ‘I told you so’s’ entirely dull, allow me to say this. There are always repercussions. Especially, for ones actions. Do bare that in mind won’t you?”

“Do you ever tire of yourself?” Sherlock’s eyes rolled dramatically. “You’re so unbelievably tedious, when you speak more than you’re quota of twaddle.”

Mycroft sighed the long-suffering sigh of a man who has dealt with Sherlock’s difficulties for a lifetime. “Toodle do, brother mine. Do give John my best. I’m sure your plan will go just… swimmingly.” With sarcasm dripping into each word, Mycroft took his leave. The elder brother didn’t look forward to the ramifications his brother was to face but he knew they had them to face none the less. He would just need to be there, as he always was.

***

Standing at the door staring for what seemed like a lifetime Sherlock finally raised his hand to knock. The wait was precisely 15.6 seconds but upon seeing John’s face fall and blank itself, Sherlock actually could have happily waited a little longer.

Sherlock inhaled deeply. “Short story… not… dead.”

John said nothing if it wasn’t for the rapid breathing of his chest, Sherlock would have sworn he were a statue.
