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

FILL 10/? Above the Clouds

(Sorry, sorry sorry for the long wait. This was very hard to write. I'm throwing it up here without much proofing just to get going on this again, so apologies for errors!)

Sherlock isn't ready to do this. Isn't ready to tell John what's been going on in his head. But he owes him. Not just for shooting Albert Gruner. For tolerating Sherlock Holmes. No one is like John.

Mycroft loves him dearly, beneath his meddling façade-- the same self-satisfaction with which he micromanages all of Europe-- but it is a love born of obligation and fraternal ties. Sherlock is never entirely sure if he loves Mycroft as a person, and having someone on common intellectual footing has proven to be both a blessing and a curse. Sherlock has made many poor choices throughout his life, but at least they were his own poor choices. Still, whatever decisions he made, whether they saw him saving someone from the gallows or back in rehab, Mycroft would still be his brother. John, however, could cease being his friend at any time. He is keenly aware that he owes John. And he doesn't like the feeling.

He is about to berate him. To tear him into ribbons. He sees the whole conversation play itself out... he accuses John of forcing out information against his will, and John recoils at the word choice and backs off. Maybe for quite a long time. But he doesn't want John to back off. Not really. And, for all his catering to sentimental concepts, John has a point. He would benefit by purging the thoughts.

"Fine. Clearly he meant to humiliate me, to teach me a lesson. It was one worth learning." He tries for a nonchalance. "I let him finish what he started."

"Don't hide behind the words, Sherlock."

"I'm not hiding behind...fine,</i!"he spit the word out like a cobra spraying venom. "You want the words? Have words. I let him rape me. I let him shove his...cock down my throat and I let him fuck me on the back of the plane. I let him do it with the curtain closed and everyone doing their best to ignore what was going on, and I let him do it with the curtain open and everyone watching. I let him thank me for a job well-done like the cockslut I really am, and I let him kill me because it wasn't good enough for him." John's expression was surprisingly solid. Sherlock had expected shock. Fear. Uncertainty. "Do you feel pain when you are in your mind palace, or are you disconnected from your body and only observing?" It's Sherlock who is shocked by the directness of the question. "I can chose to merely observe myself, or I can relive it. I have rooms to go to to retrieve information I have stored. Places from my past to escape to. As far as physical sensations, I can't block them out entirely if they are occurring in real time, but I can create them within my mind... based on past experiences, or, in the case of something I have not actually experienced, how I would perceive it to feel. So, in answer to your question, yes. I felt pain. What I imagined it would feel like." "So your body will still store and process that, like a phantom limb? Or like a psychosomatic injury?" "I don't know. I suppose so." "All right then. I will be prepared in case that becomes an issue. Did it help?" Again, unexpected. He hates repetition and he's shocked to find himself doing it. "Help?" "Did you find the thing you should have done to make it all go without a hitch? And did he teach you whatever lesson you thought you needed to learn?" "No. There's was no correct course of action I could determine. Too many variables in the equation. And..." He looks up at John. This is not the right answer, he knows, but it's the true one. "Yes. I think it did teach me something." "Okay. Are you done with that, then?" Sherlock smiles. My god, there really is no one like John. "Yes. Done."
