Prompting Part XXXVI

[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


• Please do not re-post prompts unless the last time they were prompted was on an older part. Simply put: ONE posting of each prompt per part.


• 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.

John 'Three Continents' Watson. Jealous Sherlock. Possible John/Sherlock endgame.

[(Anonymous)]

Can we have more of John justifying his nickname? Women of all ages, including toddlers and old ladies, adore him. He even manages to have a nice talk and charm that chip and pin machine in Tesco. "She" just wants him to come back again and probably gives him groceries for free to the Tesco's staff shock.

When Sherlock and he are on a case, female witnesses are much more likely to open up to John; some flirt and gladly give him their phone numbers. Female victims find comfort in John. And so on, and so on.

Sherlock is jealous, because he's in love with John, and he's upset, because John won't treat him the way he treats all those women, just because Sherlock's gender is different. He wants to be courted and looked at the same way.

Whether his wish comes true or not is entirely up to you. :)

Crossover: James Bond, Molly is M’s daughter/niece

[(Anonymous)]

Either Pre or start of Casino Royal with Dench!M (Though could do Post Skyfall with Fiennes!M if want) the first time Bond breaks into M’s home he meets Molly their daughter or niece.
Molly has a ‘If everything goes to hell trust only people on this list’ list that he is on from M, and/or a calm/accepting if ‘he wants me dead/intends harm nothing I can do about it’ calmly offers him tea or coffee.
And there starts a very strange amenable or unfriendly acquaintanceship (with some tentative trust) fillers choice.

Bonus
+ Officially and unofficially Molly is the go to person when death and mayhem of super-secret spying needs more than a KIA, a fix it, or something special set up.
Things like she was the one to work out how to fake Sherlock’s death, cleared Bond of (unsanctioned) murders in Quantum of Solace, helped Mycroft acquire bodies for ‘The Plane of the Dead’ etc. Barts is where she works day to day and where a civilian is the next of kin.

++ Molly has been pretending to be an infatuated and vapid fangirl so Sherlock (and others) avoid asking for help unless he really needs it and not it’s just when bored (or easier), Bond sees right through it.

Mycroft centric, Rules of Engagement dialogue inspired

[(Anonymous)]

‘Jenifer: “I smelled donuts”
Adam: “But I hid the screwdriver”
Jenifer: “Used my hands,”
Adam: “My God, you are a bear”’
‘The Third Wheel, Rules of Engagement’

Asking for same similar scene with Mycroft going on a diet Athena, Molly, Lestrade, John Mary etc. *not heeding Sherlock, getting their locked cabinets and draws literally getting ripped open to get to their snacks.
*Bonus is Sherlock has gone through this before super plus for he deliberately sets Mycroft up with embarrassing and difficult traps

Because I mis-read the previous prompt

[(Anonymous)]

Metric Mycroft: Ruler of England.

He really, really can't stand imperial measurements and Sherlock loves littering his speech/email/texts with them.

Re: Because I mis-read the previous prompt

Miss-reads, the only thing more inspiring for prompts are miss-prompts.

This caught my attention..... Will think about this one but no promises....

Mycroft/Sherlock: I will take over the world to protect what is mine

[swirlsofblue.livejournal.com]

Mycroft realises the only way to truly protect Sherlock is to become the most powerful person in the country. And thus his career begins.

Body Swap

Mycroft and Sherlock swap bodies and have to do each other’s jobs/ live each other’s lives.

Sherlock/Mycroft: How long can we pretend this is only about resentment?

[swirlsofblue.livejournal.com]

History of Mycroft and Sherlock and what brought them to where they are. The events that caused them to learn that feigning resentment was the only way to keep each other safe.

Re: Sherlock/Mycroft: How long can we pretend this is only about resentment?

[(Anonymous)]

You're more likely to get a fill for a prompt if you space out your prompts and not putting people off by spamming the post.

Irene and Molly are sisters, or Moriarty and Molly are siblings

[(Anonymous)]

Exactly what the subject line says in either a Full/Half/Step/Foster and either Molly and Irene or Molly and James are siblings

Would actually have done this as separate prompts if bonuses were not the same hope any potential fillers aren’t put off.
Bonus
> They have a Mycroft Sherlock like relationship, whatever filler anon’s interpretation of that complicated mess is.
>> Molly is the smart one and like Mycroft prefers to be looked over and avoids legwork

Re: Irene and Molly are sisters, or Moriarty and Molly are siblings

[(Anonymous)]

Not quite what you asked for but uh. This is what happened! Enjoy anyway, eh?

---

She's always been the sensible one.

When they were small, she never caught trouble because of the little plots and plans and planted seeds. She could keep her mouth shut and her head ducked, even as she overheard every stupid little secret that rained carelessly out their schoolmates' lips. She kept her counsel to just the two of them, and between whispers they'd find the best plans, planting new versions of old truths and watching to see how they'd grow.

She fancied them sowers, he fancied them reapers, but the difference didn't matter. Not really.

The ending was always the same.

Over the years, the sharp thing that lived in her brother's head had grown and carved out its own place in the world. It was all still playtime, and the seeds he planted sometimes ended on her slab in the morgue. Her domain, where she could slice away evidence in the right places, arrange and add others, watch corruption and misinformation make fools and heroes. Sweet Molly, competent Molly, who no one noticed unless they needed something--that girl could get away with anything.

And while brother-dear played and tried to win the game against Sherlock Holmes, he forgot the long nights of careful whispers, the lay of the land and how she could help. And while he stood on a rooftop and pretended to die, she stood quietly below, waiting to make the exchange, steal Sherlock away from his so-called fall.

Because while Jim was out reaping, sister was sowing, and when Sherlock came to her with his plan, she had been ready and waiting. She gasped and let him sweep her along, but behind her back, she sharpened her scythe. The ending was always the same.

extreme reaction to declaration of love

[missselene-1.livejournal.com]

John tells Sherlock he loves him. Sherlock at first doesn't believe it and thinks John must be making fun of him, and when John finally convinces him, he has a sort of panic attack because it's such a shock for him. Cue lots of comfort and reassurance from John, who's heartbroken that Sherlock thinks himself so unlovable.

Re: extreme reaction to declaration of love

[(Anonymous)]

Absolutely seconded!

John/Sherlock. BDSM. Desperation, Enemas. Dom!John, Sub!Sherlock

[(Anonymous)]

Sherlock has done something "a bit no good" at all. Maybe he was rude to Mrs Hudson, maybe during one of their cases he was unnecessarily rude to a witness/a victim's family/anybody else, or maybe he has put his life to an unnecessary risk, tried to take a dubious substance, was craving drugs. Anything, really, even if it's all of above.

John, as his Dom, has no choice but punish him.

He strips Sherlock naked and gives him an enema (bonus if the water is warm and very soapy, to make the urge and discomfort stronger). When it seems Sherlock's body can't take any more water into his bum and it's just too much, John plugs it with a butt plug to keep the water inside. Apart from that, he makes Sherlock drink a lot of water. John allows him to take a break when he gets nauseous, but still makes him drink more and more.

Very soon Sherlock really needs to pee. His bum is extremely full as well, his stomach feels like it's about to burst, but, despite the begging, John doesn't let him use the loo, as a punishment. Crying is okay.

Maybe Sherlock can't take it any longer and pees himself, so John has to repeat the whole thing once more. If Sherlock finds it hard to swallow water after some time, John uses a nasogastric tube (which doesn't mean he has to be violent. He's a doctor, he knows how to do things like that carefully).

Aftercare would be great. Maybe, once Sherlock is better after relieving himself, when John finally allows him to, and resting, he gets rewarded with sex.

It can be a BDSM-Verse, where everybody is either a Dom or a Sub, or it's just between the two of them.

God! I would so love to see this filled!! SECONDED!

Janine/Sherlock. Janine has a secret. Trans Character. Possible Dub-Con. Virgin!Sherlock.

[(Anonymous)]

The only sex Sherlock has ever had was with Janine's big penis up his arse, usually with her full breasts pressed against his back. She doesn't have sex any other way other than topping. She's also quite dominant and sometimes a little persistent when she wants sex.

Maybe she's not a really dark character, but she likes to take what she wants.

Unrequited John/Sherlock (unrequited on John's part) is very welcome.

Sherlock/MCU, Darcy Lewis is Mycroft’s daughter

That’s it do anything, be it crossover between two verses or only a Darcy Lewis like character been Mycroft’s daughter.

Re: Sherlock/MCU, Darcy Lewis is Mycroft’s daughter

This would be so glorious! Mycroft would be fucking furious Darcy keeps getting into trouble of the alien kind!

Sherlock gets choked (consensually)

[(Anonymous)]

Reprompt from last part.

I know I've seen this requested probably a dozen times, but never seen it filled. Anyone? Please?

Basic premise: Sherlock asks to be choked during sex. Whoever his partner is agrees, enthusiastically or reluctantly, idc.

Everything goes as well as can reasonably be expected in such a scenario.

+ hands, scarves, ropes, belts are all fine. please no gagging on someone's cock or cum, though -- that's a lovely kink, but a different one, and it's well represented in the current literature.

+ extra points for descriptions of resultant bruising, hoarseness, etc., but no serious damage.

(yes I know I am going to hell.)

RTMI are much appreciated!

(Mycroft says: Bond, James Bond. Mycroft, you role playing again, bae?)

Re: Sherlock gets choked (consensually)

[(Anonymous)]

Yes yes yes yes yes. Seconding very, very hard.

(Mycroft is asking me which from a list is food. He may be having some sort of breakdown)

Any (or gen)- Forced "breeding" , heavy scrutiny (possible dub/non)

[(Anonymous)]

This can be set anywhere including somewhere not in London.

The population is barely holding steady. Society is the exact opposite of overpopulated- there are barely enough people to fill jobs. It is now a requirement to have at least one baby though it doesn't have to be raised by the birth parents. People are encouraged to have more than one every few years or so. Because of this unconventional relationships are widely accepted: often times one person has many different partners, marries more than one person, and they all live together even if they don't love each other. It's more common to find romance/love because of how much it's pushed on people.

At the same time it is now also common to have people dragged out in the middle of the day and taken to facilities when they refuse to have kids by a certain age. Though the person doesn't have to have a child they are stuck there until they do. If not they are heavily monitored and have to 'prove their worth' in other ways.

The only thing I ask: if this turns into omegaverse or D/s there is not a HUGE discrimination between the two or if there is it skews in the omegas or subs favor. I mean if there are barely enough people to keep society running why take out a bunch of people right? It be kinda cool to have Dom or Alpha John too.

Bonus 1: Sherlock and John are one of the few people that haven't had kids at their age. Or when canon happens/when they meet they are younger because not wanting kids/not being ready for kids means they have to push themselves A LOT harder and get A LOT farther in life quicker or risk being detained by officals.

Bonus 2: Them meeting younger changes things. John has more of a temper, if a bad life before there are more signs of it, lets Sherlock boss him around less, etc. Sherlock is much more vulnerable, open, and maybe still on drugs or getting into them. Those around them are different too since their younger.

Bonus 3: MOLLY HAS A HAREM! She's very sweet and she is also smart. She has a harem and is trying to gently, shyly convince Sherlock to join. Meanwhile, her guys/gals are kinda pissed at the fact she showers him with attention and how rude he is.

Bonus 4: Because people often have babies so young kids are often given up to the government. Childless couples are pushed to take care of these kids especially infertile couples, older couples with adult kids/no more kids, and homosexual pairs. Like Clara Harry. In fact, homosexual people are welcomed because that means more parents available!

TLDR; The population is so low that people are forced by authorities to have at least one kid and shamed/monitored heavily if they don't. It's a very fucked up place that our cast of characters are trying to navigate but it also has it's advantages. Sometimes.

lol domestic spying

Re: Any (or gen)- Forced "breeding" , heavy scrutiny (possible dub/non)

[(Anonymous)]

One more thing (sorry!!!). Asexual and aromantic people are not ignored. Instead it's though of as a very real disease. Sherlock can choose to either keep up appearances or get into trouble a lot more.

Omegaverse or D/s - discrimination

[(Anonymous)]

Sherlock is an omega / sub. He has accepted it and doesn't hate his gender but he does hate how people view his gender (as inferior, as breeding machines) . He knows quiet a few omegas in high positions, that managed to hide their omeganess somehow, or that are openly omega but are trying to get their foot in the door in whatever school/career/"anti-omega" life style they want.

He takes pill to stop smelling like an omega and to stop his heats. He is doing fine at his age but suddenly omega pills are banned. All documents on how to make them destroyed. All labs that made them destroyed. He can't find them anywhere. He would know; he goes through drastic lengths to find them. He tries making his own but they keep not working out or causing side effects and John bans him from trying to do so at home (due to the huge health risks) and Bart's is being monitored because it is believed a pill-sympathizer works there...

Mycroft is NOT helping matters . Though he has never actively stopped Sherlock from pursuing his goals he has made it clear his position on what is and is not appropriate for an omega like him. So, after throwing money at corporations to not stop production (and it not working) he feels that his job as a big brother is complete and starts to try 'fencing in Sherlock' now that he is older and hasn't "shaped up." So, what does Sherlock do? He goes to the dark side, of course.

This could mean several things: He joins an omega resistance group, he decides to join omega- Moriarty because the society he has tried to be in has pretty much gone to shit and at least Jim is doing something about it unlike Mycroft, he moves out of Mycroft's sphere of influence but continues being himself etc.

+10 Regardless of what happens Alpha!John joins him . Sherlock is reluctant to drag him along but gets over it.

+100 Sherlock is a Dom omega or a Dominate submissive. As in he likes being cared for, likes listening to orders, but he also likes "topping from the bottom" so to speak (he likes being in control of the situation even if that situation is him being ordered around).

Re: Omegaverse or D/s - discrimination

[(Anonymous)]

Op would like to add: I would rather Mycroft not be dark or a villian. He genuinely thinks he is doing right by Sherlock (even though he isn't). Sherlock meanwhile has no clue where this came from since their parent's were pretty progressive.

John is more than a bit 'not good' and Sherlock struggles to help

[(Anonymous)]

John did something incredibly stupid, reckless, andor horrible in his youth or a few years before meeting Sherlock (or while Sherlock was 'away'). Like very very not good thing.

It's coming back to bite him quiet badly.

Sherlock is now fighting against morals he DOES in fact have and the fact that John is now obviously a good man . He does want to help his friend, is planning on it, can't stand to see John arrested but at the same time...he isn't as amoral as he thinks he is and he can't help but think John deserves it.

+ If it isn't rape.

++ Whatever John did was actually done in order to try to *fix* something else he did. Like due to guilt for doing X he did Y.

+++Mycroft straight up tells Sherlock he can either help or not depending on what Sherlock chooses. But that John will now be under heavy scrutiny via Mycroft and his men.

Johnlock, reused engagement ring

[(Anonymous)]

Sherlock proposes to John using the ring he bought for Janine in His Last Vow. Sherlock does not understand why John is upset with him.
Can be S3-compliant or not, I don't mind.

Re: Johnlock, reused engagement ring

[(Anonymous)]

Sherlock fiddled with the box in his hands as he patiently waited for John to finish in the bathroom. Sherlock had set up a candle lit dinner, well, it had a candle and a slightly burnt Pasta Bake, but it was the thought that counted.
Sherlock wasn’t sure why he was getting so worked up, it was only a question. If he had been asked a year ago if he would ever ask anyone ‘The Question’ he would have argued that Love Is a Chemical Defect Found on the Losing Side.
“And what’s all this?” John asked, ruffling his hair with a towel as he walked in the kitchen area. Sherlock quickly hid the box back in his trouser pocket.
“I decided to cook us some food.” Sherlock replied, almost stuttering, Dam Nerves.
John eyed the food suspiciously as he came and sat down across from Sherlock, worried it might just be poisoned.
They both ate the, unpoised, dinner while they chatted about current affairs with the both of them. Once done Sherlock got up and took Johns plate over to the sink. What John wasn’t expecting was, on the way back to his seat, for Sherlock to crouch down onto one knee. John’s heart suddenly felt like it was in his chest.

Sherlock/Skyfall crossover

[(Anonymous)]

In which Q is a Holmes brother and at one point or another John's shagged with all of the Holmes boys.
Cos while I love Bond/Watson fics, it'd be interesting to see a John/Q for once.
Kudos for Johnlock ending. And that Sherlock becomes incredibly jealous of his brothers.

x-men!Sherlock

[(Anonymous)]

Basically everyone in the series has some sort of superpower mutation. They use it to fight crimes/commit crimes/govern the UK/try to get into others' pants.
Kudos for:
- crack/humour.
- unexpected mutations (cos telepathy on the Holmes or Moriarty is kind of bland).
- Johnlock ending, with either one of them has a kink for the other's mutation.

Starring John Watson as a Scottish Terrier

[(Anonymous)]

John was turned into a Scottish Terrier for some reasons, although he still had the intelligence and memory of himself as a man. Sherlock had no idea how to take care of a dog and tended to mess things up at first, or forget that John was no longer in human form. John just gave him suffered/frustrated looks at these times.
Extra ideas:
- Taking care of John becomes too much of a responsibility for Sherlock and he gave John up after a while (John went to live with Harry?). He deeply regretted it after a while.
- John's life became endangered.
- John teased Sherlock mercilessly after he got his human form back, but smiled fondly at him all the while anyway.
- Anthea thought that terrier!John was super adorable and wanted to keep him for herself. Sherlock got all possessive.

bad bad John

[(Anonymous)]

John was actually the mastermind behind Moriarty's work all this time. He started the work ages before meeting Sherlock and rooming up with him was just a coincidence. Moriarty is either his most trusted second-in-command or his 'business' partner. Remember that swimming pool scene? It was a double-double cross with Moriarty happily playing his role while covering for John. After the Great Game event Sherlock still had no idea about John's identity.

Ending's totally up to the writer, make it comedic or angst or fluffy, as you will. Mild Johnriarty is great though my OTP is Johnlock.

Re: bad bad John

I second this so badly...

Also, am I the only one that gets a kick out of John/Moriarty being called JIMMY JOHN

Character's Death. Heavy Angst.

[(Anonymous)]

When Sherlock comes back from his time away, he learns that John is in hospital. He goes to visit him, intending to cheer him up and tell him that he's alive.

John never says anything. Sherlock is next to his bed, trying to explain whet has happened, but, now that he's back, they can live and have cases together again! And everything's going to be fine, right? Meanwhile, John stops blinking, his eyes never leave Sherlock. And it takes a while for Sherlock to realise that John is dead.

Maybe it wasn't supposed to happen and doctors were sure John was going to get well. He just had to get him medication and stay calm, i.e. not stressed.

Bonus for Sherlock in denial, trying to wake John up. And then, either he breaks down right there and then or quietly goes catatonic (and maybe never snaps out of it).

Drug use, mental institutions... Everything goes.

Or Maybe Mary (if Mary is in the picture) finds him later in 221B and he just lets her kill him.

Bonus points if Sherlock was in love with John (but I prefer no established relationship before Sherlock's fake suicide) and Sherlock survived his time away thanks to that love and hope to come back to John.

Re: Character's Death. Heavy Angst.

Yes please!

John/Sherlock, John/Mary. A/B/O verse. Preg and MPreg. Both Mary and Sherlock are pregnant.

[(Anonymous)]

Alpha!John, Beta!Mary, Omega!Sherlock.

Please, I really want both Mary and Sherlock pregnant with John's children at the same time. In Sherlock's case it probably has something to do with that stag night (bonus points for virgin!Sherlock). ;)

He's been hiding his pregnancy for some time, but, eventually, Mary learns about it. And now they have to meet and discuss what to do next. The both of them are round and very obviously pregnant when they meet. Bonus if Sherlock is nervous (he's an Omega and maybe Omega rights suck when it comes to an unbonded, pregnant one, or maybe he already knows about Mary's dark past).

The outcome is up to you. Either Mary agrees that John should spend an equal amount of time with both families (maybe she doesn't want Sherlock and his child in her home anymore, but she wants John to be happy and knows that he wants to support both families and is in love with both her and Sherlock), or... I don't mind dark!Mary, who seemingly agrees to all compromises, whilst secretly planning to poison Sherlock to cause miscarriage (or even kill him to end their rivalry altogether).

You aren't my brother-Mycroft and Sherlock (and family)

[(Anonymous)]

Prompt:

Turns out one of the Holmes boys is not actually a Holmes. Mycroft drops all protection/guards/'sponsorship' to Sherlock because he (either Mycroft or Sherlock) are no longer related in a brotherly way.

Expansion or prompt:
Basically, somehow Sherlock and Mycroft discover that one of them are not Holmes. If Mycroft isn't a Holmes he starts distancing himself from the family and tries to find his bio family (or to know more about them if they were the ones to track him down). He tells Sherlock he has x number of days to arrange for the protection of his parents/other relatives if he wants them to be protected before he cuts them off as well. If Sherlock then Mycroft does him the 'favor' of finding his bio family before no longer helping to bail him out. Of course, this doesn't mean Mycroft's parents (or his technically adoptive parents, if that's where you are heading) are happy and agreeable. The could very well agree or they could make it very clear they view them both as siblings and sons and try to shower them all with attention.

Mycroft ...why is he doing this? I will leave that up to the author if someone decides to fill. It could be he genuinely doesn't want to attach himself to 'not-family' or it could be done because he knows its a lie and a trap. Or maybe he is lashing out because he feels his whole world has tilted and it's a very stressful time. You could throw in other things like omegaverse, magic or what have you to offer more explanations.

Bonus: He eventually comes to his senses and realizes he has made a mistake.

Bonus: Sherlock is grown up. He may act like a five year old and throw epic tantrums but he is a grown up. He doesn't fall apart the minute Mycroft is no longer there but he does begin to realize life is SO much easier with a big brother.

Bonus: This all happens post-BBC Sherlock and is why Sherlock is so pissy at Mycroft all the time. And why Mycroft can be overbearing sometimes (he's making up for it).

Bonus: Sherlock is still labeled a person of interest but now this is harming more than helping.
