Prompting Part XXXVI

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.

Op here.

Is so okay if it's purely brotherly love. I wasn't even thinking about incest at the time.

*sets up campsite to wait*

(I think Mycroft might be drunk, he's asking me if Fried Rice is a country... or maybe he's just hungry???)

Is that why John is so good at controlling Sherlock? (cos all that came to mind when I saw this prompt was Cat!Lock)

I'm so sorry! Not hijacking, just couldn't help it.

Op here!

Omfg. Thank you. Thank you! Thank you. :D

Remember Sekhmet? The kitty seemed quite comfortable with John. When her owner gets arrested (she couldn't care less, of course), somebody (such as one of the servants) remembers that fact. They contact John and ask him to take Sekhmet home and be her new owner. John isn't quite happy about it, but, eventually, agrees. Why not? Cats don't need that much attention, as log as they are fed, healthy and taken care of. What can go wrong?

Sekhmet moves to 221B.

Like most of John's girls, Sekhmet absolutely loves John, but hates Sherlock. She ruins his experiments, gets angry when he starts playing the violin, finds his cigarette stashes and digs them out for John to see, gets sweet and nice with Mycroft, and so on.

You can go a little bit cracky here. For example, Sherlock deduces that she wants to kill him (or maybe it's just imaginary). John, of course, finds it ridiculous and thinks that Sherlock is in one of his childish moods.

Maybe John manages to get them more tolerable towards each other, but not before some scratching is done and some mice for experiments are eaten.

Platonic John/Sherlock with feelings towards each other is preferable.

Sorry, just wanted to add that, while she hates Sherlock and does bad things to him, Sekhmet is an entirely different kitty for John. She really loves to make herself comfortable on (or in) his jumpers, she's always happy to see him. If he comes back tired after work, she gives his back or legs some relaxing kneading with a lot of purring. In other words, she's a good kitty for John.

Not the OP, but I am the commenter above. I forgot about this fic RTYI:

http://archiveofourown.org/works/497900/chapters/884934

Check out chapter 5.

I'd still like to keep my vote in for other fills. I'm contemplating one but getting hung up on (lack of) medical knowledge.

Just animals? What about plants? I want to see some Sherlock plant fics!

I'd be into that.

~~Don't want to anger the plants by leaving them out. They might stop producing oxygen for us. D:~~

Thank you for the rec! I'll give that story a try for sure.

And if you decide to write your own story, I'll happily read it and I most definitely won't judge your medical knowledge. :)

Yes! That would be awesome!

Sherlock wasn't lying- he really can deduce fortune cookie messages. And sometimes he uses "What would this suspect's fortune say?" to crack cases.

Sherlock stops off at Barts to collect some data or other from Molly, but she isn't in her usual lab. She eventually enters all flustered, and Sherlock opens his mouth to try and deduce her, but just then a positive pregnancy test falls out of her pocket. (Molly and Lestrade have been dating for a while now).

Sherlock can easily see how much this means to her and is thrilled for her. I honestly just love Molly and Sherlock's friendship, and would just love an honest scene of joy between them, e.g could include giggling, hugging, dancing, however you think they would act. Can include some John/Sherlock if you like.

Okay, not literally- I just really need a scene like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkOzJR3i-N0 Something where Sherlock and John are clinging to each other from a great height, and John lets go in order to save Sherlock. Dialogue should mostly match Mulan 2. Make it gut-wrenching.
+1: If Lestrade has to pull a stricken Sherlock out of harm's way, and has to calm him down/comfort him etc.
+2: If John survives.

Yes, I know that was an April Fool's post. Yes, I'm the one who piled on by suggesting plant fic.

You know what? I'm filling it anyway!

Growth Opportunity

“John, this isn’t working!” Sherlock exclaimed, leaning back from his stool at the kitchen counter and running his hands through his curls. “In order to replicate the effects of sunlight on the samples we gathered from the victim, I need to have a source of UV light that approximates that of sunlight! And this blasted cloud cover means I can’t conduct the experiment outside and duplicate the conditions at the scene.”

Just then, Mrs. Hudson stepped through the already-open door from the stairwell, carrying a plate of freshly-baked biscuits and wearing a prim dress sprigged with flowers. “You need a grow light, Sherlock. And a couple of these biscuits. I made them fresh, and you need to eat more.”

“A what, Mrs. Hudson?” Sherlock asked, swiveling to look at her.

“A biscuit, Sherlock,” she answered. “You can’t have deleted that; these are your favorite.”

“No, before the biscuit part,” he said, grabbing the sweet and popping it into his mouth.

“A grow bulb, Sherlock. Come along, I’ll get you one.”

Intrigued, Sherlock followed Mrs. Hudson as she exited the flat and started down the stairs, rubbing absently at her bad hip. John shrugged and got up to follow.

Mrs. Hudson led the boys down to 221C. The smell of damp was faint in the air, and the key stuck a bit in the lock as she opened it. The trio entered the main lounge; it was dim, with peeling wall paper and well-worn carpet, looking very much like the day they found Carl Powers’ shoes in the middle of the floor.

“What does this have to do with…” John started, but Mrs. Hudson shushed him, leading to the single back bedroom in the flat. She opened the door.

All at once, a brilliant light flooded out from the doorway as Mrs. Hudson stepped aside. John and Sherlock looked inside to see row after row of marijuana plants, all carefully tagged with variety and propagation date. Banks of grow lights hung overhead, suspended on chains so that they could be kept a precise distance above the growing plants, and bottles of liquid fertilizer lined the walls. A small table in the corner held a pair of trimmers and a box of small plastic bags.

Mrs. Hudson walked to the small closet and returned with a grow bulb. She handed it to Sherlock.

“Here you are dear.”

For once, Sherlock had nothing to say and instead looked blankly at Mrs. Hudson.

“Well, what did you think, dear?” Mrs. Hudson asked. “I can’t very well afford to own a property in Central London and leave one flat unleased and give the other one to you at a discount, now can I?”

She shooed the boys from the room, closed the door, and hastened them from the flat, which she carefully locked. “It does wonders for my hip,” she said, starting to head back to her own flat. “Now, be dears and wash that plate before you bring it back once the biscuits are gone. I’m not your housekeeper, you know.”

OMG, this is amazing! :D
Sherlock's reaction... LOL
Made my day, thank you!

In many countries lots of elderly people have some sort of kitchen/vegetable gardens. Mrs Hudson's, of course, beats them all, haha! :)) Perfect!

Mycroft says: "Case closed".

yeah, thats the one that i was talking about with the previous prompt from forever ago. i was kind of hoping someone could help me find a new one? so i suppose im just trying to say no rtyi's please. sorry

Mycroft gets extremely fucked up, whether by one of his enemies or Sherlock's. And he's eventually rescued, but not before his confidence has all but left him, and he's a cowering wreck when he's finally free. Sherlock is the only one, outside of Anthea, he allows to get close to him, so Sherlock moves into Mycroft's house while he helps his brother heal. But it's a major struggle for them, because whenever Sherlock intrusively deduces someone, Mycroft starts having a panic attack, because he's thrown back to his captivity, where his torturers could deduce every little thing about him he didn't want them to know, and they threw it in his face. And everytime Sherlock does it to someone else, Mycroft is reminded that his secrets will never be secret again. Sherlock learns to reign himself in, first when Mycroft is around, and then when Mycroft is not.

Preferably a happy ending, where Mycroft builds himself back up, and goes back to being BAMF Big Brother, but it takes a bit of effort to get him there.

Preferred pairings (if you have to use them): Mycroft/Lestrade. Sherlock/Anthea.

I needed a laugh and this was perfect. Thank you!

Mycroft doesn't realize for quite a while after he and Lestrade started dating (and sleeping together) that he talks in his sleep. He only finds out because Lestrade casually mentions something he absolutely, positively SHOULD NOT have been able to know about (matter of severe national security, maybe) and has no idea why Mycroft is so upset that he knows it.

Bonus points: Sherlock stayed with Mycroft for a while (when he was a kid, post-rehab, whatever) and Mycroft suddenly realizes this is how Sherlock "deduced" a bunch of embarrassing stuff about him at the time. Sherlock never told him how he knew because he's a shit like that, and Mycroft spent years freaking out that he was giving something away by mistake somehow and he'd compromise official secrets because of it.

+++++++1

Irene teases Sherlock to break his concentration/ruin his investigation. For fun. She does it by whispering dirty, sensual things into his ear about him and John having sex, because she knows that Sherlock, while he's a virgin, has a secret, guilty desire to have it with John. She also knows that Sherlock mainly fantasises about John dominating and penetrating him, so she creates a rather vivid, detailed picture of it. She gets Sherlock very aroused and then makes him have a mind-blowing orgasm just by telling him all those things, while she's smugly watching him coming undone completely.

It can be a usual verse or an omega verse with Omega!Sherlock, Alpha!John and Alpha!Irene. By the end of the whole thing, Sherlock has a large wet spot on the back and on the front of his trousers. Maybe it's quite dub-conish and Irene uses her Alpha voice to keep Sherlock from trying to leave or block her out, but otherwise is just sensual, not violent.

Pre-johnlock or unresolved johnlock is fine.

UNF. Yes please. Seconding!

Ahaha, cost of living plot-hole filled! Wonderful!

~~And I think you may have prevented a flora rebellion. They'll let us live, for now.~~

OP here! And when I mean alphas not posing as alphas and omegas not posing as omegas, I mean that it can't be someone that actually identifies as an omega posing as an alpha, vice-versa. It can definitely be someone that was described omega at birth and identifies as an alpha or vice-versa, though. Just re-read that and figured it would be confusing c:
