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.

Totally agree! I don't understand why Sherlock's character is not even taken into consideration when people write about him having a relationship. Irene, Moriarty, Mycroft and Sherlock himself were perfectly clear about his personal life. As a friend he's very peculiar and more often than not doesn't look like a good friend at all but as a lover he's suddenly normal or even experienced? That's why I prefer reading very genish johnlock or pure gen. But if somebody fills this prompt I'll read the hell out of it!!!

John watched him continue to struggle with angles and found himself wincing along, in a sort of empathy, and tore himself away. This was beyond strange. He headed to the kitchen, but then found himself stopping after just a few steps.

"Sherlock?"

"Yes?"

"Is this a... Do you want anything from me? I mean, yes, I understand you are trying to reach a spot and are having a difficult time with it. That much is obvious. But do you want...is this a prelude to wanting some sort of sexual relationship with me?"

"No, John. No, I don't want a sexual relationship with you. This is not an experiment, as intriguing a concept as that might seem, nor is it a staged attempt to gauge your interest. The tension and relaxation of the muscles feel good. It is no more a sexual feeling for me then a back rub." His voice was tinged with annoyance. In that sense, I suppose all touch is potentially sexual, but, that's not what I'm after. Not going for an orgasm, or even arousal. So both you and the sofa would be equally safe from my semen."

John laughed, and then grew suddenly more serious. "But, you can come, right? I mean, I ask as a concerned medical professional. You are physically capable?"

"Yes, I'm entirely capable-- the plumbing is fine. I'm just also entirely disinterested-- the vast majority
of the time."

"I see. All right. I'll...I'll be right back."

John headed to the bathroom, washed his hands, splashed his face for good measure, and grabbed a glove from a box stashed under the sink. He called out, "Do you have any lubricant?"

"Nothing specifically for that purpose, no," came the response.

John headed up to his room for his own supply. When he came back, it was to a spectacular view of Sherlock's paler than pale arse sliding off the sofa and his right leg strewn over the top of it. Had it been a woman, John would be having a entirely different reaction. As it was, he felt a pang of regret that he wasn't finding this the least bit erotic. He then reminded himself that was, in fact, a good thing... an ideal thing... as neither of them wanted a sexual component to their relationship. And he had to admit, the whole situation was pretty amusing.

"Sherlock Holmes, you look ridiculous, and that can't be remotely comfortable. Now lie down on your stomach, and slide up your robe. Please."

Sherlock responded, with lightning speed.

"All right then, so, how do you want me to do this? Perineum, you said."

"I'm not especially sensitive, so you needn't concern yourself with taking it too far. I'm sure whatever you would normally do is fine?"

"I don't normally, uh.."

"John. It's your own body. It's no more a gay act than touching your own penis would be."

John just shook his head. "I guess I was just the wrong age for the great butt sex revolution, Sherlock. I know my way around though, don't worry."

"Not worried. Just suggesting you might be missing out. A significant percentage of men have reported that..."

"Sherlock! I'll ask the asexual for sex tips later, should I ever need completely unverrified advice."

"Misconceptions, John..."

"Look," John said, holding out his gloved index finger, "Do you want this in you or not?"

"I think I made it absolutely clear that I most certainly do."

"Well then, shut up before I change my mind." That earned absolute silence. Good.

Thank you! Almost done

( Mycroft says "my bad"...he must be apologizing for suggesting sausages)

John warmed the lubricant in the palm of his hand before scooping some onto his gloved fingers, and ran it just above Sherlock's bollocks. Just skin. Just a sensitive patch of skin. "Is it warm enough? Oh, oh, sorry I didn't mean don't talk at all. I meant don't tell me how to improve my wanking technique. Is it okay?"

"The temperature is perfect, John. But if you could press little more firmly?"

John pushed deeper against his skin.

"Thank you. If you continue with this motion, pressing deeper as my skin gets more pliant, you can avoid the need for any penetration. The prostate can be sufficiently stimulated externally, for my purposes."

"Do you want me to avoid penetration?"

Sherlock blushed slightly. "No. No, I actually quite enjoy feeling my muscles tighten and release around my finger."

"Then we will see if you can achieve the same effect with mine."

Sherlock melted into the sofa. John could see the tension already draining from his frame. "Ok, I'm going to try it now. Just the one?"

"Mmmmm hmmmm."

He gathered some more lubricant and found himself momentarily starting at the bright blue glove. He shifted his gaze back to Sherlock, who was resting comfortably. So many times he had done this in a clinical setting, but this was...different. It still wasn't sexual. Sherlock was right about that. But it was intimate. Tender. Well, loving, dammit, it was loving. He peeled off the glove.

Sherlock raised his head slightly at the sound, but John had already placed both hands on Sherlock's hips, forgetting about the lubricant already on his palm, which smeared onto his skin, in his eagerness to reassure him he wasn't going anywhere.

"Just let me know if I need to slow it down, okay?"

Sherlock nodded, and lay back down again.

John took more lubricant and rubbed his hands together rapidly for warmth, then spread him open and ran his palm along the inside, reverently. As he ran his index finger in a gentle circle around Sherlock's entrance, John watched the skin quickly tighten and release.

"Ohhh, y... thank you, John."

"It's fine. You don't have to censor your language. I've had a really good massage or two in my lifetime and if anyone had been listening in, they would have sworn I was getting the fucking of a lifetime. Making noises that sound sexual isn't going to suddenly make me think it is turning sexual. I get it. Should I angle up for your prostate?"

"Along the side, just until you can feel my muscles contract. Direct contact would be uncomfortable."

"All right. I can do that." John started far to the left and moved slowly towards centre. "There. Got it."

Sherlock let out a small groan. "Yes, perfect."

"Light, steady, rhymic touch. I can see how it would be relaxing, this."

"Mmmmmm."

"Can I touch your back?"

"Mmmm hmmmm."

John ran his hand lightly across the dip in Shelocks back, feeling the warmth, the pliant muscle, and continued the pace. When he felt the slow, steady clench and unclench of tightening muscle, John smiled. As the rate of contraction speeded up and Sherlock's breathing increased slightly, John slowed his movements down, sliding his finger further left again. No need for Sherlock to speak a word. He's got this. Got him. Got this pile of soft muscle and bones lying on the sofa without a trace of pain.

"S'good, John."

"I've got you, Sherlock."

A mumbled response sounded a lot like "always".

Sherlock disappears for 6 months and is later found wandering London in a daze, now completely obsessed with solving puzzles, not of the crime variety. Whoever had him, forced him to solve puzzle after puzzle, some which resulted in physical harm, many of which were timed. Not solving these in time resulted in punishment. Sherlock refuses to talk about what happened, so it's up to those few people close to him to figure out who held him and what, exactly, happened.

Prefer gen for this, but I'm partial to Sherlock/John if pairing wanted.

awww, that wound up being really sweet! you did a lovely job capturing an encounter that might look like sex but not be particularly sexual.

Hi Fellow Nonnies!

I would love if someone would write a story which John has a son who is incredibly protective of John.

Say if Sherlock was gone for longer than three years - maybe something like ten? During this time, John got in a relationship with someone (could be Mary?) and this relationship swiftly turned both physically and mentally abusive. John always made sure his son wasn't hurt/touched and tried to prevent him from overhearing the majority of the arguments etc. Someone (Lestrade/Mycroft?) eventually realised what was happening and intervened, but John has changed greatly. Is much quieter/less confident. Potentially leery of physical contact, but I'd prefer if he was too proud to let that show easily.

Queue Sherlock's return. He goes to find John who is obviously shocked by this. His son appears (who Sherlock didn't know about - maybe didn't stop off to speak with Mycroft or something, and was too excited to read the signs that John has a child?) and kicks at Sherlock's shin or something. Is visibly hugely protective of his Dad. Physically stands in between John and Sherlock, glares at him constantly, that sort of thing.

It isn't that he doesn't like Sherlock, per say, but is just incredibly protective of his Dad.
Lots of internet kudos if you write this for me oh-ever-so-wonderful Nonnies!

(Sorry, forgot to add if Sherlock and John do get into a relationship then I'd prefer bottom!John please - thanks.)

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

Unlike John and Sherlock, I find this extremely sexy. At the same time, I can't help feeling that the two are in love even though they aren't compatible sexually.
Great story!

seconded :D

+1 This could be interesting.

Thank you!
I did too, which is why I'm not entirely sure I hit the mark.
And I do think they are very much in love, regardless of sexual compatibility.

For the 10000000000000th time somebody assumes they are a couple. They are tipsy, so they find it especially hilarious. They laugh and giggle and tell each other what good friends they are, how they couldn't have been happier that they are just friends, best friends ("Let me hug you, mate!"), how everybody is stupid and can't observe ("Hug me again, John!"), how John isn't gay, and, damn, they are such good friends... and hahaha, everyone's stupid!

Only, once they are really drunk and still praising one another for being a good friend, they end up in bed (/on the floor/on the sofa). And have sex.

Top!John, please.

If Sherlock ends up pregnant, I'm totally okay with that, omegaverse or not. Though, of course, it's not necessary at all.

This is the definition of relevant. Thank you so much!!!!

Read Waterlogged at:http://archiveofourown.org/works/3921808

No problem :D

OP here. Thank you so much! This is a great fill, even better than I imagined. :)

Based on the theory that John was kidnapped and put in the bonfire to see if he is still Sherlock's weak spot. The same idea but Lestrade.

After Moriarty successfully used Lestrade (amongst others) to get to Sherlock, someone decides to do it again. But first the need to check is after the years apart, Lestrade is still Sherlock's weak spot so they kidnap him and put him in danger to see what Sherlock does.

Only the result is better than that. It turns out Lestrade is Mycroft's Achilles heel. Would love some good Lestrade whump as the enemy tries to control the British Government.

I would love to see this prompt fulfilled, basically because I can so see this happening! Also, I love insecure!Sherlock a looottt!!

i seem to have writen such a story accidentally, check out 'Trust' by Blackberry at AO3, not finished yet, though.

wow, i don't know how this works at all, sorry in case this is here twice. never did this before.

i found this post due to boton's wonderful story watson's war and noticed that i have started a story that accidentally fits the prompt.

check out 'trust' by blackberry at AO3.

it's not finished yet, there are about three more chapters ahead.

gen, h/c, emergency surgery, chloroform, ptsd flashback, etc.

OP here. Thanks for the rec! Once I found the story, I realised that I'm actually subscribed to it! I was just waiting for it to be complete to start reading. But I can't keep myself from reading it now that I know that it's clearly my cup of tea, thanks to your description. Even though it's a WIP, I'm going to read it anyway. :)

i sort of see this as a 5 times fic but if you want to fill write whatever strikes your fancy!

John and Sherlock can go from platonic flat mates to devoted gay partners in 3 seconds flat. They have it down to such an art they don't even need to plan or code word anymore - the other has cottoned on before they get chance. And as soon as its wrapped up they just take a step away and BAM platonic friends return As if they never left.

I can see this being useful (and funny) in so many situations - cases, undercover work, oh crap save me from that persons flirting..........

I would love to see something from Lestrades POV. I can imagine him being so baffled and not knowing what to the think.

If you want to make it five times it was pretend and one time it wasn't that's fine, but I can see it being more funny if at the end John trots out a long term girlfriend at some social gathering who is totally aware and finds people's reactions hilarious.

But if any part of this inspires you go with it, I don't need the full recipe I'm just throwing out ideas :D

(Mycroft says take umbrage - how very appropriate)

aaaaaand THIRDED! *on my knees and begging*
