sherlockbbc_fic | 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.

Sherlock is not normal (I don't mean it as something bad, it's not for me to judge ;) ), so why his relationship with John should be what's generally considered normal? I absolutely love this pairing, I don't even see it any other way, but more often than not, when I read stories about them as a couple, it just feels a bit wrong to me when Sherlock enters a relationship with John as if it's a usual thing for him. I tend to believe Irene's words about his virginity and Mycroft's words that sex alarms him.

So what I want is not quite a usual relationship. Sherlock and John rarely touch each other in a loving/sexual way on public (touching in friendly or protective ways are fine though). And when they have their privacy, Sherlock always has to brace himself for the first touches. He just needs time to calm and prepare himself for it every time (no sexual violence in the past, please, but maybe it has a lot to do with the asperger). Then he just slowly relaxes and is ready for more. Sometimes they just quietly lie in bed with some distance between them and there's no touching, and when Sherlock is ready, he just moves closer to John and they can snuggle up.

Most of those things never change even though they have sex on a regular basis. Bonus points if Sherlock is insecure and worried that John would decide it's not worth the trouble and leave.

The first time they have sex, John has to be very patient with Sherlock (maybe Sherlock gets overwhelmed and panicky a few times) and, afterwards, he needs quite some time to process the new experience. Sherlock is mostly asexual (though he can often get slightly aroused and enjoy their closeness anyway (maybe he also enjoys having John's semen inside him when it's over, the very idea of it feels... nice)), but sometimes he does get hard and it feels okay for him to come. They do have sex pretty often though. Sherlock doesn't mind that John is sexual, and is flattered that John wants him, and his body is a source of John's pleasure, John, in turn, is okay with Sherlock not-quite-asexuality-but-close.

Maybe at first it's a bit hard for John to get used to the whole thing (not to mention that he has to learn Sherlock's body language to avoid uncomfortable situations), but he can also see that it's hard for Sherlock, too; the both of them have to make adjustments and compromises. Also, John has long accepted that Sherlock is unusual, he's known it from the start, so...

Before their relationship start Sherlock also needs to come to terms with the fact that he's deeply in love with John, and this alone is a new and frightening experience for him.

Somehow they make it work and are happy.

I need to read this fanfic. Could someone write it, please?

I think this fic hits all of my headcannons/favourite tropes, I'm a little in love with it!
Thirded, really hope someone writes this!

To be quite honest, this sounds more normal than any of the "normal-relationship" fics I've read

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!!!
