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.

John has to bottle-feed and sometimes spoon-feed Sherlock. I prefer a serious reason behind it rather than a kink. For example, it's because Sherlock is struggling with an eating disorder, and it is the only way to deal with it every time it gets worse. A lot of John's care, comfort, some coaxing and gentle touching in the process are more than welcome, but I prefer no baby play (I don't mind a little bit of it though). While it's not a kink, I'd love it to be quite an intimate thing for them.

Non-sexual or not all-the-way sexual John/Sherlock would be great. Just very close friendship is okay, too.

(couldn't really resist giving this a try- i love the prompt! i hope you like it and i'll hopefully be adding to it soon!)

It had all started, as most things in 221b do, with Sherlock having a sulk. A massive, stomp-over-furniture and curl-up-into-a-ball sulk. John had tried everything from begging Lestrade for a case to phoning up Molly for some dismembered fingers and even went so far as suggesting a game of Cluedo, all to no avail.

Finally, John had officially given up, ordered some Chinese and wedged himself between Sherlock and the sofa to watch some telly.

Now, John watched as Sherlock silently shuffled closer, plopped his head into his lap and grouchily squished his face up against John’s belly. Aside from his sour mood, Sherlock could actually be kind of adorable when he was sulking.

Of course, John knew what the problem at the center of this black mood was, and had reminded Sherlock numerous times, but still the detective refused to eat at regular intervals. He knew that if Sherlock improved his eating habits even just a little, his moods swings would be far less severe and he’d be able to think clearer.

At this point, John felt like he’d tried just about everything, and he wasn’t entirely sure what to do next aside from possibly suggesting Sherlock try therapy, but that would no doubt end up being a very long discussion, one John knew Sherlock was definitely not up for at the moment.

As John ate his food and tried to think up new ways to get Sherlock to eat his, he began to notice that something was off. It felt like Sherlock had…relaxed, like he was no longer a tight ball of tension on top of him. John looked down at him, expecting to see his face still scrunched up and was completely caught off guard to see Sherlock looking up at him with a soft, almost sad expression.

“Sherlock, love, what’s wrong?” John asked, turning the volume down on the telly for the moment.

“Nothing,” Sherlock breathed, staring at the plate of food in John’s hand.

Oh, oh.

“Did you want some?” he asked gently, hopefully letting Sherlock know that he wouldn’t be cross if he said no.

Sherlock continued to look at the food and bit his bottom lip, seeming suddenly bashful and unsure of himself.

“Hey, just a little bite, yeah? No big deal,” John reassured, cutting a small piece of chicken to put on his fork.

“A-alright,” he agreed quietly, and John smiled as he slowly put the food near Sherlock’s lips and waited for him to reach up and take the chicken into his mouth.

“Good?” John asked after Sherlock stopped chewing.

“Mm, s’good. Thank you.” His voice was much calmer now, the tired and faintly gravelly tone it always took when he would come down from a bad mood.

“You can have more, if you like; I’m not gonna finish all this.” John began cutting more little pieces just in case he wanted it.

“Well, I suppose that’d be alright,” Sherlock practically mumbled. John took that as a yes and held some more chicken out for him.

He picked up the remote and turned the volume back up, suddenly filled with the hope that if he acted like most of his focus was on the TV and he didn’t make a big deal about feeding Sherlock or the fact that he was finally eating, that Sherlock would simply continue to eat without complaint.

And so the evening went on with John making various comments about the programme they were watching and Sherlock voicing his opinions with vigor, all while happily accepting the food John put by his mouth. After that, it didn’t take long for John to notice Sherlock getting sleepy, and so he put their almost empty plate aside, tugged the afghan off the back of sofa and laid it over Sherlock, staying with him while he slept.

Awwww... I love this!

OP here. This is perfect! Thank you. I hope to read more of this soon. :)
