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 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.

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.

“John Hamish Watson. You have always been there for me, and I’m grateful for that. You’ve helped me solve impossible murders and stopped me from shooting walls. John, will you do me the honour of marrying me?” Sherlock pooped open the box.
John Looked at the ring, eyes full of tears, but his face soon dropped when he noticed whose ring it was. “Janine.”
“What?” Sherlock asked, looking slightly confused.
“That,” he pointed at the ring “Is the same ring you used to propose to Janine with.” John had a real look of hurt in his eyes.
“Well, I didn’t see the need to buy a new one? And it’s just a piece of metal to show we have engaged in a ceremony.” Sherlock didn’t really consider the fact that it was Janine’s ring before he presented it. “Why does it bother you so much?”
“Because at the moment Sherlock, I’ feeling like a second option that gets all the second hand stuff.” Johns temper was starting to rise.
Sherlock came up off one knee so he was standing in front of John. “I promise you I shall by you a new one, just please be my husband?”
John took a deep breath and node his head with a smile. Sherlock immediately hugged john, not something he did every day.
“Love you.”
“Love You too.”
End.
