Prompting Part XXXVI

[sherlockbbc_fic]

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.

CONTACTING MODS

Unrequited John/Sherlock, John/Mary. A/B/O. Mental health issues. Omega!Sherlock. Kidnapping. Trauma

[(Anonymous)]

Sherlock has been through hell during his time away. It has taken a bit longer than two years though. By the time he comes back John is already married to Mary (to Sherlock's dismay) and they have a baby.

Maybe Alpha!John and Omega!Sherlock were bonded before the fake suicide, but the bond is broken now, maybe there's never been any bond, just Sherlock in love with John (or some kind of a one-sided bond).

Sherlock tries his best to have a life he's once had, maybe there's a tense, awkward friendship with John when John at least tries to forgive him. They can have cases again. Also, Sherlock adores John's baby. She's perfect, warm and smells right. She's also John's.

But things don't go well at all. Sherlock has a serious case of PTSD and fails to fit into this new life (plus, the broken bond, if there's ever been one). He's dealing with serious mental health problems that he tries his best to hide.

One day he has a breakdown. He kidnaps John's baby and runs away with her. He considers her his now. He takes care of her properly though; she's always well-fed, clean and loved (though he probably gets scared and very upset if she starts crying. Maybe he cries with her). Bonus points if, due to his hormonal problems (which can partly be responsible for his mental problems), he starts producing milk and can feed "his and John's" baby properly.

Meanwhile, John and Mary, the panicked parents, are trying to find their girl.

Either Mycroft or John and Mycroft together find Sherlock eventually. Sherlock won't give the girl back, maybe begs them not to take her away. Please, understanding John when he realises what's going on. And even if Sherlock is placed into some mental facility, John keeps supporting him as a friend.

A lot of angst, please. I don't care if the ending is more or less okay or very sad.
