Prompting Part XXXVII

[sherlockbbc_fic]

This is the new prompting post for the Sherlock Prompting Meme. Prompts from LJ can still be filled there with links here or filled here in the new overflow post.

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
Your mods for this meme are ellie_hell, charname, anonspock and anonbach. If you have any questions, concerns, comments about anything at all on the meme feel free to contact us via the Page-A-Mod post.

Fill Night Song 5

“No!”

This small being would not die if John could have anything to do with it! He lifted the cot in one quick motion and scooped up the still form beneath it. He kicked the bed back into position and lay his unconscious patient down. He began emergency procedures; checking airways, heart rate, blood pressure… looking for signs of external bleeding, internal bleeding, concussion... He grasped for the medical kit on the top of his pack and tore it open; pulling out oxygen and a fluid drip. Working at lightning speed, easy for him after many years of treating the injured in the worst of conditions, he had everything necessary in place and attached to his patient within seconds.

Once all was done that could be for the moment, John sat down on the bed holding an oxygen mask over the nose and mouth of the now breathing but still unconscious omega. With one hand on the mask, he pressed the fingers of his other hand against the inside of the thin wrist lying on the blanket and studied his patient for the first time.

There was no doubt that the creature he was treating was a human; not an elf as he had begun to assume from their brief conversation. Unsure of his patient’s gender initially, his quick examination had confirmed that he was a boy, not a girl as the delicate bone and muscle structure and the fineness of the skin−where skin was visible between streaks of dirt and, in some places, blood − had suggested.

John probed his mystery patient’s ankle carefully; it was swollen and twisted, certainly sprained, if not broken. The omega was severely dehydrated too; this was the likely cause of unconsciousness and the racing heartbeat. He was also extremely thin; John added malnourished to the list of diagnoses.

As the seconds passed, an unfamiliar emotion began to steal over John. Of all the men, women and children, military or civilian, that he had treated, operated on, cured, or saved, somehow it was becoming increasingly important to him, more so than it ever had been, that this one boy, this barely-alive creature beneath his hands, should live. He sat in stillness staring down at the youth, willing him not to give in to his injuries and illness. He had a sense that for this patient, medical science would not be the determining factor between life and death; that something else was needed. The sensation was so strong that almost without realizing it, he began to do something he hadn’t done in many years; he began to pray. He prayed not for safe passage from this world into the next that the youth had asked of him, but instead for the boy’s life to be saved. Silently he recited the heartfelt request to Eallwealdend, the omnipotent God of his grandmother’s conviction, and too, to his beloved ealdmóder herself. If anyone would hear his prayer it would be her. He smiled. His certainty grew as he repeated the not-forgotten words that his grandmother had taught him, into the night like a silent song.
