mermaidjohn 1

[etothepii]

1. John is one of those dark bitey dangerous mermaids from proper mythology, the kinds fishermen are afraid of. And, see, that's how they get away from the pool -- John jumps in and he brings Sherlock and he breathes fine underwater (even though the chlorine hurts his gills (they disappear and reappear as needed)) and he sorta magics Sherlock alive in the water because Mermaids like eating their prey alive

except there's no nice way for john to be like "yeah she's a mermaid i just know this, let's shove her back into the water she'll be fine she probably lives there", so it's awkward and tense and she tries to seduce sherlock (it doesn't work), and then later tries to convince him to go into the water

heee! That was so much fun to read. :D John as a fierce mermaid has quite a lot of appeal ^^.

Longtime lurker, first-time poster, hi!

Sherlock Pirate AU, because I'm obsessed with that brand of AU. RUM AND SWORDS FOR EVERYONE.

[etothepii]

HI I DONT KNOW IF YOU SAW THIS BUT

http://etothepii.livejournal.com/9016.html?thread=653112#t653112 that's the one where sherlock is a pirates of the caribbean mermaid and john is a member of the royal navy

So um a pirate AU would be the continuation of that (CONFIDENTIAL CONFIDENTIAL i'm not really writing it right now but it's feasible that i might at one point), the part where john pretends to be a pirate and sherlock pretends to be a pirate and they are fake undercover pirates together (but from different sides, going for the same goal).

FEEL FREE TO GIVE ME A DIFF PROMPT

HO SHIT, HAD NOT. JOHN IS AN AWESOME PRIVATEER.

Okay, any of these?

- Chef AU (Lestrade would be Bourdain, this I believe in my soul, but what about John and Sherlock?)
- Faerie AU (like LKH's Merry Gentry, if it didn't suck)
- Star Trek AU (and you would have my undying gratitude if Sherlock WASN'T A FUCKING VULCAN JESUS. Also, if it weren't just a retread of the reboot movie, because c'mon, Mycroft as Q? Sherlock as a Changeling or a Bajoran? Grouchy chief engineer Lestrade?)

Variation on a meme prompt

[shezan]

Slave AU in which Sherlock has been indentured for breaking too many rules. (His family think it may finally bring him to heel.) John is an officer in a military hospital who wins him in a card game - he's back from colonial wars with an injury and he's bored working in England, so he makes up for a bad NHS salary by playing poker and backgammon. John isn't sure he wanted to win a slave (what would he do with him? apart from the fact that he hopes against hope he can go back to Afghanistan, where he felt he made a difference) but he realises Sherlock has been ill-treated; so takes him home. Which at first isn't such a success - there's mistrust on both sides.

oh god i hate slave aus i'm sorry bb like they always seem really sketchy and i really hate the idea of people as property, that's seriously really something that bothers me

Re: Variation on a meme prompt

[etothepii]

like yeah i don't know, i feel like really being forced to do things against his will would really grind down sherlock and make him really vastly different from how he currently is, and also make him really, really unhappy and worn out and different

LOVE THIS! I picked up on a kinkmeme prompt, but this was for you to RUN with it, AND YOU HAVE! Shall read anything you think up!!!!

cool meme bro

[call_me_ishmael]

John and Sherlock meet as teenagers. Sure it's been done 999999999 times but I'm curious what you'd do.

John is John Constantine from Hellblazer. Or related to him. Or something. (I have no idea if you even know Hellblazer but figured it'd be worth a shot.)

Sherlock AU with Ender's Game or Battlestar Galactica. (More long shot crossovers, woo.)

Re: cool meme bro

[etothepii]

OH GOD I HAVEN'T READ HELLBLAZER BUT I SURE AS HELL HAVE SEEN BSG.

Re: cool meme bro

[etothepii]

also bro we should chat more and stuff do you use gchat <33333

Re: cool meme bro

[etothepii]

and john is like "i cant tell anyone else this but i guess you dont count because you dont know me, but my parents are getting a divorce

*waves hello*

So, because I have a totally strange brain, and because I love prompt requests, and because I love what you've done with some of your AU fics:

1) Your Addams Family AU: John's out shopping. Sherlock's home bored. And Thing comes to visit, unannounced. Double bonus if Thing has a thing for violins. ;-)

2) Your D/S AU - I've always been curious, after J and S are in an established 'you gave me your bracelet' relationship, what happens if someone hurts John during a case? I'm guessing Sherlock's reaction isn't going to be that of a typical sub, 'cause he's not exactly typical anything.

Have at (or not), and have fun!

[etothepii]

1. the thing would have to come out of a box because that's how he travels, so i guess he'd do that and sherlock woudl at first think "oh is that john's hand" and then instantly realize "no john's hand doesn't look like that" and be confused

and then thing would probs sign some sort of "hi just here for a visit" message and sherlock would be all nice a chuffed and liek "oh cool" and probably pick him up a lot until thing started swearing at him

thing can't play a violin there's only one of him.

[methylviolet10b]

Hee! Thing swearing in sign at Sherlock is awesome. :-D I can totally see that, as well as Sherlock being utterly blase about the havok. :-D

This was cool!
