Previous 221b: Deep Throat


Today's prompt:

________________________________________________


The great pretender


“John, have you ever faked an orgasm while being with me?”

John, by now used to unusual topics like this over breakfast, lowered the paper.

“Where is that coming from all of a sudden?”

“I read about it.”

“Are you browsing these strange discussion boards again?”

“Irrelevant. Could you?”

“What? Fake an orgasm? Yes. I’ve done it occasionally.”

“Why?”

“Depends. To get it over with when it really wasn’t working, or to spare someone’s feelings. Never with you, though.”

“Would you if I asked you?”

“Why would you ask me? Oh, of course. Research.”

“Yes.”

“So what? You want me to fake it next time we’re in bed?”

“No, not next time. I propose that we both do it twice within the next four weeks and see if the other notices.”

“You will never know.”

“You think you are that good?”

“I know I am that good.”

John went back to his breakfast grinning, while Sherlock dove for his laptop to research fake orgasms.

Sherlock actually never found out on what occasions John only pretended to come. John caught Sherlock’s act the first time, because he went a little overboard with his performance. It was, however, extremely arousing to watch him do it and John was pretty sure that had Sherlock been an actor, that would have won him a BAFTA.

Dear heavenly god I love this topic. This topic makes me happy. The idea of Sherlock's 'performance' makes me bang my head on the table. Wait—

—okay back. I literally banged my head on the table. I absolutely *love* it when a man makes noises like that, even when they're just pretending. Sherlock's would possibly kill me.

Also the reference to the BAFTA made me go 'aww' because poor Ben. Good lord he wins *nothing.* Poor baby...

[kestrel337.livejournal.com]

Well, he has sort of won the hearts and dreams and fantasies of several demographic's worth of talented fans...but I guess that's hard to put on the mantel.

[atlinmerrick.livejournal.com]

Very true about our hearts and dreams, also very true about the mantle. I think he should have both, forever and ever.

Soon.

Soon.

Oh, heck, how did I spell a simple one syllable word wrong? Gah, my lizard brain.

[atlinmerrick.livejournal.com]

I write for a living and when I read back some of my grammatically-dubious comments I want to make sure I never ever again tell anyone on earth that I write for a living, because....damn.

So pet your lizard brain, it's doing the best it can!

[kestrel337.livejournal.com]

He just did, Virgin Media Actor of The Year for Sherlock. :-)

I love you! :D

[atlinmerrick.livejournal.com]

Love you back my dear, happy Anarion. Can't wait to see you...soonish?

[anarion.livejournal.com]

I'm most certainly coming for the 'Recruiting Officer' thing! Will go to the museum tomorrow and check the dates, then I could book my flights if you have half a bed for me a few days around that date. :)

[atlinmerrick.livejournal.com]

Did I neglect to say this is a lovely 221B! I did. It is. Thank you for this.

[rox712.livejournal.com]

Let's say that the topic hits really near home and I wasn't quite comfortable reading this. TMI? :-P

Love the sherlock having thinky thoughts tag, BTW.

[anarion.livejournal.com]

There is no TMI for a porn writer I think. ;)

Sorry to hear that though.

[crazycatt71.livejournal.com]

I would pay any amount of money to see that performance.

[anarion.livejournal.com]

Hell yes! I might throw in my firstborn too. ;)

[tracionn.livejournal.com]

You.
Are.
A.
Genius.

This is fantastic and OMG you definitely win all he awards!!!

[anarion.livejournal.com]

Yay, awards! :D

Hey, please tell me when the next Berlin meet-up is! I will definitely try to come. :)

[tracionn.livejournal.com]

Oh awesome!!! I will tell you.

But both my flate mate and me are fan girls, so you are very welocme to come by for a drink or meal and some squees any time! It'll be a mini meet up ;)
Rellay, just pm me and we can arrange it should you like to.

But yes, I'll let you know about the next official meet-up too!

[anarion.livejournal.com]

Yes, I'd love to come by some time! Will pm you. :D

Are you at the 'The Magistrate' screening tomorrow by chance?

[tracionn.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, please do. You'd be welcome any time, really.

And no, sorry, I'm not there tomorrow. Enjoy the play/screening!!

[ledasdaughter.livejournal.com]

LOL right on!

[tamzette.livejournal.com]

I must say, research is the only valid reason I can think of for faking an orgasm... any other reason is just a complete waste of time.

:D

[anarion.livejournal.com]

Isn't it?
Although to be honest, I'd definitely watch Sherlock fake an orgasm for purely selfish reasons. *ahem*

[verityburns.livejournal.com]

Oh, brilliant!

Is it just me who misread that tag as 'sherlock having kinky thoughts'?

If you get low on prompts, can I suggest that one?!

[anarion.livejournal.com]

I'm never low on prompts, but I will squeeze this in just for you! :D

[anarion.livejournal.com]

Also because I really want that tag in my tags!

[verityburns.livejournal.com]

She shoots, she scores!!! The fandom will thank me :D

[anarion.livejournal.com]

She does. :D

Any particular kink you want him to think about?

[verityburns.livejournal.com]

I leave it in your capables, sweetie... it's ALL good :D

[purrculier1.livejournal.com]

“John, have you ever faked an orgasm while being with me?”*Blinks* at incomprehensible question. Remembers it's Anarion.
O.k. I'm game.

You kill me with the dialogue, you really, really do.
“Are you browsing these strange discussion boards again?”“Irrelevant. Could you?”
*giggles* I can hear their voices. You are disgustingly tallented, yes, yes, you are.
“You will never know.”
“You think you are that good?”
“I know I am that good.”
And Confident John is always a gooood thing.
Sherlock actually never found out on what occasions John only pretended to come. John caught Sherlock’s act the first time, because he went a little overboard with his performance. It was, however, extremely arousing to watch him do it and John was pretty sure that had Sherlock been an actor, that would have won him a BAFTA.
There is absolutely nothing in that paragraph that does not win the all internets and cause rainbow winged kittens to spontaneously appear. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!
*Shaking my head* at the wonders of where your mind wanders with these prompts. Fake orgasms conversation from BAFTA. Your brain should be a national treasure. TRUE FACT.

[chocolamousse.livejournal.com]

“Why would you ask me? Oh, of course. Research.”
Obviously.

Sherlock actually never found out on what occasions John only pretended to come.
So it means that on two occasions John had no orgasm? This 221B is so depressing. :D But the idea of Sherlock going a little overboard with his performance is not depressing at all. Oh no.

It was, however, extremely arousing to watch him do it and John was pretty sure that had Sherlock been an actor, that would have won him a BAFTA.
I hope it's not a suggestion to Benedict.

[tialangela.livejournal.com]

Yes! A BAFTA! Come on, Mofftiss! We need this scene in SH-S3, so Benny can win a BAFTA!
