KeelieThompson1
Pairing: John/Sherlock, Mycroft/OMC
Length: 76,922 words
Rating: Teen to Mature
Warnings: Major character death, dub-con
Verse: Sherlock BBC
Author's summary: None provided for the series. Summary for part 1: John is an omega who has been on heat suppressants his entire life. When Sherlock realises this and shows an interest in John, they have to work their way through the problems caused by John having never had a real heat in his life.
Reccer's comments: Another series that sucked me in from this incredibly versatile and prolific author. What starts out as a fairly standard omegaverse first-time fic develops into an emotionally much deeper series chronicling John and Sherlock's life together as a couple and parents of not just one, but eventually four children. It covers the start of their relationship, Reichenbach and the repercussions, life as parents of a disparate brood, and extends into their children's teen and young adult years, and beyond (see: character death warning).
What really made this series special for me is that it doesn't limit itself to the titillation of Alpha/Omega dynamics, but tackles real relationship and family issues. This isn't an idealization of Sherlock and John as offbeat but ultimately model parents, with large-eyed, curly-haired genius children. It feels very real, and Sherlock and John feel like real people. Yes, they are to a certain extent defined by their AU biology, but the author never loses sight of the core characters, and the basic traits that make the very special John-Sherlock connection resonate with such strength in any incarnation only seem to be strengthened.
That night, after the heat, John just thudded into bed next to him as if nothing had happened.
"Will you be sleeping tonight or is this going to turn into how long can you keep me awake by accident?" John asked with a yawn.
He'd expected…anger or tears. Fear.
But John was John. He was never scared or foolish. He was the bravest man that Sherlock knew.
And he was his now. His omega, his human.
His John.
