Due Diligence by PrettyArbitrary for airynothing

Summary
A bloke built up frustrations, dealing with the sort of nuttery that Sherlock Holmes brought to the job. Which was why Greg liked to ask John over to his place at the close of a Holmes-populated case. The stacks of closing paperwork cleared out a lot easier with memories of John moaning in knots of rope to keep him company.

Summary
Life demands more than observation from a distance, and John has never cared what Sherlock knows about him, so with no pretense he begins licking the blood out of the defensive cuts on his own forearms, setting the cuts to fresh stinging.

Summary
Married off at 17, John's spent his adult life surviving his psychopathic demon of a husband. Jim wants John to carry his kids just as much as John doesn't. It's a hell of a balancing act, but John's managing to make it work...till Jim's new obsession, Sherlock Holmes, comes on the scene and fucks things up for everybody.

Summary
Don't you dare look down your nose at John Watson for his service. He's proud to be an army omega. You'll never know how good he has it.
100% non-problematically consensual and largely non-angst-ridden omegaverse, because world-building is cool and this freaking setting won't stop building itself in my head.
Yeah, yeah, knots, heat, whatever. BUT. BUT. GENDER ISSUES AND SOCIAL CONSTRUCTS. Priorities, I has them.
It started out for a prompt.

Bookmarker's Notes
Sherlock as a siren and John as a lighthouse-keeper, and the way they negotiate their differences. The language is STUNNING, as sensual as the images it sketches.

Summary
Because words were magic, because they only would come out when they had the right feel and sound, he couldn’t say simple things like: Dad, leave Harry alone for once or Hey, Amy, do you fancy coming out to dinner with me?

Bookmarker's Notes
I don't even know how to explain how this is so good. It's poetry. It's not, really, in rhyme and scansion, but it's painting with words, splashes of light and color that don't tell you how the world looks but what lies underneath it. John is a man who can only speak in poem. Fortunately Sherlock is an excellent translator.

Summary
John Watson is left-handed.
He’s tried not to let it affect his life, but as any Lefty knows, that’s almost impossible.

Sherlock is a god, and John is his *very faithful* follower. *wink wink nudge nudge* :D

Summary
It started with a message, a late-night visit, and a God of Mischief in Tony's bed. A story of trust, trickery, unwilling aid and inevitable attraction.

Wow, just realized I don't have this masterpiece bookmarked.
So BASICALLY this is the best Avengers story ever. It's chaos, madness, and perfection.
