Due Diligence by PrettyArbitrary for airynothing
Sherlock (TV), Sherlock Holmes & Related Fandoms
21 Apr 2013

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.

Sherlock's a bit of a dick about the omega thing, but then he's a bit of a dick about everything. Even so, John doesn't venture where he knows he's not wanted.
