John is the Omega
Tumblr media
The Fly-Half in Silks by DemonicSymphony, 4 k, explicit. Omegaverse. Sherlock Holmes is a teacher at a prestigious boarding school when omega John Watson comes to teach part time and coach rugby. Predictably, sparks fly.
Mine by orphan_account (PlainJane), 6 k, explicit.  John is an omega in hiding, Sherlock is a reluctant alpha and Mycroft is a bastard. After Sherlock and John are forced into mating and bonding, Sherlock runs away, and John is given his life back. Amazingly enough, they meet again years later.
Mine, too by PlainJane, 9 k, explicit. John’s knocked up, Sherlock’s figuring it all out and Mycroft may not be such a bastard after all.
A Fold in the Universe by darkest_bird, 152 k, explicit. Omegaverse. This is an amazing plotty, parallel universe, action-packed tour-de-force fic. With a premise to rival any top SF movie, this story has John Watson switching worlds between a prime universe, and Wacky World – an omegaverse universe that turns things upside for him. Thumbs up – so well done!
Fight for It by Leloi, 3 k, explicit. John awakens in someone’s bed while in heat. It seems the Holmes brothers are both intent on claiming the same Omega.
Getting Sherlock by thecoventryconundrum, 4 k, teen. Alpha!Sherlock and Omega!John have been dancing around each other for ages. Sherlock refuses make the first move so they can start a relationship and when John tries, Sherlock rebuffs him. Then John gets a brilliant idea. He starts flirting with simply everyone.
Ours by keeliethompson1, 7 works, teen to mature. With angst and plot complications, Omega!John and Alpha!Sherlock work their way together. Mpreg and relationship ups and downs.
RFU series by okbutjustthisonce, this unrated series runs the gamut from sexy mpreg kink to sweet parentlock, both hot and adorable! John is pregnant AGAIN, and his moony-eyed alpha is protective and besotted. Thumbs up. (Locked to AO3)
Every precious failure and amateur cartography, by kenopsia, 22k words, mature. John is an omega used to riding out his heats alone. He’s always got his big sis, Harry, an alpha watching his back when he needs it.  John worries though when his complicated roommate, Sherlock doesn’t clear out of the flat when his heat kicks in. This is a lovely queer, lesbian-style relationship that unfolds despite misunderstandings and hurdles along the way. You get wild sex and “does he really like me” at the same time! Sexy and sweet.
(In)Formal by TheMadKatter13, 21 K words, explicit. Sherlock is an alpha who has jilted all his would-be mates over the past several years. John is an omega on a much lower social rung, but when the families bring them together for a meeting, sparks fly.  All sorts of side characters make an appearance for an interesting ride.
The Illusion of Control series by starrysummernights, 17 works, explicit. John hates being an Omega, and works hard to make his way in the world. When he asks Alpha!Sherlock to help him with his heats as a friend, things get complicated fast. Oh, poor sad dears. This is part of a wonderful series that watches the two navigate their relationship with John as a Dom, and Sherlock as his Sub despite their genders. (Locked to AO3.)
Taking the Fee by bobross, 6 k, explicit. PWP Omegaverse fun. This story is medical kink – a pelvic exam and MORE for Omega John, and though it comes across as “dubcon” the author hints, and explains in the notes, that this is really a role-playing situation between partners.
Dilaudid by Lintilla, 62 k, explicit. Alpha!Sherlock and Omega!John. This was one of the most interesting, ploty omegaverse fics I’ve ever read. Only males are A and O, and omegas are treated like glass and bound as soon as possible to an alpha. John manages to live his life passing as a beta on hormone suppressants that his pharmacist father developed. So many plot twists, and rocky stops and starts between John and Sherlock, and such clever reworking of canon throughout the story. Wow. This was an amazing fic, and such a wild ride. Thumbs and toes up.
The Liquid Measure of Your Steps by mazarin221b, 8 k, explicit. Omegaverse with an interesting twist – Omegas hold Alphas in thrall to their powers of attraction. While investigating the death of a young alpha at a strip club, Alpha Sherlock, and Omega John discover each other. Friends to lovers. Scent kink and competency kink. Sweet and hot. (Title from a Neruda poem.)
Drouk by Alma_Anor, 16 k, explicit. Omegaverse. High angst as Alpha Moriarty takes Alpha Sherlock and Omega John captive to play with them. Some violence and sexual assault until they are rescued. This fic is dark in parts with a mostly happy ending. So much of what it means to love someone – to care about them more than you care about yourself comes through here. (The title means “drenched” in Brit slang.) Warnings for noncon.
Wasted Hours by songlin, almost 5 k, explicit. John is an omega, and while his flatmate is an alpha, they’ve bumped along fine together, until John wishes they were more than just friends. Through grand miscommunication, Sherlock thinks John wants him to stay away, while John is actually pining desperately for him. The trauma of a kidnapping finally clears the air.
Serviceman series by prettyarbitrary, 4 works, mature & explicit. John is a rare Omega who worked in the military with his unit, a tribe of alphas who looked out for him. When he and Sherlock, a reluctant Alpha, become flatmates, John is willing to stay out of Sherlock’s way when he goes into heat. Sherlock finally admits he wants to bond with John in all ways possible. Several of the fics are John’s time in the army before. HOT stuff.

*¬* My god have mercy on me... 
Tumblr media
“What does the rest of you taste like?” His voice sounds raw to his own ears. Sherlock’s not used to all these inconvenient feelings associated with sex. Feelings are difficult, heartbreaking, consuming. But he’d known the moment he saw John’s compact body moving assuredly through that crowd of drunken fools, that John would be more than a one off fuck in the loo. Or he’d at least hoped. Feelings are probably unavoidable at this point.
“Why don’t you oh god find out?” John’s head falls back as Sherlock tongues over the fading bruise on his neck. “Yeah, keep doing that, that’s - that’s very good.”
Sherlock laves at his throat, dragging his tongue roughly over his Adam’s apple, pressing into the hollow of his jaw, sucking warm raspberry flavoured skin between his teeth. The vague grit of glitter spreads across his palate as he trails his tongue down to circle around one pink nipple. John shivers against him, and twists his fingers in his hair. ♡

Perfection 
———-
-NSFW-
———-
“What do you want, Sherlock?” John’s voice rumbled low, lips ghosting across the other man’s neck in a quiet promise that Sherlock would get whatever he needed that night.
“John,” Sherlock gasped, arching up sharply from the bed as John pushed a second finger into him. He clenched down, squirming as he tried to impale himself further on the doctor’s skilled fingers. John nipped at Sherlock’s shoulder, pulling his fingers almost all the way out before thrusting back in hard and receiving a low groan in reward.
“What do you want?” His tongue laved over the small bite mark. “Do you want me to kiss you…to /fuck/ you?” Sherlock jerked up as John’s fingers found Sherlock’s prostate, whimpering with each precise stroke. “To take you against the wall? Or on the bed?”
“Do you want it /hard/? Or slow? Do you want it to hurt?” John’s fingers raked down Sherlock’s stomach, nails leaving reddened scratches on his pale skin. Sherlock only hissed, taut body leaning up into the touch. “Do you want me to make you come or force you to wait?” Sherlock’s chest heaved. “…Do you want me to make you stop thinking?” John wrapped his hand around Sherlock’s hardened cock, coming to the cusp of it all.
“Do you think I could?” He stroked once, and Sherlock bucked against him. “Do you think I could shut your brain off?” He stroked again, and Sherlock’s reaction was audible. “…because I would love to try…”
“John…” Sherlock gasped again, head tossing to the side. John didn’t let up.
“What do you want, Sherlock?” His teeth scraped down Sherlock’s neck, and Sherlock practically writhed beneath him. “Tell me…” he murmured, moving up to mouth kisses down Sherlock’s jawline. “What do you want?”
Sherlock shuddered. “You…everything,” Sherlock choked out, straining against the other man, needing his mind to go dark, needing the reprieve. “Everything…John…Please.” Sherlock’s voice cracked on the last rarely spoken word, and John’s mouth was on Sherlock’s in a second, only too happy to oblige.

Soulmate Submission Masterlist
Tumblr media
I’m extremely proud to present all the amazing, beautiful Soulmate submissions @hiatustory received this month!
A HUGE THANK YOU TO EVERYONE FOR TAKING PART IN NOVEMBER’S THEME! <3 <3 YOU’RE ALL AMAZING!
Please leave these beautiful writers some love by leaving a comment and/or kudos, it will make their day! ;)
Rubber Soul Mates by @chriscalledmesweetie Words: 776, G Summary: 5+1 Sherlock didn’t believe in soul mates. The notion that there was someone out there who would magically complete him was, frankly, ludicrous. Only a half-wit would need to find his other half. So when, at the age of seven, Sherlock ran into a boy at the British Museum who claimed to ‘recognise’ Sherlock as his soul mate, Sherlock, of course, called him an idiot.
You Can’t Just… Appear Out of Nowhere by nutmeag83 Words: 4,595, G Summary: John dies. He meets kid Sherlock. But things aren’t as he assumes. Or, the one where kid Sherlock still solves puzzles before John does.
I love you, I choose you by Hotaru_Tomoe Words: 6,446, G Summary: In a world where 90% of people meet their soulmate thanks to a string tattooed on their right wrist, Sherlock and John haven’t any tattoo, but they meet and fall in love nonetheless.
Every Dream Has a Name, and Names Tell Your Story by nutmeag83 Words: 14,058, G Summary: John is trying to rebuild his life after he returns from Afghanistan, but he’s been sent to the dull English coast, where he’ll die of boredom before the month is out. But then he begins having dreams of an exciting life in London with an eccentric consulting detective as a flatmate. Why is he having these dreams, and how can he make them a reality?
A Strange Meeting by heartbreakholmes Words: 2,090, G Summary: In a world where each person is born with their soulmate’s name inscribed upon their wrist, John Watson, tattoo artist, often finds himself covering them up for people. However, it seems cruel that one rather beautiful customer has not found his other half, yet still wants the word erased from his skin.
To Capture a Man’s Soul by Zigster Words: 2.082, T Summary: John Watson is late for dinner, and his mobile has died. He ducks into a phone box to make a call, and instead, finds something that will change the course of his life forever.
The Soul Remembers by Talizora Words: 3,001, E, WIP Summary: For more than an age, Sherlock thought being exiled was the worst misery he could endure. He wraps his suffering around himself like wings and retreats to his mind and its regrets. With the discovery of his soulmate, Sherlock quickly learns that true sorrow has a mortal form…
Complete by Madam_Fandom Words: 12,209, E Summary: Do you believe in love at first sight, or do I need to walk by you again?
Two-continents Watson by NovaNara Words: 2,839, M Summary: Having a soulmate doesn’t mean never making an arse of yourself in front of them…
Finding a Helpmate by GizmoTrinket Words: 2,143, G Summary: help·mate (ˈhelpˌmāt) -noun: a helpful companion or partner, especially one’s husband or wife. In a universe where only the rich can afford the serum to see one’s soulmate Sherlock has nearly given up on finding his.

Pencil Me In- Johnlock AU: Part 1 of 5
Sherlock Holmes is an escort that the wealthy and mysterious John Watson meets after a referral from Mike Stamford. He takes Sherlock on as an escort, and they quickly spiral into a relationship that goes too fast, too hard. Ruthless. It was always rough and fast with tongue and bruising grips and teeth. The bedroom was always empty before the night was out, and come morning they pretended they didn’t remember about what happened.
I did not mean for this to happen. I was on my computer and saw that picture of Benedict looking like that and… my hands slipped. Four boards so far have been made. There is a story coming up, and John and Sherlock are going to be in for a ride.

TWT Beatiful... 
Whenever someone says that johnlock couldn’t be canon, because it would ruin the source material, I always have to mention Granada Sherlock Holmes.
Tumblr media
Produced in a time when suggesting that Holmes and Watson might have been in a romantic or sexual relationship could get you black listed from Sherlockian communities, this series thumbed its nose and pushed as many boundaries as it could. 
Tumblr media
One of the first screen adaptations to showcase the equality in the partnership between the two men, it gave us a Watson who was anything but the bumbling oaf he had been in previous works. This Watson was intelligent, strong, protective, and loving. When he wasn’t doctoring his Holmes after scrapes, he was comforting him in his failure, or helping to direct him toward success. 
Tumblr media
Rather than marry Watson off, Granada kept him a happy, if often put upon, bachelor. This deviation from the source Canon was handled smoothly, by occasionally sending Watson on much needed holidays or keeping him busy at his surgery, for stories that needed the men to be separated at the beginning. 
Tumblr media
Beyond the less than subtle hints into the nature of the relationship between Holmes and Watson, Granada is noted for including a story line in one of their most well known films that dealt with why that very relationship needed to be kept a secret. Working off of a few scant lines found in the original Charles Augustus Milverton, the film The Master Blackmailer featured a subplot of a soldier taking his life, when his love affair with a man is found out. This is a subject which leads to Lestrade making the remark that it isn’t the first time it has happened to a soldier, and it certainly won’t be the last, a remark that ends with Watson all but slamming the door to Baker Street behind the inspector. 
Tumblr media
There is hardly a scene throughout the show- which ran for a decade, and included five feature length films- that doesn’t show the gentle intimacy between Holmes and Watson. Whether he is threatening an armed man with a chair, insisting that his detective eat, or jumping between Holmes and a hired thug, Watson is every inch the devoted companion. As the series progresses, and the actors change, Watson subtly evolves from a man who loves the excitement of the world Holmes has shown him, into one that wants them to slow down and think of the future. There is a delightful scene in one of the later episodes, which shows Watson obviously relieved to learn that there is money in Holmes’ family.
Tumblr media
And of course, nothing says canon otp, like giant floating rainbows splashed across the backgrounds of their scenes together.
