Summary
He’s decided to just be himself, cliché as it sounds. The lie about being Sherlock’s mate will be difficult enough to keep up, he’s not going to think up more of a charade regarding himself on top of that.
If he uses the wrong fork at dinner, fine. If someone calls him on it, he’ll just stab them with it. Job done.
First attempt at Omegaverse because a very good friend of mine likes it, and I like my friend. She asked for: alpha!John/omega!Sherlock; age difference; pretend bondmates to meet Sherlock's family; synthesised bond scent; and bonding in Sherlock's old bedroom. I think I'm managing to cram it all in for you, sweetpea ;)
No mpreg, I'm afraid. That was a stretch too far.

Summary
John envisioned the past few years, with their expected dramas and carefully laid plans unfolding like a map from Moriarty to freedom. He envisioned his role in it: loving husband, unwitting dupe, luckless pawn. And at the end, he envisioned relief, and breath, and a brilliant, incandescent love.
An oasis. Just this dance. Just one more, and then back into the fray.

Summary
Greg has delicious dreams post-divorce.
Are they a little questionable? Absolutely! But will he question them? Nope.
His fantasy man just knows how to take care of him so well, it definitely helps that the figure is reminiscent of a certain three piece suit wearing, 'I have a minor role in the British government', gentleman.
Or maybe he's just growing more delusional with his age. Just gotta wait it out and see.
That is, unless the figure makes a move first.

Summary
He took the steps two at a time and threw open the door with an imperious, “For the love of God, it had better be a seven.” But then his bluster deflated and he whizzed to a halt.
John stood on the stoop with Rosie on his hip. Two suitcases were crowded behind them, threatening to tumble backward onto the kerb and vomit their overstuffed contents. It had been five months since Sherrinford, and a quiet drive home, and John returning to his daughter in the home he’d bought for his dead wife.
“Hello.” John fidgeted, rebalancing Rosie’s weight. “It’s been a minute, yeah? Thought we’d…” He shook his head, paused, frowned. “Are those new goggles?”
“No.” Sherlock watched Rosie chew her finger. Unable to rein in his traitorous hope, he asked, “Why are you here?”
John and Rosie move back into 221b, and life takes on a new normal: one where John smells like Sherlock’s mate, Rosie smells like his daughter, and Sherlock tries his damndest to ignore the evidence. But how long can the world’s only consulting detective avoid coming to the obvious conclusion?

Summary
“And we’ve spent our existence pretending that we aren’t,” Crowley’s voice cracked.
There was a forceful, anxious kick in Aziraphale’s chest. Oh, God, he was actually going to talk about it. Neither of them dared to for 6,000 years.
Crowley tossed his head to the side. “I mean…The last few years, not really. And I know why we’ve had to pretend, of course. That’s obvious.” His eyes lowered to the floor. “Can’t ever forget about that, can I?” he said under his breath.
~~
After being punished in Heaven for being in love as angels, Aziraphale and Crowley spend the next 6,000 years pretending their relationship never happened. -
