Author's 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.

Reccer's comments:  Are you curious about omegaverse fic but worried about falling down the rabbit hole of knotting, heats, gender politics, and dubcon/noncon themes?  Very smart of you.  Omegaverse is one of those odd paths in fandom that makes it so wonderful and so twisted.  And this series is the perfect gateway drug to this verse.  PrettyArbritrary set out to write a fully consensual omegaverse fic and succeeded admirably.  It doesn’t downplay the issues of a culture so tied to biology, but it also paints a convincing picture of cleared-eyed choices on how to deal with the hand you're dealt with a sense of respect for all parties.  Plus the sex is very, very hot.
