Polar Shift Hypothesis (Adopted)

Summary:

"In a world where Alphas and Omegas make up a meagre 10% of the world's entire population, Sherlock and John find themselves at a dark crossroads when they unexpectedly present after five years of being partners, colleagues and best friends. What used to make sense between them now seems incomprehensible as both men desperately struggle to balance the dynamics of a gene that leaves them disgusted with themselves, terrified for each other, and almost lethally attracted to the other in a way that they never wanted to be. Explicit, Johnlock.” - Original Author

Notes:

BronzedViolets & Superblue: Making the world a better place one piece of gay erotica at a time.

Disclaimer: We do not own Sherlock, ANY iteration of Sherlock. This means we do not own ACD Sherlock, Granada Sherlock, Young Sherlock Holmes, The Great Mouse Detective, RDJ Sherlock, and we sure as hell don’t own BBC Sherlock. Which is a pity, because we have so much fun with them!

A WORD: This story is an AU of a fanfiction. It is a continuation of “Polar Shift Hypothesis,” which was orphaned by its creator. It was a literary tragedy that this fic was left orphaned as a WIP because it was just so ridiculously good and a great take on the Omegaverse that we all know and love. So as a public service we have adopted it and done our darnedest to continue the story in a way that we feel serves it, and its characters, best. That being said, it is almost impossible to completely emulate another person’s writing style, so please don’t expect this to be written exactly as the original author wrote it. This is, in essence, a labor of love, and please keep in mind that we actually do not know what exactly the original author had planned. We read, and reread, and reread, and reread (ad nauseum) the story, made copious notes and flowcharts, and had long in-depth discussions about character arcs, and we think we’ve come up with something that’ll work. So, if you are a fan of the original story and just can’t bear to see someone else take the reins, then this is not for you. However, if you’d like to see how this story COULD have ended, then by all means, hop aboard! Of course, we are open to constructive criticism and if you find a mistake or a typo, please let us know.

To preserve the integrity of the original fic, Chapter 1 contains only links back to the original chapters.

If you have already read it please proceed directly to Chapter 2. If you have not then what are you waiting for!
