TW: Abuse, probable underage depending on the filler
John doesn't think much about his childhood, but who does? And when he does, he figures it was pretty normal.
When he and Sherlock start a relationship, though, even though Sherlock doesn't much understand a lot of social norms, he can tell something's wrong. Maybe it's the scars on John's body that John can't explain. Maybe it's the way he seems weirdly skittish about actually having sex, even though he never refuses. (Please do not have Sherlock going ahead with having sex despite John's nervous/unenthusiastic body language.) It's a mystery, and besides that, someone hurt John. Sherlock intends to find out.
Angst, hurt/comfort, Sherlock poking his nose into John's past, and going slow and careful with their relationship, please!
Bonuses:
- John hardly remembers anything from before he turned 18, but thinks this is normal
- Sarah was always confused about why John never made a move when they were together, despite the times when he stayed over
- A story behind why he keeps insisting he's not gay, even though Sherlock can easily tell that John's attracted to men
