Sherlock shot Magnussen, Moriarty returns and has been dealt with. Sherlock is allowed to walk free, because Mycroft manages to destroy all evidence. But now Moriarty is dead/locked up for good/whatever, Mycroft is pissed with Sherlock, because he feels betrayed by his actions in hlv and John has his baby. Where exactly does Sherlock fit in? Sherlock is already developing severe self-esteem issues when he is raped on a case. The rapist takes his virginity and manages to break him in by feeding his self-hate (everyone hates him, he's just a burden, he's a freak, John will never love him back,...; maybe he got all that information through sherlock's enemies?). The abuser tells Sherlock that he is the only one who would take him now and Sherlock believes him. He helps him fake his innocence and they move in together. The abuser slowly starts to isolate Sherlock even more, doesn't allow him to get any cases, forbids him his experiments, basically everything that makes Sherlock Sherlock. Someone (Molly, Lestrade, Anderson or maybe even Sally?) notices this and begns to suspect something. He/she goes to John and tells him about it. John visits Sherlock for the first time in weeks and Sherlock snaps something at him (he thinks John hates him, why else wouldn't he call at least once, even after everything Sherlock has done for him.) John had been feeling guilty about his neglect, but he is also stressed because of the baby and the whole Mary is an assassin thin or work or whatever, so he storms off. He is only coming back when Mycroft tells him that Sherlock hat attempted suicide after weeks of constant abuse +++cue heartfelt reconciliation and comfort cause i'm a woobie a huge bonus would be John showing Sherlock that sex needn't be painful or humiliating sorry about the long prompt :D
Sherlock stays with his abuser because he thinks he deserves it
