When Sherlock comes back, John doesn't forgive him. He just doesn't. There's no beating, no shouting; it's worse. Sherlock loses all John's respect and friendship. The only friend Sherlock has ever had leaves (maybe back to the army).
The blow is particularly painful, because Sherlock is in love with John and had hoped to try a romantic relationship for the first time in his life, concluding that there could be a small chance that John felt the same. He wouldn't have minded both emotional and physical closeness, as long as it's with John. But now there's no chance to find out how it might have been.
Sherlock feels broken and empty, even cases are no longer appealing (drugs, however, can become his 'friend' again).
I just want to read something very painful and heartbreaking.
The ending can be good or bad, I don't mind either.
(possible John/Sherlock,) John doesn't forgive Sherlock. Buckets of angst.

I prefer no Mary in this.
