This can be set anywhere including somewhere not in London.
The population is barely holding steady. Society is the exact opposite of overpopulated- there are barely enough people to fill jobs. It is now a requirement to have at least one baby though it doesn't have to be raised by the birth parents. People are encouraged to have more than one every few years or so. Because of this unconventional relationships are widely accepted: often times one person has many different partners, marries more than one person, and they all live together even if they don't love each other. It's more common to find romance/love because of how much it's pushed on people.
At the same time it is now also common to have people dragged out in the middle of the day and taken to facilities when they refuse to have kids by a certain age. Though the person doesn't have to have a child they are stuck there until they do. If not they are heavily monitored and have to 'prove their worth' in other ways.
The only thing I ask: if this turns into omegaverse or D/s there is not a HUGE discrimination between the two or if there is it skews in the omegas or subs favor. I mean if there are barely enough people to keep society running why take out a bunch of people right? It be kinda cool to have Dom or Alpha John too.
Bonus 1: Sherlock and John are one of the few people that haven't had kids at their age. Or when canon happens/when they meet they are younger because not wanting kids/not being ready for kids means they have to push themselves A LOT harder and get A LOT farther in life quicker or risk being detained by officals.
Bonus 2: Them meeting younger changes things. John has more of a temper, if a bad life before there are more signs of it, lets Sherlock boss him around less, etc. Sherlock is much more vulnerable, open, and maybe still on drugs or getting into them. Those around them are different too since their younger.
Bonus 3: MOLLY HAS A HAREM! She's very sweet and she is also smart. She has a harem and is trying to gently, shyly convince Sherlock to join. Meanwhile, her guys/gals are kinda pissed at the fact she showers him with attention and how rude he is.
Bonus 4: Because people often have babies so young kids are often given up to the government. Childless couples are pushed to take care of these kids especially infertile couples, older couples with adult kids/no more kids, and homosexual pairs. Like Clara Harry. In fact, homosexual people are welcomed because that means more parents available!
TLDR; The population is so low that people are forced by authorities to have at least one kid and shamed/monitored heavily if they don't. It's a very fucked up place that our cast of characters are trying to navigate but it also has it's advantages. Sometimes.
Any (or gen)- Forced "breeding" , heavy scrutiny (possible dub/non)
