Mummy Holmes is a malignant narcissist and tries to slowly poison Sherlock to death with her prescription drugs when she perceives his intellectual prowess is nearing her own (in his late teens). Mycroft to the rescue!
This is why Sherlock never talks about N-Mummy and E-Dad (Enabler Dad).
This is why he has no problem drugging his parents at Christmas.
This is why he prevents John from meeting his parents initially.
This is why he is a drug-addict (PTSD from horrid childhood).
This is why Sherlock and Mycroft have a strained relationship (Mycroft was the Golden Child and Sherlock the Scapegoat).
Bonuses: -Sibling bonding/healing in a safe space (platonic or Holmescest is fine). -Sherlock reveals this all to John and John believes him without question (Johnlock context, plz).
I'm planning to write this myself some day, but if you want to get the jump on me, go for it!
