Sherlock leaves London for a case. While he's gone he keeps in touch with John, and the two begin to share increasingly flirty and emotionally vulnerable texts, emails, etc. and by the time Sherlock returns he's thrilled that he and John are finally ready to embark on a romantic relationship. But when he arrives home John has packed his things and moved out, leaving a bitter, angry handwritten note declaring he never wants to see or hear from Sherlock ever again. Sherlock is confused and heartbroken.
Meanwhile, John has moved far away and is looking for a new start in life after having fled from Baker Street because of the increasingly cruel, hateful, demeaning messages he had received from Sherlock while he was out of town, dashing all hopes John ever had of he and Sherlock ever becoming more than just friends.
Turns out Moriarty, technological wizard that he is, has faked all of the communication between John and Sherlock over the last few weeks. He himself generated all of the texts, emails, and perhaps even phone calls (maybe he's got some wicked good voice synthesizing software) and he's been totally manipulating both of them as part of that whole "burn the heart out of you" thing.
Of course an eventual happy Sherlock/John ending would be fantastic.
TL;DR While Sherlock is away Moriarty fakes all of the texts, emails, and phone calls between Sherlock and John. Sherlock returns home happy thinking John wants to start a romantic relationship, but John has moved out because of "Sherlock"'s cruel declarations that he has grown bored with him and wants him gone.

Sherlock always hated being away from 221b Baker Street and tried to avoid leaving for considerate amounts of time. However this time Lestrade had had something very interesting for him slightly more up North and Sherlock hadn’t been able to resist. After only two days looking at what little evidence they had collected Sherlock saw the one slip-up the killer had made and had, of course, named the killer. Unfortunately, due to lack of solid evidence and only Sherlock’s word to go, the police decided they’d need more evidence.
It had been a long week but finally, he was going home. Sherlock smiles all the way home on the train ride. The thought of what he’s yet to discover with John in the new territory of their love excites him. It started simply and innocent enough, a bored text here about how the pathologist’s voice was too whiney and nasal, an e-mail there about how things were going. Then things started to get interesting; a ‘missing you’ here, ‘a wish you were here’ there and before Sherlock would account, document and file what was happening in his hard-drive he was utterly and completely in love with John and suddenly unable to keep John out of his mind as he lay in the cramped bed in the cheap B&B.
Sherlock can’t help but twiddle his thumbs in the cab but decides against calling or texting John, after all, he doesn’t want to seem “desperate”. Finally the cab pulls up and Sherlock bounds out, more excited than he probably should be, and pays the driver. Sherlock opens the door of 221b and strolls in quietly before bounding up the stairs, taking them two at a time.
“John!” He calls out as he enters “John, I’m back!”
He looks through the rooms and calls John’s name a few more times before casually concluding that he must’ve popped out, probably for milk and biscuits and other menial things. Sherlock hops down the steps again to see Mrs. Hudson; she’s always intrigued by his cases.
“Mrs. Hudson, I’m back.” He states loudly as he knocks on her door As she opens the door Sherlock catalogues the weariness about her, the slight sagging of her shoulders and the hardened look in her eyes.
“Oh. Hello Sherlock.” Sherlock eyes her warily; this is not normal behaviour from her
“Hello. Do you happen to know where John is? He doesn’t seem to be around.” Sherlock notices her body straightening, her shoulders tensing and her eyes hardening to the point where there’s almost a glazed look there.
“I can’t believe you, of all people Sherlock, would have the audacity to ask that.”
Sherlock feels bemused and hurt, two very unfamiliar emotions for him, by her words

16/3/11 I miss you too John. I’ll be home soon. SH
Mrs Hudson stared at the screen aghast. What she saw with her own eyes astounded her. Sherlock thought he’d really drive his point home. He skipped forward a few days, to when the emotions really began to show.
19/3/11- 14:56PM I should be home soon. Just wrapping things up. SH
19/3/11- 15:01PM Good. I’ve missed you too much JW

19/3/11- 15:26PM I love you too Sherlock x JW
Sherlock closes the message line quickly though he’s sure that Mrs Hudson had a good enough eye to spot some of the dirtier texts they’d sent later that day. Sherlock can see her as she slots things into place; mind whirring away behind her eyes.
"Oh dear..." she says finally and Sherlock wants to ball his fists in frustration at not knowing what to do. Then she smiles at him. She smiles.
"You know what you have to do, Sherlock. There's only one person who can help you right now."
Sherlock knows she's right. Sherlock also knows he'll never live it down. Right now though, he couldn't care less. John is out there somewhere and Sherlock has to get him back before his whole world falls apart.

Oh those were some horrible things Jim had 'Sherlock' say! But at least Sherlock's figuring out what the problem is.
And of course Mrs. Hudson would spot some of the dirtier texts. ;)
