Past Abuse, JohnLock hurt/comfort anonymous September 30 2013, 12:29:51 UTC

TW: Abuse, probable underage depending on the filler

John doesn't think much about his childhood, but who does? And when he does, he figures it was pretty normal.

When he and Sherlock start a relationship, though, even though Sherlock doesn't much understand a lot of social norms, he can tell something's wrong. Maybe it's the scars on John's body that John can't explain. Maybe it's the way he seems weirdly skittish about actually having sex, even though he never refuses. (Please do not have Sherlock going ahead with having sex despite John's nervous/unenthusiastic body language.) It's a mystery, and besides that, someone hurt John. Sherlock intends to find out.

Angst, hurt/comfort, Sherlock poking his nose into John's past, and going slow and careful with their relationship, please!

Bonuses:- John hardly remembers anything from before he turned 18, but thinks this is normal ( ... )

Seconding. I read something about this, where people who suffered abuse/traumatic events didn't remember it, or 'disassociated' from themselves.

Oh, it's definitely real, I'm the poster girl for dissociative amnesia. The weirdest things can trigger a suppressed memory to surface. 20 years later, and I still get the occasional surprise memory popping to the surface, like an oil slick in the Gulf of Mexico.

My most recent trigger was brushing my teeth with a new type of toothpaste - the taste triggered the memory of brushing my teeth after a particularly violent sexual assault, which brought back the whole memory. Brand new tube of toothpaste, straight into the trash.

Thirding this prompt!

I'm sorry that happened to you, anon. /virtual hug/

It can go both ways as well, I have a friend who knows they were abused as a child, but when they talk about it, they can black out for the rest of the day, sometimes to the point of reacting violently or passing out and waking up in hospital with no memory of the day before.

Working on a fill for this one. Should have part 1 up by later tonight/early tomorrow.

Re: Past Abuse, JohnLock hurt/comfort anonymous October 1 2013, 06:07:28 UTC

Fourthing! I've dealt with this issue too.
(There was a fic I was reading and lost track of where Sherlock deduced abuse in John's past by looking at photographs. . Anyone know what happened to that one?)

Re: Past Abuse, JohnLock hurt/comfort anonymous October 2 2013, 14:23:31 UTC

I would write this because I have/currently am dealing with this issue but I couldn't do the prompt justice because:

1)I just got into this fandom so I have no idea how to write John/Sherlock

2)I can't write angst well.

So I fifth it :(

He gently pulled away from her kiss and took a step back. She looked at him, puzzled. His cheeks flamed with embarrassment and he rubbed the back of his neck. “I’m sorry, Sarah. It’s just…well…I’ve been alone a long time…and with everything…I’m just not ready ( ... )

OP here! Thank you for the fill. Sitting on the edge of my seat.

anonymous October 5 2013, 03:12:23 UTC

Thanks for the awesome prompt! You made the story easy to write.

Re: Fill: No Refuge from Memory: 1/b vicious_sanity October 4 2013, 14:38:24 UTC

Really liking this so far!

anon_socks October 4 2013, 15:17:27 UTC

I really like the way you've slipped in bits of disordered thinking--better person than John deserved and so on. It builds the atmosphere well without overdoing it.

Will be interested to read more!

He shook his head at the cling film-covered brain that occupied the middle shelf

Reading this, it just hit me - and I don't mean to be funny - parts of John's brain, the earlier memories, are in cling film too... Nice metaphor.
