The reason because "it's all fine!" is that before the war, John was very well known in the seediest gay clubs you can imagine. Easy, that's what John Watson was. But the war has changed him and he has shut this part of his life away in the darkest corner of his mind. What happens when he and Sherlock have to investigate smth. at one of those clubs, maybe meet some old... acquaintances?

He knew it would come to this, eventually, knew too well you couldn't run away for ever. But right now, John wanted to run far and fast, Army-training be damned

All this promises of things yet to come, I like it. I love being teased, and this is the verbal equivalent of a carrot hanging right in front of my nose (or other parts, only then it's not a carrot but... well, I digress). As I was saying, the start is very nice indeed, kind anon :)

No familiar faces. He allowed himself to relax slightly for the first time that evening. Sherlock was still looking around, scanning the room for the black-haired, right-handed, smoking man they'd come for. He was attracting attention himself, even if he seemed oblivious to that. It was the cheekbones, John supposed, though he had little use for them himself. A pretty face alone did not make up for angry violining at all hours.
God, the crowd was so young tonight, and some looked so naïve and vulnerable it made his heart ache. So insecure, so much him he just wanted to take them home and give them tea and biscuits. Instead, he clasped his hands behind his back as he looked for their man himself. Enough men with black hair around, but none that seemed who they were looking for. He got a few semi-interested glances himself, which he ignored. And now he'd lost Sherlock as well, because he'd disappeared again and how did he manage that? How hard was it to lose sight of a six-foot man in this crowd

Sherlock had often - well, not often, but in those spare moments between cases when he was out of all other stimulants - thought about John's past. The man had one, of course, but nothing to show for it but graduation papers from Barts and some military paperwork. No personal correspondence or other keepsakes. A sure sign he was running away. Nothing criminal: John didn't hold himself like an ex-convict, and Mycroft hadn't said anything either. John had a tenuous contact with his sister, so he wasn't trying to get away from his family. Having a family meant this wasn't a second life. Failed relationship was likely. Not that John talked about those. It was a puzzle that Sherlock paid scant attention to, since it was of little importance

I can only agree with that, I would really like to see more of this. I like Sherlocks inner monologue-y-thing and I would love to see where this goes. Thanks for filling, kind anon!^^
