So, I want one of the series' characters to suffer from this. Maybe John, who couldn't cope with watching his best friend commit suicide, maybe Sherlock somehow gets it via an accident/while chasing criminals/Reichenbach. Just make it hurt.
Bonus: if doing Sherlock or John, say they were in a relationship before one of them suffered this type of amnesia. Does the relationship continue after? How? Through diaries? Especially if this relationship is still rather new, what would it be like not to remember your firsts with your partner?
Yes, I know, extremely angsty prompt.

The room was spare, as John's bedroom at 221b had been. A single narrow bed, a desk, a couple of chairs. A small refrigerator, an electric kettle on the sideboard. A laptop computer, but no television. A small stereo and a stack of CDs. A dozen or so books, mostly illustrated. A stack of worn magazines.
(“Cerebral accident,” Mycroft had said. “Intracranial bleeding, subsequent to head trauma.”
(“What trauma?” Sherlock demanded. “What happened to him?”
(And Mycroft had spoken bluntly. “It happened on the way back from your grave. But the original injury was when he was struck by a bicycle.”)
There were a few pictures. One wall was empty, and directly on the wallpaper was scrawled, large and prominent, in John's own hand:
JOHN:
You had a head injury.
You have memory issues.
Staying here until they clear up.
Mycroft is your host.
Be POLITE to him.John was seated at the table, chuckling at something in a magazine, with his back to the door. He wasn't aware of Sherlock's presence, until Sherlock ( ... )

John took a slow breath, let it out. “But now what? It's been, what, a week? The grey suits you, by the way. Makes you look like an actual adult. I've got this - memory issue,” he glanced at the words on the wall, “but as soon as that clears up - we go after Moriarty's circle? Together.”
He looked down at Sherlock's bleeding hands. “Oh, hell, what did you do? Shit. That might need stitches. Just wait right here, I've got some first-aid supplies - ”
He hurried to the bathroom, but looked down in surprise as his shoes crunched on the floor. “What the hell? Who broke glass in here?” He returned to Sherlock's side, bearing antiseptic and gauze and tape. “Here, give me your hands ( ... )

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 ( ... )

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!

The reason why Mycroft spies on his brother so much, why Sherlock is easily bored, and why Jim is so interested in Sherlock? Its because he has the power to warp realities and use hex magic.
Pairings don't matter nor the rating as long as it shows how London deals with a consulting detective with this much power. Maybe John is the trigger for Sherlock's control? Or something.
Sherlock and co. all having mutant powers.

They both used to work in the same strip club to pay for expenses not covered by their scholarships.
They were even lovers for a while, before deciding they worked better as friends.
Now the two friends are helping each other to snag the Holmes Brother of their dreams.
Which may take a while, because for all their intellect, the Holmes boys are notoriously thick when it comes to matters of the heart.
