Continued from here. Prompt was: During a disturbing case involving child sexual abuse victims, Lestrade notices Sherlock is...differant. He's gentle, patient and understanding with these children, and in turn they completely trust him and is the only person they'll confide in. Sherlock also takes this case *very* personally and seems to understand far too much of what they are going through. The pieces fall together and Lestrade realises with horror Sherlock was a victim himself - that's why he can't stand to be touched unexpectedly, why he flinches and has never had a relationship (or even sex) before John. This is later - reluctantly confirmed by Mycroft and John. Somehow Lestrade eventually gets Sherlock to open up about it.

Wow. John's mind is just buzzing about this - he doesn't know what to do with the information. He doesn't know what to say to Sherlock, he doesn't know what to do - he's sort of stuck.
I love Sherlock's compassion for the kid, and how me keeps his temper until he gets home - because yelling would just freak the kid out, after all. And that he treats him like an adult.

We all get sort of stuck sometimes, and in the past few days John's had a lot to absorb.
Most thirteen year olds want to be treated like adults. (I'm not sure many people could have kept their temper in check if they figured out that's what he meant.)
I've had a week from hell, but hopefully I'll post something this weekend.

This is really, really, really good. It all feels so real, with everyone making (emotional) missteps and being confused and the mystery is so gripping. Please send more soon
