Fics like The End of an Era

After marrying, John visits and sees that Sherlock's eyes are red-rimmed, comes to the wrong conclusions and longs to lash out to relieve his pent-up frustration. When Sherlock notices, he tries to reach out, but with both of them at the end of their rope, a disaster is what follows. Harsh words come from John and he watches as every barrier Sherlock has slams back up before his eyes. He runs, unable to deal with the consequences of his actions. It's then that Sherlock falls apart, turning to drugs once more as he finds that he can't function, leaving Mycroft to pick up the shattered pieces. “Do you know what I went through, trying to put my life back together when you disappeared all of a sudden? What I felt, seeing you die?” Sherlock's heart was racing as he stared at John, mind going too fast as he tried to think of some way to make this better, to fix it and make it all stop. “John, maybe you should know that-” Sherlock didn't have a happy and fun vacation for two years. Maybe John should know that while he was suffering through depression and grief, Sherlock suffered through torture and pain with only the thought of returning home to John keeping him sane during long hours of nothing but white-hot agony.
