People ask victims of abuse, ‘why didn’t you leave?’ This fic delves into the dark world of female-toward-male domestic violence and shows how it starts with manipulation and gaslighting long before there’s any physical abuse. It also explores ‘why they stay’ and shows how, after being brainwashed, it’s very difficult for the victim to change their thought process.

After the darkness of being abused by Mary, Sherlock is the sunrise for John. And it does have a happy ending.

Warning: graphic descriptions of mental, emotional, sexual and physical abuse; graphic description of the aftermath of male rape; major character death. This fic is dark with a capital D, but its exploration of victims’ thought processes is fascinating and insightful.

Thank you so much for reccing this!!!!! Means so much to me!
