Series: Eating us alive

Note: This series started as a one shot for this prompt at the kink meme, but the story kept me up night after night and needed to be continued. It takes up the issues of eating disorders seen from the point-of-view of a loved one and not the person struggling with the eating disorder itself and has its focus on the emotional aspects of the disorder and not the physical self-abuse even though it's still in there.

I don’t want to tell you which goggles to use when you read this, but I’m writing it as non-slash and I think that brings something to the story.

Warnings and ratings? I don't do that very well, but it is a series about an eating disorder, the rest is up to you.

Summary for the whole series: Both John and Sherlock struggle to understand and deal with Sherlock’s complicated relationship with food when it slowly starts to spiral out of control.

All of it can be found at AO3.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't there a sequel or part or something where Sherlock actually tells John the why?? Or am I just remembering incorrectly?

I'm sorry to say that you're wrong. Sherlock never tells John the why because I don't know the why and I have the feeling Sherlock isn't sure either. I have speculated some about how this started over in the comments on AO3, but the only thing I know for sure is that it started when he was 14. Sometimes when I poke at him I get the feeling that his mother had a complicated relationship with food as well and that he once was force fed with a nasogastric tube when he was 17. But that's pure speculations.

The closest to a sequel is the 221 bathroom (http://solrosan.livejournal.com/28789.html) that I apparently haven't put up in the master list. Bad solrosan!

Hmm... It wasn't an complete explanation... hmm. Must be misremembering.

There are quite a lot of ED fics in this fandom, perhaps it was someone else? :)
