Summary
In a different time, a more naive time, Sherlock thought he was the star and John the satellite, circling him in worshipful orbit. He knows now that was never true. John was always the sun, bright and fierce, and Sherlock was the pale, cold moon, his only heat coming from the light he reflected.
And then his sun went into supernova. Moriarty said he would burn him and he has, and John is the fire, his rage and grief incinerating Sherlock, burning the heart out of him in the end, turning him into nothing but cinder and ash. And now the supernova is collapsing, a black hole born where there was once warmth and heat and love, and Sherlock is being pulled down, down past the event horizon, into the endless frozen void where nothing can ever escape.

Vignettes of the Holmes brothers, pre-canon through s03e03.
*****
“If I can’t call you Mikey, what can I call you?” Sherlock is seven years old and looks faintly worried.
“Mycroft, of course. That’s my name.” Mycroft is beginning to feel a little silly. “I didn’t mean you can’t—”
“I want to call you something no one else calls you.” Sherlock’s eyes are as bright as a rain-muted summer sky.
“Brother, then,” says Mycroft.

Summary
One of the first things John did was to write up step-by-step instructions on how to conduct a proper job interview before handing it over to Mycroft for his perusal. There were no kidnapping, deserted car parks or stolen therapy notes anywhere on that list.
(Or the one where John returned from the war and ended up working for Mycroft as his personal assistant slash doctor on retainer. Everything was fine, until he was sent to post bail for one Sherlock Holmes.)
