I have a friend with FOP, so I'm very familiar with the disease. Just the other day she posted details of a raffle held by the IFOPA to raise money to fund research. Since this is so timely to your story, go here to buy raffle tickets and to learn more about FOP.

Thanks for posting the link!

I'm sorry to hear that, and I hope I have done your friend and the condition justice? It's one thing to read endless bits of literature and papers about it, and another to personally know someone who is suffering from it.

Thank you for writing this most beautiful piece, and keep it both very informative as well as beautifully in-character. I think I've learned something very precious today. Thanks. :)

Thank you! One of the things I was worried about when writing this is that it would become too bogged down in the medical details, so I'm very glad you find it balanced.

Thanks again. ;)

This is so achingly beautifully written. I don't normally read Sherlock stuff, but please, have you written more of these specific H and W

I love the intelligent compassion of Dr Watson, and the iron man comic, and the, just everything.
