I was all set to hold out and not to get involved with this drama until I had the end in hand and yet - now you're on my friends list.

Because I. Need. To. Know. the minute you add the next chapter (or at least by the end of the day).

I think what gets me the most is the way you write - without ever actually saying the words - Watson as living kind of outside of himself (if that makes any sense?). It's not so unusual with Holmes (in the sense that if his brain could solve cases sans the limitations of having to drag along the rest of his body he probably would) but it's very unsettling to see Watson doing the same. Holmes doesn't seem very suited to remembering the mundane practicalities ;-)

There's no way this is just going to fizzle out into recovery, so I'm definitely looking forward to the explosion almost as much as I'm dreading it.

Oh, Watson. Oh, Holmes.
