Summary
In Beauty from Ashes, John met and cared for a boy named Ramin whose life was forever changed by the encounter. John's was changed as a result, too. Ramin is now in university, and John is still an influential presence on him. This story is a shorter, follow-up to the original.

This would be best understood if you have read Beauty from Ashes first, but the short backstory is that Ramin was assaulted in Afghanistan and John performed life-saving surgery on him. John lost track of him after that, having been wounded and sent home. Ramin's mother had relocated when John had tried to find her. But John never forgot. Mycroft tracked down Ramin, orchestrated a video interview, and after that John and Ramin kept in touch, meeting once on a visit to Afghanistan with Sherlock. At that time, Ramin wanted to be either a policeman or a doctor when he grew up. Hmm, wonder which he chose?Series
