WAH! Wilson, get therapy, that's an order! For that matter, take House with you -_- On the not fangirly front, still loving this story, especially the character reactions.

Thanks. They both need help. I've toyed with the idea of doing two chapters as sessions with therapists, but I'm not sure how well that would work considering the strict point of view that I'm using, and the recursive timeframe.

Wow...I really don't know how to comment. This is amazing and so full of emotion that I really didn't want it to end! I want to know the conclusion and what's happening next. The topic isn't wonderful but the story is amazing! You're really doing a great job and I look forward to the next chapter.

[extrabitter]

Thanks. The less intense stuff is actually harder to write, not exactly sure why. I know where the story is going and there are a couple of different ways to get there. I'm glad you're enjoying the piece as a whole.

Still loving this fic. It's great that you've made Cuddy figure it out after hinting that you might in the last chapter. Definitely adds something, another twist to the story.

[extrabitter]

I figured I needed Cuddy as the catalyst, and I'm glad it worked for you. I hope it was clear that she didn't strongly suspect that Wilson was responsible for House's injuries until he mentioned it. She was mad about the drug fraud, which she should be.

So yeah, I am capable of a plot twist. :)

I hope it was clear that she didn't strongly suspect that Wilson was responsible for House's injuries until he mentioned it.

Yes, it was.

Still here, still reading, still wanting to give House a hug, though it'd be the last thing he wants. Wilson, I want to smack.
So keep going!

[extrabitter]

Wilson is so messed up at this point, he's the one that needs a hug! But it looks like House is the only person he'd accept it from.

My guess is that there will be four or five more chaptersI'm hoping that by the end you'll have some sympathy for Wilson, too.

[stilmoch]

Wilson's gonna have to do some hard thinking before I'm going to want to hug him. He's still too deep in denial, though. Erasing his memories instead of dealing with them? Bad way to go, James, dear. Sigh...

This is still a really interesting story! I kinda feel bad for Cuddy -- what exactly is she supposed to do, now that she knows? Aren't doctors required to report stuff like that? But if she does, it'll be a huge scandal for the hospital, and probably worse for House in the long run. (And how can Wilson not suspect the Xanax for his erectile dysfunction?) Thanks for continuing to write and post this!

[extrabitter]

I poked around and found a case of a doc who was self-prescribing Xanax. He did not lose his license, he was put on probation and voluntarily quit practicing medicine, but he was addicted and his case was quite different.

There will be repercussions for Wilson, but since I'm not going into Cuddy's point of view, her ethical dilemma won't be a big part of the story. She has some history with situational ethics, so although this story is clearly AU, I'm staying as close to canon as I can, particularly with Cuddy.

THanks for reading!

Oh, and I forgot to say how much I loved the part at the beginning, the cell phone conversation between Wilson and his mom.
