Fanfic: Touch

[fauxpocky]

Title: Touch
Word Count: 100
Pairing: House/Wilson
Author's Notes: I was almost asleep when this thing jumped me and I had to get up and write it down before it went away. It's a drabble for now, but I think there's going to have to be an expansion on this one, at some point.
Summary: He could see how much Wilson wanted to touch him...

I like how concrete this is. The drabble itself feels like a whole piece, and yet I can easily imagine it as part of something larger. I don't get that sense from most drabbles.

Little piece of not-exactly concrit, more a thought: I wouldn't actually change any of your wording, just rearrange it a bit. It might read more smoothly if you started with "House was a man of..."

As I was writing it I had to restrain myself from just keeping on writing (and not just cause it was stupidly late at night *g*), because I liked making that the end point, I like the way it stands on it's own. But I don't think I'm going to be able to resist exploring it a little more.

I like leading into it with the line about Wilson wanting to touch him, because it can so easily be misread *eg* but I might shift it around when I do the extended version. Cause yes, I can see how that would fit together nicely that way. Thanks for the inspiration and the comment *G*

I love analysis fics. This is too true. Perfect.

[fauxpocky]

Thank you *bg* It's fun trying to get into their heads!

That's very freaky, cause I got the rest of it in the lj-comment email, but it's not on here. Strange.

I tend to punctuate the way I hear the sentences in my head, which is why the comma ended up where it did. I nearly went with a ... but I thought that was a bit too much. Then again, it was a bit late and I was half asleep when I wrote it *G*

I love the way the show plays the issue of House and his personal space. They don't make a big deal about it, but it's obvious that House keeps his distance from most people, except that there are all these little moments where he and Wilson come into contact, casually, almost as though they haven't noticed. It's such a lovely little nod to the depth of their friendship, and it comes across so realistically.

Plus, it's excellent groundwork for slashy subtextual reading ;D

Awwwwwwww, I want expansion *heart*
This drabble is made of pure awesome AND now I got to draw Cat!House or something like that, dammit, or I'll think about it for weeks.

[fauxpocky]

Hehe, glad you liked it *g* I'm about to try to get some much needed sleep, so I'm sure the expansion-bunnies will be attacking me shortly. As soon as I close my eyes, no doubt *g*

You will be sharing Cat!House, right? Cause that is something I have GOT to see *giggles*

[eryslash]

Then I'm waiting for the bunnies *_*

I...suppose I will?xD Maybe.

Awww, I liked. Somehow reminded me instantly of the 'deny the physical' speech in No Reason :)

[fauxpocky]

Hehe, I wrote it in the week between watching No Reason and Meaning, so that probably had a bit of an influence, yes *g* That and the way House thinks Cameron isn't going to touch him to stop him, and when she does he threatens her with violence (which did amuse me FAR too much *G*) Because he doesn't let her get away with it, but he's always let Wilson. Then again, Wilson's more subtle about it all *g*

Glad you liked *g*
