Title: Resurrection of the Unspoken Word (Link is to first of three parts.)
Author: srsly-yes
Summary: A nontraditional love story. How much do House and Wilson love each other? (Check out the fic header for more info on what to expect.)
Nominated by: californiaquail
Why does this fic belong in the Housefic Meta Library? "This is one of the most original ideas I have encountered, not just in this fandom, but in fanfiction as a whole."
Excerpt: ACME Corporation (Artificial Creations through Mechanical Engineering), with its slogan, “Making EveryBody Better” was in the forefront, proclaiming their amazing results. Loved ones could be recreated with ease from audio and video tapes. House grumbled in disgust, “No better than freeze-drying a cat.”
He rifled through the papers. One engineer claimed he could imprint human cells onto chips causing androids to take on the personalities of those who passed away. The assertion trumpeted that the automaton would behave like the original human.
The statement tugged at House’s heart, but did not prevent him from fantasizing about choking his helpful specter by its tieless neck.
Then he came to another article. The genius engineer was being sued. Owners found the robots defective. There were countless “un” complaints: unfounded, unreal, unbelievable, unnatural, unlifelike. And one guy protested that the android was too real. “It repeated back words that my wife said to me on her deathbed.”
Goosebumps crawled up House's neck and a sense of purpose ignited his spirit. Wilson’s last words. What if he could hear what Wilson was about to say before he died?
