Differential Diagnosis People: A Man Should Know
Happy pre-holidays everyone.
Before you break out the egg nog and the Christmas tree (or potato pancakes, if you prefer), let's check in with the final Hall of Fame nominated fic before a holiday break.
We've got a new author this time, which always keeps everything fresh. Enjoy, read, review and prepare to vote.

Synopsis: What Foreman learns about guns when he's young changes his life.
Nominated by: PWCorgigirl
Why should this be in the Hall of Fame? Wonderful backstory for Foreman that fleshes out how he knew so much about guns in "Euphoria." It's beautifully written and has great dialogue, especially when House makes a guest appearance at the end. Did I mention it’s Foreman, when you can count good Foreman fics on one hand?
Sample from the text: He felt the blood run from his face and he let out a rush of air as pieces started to fall into place. The shoplifting, the break-ins, the cajoling and coaxing. Uncle Joe teaching him how to shoot, his friends teaching him how to pick locks. The gleaming metal in Uncle Joe's shop.
He had never belonged. Not really. Those nagging questions came back. Why did they like you? They didn't. Why did you like them? Eric wasn't sure he could answer.
He had been a tool, a means to an end. At least he figured it out on his own. At least he figured it out in time, before he did something really stupid. A man should know better.
