This is truly fantastic, and I don't have words for it. But I like the recognition that they have both made mistakes, and that their friendship is indeed real, and so important. Wonderful job.

i like making people speechless; thanks!! :)

Thanks...and WOW. mickey_p October 14 2008, 05:11:34 UTC

First, thanks for the "heads up" that you were writing again..and WOW. Talk about being worth the wait! Phantom limb; physically absent, yet capable of causing agonizing pain in it's absence. Perfect. Now, if we could just get David Shore to co-operate...

This is a lovely story. I came back to this line:

"Maybe we could... be okay again."

about fifty times!

it made me choke up to write that one. thanks!

I really like the idea of House making an effort to change for Wilson. I wish something similar had happened in canon!

Love. Love. Love.

I have no words left, sorry.

I think I am amongst the few who like this season so far (as I said, I watched only three eps anyway)in the same way I loved S3. The two men are hurting each other, yes. In S3 House did hurt Wilson, in this one it's the opposite. I don't like it, except that I like it. Because it preludes a reconciliation, which I could die for if it was like you wrote here.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

the characters of house and wilson really do engender strong emotions in us, don't they? and i know just what you mean about not liking/liking the pain they bring us. also, fortunately, this angst gives us plenty of material for our fiction! :)

and, as always, you're quite welcome.
