I LOVE IT! I think these two would have made awesome friends. Kutner is like House in that he doesn't throw punches, but he's not a jerk, so I think he and Wilson would have really gotten along. :) And I like how you incorporated the alleged short stories!

Thank you! I don't know if Wilson and Kutner could ever have been close friends, but I think they could have been good for each other, given the chance.

I am up far, far too late, but couldn't resist new Mer!fic.

This is outstanding. I want to say more but ... see the "up far too late" thing.

It's so sad to think what might have been, if only.

You were up late! I hope you sleep better tonight!

Oooh, Kutner fic with a side of Wilson... or, is that the other way around? The great thing with this is that I felt we got a really good look at both of them. This was full of great moments, but I particularly enjoyed the small flashes of Kutner's personality - the Klingon/Romulan comparison, the movie, and the way his interactions with Wilson were woven around canon. Wilson was wonderful as well, but that generally goes without saying ;)

Heh - technically it's supposed to be a Kutner fic with a side of Wilson, but nobody puts Wilson in the corner :) I was surprised how easy it was to find five situations within canon that would let the two of them interact away from the hospital.

Thanks for reading!

Really fantastic story :) I love all of the emotion and the great lines and ideas in it! I'm too sleepy to write anything deeper :( but thank you for posting :D

Thank you for reading - and for taking the time to comment (when you could have been sleeping!). I really enjoyed writing Kutner.

[mer_duff]

Thank you! I felt a little guilty about taking that idea away from Kutner (though Wilson only had to hint), but I needed that moment thematically. Hopefully it doesn't take too much away from Kutner's wonderful ingenuity.

Thanks for reading!

Very true. Wilson only gave him the excuse to go back into the room - it was the drinking idea that kept Kutner in the game.
