Rating: R
Length: 29,591
Spoilers: takes place after season 3, AU to season 4
Author's Notes: Many thanks to my wonderful betas,
usomitai and
sabinelagrande.
And, wow! This was a challenge! First, because I'm not a fiction writer, and this was a lot of fiction to write. And also because I somehow managed to delete the whole thing when I was at 7,000 words. I thought I'd have to give up for sure. I'm glad I didn't. It may not be great, but it is finished.

Summary: The world changes forever. House and Wilson must cope.
Excerpt:
Wilson is certainly no wolf expert -- this is only the second one he’s actually seen in person and the first was just this morning -- but it looks... normal to him. Certainly, it doesn’t appear to be in any distress. The fur is a mottled brownish, grayish color, darker on the back and fading to a dirty white on the belly and around the muzzle. The wolf’s coat looks slightly scruffy, like it had started shedding and then stopped. Wilson counts the animal’s respirations as the chest rises and falls because he’s not sure what else to do. He’s just started getting closer for a better look at the right leg, which looks a little odd, when the wolf suddenly lifts its head.
Wilson freezes. The wolf yawns hugely, revealing a terrifying collection of yellowing teeth, smacks its lips sleepily, and looks right at him.
Wilson can only mutter, "Oh, shit," because he can’t deny that the blue eyes staring back at him are House’s.
Also, two wonderful works of art were created for this story!
