#1 seems almost complete, like a drabble. And who can resist the sight of House in a full-sized dolphin costume?

#2 The writing of the first part feels unpolished, but I'm very interested in where it is going. I mean, Wilson dies, then shows up at the synagogue? Also curious as to how House feels about working in a synagogue. So, why does Wilson walk in???? More!

#3 This also seems more or less complete. Where were you thinking of taking it? Or was it too depressing? (I sometimes find writing going that way.) I'm really curious as to your thought process on this one.

1: I suppose I could leave it at that, but then I asked myself why I bothered writing it in the first place, haha. There's more to it but it's mostly just silliness.

2: Oh, it's very unpolished. But yeah - Wilson is dead, but shows up at the synagogue. I dabbled a bit in him being a Vicodin-induced hallucination re: Under My Skin/Both Sides Now, and House being very aware of this fact.

3: The rest did end up being a little depressing, but my problem is that I enjoy depressing. :P I'd meant to round it out in a more uplifting way, but RL hasn't given me the time yet. Thought maybe I'd wait til it's closer to the holidays, anyway.

1. But it's for sick!Wilson! Something has to happen! (I'm getting tired and childish, sorry.) Does House accidentally klonk Wilson on the head with his dolphin beak?

3. I don't mind depressing stories at all. I was wondering if it got too depressing for you to continue. I hope you finish it.

1 - True! So, this wasn't evident in the snippet, but I originally envisioned it as thymoma!Wilson with House using the costume to bring some humor into their lives. But then I reconsidered that and never really got around to including any other kind of sick!Wilson...whoops.

3 - I'm kind of an angst fiend - no story is too depressing. :)

Thanks for reading, and for the encouragement!

House as a dolphin, that would have to be one big costume! Amusing snippet, although I now wonder why Wilson has an innate fear of dolphins (is fear of dolphins a sickness - you could count that as sick!Wilson :) Maybe he watched too much of House's dolphin porn in season 4 and it gave him nightmares ( ... )

1 - Hee, dolphin porn. I guess there must be such a thing as dolphin-phobia?

2 - From what I have so far, Wilson is going to get House to move on with his life, even though House is aware that he's only a hallucination. Not entirely sure how I'm getting there yet, though.

3 - House's effort is genuine. It was just going to be a simple fic in which House does something "nice" for Wilson and they try to enjoy the moment, even though it's a reminder of how little time he has left.

Thanks for reading!

1) I got stuck on House in a dolphin costume. Now Hugh Laurie is wandering around my head dressed that way. :)Very silly.

2) What happens next? Why is Wilson there? I want to know more!

3) This one is sad. I felt bad for both characters, and I have a feeling I know where this is going because the tone is so somber.

1 - Haha yes! I was in a silly mood :)

2 - Wilson is a Vicodin-induced hallucination, and House is very aware of this (re: Under My Skin/Both Sides Now). Still trying to figure out the details, though.

3 - Yeah, it does start out pretty somber. It sort of takes a turn later when Wilson insists that they exchange gifts, but I'm still working out the details there too :)

Thanks for reading!

You are the queen of angst, and I love you for it.

As far as I know, no one has explored Wilson's fear of dolphins. What a great idea.

The line that got to me in the second was Things like sitting in the synagogue, pretending to pray, and acting like everything was going to be fine. It's very poignant. Is House drawing comfort from Wilson's visitations?

The third could be complete, but I'd love for you to continue. Where were you going with it? Feel free to offer vague hints. ;-)

I hope you can get over your writer's block and continue these stories. They're all excellent!

1 - I've wanted to incorporate Wilson's fear of dolphins into a fic ever since it was revealed, haha. Thought Halloween might be a good opportunity to do so.

2 - This is the first/only Wilson hallucination he has, and he does draw comfort from it. It's supposed to be a bit more uplifting by the end, but haven't quite gotten there yet :P

3 - I'm not entirely sure where I wanted this to go, but I have a bit with Wilson perking up and insisting that they do the holidays right and exchange gifts. Don't have all the details yet, though.

Thanks so much for reading!

They're all great -- of course ( ... )

1 - I also took it as a typical Housian joke, but the more I thought about it, the funnier it seemed, and I think my brain just decided to consider it a real fear :) There's a great manip out there of House and Wilson in flamingo outfits...I may have taken some inspiration from there. :D

2 - I completely understand people skipping over sad fics. This was supposed to end in a more uplifting way, but haven't quite gotten there yet.

3 - The next line is actually Wilson admitting that it wasn't stupid :) Part of the reason he's giving House a hard time is that it's a sort of coping mechanism for them both. It was intended to be a mix of angst and humor (it continues with Wilson insisting that they exchange gifts), but again, still working on the actual details. :P

Thanks so much for reading! I think #3 is the one I'm most likely to actually finish, so I'm glad you found it IC so far :)
