I loved this! A very plausible answer to this particular finale plothole. I really enjoyed the idea of House teaching Wilson to ride, and both were wonderfully IC.

(Was this really your first fanfic? If so, I'm super impressed. You write like a pro!)

Thanks so much for taking the time to read and comment! I would've liked to have gone into a detailed Housian lesson, but my "technical consultant" (friend who just got his motorcycle license) is currently in India!

Yes, it's my first fanfic ... but I write non-fiction for a living. Thanks for your kind comments!

I smiled and laughed the whole way through this. It's a wonderful piece and you answered the how did Wilson learn to ride a bike question perfectly.

And WOW, if this what you write for your first ever fanfic, I can't wait until you're an "experienced" writer. Please promise you'll write more, especially for camp?

[sassyjumper]

Thanks so much! I'm glad you liked it :)

Please promise you'll write more, especially for camp?

Hmm, maybe? I do like feverish!Wilson as much as the next gal.

As soon as I reada the first line I thought 'wow, why hsn't she written before?' - I was wondering the other day if you had and here you are :)

That was great, great dialogue, great situation, great everything.

I love this line- House sighed loudly. “Wilson. We’re defying convention. Defying the law. Defying death itself. And you want to do it in a Ford Taurus?” - excellent product placement!

I too have wondered how/why Wilson learnt to ride a motorcycle - it seems so unlike him, and his reactions at the beginning of this are spot on, and then in the end he decides to just go with it - lovely.

Now you need to unlock this and post it to the comms....please?

Thank you so much! I'll think about posting to a comm...wanted to test drive it here first (bad pun intended) : )

Heh, and I was just hoping for missing scenes!

I like this a lot. :-) I wouldn't have guessed it was your first fic. I particularly love the Safeway line.

A lot of writers team up with a beta reader to give them feedback before posting, some use 'first readers,' which I think are a smaller group of friends who provide essentially the same function, and some don't use anything at all. So it's up to you.

Thank you for reading and commenting!

I was just hoping for missing scenes!

Glad to be of help! There is, of course, a lot of fodder for fiction set post-finale. But I think there's also a ton of potential for "missing scenes" during that final arc.

[srsly_yes]

This is a marvelous missing scene! There are too many funny and IC lines to quote, but "Safeway" deserves a shout out, to be sure. Like everyone before me, I'm in awe of your writing skill. It's witty and very polished.

I hope you will consider posting it to house_wilson so more fans can enjoy it.
