Road Trip Part One

[teamhilson]

Author's Note: Grr. So, the absolute last thing I need is another multi-chapter fic, but this one is only going to be two or three chapters. I wanted to make it a long-ass oneshot, but I'm getting off pretty soon, and I'm still not done typing it up, so I decided to break it up. And plus, it'll probably be another two days before I'll have internet

Yay! I don't normally read pre-series fics, though I'm not really sure why. lol. But I love your writing and I love this. :-)

But maybe I'll just give it a little push. Just in case.

Yes! Push it! lol.

Can't wait for more. :-)

Thank you so much. I rarely read them myself, but this had been torturing me all week, so there you have it.

I'm enjoying this, and I have to agree: I'd enjoy it more without "the oncologist" and "the diagnostician" and "the younger man." Those things distract me and feel forced, because in real life nobody thinks about their friends that way. We think of our friends by name. There can be occasional exceptions, but in general the epithets only make sense when the POV character doesn't know the other one's name yet.

It seems very Houselike for him to be weighing his options with Wilson, figuring out how far he wants to push things and what risks he's willing to take. I love the way Wilson is like a revelation to him and he suddenly knows why everyone else he's ever known has been somehow deficient.

Okie doke I'll try to stick more with the names.

This has been my personal experience, when I have met certain people throughout my life - some people are a perfect fit, some people not so much.

Glad you're enjoying it. Thanks for the review.

I realize that I've already posted my reply to your comment twice before but livejournal and my work computer hate me, so I'm going to try this again. Maybe it'll show up right this time. *crosses fingers*

can you not use epithets so much? they're annoying. pronouns! real names! they're your friends, i promise!

Haha. Ok.

i'm looking forward to the rest of this

Thanks!

"ten ties for a three-day conference"
LOL. So Wilson.

"House chose to stare up at the ceiling instead of acting out what kept crossing his mind."
"this other slightly glinting thing that made his stomach roll over."
My, oh my. What a trip.

"Once they entered Tennessee"
You make me almost wish I had gone for such a trip myself.

"attached to Wilson"
How I like the love who dares not say its name.

I'm not even annoyed at the thought that by writing this you'll slow down "Where there are no happily ever afters" because they're both so good in their very different ways.

[If I can make a tiny suggestions, could you put your fics behind an lj cut? It makes for a lot of scrolling on my friends page. No pressure if inconvenient, though.]

I can't wait for the rest.

I took a roadtrip to Nashville a couple of years ago. A lot of bars lol.

Sure, I'll fix it today.

this is just great! one teeny lil nitpick, i thought Vertigo was a favorite movie of Wilson's, not House's (it seems more like Wilson's type of movie and he's the one with the poster in his office). Other than that this is superb. :)

[teamhilson]

I know, but just because it's Wilson's favorite movie doesn't mean it can't be House's too. At the end of "Safe" House comes in and Wilson is already watching it and he sits down and joins him. :-P

Thanks so much for reading and reviewing!

A pink slug-bug? Geez, I'm cringing and I'm a girl! I used to want a bug but it would have been yellow. ::shakes head:: Pink? I had to laugh at that.

This was very good. You did a good job with writing their characters and yet still have that sense of unfamiliarity that would have been there since they didn't know each other well then. Good job.

[teamhilson]

Thanks! I just love writing them as brand new to each other.

I, too, am a girl, and I, too, cringe at the idea of a pink automobile.
