Oh, this hurts. I know what you mean about haircuts though, my son was the same way.

[deelaundry]

It was not good. Not good at all.

Thanks for reading

I needed you there, House. We should've been there as a family.

OUCH. It's so sad that that particular thread of pain, that runs through the while series, is flickering even here, when they were physically all together as a family :-(

But... the dialogue was also pretty damned funny! :-)

[deelaundry]

Thanks. The pain's there the whole time, unfortunately. Wilson's ability to cope with it is what goes up and down. : (

[purridot]

... and I forgot the thread about Wilson being afraid that he's an inadequate dad (as he told the therapist, I believe, after his attack?).

I don't think I've ever seen an AU that cut so deeply that it makes me want to cry, and yet, it's so witty at the same time, and not in a satirical or absurd way. That's really very odd (and wonderful).

[deelaundry]

Yes, Wilson's fear that he doesn't love Jack enough is part of this too. Sigh.

Thanks.

*ouch*

At first I was smiling thinking of how I was whenever my mum wanted me to go and get a haircut, which I didn't get until I was like 3 or 4 years old... and she *did* cut my hair when I was sleeping.

And then, an amusing circumstance became an argument and my stomach just knotted.

It’s a very powerful piece and I liked it. I have no idea what the “My father’s son”-verse is, but I’m finding out right now ;)

[deelaundry]

Thanks. This brings up the central conflict of the whole 'verse -- House's need to have his relationship with Wilson in the closet. Usually Wilson copes but after this particular experience, he just can't.

There are several stories in the My Fathers' Son universe. Start with the original (link above) and then the rest of the fics are listed in a separate section on my fic list.

I just read "My father's son" and suffered a whole lot. The story is great, the characters are so well developed that at some point I became one with Jack's point of view and had finished before I knew it, everyone is very well in character and comes through as a three-dimensional person, it's so awesome that it actually *hurts*. And it's an oh-so-sad story to tell. Half of the time I wanted to smack House back from stupidity-land and the other half I wanted to shake some sense into Wilson.

Probably because this is such a sad day for me and my parents also split up when I was around eight, the moving out part was the most hard to read, but I liked it, I always enjoy well written pieces even if it is in a nostalgic kind of way.

I’ll read the rest some other time, I have to go an do all the stuff I was supposed to do when I was reading, although going for a ride it’s definitely out of the question, it’s freezing outside!

[deelaundry]

Mistakes are made on just about every side in the story, aren't they? Out of love, but still.

I'd been nervous about Jack coming through as a whole person in his own right, so I'm glad to hear he did for you. Thanks.

*wibble*

[deelaundry]

I know. Wilson's not happy right now.

[savemoony]

I wouldn't be either!

[hirenkoi]

Oh God... Can´t stop laughing! XDDDDDDDDDD
Wilson is so... mother. \o/

[deelaundry]

He is the mom, isn't he? But here he's getting very tired of having to do so much alone, unfortunately. Thanks.
