Oh, yay! Stick the knife in and twist it good. The one-story house was a good touch. The domestic tranquility was sweet and funny. And the ending was just perfect.

Thanks so much! Stacy is not so good with the hints in this one, is she?

[nogah]

this is wonderful. House as a father made my heart stop with joy-it's so touching! I love it.

[deelaundry]

I think he could make a good Dad - with the right partner who'll do all the "boring" parts (hee). Thanks!

I was just musing a couple of days ago how wonderful it would be if you wrote another story in this universe. Maybe I have a magic power to make fanfic dreams come true! It was so nice to see the guys during their happiest era.

So many delightful details: opportunistic but disabused Stacy, the "lady" animals, Wilson's distinctive scent, the labyrinthine sub-division, House's tame side (!), and Wilson's secret machiavellian streak. Hurrah!

I really loved this line: "Stacy, our little chat has been wonderful. Good luck with that divorce thing." He patted her shoulder patronizingly and headed to the door, with Wilson in tow.

You must have had a lot of fun writing this.

[deelaundry]

I definitely think you have magic powers. : )
Yes, this was very fun to write. House & Wilson are building walls to protect themselves even here, but within their own castle they are very, very happy. Thanks!

I never liked Stacy at first, but by the end of her run I felt sorry for her... now I feel even more sorry for her! But at the same time this fic is great. I love the "My Fathers' Son" universe, and I'm very pleased to see more of Jack. He's definitely his parents' biggest fanboy!
Mean!Wilson was a bit scary though o_o

I thought House & Stacy's interactions were great at the beginning and would have liked to have seen them when they were in their relationship (flashbacks, I guess). But that arc was not quite the right time for House/Stacy and the time in this fic is most definitely not! Poor gal.

You are so right that Jack is the ultimate H/W shipper!

Wilson is not trying to be mean; he's trying to protect his family. And really, how could he be friends with Stacy now?

I enjoyed another glimpse of Jack’s world. I really hate Stacy. Any chance of a fic that centers on the attack on Wilson? Since it was responsible for so much angst, I have always been curious about the details especially since House was so much more upset about it than Wilson.

[deelaundry]

Thanks! Aw, Stacy's not that bad! She didn't know about H/W - just trying to see if "the one" has some spark for her still.

Your question got me thinking more about the attack. I don't know if I can write it because (1) painful; and (2) I wouldn't want to mess up any medical details. But I do know now why Wilson didn't try harder to get House to come back. It wasn't because he didn't want House back; it was because he wanted House back too much and that triggered some leftover guilt from the beating. Hmm, maybe that doesn't fully make sense. But I don't want to spoil you in case I do write the scene!

Ooh! Ooh! Pick me!

If I go there, you know you'll be the first person I'll call.
