I loved that you had Cameron keep the corsage House gave her on the date -- it's a perfect little detail that's probably true! And it actually made her easier for me to relate to -- it's a very human thing to keep mementos from past relationships. Although it does admittedly make me think of myself as a 6th grader more than as a grown woman, as Cameron obviously is. (Which is exactly why -- to me -- you nailed her character perfectly right there. She's just pitifully naive.)

I also loved the "He needed to learn that persistence was useless if you weren't really meant to be together" line. Talk about being in denial! Again, you just nailed it.

Stacy's piece was also very enjoyable. It all felt very authentic to me -- again, wonderful job with her character. I also loved Wilson's piece (of course), especially the ending -- "It didn't seem to matter how they spent their time, so long as they were together. And, in the end, they always were." Such simple sentiments for such a complex relationship, but it worked perfectly.

And now, finally, House. It's probably going to be no surprise that I liked this one, too. The part about Stacy and how he couldn't look at her without remembering was particularly poignant. And of course I loved the part about Wilson -- how it was so matter of fact, his feelings. That's probably just how House would see it.

Sorry about leaving you this mammoth feedback, but what can I say? You wrote a very insightful, interesting piece and I just couldn't not tell you how much I enjoyed reading it! Now, of course, I'm going to have to try to hunt down any other House/Wilson fiction you've written. :3

Keeping the corsage struck me as something that Cameron would do. I'm a bit of a hoarder myself, and I've kept far less significant things from people I wasn't even obsessed with *g* Her initial refusal to accept that House isn't interested in her made me want to slap her, because I've run into people with that determination in the past, and it's incredibly awkward for the person they're fixated on.

And she is totally in denial. To the point that I don't think she even sees things that don't fit her view of the world.

Stacy worries me a little, because I don't like the lack of clarity in canon about why House fought so hard for her and then kicked her out. And I don't like her much *g* So putting myself inside her head was me testing myself. I'm glad you liked what came from it.

Wilson was surprisingly hard. I usually have no trouble writing Wilson, but I think it was because I was writing a different dynamic to my usual version of Wilson.

House was the hardest part of the LOT. I knew what I wanted to say with it, I just wasn't sure how to.

Never apologise for leaving long feedback *g* Long feedback is love and I thank you for it from the bottom of my heart :D And everything else I've written in this fandom is posted on this journal. I've only just started writing House/Wilson and it's been running my life lately *g*
