Aw man...so *sad*. I wasn't expecting this development at all, and now I have to wait HOW long until everything is (hopefully) resolved and okay? Sigh. :-) I am very put upon.

I liked the fact that Brian stuck up for Peter, at least a little. I like that Peter wants to be an elf when he grows up. Don't like the possibility that House will end up separated from Peter...not one bit!

Thanks for updating. I'll be sending subliminal encouragement to your muse for a speedy update!

Hiya. Thank you very much for your comment.

I know, I'm horrible :D

I am very put upon

Oh, I know. Poor thing. *hugs*

Don't like the possibility that House will end up separated from Peter...not one bit!

I thought that I'd alienate all of my readers with this chapter, but still, it felt honest. Every relationship has its ups and downs, right? Even House's and Peter's. Don't worry unduly, I always end a story on an upbeat note.

The encouragement is beginning to seep through, I'll start work on the next chapter right now!!

Ooh...if feedback gets you writing, we can definitely work with that. :-)

I approve of your philosophy on happy endings, by the way. *Especially* if kid!Wilson is involved, because if anyone deserves a happy ending, it's Peter. (Funny...I went to my small local bookstore the other day and asked the clerk to recommend a book with a happy ending. He frowned and said, "Oh...we don't have many of those." Is it any wonder I've escaped to fanfiction? :-)

I'm very much looking forward to your happy ending. I won't nag (I know it's annoying), but I'll...uh...*encourage* eagerly!

[fayding_fast]

Hmmm. I don't know that I've seen many books with happy endings, either. I suppose, as a last resort, you can try Barbara Cartland novels; I guess they have upbeat endings!!

I have just found a new author I like, though: Christopher Moore. I have just read "A dirty job" and it is exceedingly funny, so I strongly recommend that one.

But, as you say, fanfic is best :D

I love your story. Poor House totally dealt with the bullying in the wrong way. I hope he doesn't end up accused of inappropriate behaviour towards Peter. I glad to see that you intend to end the story on an up beat note.

Thanks for your effort in entertaining us all!

I'm pleased that you love the story. You're actually the first person that has mentioned that House didn't deal with the bullying correctly, and of course, he didn't. Bright as he is, he's impulsive and doesn't have a lot of common sense.

Personally, I'm not too keen on stories that end on a downer. Real life is tough enough as it is, so it's nice to read a story that leaves a smile on your face.

Thanks for your effort in entertaining us all!

It's my absolute pleasure. Thanks for leaving a comment. :)
