I loved the way you compared the three boys together. And the way James wonders about a sister...lovely. Just one question, though- what's Blue Birds? Do zou perhaps mean Girl Scouts? I was a Scout, all the way to Senior and I don't remember Blue Birds... then again- could have that been the chapter for really young ones? *can't remember*

[nightdog_barks]

... what's Blue Birds?

Blue Birds are the little-kid version of Camp Fire Girls. When I was a child (back when dinosaurs roamed the earth, hee!) there was no Girl Scout troop nearby so I was in Camp Fire Girls instead.

It will be interesting to see if any former Camp Fire Girls recognize this!

Thanks for reading! You're my first reviewer ... heh!

I was a blue bird! actulay I was a spark first, made it all the way up the ladder to horizon. not many of us around and they changed the format so there's no blue birds any more. nice to find in a fic.

... I was a spark first ...

See, I had no idea they'd changed the names! What a nice surprise.

... nice to find in a fic.

*grins*
Isn't it funny when that happens? When you see something you thought nobody else knew or thought about?

Thanks for reading!

Guh. Gut-wrenching. And... that's about as much as I can think for right now. This deserves another read-through. (And another, and another...)

Thanks, nwcmwfan15!

Excellent job. I love the discription of David's paranoia at the Thanksgiving dinner, especially the line, "They'd thought he was kidding, at first. Being funny. He wasn't." I also like that you claimed David as the smartest of the three, when most anyone who watches the show would assume that James must be the smartest person in his family. It goes to show- just because your brain works quickly doesn't mean it works well.

Many thanks, ennui_blue_lite! I'm glad you liked it.

Sadly enough, that part was easy to write because something very similar happened in real life many years ago to a distant family member. It was the first time they knew something was wrong too.

I'm thinking there's a lot we don't know about Wilson's family. Heh!

Sorry to hear that. Something similar happened in my family and I used it in a House fic, too (also about Wilson reflecting on his brother...well, sort of). Fan fiction is so cathartic, yeah?

Anyway, I just wanted to leave some love for this story, since it's absolutely brilliant. Very deep and moving. I hope you write more in the future!

Absolutely agree.

Many (shy) thanks for your lovely comments ... I'm writing steadily now and posting in this comm, house_wilson, and my own writing LJ, nightdog_writes.
