Thank you for filling my prompt. This was certainly rather angsty and rather painful to read, but also incredibly well-written, in-character, and believable. It offers the sort of pain that sets a dull, satisfying, and painful ache in your stomach as you read. At least it did for me. :) I appreciate your consideration with regard to the warnings you posted, but to be perfectly honest, the only things that are too much for me to read are death fics and non-con. I'll give anything else a shot.
This was rather good. I do know how you view House and Wilson and I've always found it to be rather interesting. I agree with what you've said in the comments, that House and Wilson will always hurt each other, that they do have some sort of love relationship, and that their ending will never be happy. David Shore's attempts at bittersweet, IMO, truly did fall flat. I will say that my view of them is rather likely not quite as dark as yours, but I don't believe that life in general has happy endings, especially not for House and Wilson. I agree that they both hurt each other, and that they are both much darker than either of them wants to be, or admit. I like reading details into these darker sides of them.
I like the fact that you brought back old characters in a significant way, and the way you introduced the story with Stacy finding out. I like the possessiveness you describe in Wilson toward House, in letting Stacy know he'd won. I feel as though Wilson can be just as jealous an possessive of House as House is over him, but he tries his best to repress it. I also like the point you make about Wilson sleeping with the nurse that Foreman was dating while Foreman was dating her. It really speaks to the more unsavory parts of Wilson's character, and House's knowledge of it. I really do like this line:
Wilson had made the decision that he would not be his cancer, because cancer was boring. It just hadn’t occurred to him that without his medical puzzles or even regular access to a piano, House would be nothing but his addiction.
I can definitely see House sinking further and further into addiction without other things to stimulate him, and with Wilson's impending death sentence.
I like the way you presented the prompt, with House masturbating in the room, and Wilson hearing him, Wilson approaching him and wanting them to be closer. As you said further in the story, people don't change, and I can see House continuing to hold Wilson at a distance. I could be wrong, but as I interpreted things, that is a large part of the reason why Wilson leaves in the end. Because he can no longer handle watching House destroy himself, and keeping that continued distance between them. I could certainly see Wilson being devious enough to play mind games with House, getting House to watch him get off in his office, taking an almost dark pleasure in seeing his expression reflected in House's face.
I like the addition of Julie to the story, especially because we never learn much about her in the series. I like the dark connection you've described her as having with Wilson, attending Amber's funeral, and the negative emotion-filled sex that follows. I like the darkness and animalistic nature that you use to characterize Wilson's sexuality. I like the fact that you show him being selfish, being cruel, and painting what is truly a darkness that lurks beneath his persona.
It was very difficult to read House sinking further into drugs, but I like the fact that House and Wilson are hurting one another equally, because I do believe that is how their relationship is. They will continue to equally hurt one another. I like how you described House as making Wilson watch him die.
