Two Ancient One-Shots
Whilst attempting to do an index for my stories, I discovered that still I had two one-shots over at the Pit that hadn't migrated over here. So, here they be:
WHERE WERE YOU? [rated G, House-Wilson friendship]
Greg House and James Wilson have been friends for a long time. They’ve discussed everything from movies to women to politics and religion. ( Read more... )
Who knows. In the show Wilson sent mixed signals at least 3 times when House admitted some weakness. He reacted in a total unexpected way, denying his friend’s pain, talking to him as if he was a junkie, teaching him useless lessons.
I’m just not sure how Wilson would react if House stopped being stubborn and overly proud, if he just stopped being the House we know. I don’t know...
I love that sentence : “Wilson will always be here, because House will never ask him to stay”. As long as House hides the severity of his pain, Wilson is free to stand by his side or not. It’s about a man being friend with another man. If I got you right, House is afraid that if he admits this pain, he, himself, will drown because he’d have stopped fighting, and Wilson being by his side will no longer be a free decision. Their relationship would be influenced by new entities. Pain/need/dependance.
I’m confused...
"WILSON: He's no different than anyone else with cancer. Once you tell, then every conversation is about that."

yup--you nailed it! also, i believe that house equates vulnerability with weakness, and weakness with pity--and i don't think he could ever tolerate believing that wilson pities him [even though wilson doesn't, house might think he would if house allows his vulnerability to show]. hope that makes sense!

I'm so relieved you considered my point of view without bashing me.
vulnerability/weakness/pity...how can someone like House deals with this.
I couldn't ? could I ?
That's not the point.
Eager to hear from you
Thanks, the usual,

sweetie, no! i'd never do that to anyone; it's not in my nature. but furthermore, you've been on of the most loyal followers of my work, virtually since i began posting here, and i value your opinion!
i used to post my fics only at one other site. but at that site, praise is freely given, whether it's deserved or not--and that isn't how a writer grows or improves. so i came to lj, because i hoped to find readers who aren't afraid to offer suggestions or criticism or analysis. and boy, did i find the greatest bunch of readers, you included!
and i'll tell you something--the comments, analysis, and concrit are my favorite type of comment. and if they lead to a spirited discussion? all the better, in my opinion!! because it keeps things interesting, and helps me to improve my writing--so we all benefit.
Thanks, the usual
no, hon--thank you, for faithfully commenting, and for sharing your perceptions on our favorite two guys!!

I love your insights on our two boys. They're often like an echo of my own perception. And when they're not (I don't know if that ever happened actually, I couldn't come up with an instance), I love to discuss it with you.
Nice meeting you.
