They were wrong. He was more than what he held in his hand. Sometimes what we keep, he told himself, is merely what we were left with when everything else went away.
That's just perfect. And what a wonderful job you've done of showing what House is left with, as well as what's gone away.

Lovely lovely images and the picture they paint of House and of Wilson is amazing. And the one I prefer. :-)
Plus I always love a story that explains something along the edges of a series--and the magic box is that.

I haven't much more to say but that was very pleasant for me to read and I liked your attention to detail...the idea of narrowing in on House's possessions as he grew up is not just unique, but its literary. (So rare to find literary fan fics!)

I didn't feel that this trod on what you explored in 'Family Housing' (brilliant fic) at all. For me, this was all about the box. This fits perfectly in with the perception I have of House's belongings. The way he feels about stuff.
I love the way the relationships sit in the story, as well. Very Houseian.
Cheers, and well done.
