“You’re going to be okay, House.”

He knows it’s not enough. Not yet, anyway. But as much as he’d made it his own crazy road trip, and as much as it’s still his cancer and his life and his death, none of this was ever going to be just his. It couldn’t be. He’d known it as soon as he’d seen the x-rays, and he’d made it real as soon as he’d plopped himself down on House’s couch for three days of chemo-induced Hell.

“You’re not,” House points out quietly.

“No,” Wilson agrees. “But right now…right now, I think I am.” And despite his earlier breakdown in the shower, it doesn’t surprise him how much that’s true.

The shower break down had me teary...this is where I went for the tissues. Lovely and understated and so them.

Wonderful job, as always, my dear. :-)

(And thank you for the shout-out. <3)

Aw, thanks so much. And you're very welcome for the shoutout - your fic was wonderful :)

Oh, this was just lovely, and what the doctor ordered. For all of us. The end - the works with a blonde beauty attached - is just perfect.

[rslhilson]

Thank you! It took me a while to figure out the ending, so I'm really glad to hear it worked for you.

Too bad House and Wilson can't read your fic. It would give them comfort as it did for me. Kudos.

[rslhilson]

Too bad they haven't read any smut fics, either - they might have gotten some ideas. ;)

Thanks for reading!

Was that a Freudian slip on the spelling of blond? Without the "e" is a male! Cool! H/W lives!!!

Seriously, this was just what I needed. The two of them on the couch, doing the usual silly, naughty, lovely things. Thank you!

[rslhilson]

LOL, whoops! I guess you could call it a Freudian slip, haha. Thanks for catching that...*goes off to edit*

Very glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for reading!

I could see this happening as if it was on my screen. Thank you.

Thanks! Glad you found it realistic!
