Very nice & there's some great lines - the freshly peeled scab simile (which I'm guessing reflects House's frame of mind) & this passage is lovely:
The apartment is clean. Isn’t Wilson supposed to go into a tailspin of rage and wreck everything around him, snap chairs in half with the force only a grief-stricken man has? But then again this isn’t the fall of Troy and Wilson’s always been neat.
If the fall of Troy had been brought about by smart doctors instead of largely boneheaded Greeks, it probably woulda been neat and no less tragic for that fact.

Thanks much for reading. I would go on some crazed rant of how House is actually pretty similar to the Iliad, but I shan't because school's out for the summer and I need to get used to that. ;)

Sorry to barge in, but I would've really liked to read about House beeing similar to the Iliad. When you're back to school maybe?

Ahaha, I'm happy to oblige! I can't turn my English major self off just because it's summer

Dude, you have to see "Wilson's Heart." I don't know how many eps you have to catch up on, but it's the second part of the two-part season finale (the first ep is called "House's Head"), and it knocked my socks off in a way they haven't been knocked since "No Reason."

Thanks muchly muchly for reading - you know I always appreciate your comments and I haven't written fic in a while so I appreciate them double. Or maybe triple. ♥

I liked this part:

House is a man without preamble: “I’ve never made anything in your life easier, you know,” he says. “You’re acting like I should have been your personal hero or something but I’ve never fixed anything for you.”

I like that part too - it's actually the first line I wrote after seeing the episode. Thanks so much for reading!

He’s Tom Sawyer for a minute, in the back of the cab Cuddy’s called him, and he wonders what his funeral will be like.

This line was amazing. The Tom Sawyer refrence is just beautiful, and it's so perfectly in character. I just love it so much - there are no words.

Thanks much. I threw in that Tom Sawyer line really last minute, so I'm glad you enjoyed!
