Oh, that was lovely, Wilson giving House just what he needs at this moment in time. Very nice.

[blackmare]

Thanks.

:-)

I don't, of course, expect anything like this to happen on the show, but it makes sense to me that it could.

[srsly_yes]

Very nice, very civilized. If only it 7x16 would play out this way.

*smiles*

I expect to enjoy Monday's show regardless, but this would be nice, wouldn't it? They're not out of the woods yet by any means, here, just taking a break.

You know I'm a huge sucker for just this kind of scenario. What makes this one special is the attention to detail - the smell of an unused guest room infected by Sam's territorial femininity, the sight of Wilson's unmade bed and shoes sitting out. Nice work.

[blackmare]

The details mostly came about because House would have needed a reason not to sleep in his own bed. Wilson's room providing a lived-in comfort that House's bedroom-turned-disused-guest-room didn't ... that made sense. That was a reason House could (just barely) accept.

Well done. I liked the way you added the details. Made the story realistic and comforting.

[blackmare]

Thank you!

Really, this little scene is almost nothing but the details. I needed a reason for House to do what he did, and those little things added up to one. Glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks! It was a pleasant little thing to write.
