Differential Diagnosis People: Intersections
I know it's not the normal time frame, but this nomination came in and we got the approval from Daasgrrl to move ahead, so I wanted to get this up and out there for discussion. This will clear out the file, so if anyone has fics they've been thinking about, it's a good time to nominate.
As always discussion will remain open for about a week, then the poll will be posted.

Rating: R for themes
Synopsis: A variation on the Schrodinger's Cat experiment, but with Wilson.
Nominated by: perspi
Why should this be in the Hall of Fame? If anyone were to bemoan the lack of original ideas in the world of House fanfiction, I would respectfully point them to this story. Daasgrrl takes several potentially tired Housefic themes (Wilson's missing brother, hurt!Wilson) and combines them into a story that is rich and textured and explores some essential elements of what makes up the Wilson and House we know. The AU component of the story is not obvious at first, as we the readers are forced to figure out what's going on along with Wilson. Daasgrrl draws the two worlds that Wilson's caught between with a sure and deft hand, focusing on the details to tell us where we are. The best part of the story, and the extra whipped topping that makes this story so deserving of the Hall of Fame, is what Daasgrrl shows us about House without Wilson.
Sample from the text:
Light. He remembers light.
There are other things he remembers, of course - the split-second terror, the rush of blood and adrenalin through his limbs, the oh, fuck that starts somewhere in his brain but never makes it out of his lips. Then a tremendous force that pushes him like the hand of a wrathful God. At first nothing but the shock of impact, and then pain, and a fragmentary moment when his brain still insists on fleeing even though the damage is already done. Then nothing.
