I'm re-reading this over my morning cup of coffee, and smiling. Again. I've noticed and liked the few little changes you made since the last draft I saw. Otherwise, you'd be lying in your office puking, praying for a merciful death. What a very ... Housey way to put it.

And I could absolutely see Wilson being afraid that House will add to his misery rather than helping. I get the feeling in this story that House has done it before, made Wilson suffer a bit worse when he had this kind of headache. Maybe not for very long -- just as Wilson didn't prolong the torture when he did it to House -- but I'm sure House has done that at least once.

I really like the way you write "Wilson and House play Let's Pretend." They'll pretend House isn't human, has no feelings; they'll pretend Wilson can't see through it. And it's very touching and often (like it is here) very funny to watch the double act.

just as Wilson didn't prolong the torture when he did it to House

oh, it looked pretty drawn out to me! and... it bothered me when house was going for his coffee and wilson yelled that water would be better. for a migraine? no. my doc says the only time coffee and cigarettes are to be encouraged is during a migraine, as both constrict blood vessels. however. wilson's medical faux pas wasn't nearly as exciting as the time house claimed to have taken 1000mg of benadryl! i still maintain that since then, we've been watching house's ghost--even the immortal house wouldn't have lived through that dose! /medical inaccuracy rant

SO GOOD! You rock at writing, you know that?!

I love House being nice to Wilson for the sake of being nice. And Wilson finding out and NOT telling House, to let him think his cover is still intact... oh so cute.
*grins happily*

*goes back to learning with a happy mind*
Thanks so much for cheering me up with this!

Thanks so much for cheering me up with this!

glad to do it! happy learning!!

Without being in the least angsty you've pointed out what I think is one of the biggest tragedies of House's life

and there you have the 'deeper' reason that i wrote this. yeah, i wanted to do a lighter piece--but i also saw the potential for the poignance of house having to come up with a 'cover story.' thanks for recognizing that as well.

[kidsnurse]

wait a second here! the reason i asked you to be a first reader is because your analyses of house and wilson and all the aspects of their "stupid, screwed-up friendship" just take my breath away!

so i can spell, utilize grammar in a (generally) correct manner, and usually string together an actual plot. i wasn't looking for a traditional beta--i was hoping to be able to feed off your brilliant analytical ability. and that's precisely what i'm doing, m'dear; don't sell yourself short!
