LOL a pop tart sandwich! YES! GO HOUSE!

and I really like the end. Yes, getting angry sometimes is necessary for moving on!

getting angry sometimes is necessary

and boy, does wilson have every right to be angry over what happened to his life! house knows that, and cares enough to acknowledge it.

I can't believe it's almost over!

This was beautiful, which is no longer surprising. ;-) I'm glad Wilson can breathe easily again. And I'm glad House recognized that Wilson had to get angry about it. Lovely.

I can't believe it's almost over!

me neither. i'm sitting here telling myself, 'last one goes up in an hour'--yet my brain is still trying to think of more titles... sigh.

Whoa. I'm not entirely sure what you did to this since the last time I saw it, but it's better than it was, and I loved it before. And now ...

In case I never told you this the first time around, I really enjoy the way House is pushing at Wilson here, the way he knows exactly how to bring Wilson's real emotions to the surface when he chooses to do so. He does to Wilson all the same hovering kinds of things that would aggravate House, and of course it works, because they really are so much alike.

That sandwich is a thing of beauty

[kidsnurse]

And somehow, for me, seeing Wilson choose to relax and trust House, is perhaps even more touching than seeing it the other way 'round.

i absolutely agree with this. there's something especially poignant about watching the collapse of someone who prides themselves on self-sufficiency and their ability to care for others.

I just read the whole series through. I loved it. Thank you!

[kidsnurse]

read the whole series

remember--the final vignette goes up this morning! and you're welcome!

[pffff5]

loved the whole scene, the sandwich, the hovering almost disturbing House, so nice, so caring, doing the right thing in his own special way. And Wilson, used to his friend's tricky tricks, not asking for more development. "you did that to help me ? ok then". Those guys are wonderful, both. And this story, one of the best about their friendship.
thanks !

And Wilson, used to his friend's tricky tricks, not asking for more development.

i think if wilson weren't so exhausted (both physically and emotionally) he'd have been a bit more distrustful of house's motives. but then, if he weren't that exhausted, house mightn't have had to intervene!
