THREE things he can count on : the pain, Wilson, and YOU !

the pain, Wilson, and YOU !

awww... thank you! someone's gotta look out for his well-hidden heart. *hugs*

So heartbreaking and yet I loved it!
I felt so sorry for both of them, but at least they have each other and it seems that Wilson only can count on two things too.
Great story!

at least they have each other

which makes the pain... bearable, at least. and thank you!

oh! it's true what your friends said. Posting this epilogue just now does make it have more impact!

Yesterday I was resigned to that ending, it was very sad but something I saw as possible. Moreover, in House's mind, clouded by pain and self-deprecation, it was something he was inclined to think, that Wilson would, sooner or later, leave him. But, as I said yesterday, it was heartbreaking.
So I'm very glad you wrote this epilogue, ending on a more hopeful note.

House's mind, clouded by pain and self-deprecation, it was something he was inclined to think

oh, yes! the things that uncontrolled physical pain, and the resultant mental exhaustion, can do to the mind are devastating. so yeah--i stand by the... brutality and truth... of the first portion--but also by the sweet relief of the epilogue!

*hugs Wilson while apologizing for the slap he got yesterday*
*hugs House* (can't hug one without the other, unless the other has done something really stupid)
*cries*
Rereads....
House wearily opens his eyes, meets Wilson's.

It hurts.

I know.

But neither man has spoken.

*cries again*
Thanks for another great one :)

You are offically forgiven, but nightdog_barks and blackmare_9 are now on my LIST, even though they were right .

Three Stages of Masochism. Disbelief; he’s good at that. Hurt; stayed longer than usual in that one today. Thought he’d never get to Anger.

The Three stages were great. I love the idea that House pushes Wilson towards anger so that he'll leave, but Wilson is far too stubborn and far too loving to ever really leave. :)

Wilson is far too stubborn and far too loving to ever really leave

oh--absolutely. when wilson finally Gets A Clue, he's the best!
