Oh, beautiful, the best Making-Up-story I've read so far. I cringed at House going through this without knowing if it would ever help to make things okay again, I loved the 'apology' Wilson made, and the insights he reached in those few minutes, and I loved the way they agreed House's an idiot. Very in character, very compelling, and oh so lovely. I'm so happy you are writing again!!! I'm putting this in my Memories.

Oh, I'm so sorry! Hotmail's giving me so much trouble lately. I'll e-mail again later today or tomorrow from my other e-mailaddress. Please don't think I wasn't delighted to get your e-mails, because I was!!

By the way, love your icon!

I love this. You always catch House's and Wilson's voices so well. Plus the humor and compassion you write you stories with is truly a joy to read.

So Glad you are back!.

Oh, House, I'm so sorry. I loved this because it just totally threw me off. I've been inundating myself in House fic for the past two weeks and also, I thought that I had found a pattern to their canon!friendship in the show that I am comfortable with. Both things, it seemed, hadn't prepared me for reading this fic. For come unknown reason, I was blind-sided by that one line. I couldn't immediately and fully grasp what Wilson meant, and I couldn't intuit how House would react to it. Will this confession soften old boundaries between them? Does this mean Wilson understands House more now? Or does this just mean that he is admitting that he has understood so little of him before? It perked me up, it did, and made me eager (and nervous) to read on. I guess this is the first time I encountered a fic that expresses beautifully the unique unpredictability of their friendship and how tipping points and thresholds are integral to it without having to resort to crude methods (i.e. introducing homosexuality). I guess the line just moved me so

i adore hearing that something i've written has moved someone so much, and made them think; thank you so much for taking the time to let me know.

So good to have you back !

If only this fic could be a major spoiler for the upcoming episodes, dammit...

Thousands thanks and hugs.

[kidsnurse]

and a thousand you're welcomes and hugs right back to you, dear!
