This was... so right and so painful.

Thank you.

[kidsnurse]

you are so welcome, darling. i'm glad you liked it.

[srsly_yes]

Aha! Snap I got it. The breaking of the friendship. That is so very sad. Could very well be canon.

[kidsnurse]

Could very well be canon.

in my frightening little mind, sadly, it is, indeed, canon. the writers' Magical Reset Button? it didn't work so well for me. so i create KidsNurseKanon, and that is where i live.

this is absolutely gorgeous, hon :) i mean... breathtaking, really... amazingly beautiful... the emotions are so real, so heartrending, and the wording you chose is flawless, artistic and poetic... very well done :)

[kidsnurse]

oh, wow! *blushes* thanks so much; you're too kind.

[alanwolfmoon]

ow. just... ow.

this was really, really good.

house is still trying to belive wilson is his friend until he can't anymore, and it snaps.

[kidsnurse]

poor house, huh? lucky for us, though, that wilson decided in Birthmarks that "I'm not even sure we get to choose our friends." because otherwise, we would have had to actually watch house go through something like this, and that would've killed me, i think.

Yeah...it would have laid me out there too. Ah, GOD; this hurt so MUCH! I was actually physicaly uncomfortable, with globus sensations in my throat.

[kidsnurse]

which means... you enjoyed it? or... at least you felt it.

[leakey_lover]

Ohmystarsandwhiskers. What a relief, no bad guys.

Absolutely wonderful. Thanks heaps.

[kidsnurse]

no bad guys

no--just two messed-up, confused, miserable, lonely people doing their very best to survive. wilson, especially--and yeah, now that i think of it, house too--always bring to my mind that quotation that mentions 'leading lives of quiet desperation'. or something along those lines.

[leakey_lover]

It was Thoreau: "The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation."

Your writing is lovely.
