Nice!!! Thanks for Wilson's POV. I missed him in the ep. Also nice to include the IV line; I was wondering about that in the show. I wish the House writers would write Wilson as sensitively and in character as you do.

Thank you very much for commenting! It does seem that every time something Significant is going on with House's health, Wilson vanishes into a plot hole somewhere... In any case, I'm glad to hear you enjoyed my characterization (especially as I write Wilson's perspective relatively less often than House's or Chase's).

Very nice! This is an excellent little "missing moment", rings very true to the show and the relationship of these characters. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you! I'm always happy to hear my characterization works for a reader.

Very nicely done, I like the idea that Wilson is dreading that early morning phone call telling him House is dead - because really, if you were House's friend you'd live in fear of that. I wish we'd seen something like this on the show...

Thank you! I imagine Wilson would have to fear that, and that he's had nightmares of House's death/receiving news thereof more than once. I also wish the show had included more House/Wilson interaction (ideally, Wilson would've been the one to pick up the phone), but ah, well: more fodder for the fic writers.

Very touching.

Wilson thinks of Danny and of Amber, and knows losing House would be worse.

Thanks for sharing!

Thank you! I had to include that, because really, if Wilson ranks all his relationships honestly, House is the Most Important.

Darn it, I was going to write one of these, but you got to it first. Very nice!

Doesn't mean you can't write one too!

There can't be enough fic from this episode.

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it, and doubly glad you wrote a fic of your own: there's plenty of room, especially as we have very different styles.
