Thank you; I appreciate your taking the time to comment. I've also written a piece in which House and Wilson talk about the incident, if you'd like to read that (http://lit-luminary.livejournal.com/20975.html).
Thank you for noticing those nods to Chase's faith: it's a conflicted faith, of course, but it's something to reach for, especially in this kind of adversity. And the mood of the piece, for me, crystalized around the mantra.
Had God laughed at the symmetry, enjoyed the irony when House had watched him struggle to walk?
I'm interested in this too--in the parallels between Chase and House's injuries being explored further. I hope canon doesn't drop the ball on this, and that it doesn't become like Foreman's brain damage in "Euphoria," totally forgotten after a couple weeks.
Well, having done the research, I will say that if next week's previews are any indication, canon is not treating the injury, or its course of treatment, with any medical realism, so I don't expect much. (Really, Chase should not have been so much as allowed out of bed for at least two or three days, never mind doing physiotherapy.)
Ah, well: if canon does drop the ball, I'll just have to write fic correcting the mistakes.
I liked both of these - it's true that House does understand, and while he'll never tell Chase that directly, he knows that he indirectly was responsible and he feels as bad as he's capable of.

I just couldn't hope it will be so soon.
