Good start. Two nitpicks with spelling, ladies.

Um...pretty sure it's not. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professor_Moriarty

Very nice! You have very clear and efficient style, and this is a lot like how I'd picture it would go on the show.

* a very clear and efficient style. D'oh.

Ouch. That was beautiful, in its bleak, hurt-y sort of way. This is how I'd imagine it would go on the show. And loved the Wilson characterisation here!

Wonderful. The reactions of each of the characters were spot-on, and I loved the brief description of House as synonymous with "disaster" at the beginning.

Interesting point with the scars... He'd have to have a visible scar on his neck after getting his jugular ripped by a bullet. Make-up's going to have a busier job next season, I guess (at least, I hope they think of it too).

Anyway. Great ficlet.

i very much enjoyed the entire piece, especially since, once the episode ended, all i could think about was the Fanfic Anticipation. you certainly did it justice.

but above all else, it was the phrase "...faded into the silence of her sincerity..." that completely grabbed my attention. not only are both of the reactions encompassed in the sentence truly perfect, the phrase itself is fabulous. a quiet and lyrical way to express a very clear moment. lovely.
