( The two men were in a raft, floating in the middle of who knows where. The sun was shining, the current rocked the boat gently, and a soft breeze carried far away the sound of the men's bickering. )

OMG this was so wonderful!! :D Very few dialogue-based fics can hold my attention, but this was so brilliantly written, and it made me laugh <3 Oh House, we love you!
Very much in character, I could just hear their voices in my head while reading it, as if it was actually happening!
Thank you for writing this!

Glad you liked it! House and Wilson have very distinctive voices, I'm happy they sounded right to you.

Brilliant! Dialogue fics are a pretty tough gig, but you pulled it off perfetly. House is House and Wilson is Wilson--you'd know it even if they never used each other's names. And I love the gradual revelation of the situation: They're shipwrecked, they wrecked a ship, they wrecked a stolen ship, they wrecked a stolen ship naked, and then they get rescued in flagrante.

"Come on, Wilson. You'd never eat something as pet-like as a turtle."

Funny 'cause it's true.

Thanks!

Dialogue fics are risky, I'm glad it worked out.
