It scares you when Wilson starts laughing, and you think you've finally broken him. You do try to take his advice, but nice tries are worthless.

This line hit me SO hard. It's beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time, and just oh so perfect. Also, the line about Wilson being a constant in Houses life is lovely too, because you know that no matter what House says, he knows it.

This is BRILLIANT. The characterization is spot on and Houses thoughts sound truly real. You say so much with so little and the result is incredibly poignant. One of the better things I've read in a long while. Mem'ing! Thanks for the fantastic read!
