My God. That was...I'm gonna go with emotive. And VERY dark, but I can't say I wasn't warned. If there is a story that contains more House whump than this, I will be very surprised. And a bit scared. (Hence why I will not be checking out those other contractverse fics. I'm not sure my psyche can take it. But lo and behold: a happy ending! A Wilson-House bromancy one! I'm so glad I can leave the story happy. But it didn't lessen the impact of all that trauma. I have a feeling this story will stay with me for a while, and I may have more coherent thoughts about it later, but alas, I will probably then lack the motivation to review again. Ho hum. Anyway, I loved the story, you've clearly got a lot of talent XD
Third chappie - the missing scenes- were sort of...um. Arbitrary? but besides that, this was BRILLIANT. Especially the sort of thing I've been looking for; I'm a sucker for self-sacrificing!House. perfect mix of angst and humour towards the end; and you have the character portrayal down pat, at least as much as is possible considering what circumstances you threw them in.
Oh, this just about broke my heart. I loved it; I absolutely loved it. I don't usually like reading stories that are written with many many short scenes (because they usually leave me feeling as if the story was choppy), but this... this was so expertly done. You manage to say so much from so little words in the short scenes while at times leaving things in the air and letting the reader work things out for themselves - brilliant. I loved every second of this.
Your House just tugs at my heartstrings and I love him. I also adore your Wilson and of the original characters as well - which says a lot, I think, as I'm not normally a fan of OC's. Clarence (in the scene where he confronts the guy in the elevator) was just 3. And the cook, loved her as well. I loved the analogy you used for House at the end: a "Golem." Very nice description, I think. Hm, you know, I love the DVD extras/missing scenes/alternate ending as much as I loved the story itself. I'm not sure which ending I prefer actually - I love them both that much. I was wondering, can I host this wonderful fic on my site (with credits and all to you of course) at: http:/scryoko.ej.am/
Just speaking for myself on this, but I think the story is wonderful. Yes, you have mistakes here and there, but it IS a masterpiece all in of itself. Many best-selling authors even purposely break the rules of the English language (apparently just because they CAN) and it doesn't take away from the story at all. I also find it strange, that the first 10 pages of reviews, love the story (a few who don't, but that's life); but the last page have a few "anons" who hate it. Well, I call sockpuppet on that matter. As it stands, you have many people who support you, and your story is very good. I hope that the few who don't share that opinon, don't put you off from writing more!
I've just reread this story, so I figured I'd review it again. It is still a very unique, dark, twisted story, but I realized reading it this time that your lack of technical skills actually detracts from the story. This story is just filled with grammatical problems. If you proofread this or got a beta for it, I feel certain that the fic would actually reach its full potential - because it truly is an incredibly interesting story. I'm sure there is no end to the number of people who would be willing to just do a technical proofread of this - heck, even I'd be willing.
I can't read this. It's so badly executed that it's distracting. Is this the reaction you want from readers? (I doubt it, because your attempt at dark and 'edgy' subject matter is intended to evoke shock from your audience, so I assume you want them to actually be able to read it.) Gimmicky prose isn't art, it doesn't make you avant garde. It makes you sound illiterate. Stop it.

I find it interesting that after Panda, there is a sudden influx of these kind of reviews. Not saying anything-directly-but it is curious.
I hope you don't pay attention to that. Concrit is fine but it seems excessive to keep on with 'shame on you' and stuff. I can tell you put a lot of work into this, and tie. I thought it was good, personally.
If I were you, I might take off the anon (I know but...). At least they'd have to identify themselves.
Best of luck to you.

This is worse than Twilight. No redeeming qualities and riddled with wrong punctuation marks. No wait, I take that back. At least Twilight has some sort of plot, as stupid and convoluted as it is. This is just a big orgy of drama, idiocy and bad characterization.
Fanwits who like this are worse than Twihards.

This fic is an absolute piece of shit. Bad characterization, incredibly bad writing, spelling and grammatical mistakes. What the hell is wrong with you, posting crap like this? You should be ashamed of yourself.
