that was gorgeous. lovely, the language and the order of events. i think you did an amazing job. i loved how you kept everything in tengent with the show and yet, the characters (while in character) were entirely your voice. great job.

Andrea would have a field day talking to Wilson about that one.

;)

Great job. The dream sequence was really a well-presented metaphor! And you hit the disease nail on the head (I'm afraid I was diagnosed with the same thing as Wilson -- to the tee).

Please keep writing! I'm excited to keep on reading...

Oh wow! That was absolutely perfect! I loved the idea of Wilson's dysthymia and the sewn into a sweater dream :) You did a great job with Wilson's reluctance to think about hoe he felt about House, and how he actually felt scared when he heard about House. Wonderful job. What I like best is how your story ends AFTER 'the scene' you mentioned in your notes that everyone's messing with. You were just so original, and it was a very clever execution of of emotion. Or lack of, if we get technical! Wonderful job! DEFINITELY a favorite that I will read many more times :)

Finally! A well written, insightful treatment of the "97 seconds" material. You clearly put a lot of thought into this and it shows. If House is the heart of this series, then Wilson is its backbone. You have given us a beautiful glimpse into Wilson's character. This story could only be improved by a surface edit and a little more fleshing out of your "House" portrayal, which came across, to my mind, a little flat - not that he needs to be wacky and outrageous all the time! - but a little more characterization couldn't hurt. I enjoyed this one. Thanks!

loved this!

Brilliant!

Cute I liked their 'talktive' expressions!

Wow... this is probably the greates H/W fanfic I've ever read. I've read alot too. It's just like... yeah... really, really good. Like sherbert. Only slashy. I've tried slashing sherbert, it doesn't work. It is delicious, though. (I've been eating alot of sherbert lately, sorry.)

Totally stunned by the awesomeness,

Oh my gosh.

This was the best fanfic I've read in a very, very long time. It was brilliant House/Wilson- delicate, balanced, and just emotional enough, without being sappy or reminiscent of a made-for-TV movie.

You write Wilson fantastically, by the way. I'm now officially in awe; lovely, lovely story.

I...just had a fic dedicated to me. Well, that's never happened before. I'm--well, yeah.

Legs, when it comes to your fics, I have an entirely different set of standards. And you went way beyond that. I always love what you do with your Wilson. You're not just giving us the same cut-and-dry man over and over again, like with a lot of Wilson-centric fics. Your make him your own. And this is a brilliant explaination of Wilson's reaction during the Tritter arc, which I thought was a little bit emotionless. And would probably also explained what happened during the House brain cancer fiasco, why he wasn't really there and didn't really trying to help, which I think was a bad overlook by the House writers. You make him a more relatable character for me. In a lot of fics, he's worried about House and what he should do about House and his feelings about House. I like seeing a fic or two out there about, yeah, his feelings for House, but also his feelings in general. You make him an actual character, as opposed to just...Wilson, there to get together with House. That's not all he's good for.

On a more personal note, I really kind of, I don't know, understood this Wilson because, while I don't have dysthymia, I'm pretty sure that anhedonia (which I don't know if you personally said anything about, but it's key in this disorder, as I'm sure you found out) is something that I do have. I don't actually know; therapists were never very good at diagnosing me, though I was never very good at doing anything other than deflecting their questions, so I guess we're even. It's not actually that bad, though, because even though it's sort of hard to enjoy things sometimes, enjoyment isn't really necessary, and you crash less off of things too. Not a lot of people say they don't care and actually don't care, so I count myself lucky. I don't know, maybe I'm projecting or being dramatic. It doesn't really matter. I just thought I'd say that, because I understood what Wilson was thinking, the why go to a therapist if I never really talk, should I be upset about this, why don't I feel a certain way about this person sort of thing, though personally if I were Wilson, I would have gone back off the pills. Anyway, I've never really read a character that thought that way before. It was nice.

This is definitely my favorite 97 Seconds fic so far. I'm tired of all the sappy crap and all the Wilson should-I-do-anything crap. You managed to tie that moment in without making it the focus, which I admire. It was a great moment, really, but it wasn't everything everyone's making it out to be. You fit it in perfectly.

I'm glad you posted something. You're definitely one of my favorite fic writers around here. I'm supposed to be reading a friend's script right now, though, so sh. I was never here.

Terrific job, definitely. Brilliant.

Ah, I liked the timeline and how Wilson still kept everything in, even while seeing a therapist (so him). Nicely played how he and House came to accept where they were going and understand each other at the end.

oh... *melts into a happy puddle of house/wilson shipping*
