What a truely great story! And so incredibly sad and full of wisdom. It reminds of what House said at his father's funeral. "I am what I am because of him; for better or for worse."
Thanks so much for sharing!

nicely written. and a very satisfying ending.

Wow, that was really intense and very emotionaly charged. I don't know what I would do in Wilson's place. Leave the child to be abused or try again. Such a tough thing to face. I'm so glad he got his House back in the end though. What a really great and different story, I really enjoyed it. Thanks so very much for sharing it!

Wow that was sad. You've really piqued my interest in kabbalah, though, I might have to go do some reading up. I liked the exploration of the alternative reality and the conclusion that, more or less, things happen for a reason. House had the childhood he had, in order to become the man he became. It's not a stretch to imagine that without the severe discipline (as much as it is awful) an exceptionally intelligent child might just end up on a wayward path. Great job, although very sad.

Holy crap.

Actually, from the way Wilson's faring as a dad, I'd say that John and Blythe actually did a pretty good job. You know, except for the whole abuse bit. But House (the canon House) went to med school (even if he did get chucked out twice) and became a doctor, while Amendment!Greg seems to be...well, a street kid. God, poor Wilson! It must be so painful to have to face his son and know who he had the potential to become.

This story is becoming so heartbreaking. I wonder how much longer Wilson's going to have to endure his regrets and heartache. No matter how much a person wants to do the right thing, it can always go so terribly wrong. Poor Wilson, I feel so bad for him. Can't wait for more, thanks for sharing :)

O-M-G! That's all I can say. Update soon please!

Aww no! That's no good. You almost had me crying. Poor Gregory.. Poor Wilson. TT^TT

Wow. That was wrenching. Really interesting twist. I'm not sure how you're gonna get out of this one, but I'm sure it will be interesting.

OMG! Stunned is my word of choice. All I can say is the road to hell was paved in them. Can't wait for more; just brilliant!

The way to the hell is paved with good intentions.

This is one of those be carefull what you wish for type of scenarios!

OOH I KNOW! THE GUY ON THE LAWN IS HOUSE. LIKE, CANON!HOUSE. Because of quantum. Yeah. XD I just deleted a really rambling explanation that in fact, explained nothing about the mechanics of time travel/parallel universes/alternate selves. I shall rely on updates instead, methinks, considering I'm no quantum physicist. :) UPDATE SOON YOU!

Wow...this is a really interesting story. Sounds like the "old House" is coming through the little boy.

This was heavy... The 'old' Gregory House literally died! And Wilson has no idea how to 'deal' with little Gregory. This is as challenging as it gets.
