Anger Management by Moonlash (R)
Fandom: HOUSE
Pairing: Wilson/Julie, with undertones of Wilson/House, if you want to see them

Why this must be read:
James Wilson is a nice man. He is friendly and kind where House is hostile and scathing, ordinary where House is excentric, a simple Watson to the flamboyant genius of his friend's Holmes. Except, of course, that none of this is strictly true. The more we see of him on the show, the closer we look, the harder it is to get a grip on his character, and the more obvious it becomes that perhaps "nice" isn't the word to describe him at all. Moonlash is a writer who understands this intimately, and who likes to explore what may lie beneath the surface of Wilson's well-adjusted exterior. Tonight, I've got two of her stories lined up for you.
The first one, Anger Management, is set in the wake of the episode "Detox" and its explosive confrontation between Wilson and House over House's drug problem. It's a close look at the anger and frustration Wilson harbours, not only towards the best friend who so stubbornly refuses to see his own good, but towards his wife, towards himself, towards his life as a whole. It's a dark story - disturbing, even - and with its deeply sensual attention to detail, it slips beneath the skin. You might not agree with this take on Wilson, but I can almost promise it will haunt you. And if you're anything like me, the intensely physical descriptions will leave you breathless. This is complex, raw, heartbreaking and chilling, and, at least to my mind, as shatteringly erotic as writing can get without actually being porn. Simply put, this story is extraordinary.
