Fandom: HOUSE

Why this must be read:
The second of Moonlash's studies in Wilson that I've chosen for you tonight delves into one of the least attractive things about the character - his adulteries. Wilson has cheated on his wives in the past and is likely to do so again, this much is canonical fact, and no matter what mitigating twists we might put on it as fan writers, infidelity is not a pretty trait. Which is why I find this look at Wilson's marital indescretions so fascinating.
Moonlash doesn't make excuses for Wilson's behaviour, nor does she place the blame anywhere but squarely on his own shoulders. Unlike many writers in the fandom, she fully acknowledges that the reasons for his inability to stay faithful are to be found not in the surrounding circumstances, but within himself, and in four brief scenarios she lets us glimpse what those reasons might be. The result is an intelligent, sensitive portrait of an intelligent, sensitive man who despite his successes is completely and utterly lost. The second part in particular rings so true that it still makes me reel.
