Why this must be read:
In "Three Stories" - to my mind one of the most brilliantly constructed episodes of any tv-series, ever - House more or less in passing tells the students he's lecturing to about a standing bet he has with a buddy of his. Whenever said buddy gives a patient the news that they are dying, and the patient ends up *thanking* him for it, House pays him ten dollars. It isn't stated in so many words, but of course there's no doubt that this buddy is Wilson.
Pun has taken this standing bet as the starting point for her story Denial. On the surface, she does the rather obvious thing and uses the payment of the bet and the emotional vulnerability brought on by dying patients to get House and Wilson into bed with each other. But Pun is a smart lady, and her fic is far from that simple. It gives us a glimpse of the endless sensitivity and complete callousness of a man both willing to enter into such a bet and able to win it, and it points out to us, as well as to House, how very dangerous Wilson is, despite, or perhaps because of, his artless puppy-dog charm. This Wilson, for all his gentle warmth, is not someone it's safe to fall for. And still...how could House deny him anything?
