A Love Restrained by Esse (R)
Fandom: HOUSE
Pairing: House/Wilson
Author on LJ:
summerfling
Why this must be read:
I have a particular weakness for the painfully beautiful, the beautifully painful, and this story always floors me for that very reason. It is exquisite in every detail, and every detail tears at your heart. Esse describes with melancholic grace the torment of giving what you know will never be returned, of touching without hope of having, and she captures the kind of overwhelming love that can make you resign yourself to taking what is offered, even when it's no more than a pale shadow of what you really want. This fic is bleak, but it is also gorgeous beyond words.
