The Body Found, which, given my state of DADFJALKDFJALDJFALJ during and after reading it, well, I couldn't let go unrecced.
I don't know about you, but I've found that I love nothing so much as a long story that has the space and time to grow up into a remarkable being. "The Body Found" does just that; it is long, ponderous, and at the same time, reading it goes by in a flash.
Wilson goes missing and, well, you can imagine what follows. We see how the characters recuperate from trauma: slowly, painfully, and with much confusion. This story really is about recovery and it hurts, it does; and part of that pain is hope. It's House & Wilson-centric with the rest of the cast playing important parts.
At 46,000 words, you may want to reserve a large block of time before starting-- because you
won't want to stop midway.
