The Slow Pace of the Body That Skin is by Alibi Factory (PG-13)
Fandom: HOUSE
Pairing: House/Wilson
Author on LJ:
alibi_factory
Author's website: none
Why this must be read:
The episode "Clueless" gave House fans a seriously juicy tidbit about House's childhood: when he was a kid, his dad was stationed in Egypt, and a bored young House passed the time searching for mummies.
alibi_factory explores this idea with language so gorgeous and images so crisp, you'll be reaching to wipe the sweat and the sand from your brow. But this is more than a flash back story. Scenes of a young House in Egypt are interspersed with scenes of House and Wilson together, connecting, failing to connect. It all fits together beautifully to paint a picture of House and his unrelenting nature.
Over all the art of the story lies in how much it manages to communicate with so few scenes. Read and admire it for yourself. Then be sure to express your appreciation to the author:
