Dissonance by Bironic (PG-13)

Fandom: HOUSE
Pairing: Wilson/Julie, Julie/OMC
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] bironic
Author Website: n/a

Why this must be read:

This story is a beautifully done look at how a relationship dies. There are no non-guilty parties, and everyone gets hurt. Bironic's characterization of Julie is unusually good. Generally, even in stories where Julie isn't portrayed as a prissy bitch, she's still not particularly interesting. In this fic we see a Julie who is a three-dimensional adult with flaws and motivations worth exploring.

I feel certain that if the writers of House chose to give us the back story on the end of Wilson's marriage, they could not do any better than this story. Bironic's House and Wilson could not be more spot on. They are exactly the guys I see on screen. Her excellent writing and deft use of canon events makes it hard to tell where the canon leaves of and the fiction begins.

'Shipper that I am, I have to add that despite the fact that there is no explicit House/Wilson in this piece, their devotion to each other is very much on display.

An excerpt to whet your appetite:
It's the silence that gets them in the end.

The griping was awful, but this almost makes him yearn for it again. Now they speak to each other in terse notes slapped on the fridge—"Pick up dry cleaning," "Home late tonight"—and know each other by small disruptions around the house, objects shifted in daily life: the keys tossed in a different position in the bowl by the door, the mail left open on the table, the toothpaste rolled a little further.



This is one of the stories I was most excited to rec this month. I really hope that you read it, and that you tell [livejournal.com profile] bironic how amazing it is.
