Letters of Transit by Nightdog (PG-13)
Fandom: HOUSE M.D.
Pairing: House/Wilson
Author on LJ:

Why this must be read:
The story I'd really like to rec of Nightdog's is the ancient Rome AU series "The Annals" (Part 1/Part 2/Part 3), but that's technically a work in progress, which isn't allowed here, so I'm sneaking in those links and recommending another of her wonderful stories, "Letters of Transit." In the course of eight very short chapters, House receives a series of postcards from Wilson, only they aren't from Wilson—at least, not from the Wilson he knows. What House first believes to be a practical joke transforms into something that inspires him to muse on parallel worlds, who he and Wilson are, and what they could be. Well-written and beautifully concluded, alternately snappy and lyrical, funny and haunting, "Letters of Transit" is a definite "don't-miss" if you like stories with a touch of sci fi and/or stories in which House makes the first move. It's even illustrated with stamps for each postcard.
Excerpt: He allowed himself to briefly consider other suspects -- his Fellows, an old college friend -- but dismissed them immediately. No. This was interesting. This was tricky. This had depth. This had the fingerprints of James Wilson all over it.
