Why this must be read:
What’s a fandom without the occasional S&M fic? Sometime during the Tritter arc, Wilson’s patience snaps and he finds himself trying out something on House he’s always wanted to—and is surprised to get a positive response.
I love this fic because it doesn’t shy away from the darker feelings and thoughts. This is desperation, this is shame, and this is, in a way, accepting that those feelings are a part of us—but are they really accepted?
Be prepared for an intense read. And did I mention that this is hot like a hot thing? Because it is.
Wilson had been drinking too much. It turned his thoughts purple. A psychologist once told him that his problem was too much thinking, and she was right, but what could he do? He eyeballed the ice in the bucket with the champagne -- warped glass cubes. You never saw icepicks anymore. No one could do that to himself regardless, but he was confident House would help, with glee. Just a little shove where the tears come out and problem solved.
He caught a glimpse of himself in the mirror as he moved to pour another double shot of scotch, the civilized man's answer to the icepick lobotomy. Sipping it, he sat at the small round table in the corner, with his back to the room. Sitting at a table, in a chair, made him feel more awake. All he needed now was a clipboard and pen. He could prescribe himself some goddamn common sense. Since when --
The scotch slopped onto the table as he set the glass down too hard. Careful, Jim, that's alcohol abuse he heard House say. "I hate you," he said back, startling himself into standing up again. "You're just using me. You're a terrible friend," he told the empty room, too angry to care. "Get the fuck out of my life." He grabbed the glass, and almost threw it, but instead jerked his way to the dresser again for a refill. He should say it. He was really going to say it this time.
