Why this must be read:
Originally I was going to recommendfourteencandles' What's Past, but then she posted
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.
In the next room, House gets up, abruptly, and Chase flinches, has to remind himself that House can't read his thoughts. House slams out of his own door, never sparing them a glance, and when Chase looks back Cameron is still staring after him.
"It's just not real, yet," she says, finally turning back to look at him. "I mean, it's like Wilson's still here."
"What, in spirit?" Chase asks. He knows even as he says it that it's the wrong thing, but he's tired, already, of everyone walking on eggshells about this. "Look," he says, and he leans across the table, and he's ready to say it, to say, Dr. Wilson isn't coming back, to say, People disappear all the bloody time, and it's never a happy ending. But Cameron's eyes are slightly wet, and from the hall, Chase can hear House yelling at another agent, and he knows that no one is ready to hear it all out loud yet. No one is ready to face this reality. "Look, I'm sorry," he says instead. Cameron's expression goes softer. "It's going to be fine."
