Fandom: HOUSE, M.D.
Pairing: Wilson/Grace

Why this must be read:

This is a quiet, unassuming fic that never fails to tear me to shreds; it packs a lot of emotional wallop for such a short amount of words. The story and language are so prosaic, and perhaps that’s where true tragedy lies: in something as pedestrian as communication through mail.

Sometimes Wilson is sure she's the bravest person he's ever known, and that illuminates her in his head.
Sometimes, alone in his new apartment, Wilson convinces himself that she was the most beautiful. In that picture, it's not quite a lie.
Maybe Boyd did heal her and she'll live for years and years in Florence and he'll visit her and they'll laugh because she was right, sometimes there are miracles.
But she's just a little too pale for him to really believe it.

It's bitter and sad and perfect. Thanks for recommending this. I've come to expect the best from Crack Van and this is no exception.

It's great, isn't it? Usually I prefer longer stories, but this one is concentrated goodness, I swear.

You should let the author know that you liked it, too. :D

Oh my goodness, how dumb of me. *blushes* I've done so - thank you for the courteous reminder to be courteous!
