Author Website: None that I could find
Why this must be read:
This is incredibly powerful, thought-provoking, and disquieting. The author warns for angst, graphic descriptions, and disturbing content, and, yes, all those are present. The story shies away from nothing except the temptation to tell you what you to think.
The structure is perfect; the writing is brilliant. Over a year later, I'm still reeling. The only hesitation I have in recommending this story is that, although it's not a deathfic, some may find the content triggering. If that could be the case with you, click on the "SPOILER" link in the author's warnings.
It took Wilson many years to forgive himself.
When he finally did, it was completely anti-climactic. It didn't happen during his semi-frantic attacks of religiosity that first Yom Kippur, nor during any of his other endless acts of atonement.
It happened in the cafeteria two weeks from his forty-sixth birthday. He was tired - from House's physical therapy regimen, his patients, the department budget proposition that was due in three days and that he hadn't quite started - but he was happy.
Somewhere between the beginning and the end of his low fat, sugar free lunch his mind had wandered back its usual stress-induced path. For the first time it had not reached its usual conclusion.
After imagining this moment for many years, he was almost disappointed. There was no overwhelming sense of relief, no rush at the joy of self-acceptance.
Absolution, when it finally came, was unspectacular.
