Why this must be read:

Here we have a holiday fic rec, as befitting the season. "It's A Wonderful Life," House-style. They say that the last thing we learn of ourselves, is our effect on others. Here, Nightdog shows beautifully what this truly means for House.

Excerpt: "No -- listen to me. You think everything would've been better if you hadn't been born -- isn't that what you said?"

House regarded him warily. "Technically, you said that. I just thought it. You know, when I decided to kill myself."

The Angel's expression didn't change, and House rolled his eyes and sighed. "Okay, fine. What did you want to show me?"

"This,” David said, his smile burning fierce as the sun. “What the world would've been like without you.”

Aw, Topaz, thank you so much for this rec (and the rec for Carry Me Home). It was a great surprise, and very much appreciated.
