Why this must be read:

After Amber's death, House lets Wilson go. Now he has to find him again. Here's a fifth-season AU looking at what might have happened, had Wilson actually left House after "Not Cancer." A wonderful story of two men tentatively trying to build a new friendship out of the ashes of the old.

Excerpt: Just one more Friday night alone on the couch, and Wilson would be back, because despite everything he'd never returned House's front door key. Just one more week of House having to drag himself all the way downstairs to see acting head Rowland for an oncology consult, in such a way that would inevitably lead to Rowland storming Cuddy's office within the hour. Just one more month of walking past the empty office next door, kept empty for a reason, because it wasn't just him; everyone knew Wilson would be back any day now. And things would go on the way they always had before.

Until the morning he arrived at work, and Wilson's door was open, and his name was gone, and his office smelled of air freshener and lilacs.

I got a surprise comment on this fic a couple of days ago - just to say thank you kindly for the rec! I don't think it's a particularly 'popular' theme, but it was just one of those things I really, really wanted to do.
