  As a rule, it's very difficult for me to like stories that are written in the second-person perspective, especially with fanfiction. This blew that standard out of the water. This story is dark and gut-wrenching, and your choice of tense actually made it more personal, while still maintaining Wilson's personal stamp on the action.

  The repetition there is the most gorgeous thing ever. You just broke me, and I have to go cry now. I 'ship House/Wilson. Do I ever. But it's the fics like this, the ones that take a not-so-simple friendship and turn it into something that rips your heart out, that I really love. Because love doesn't always mean romance, and intimacy doesn't always mean sex. Sometimes people need to be reminded. Thank you.

  Aww, poor House. 0.0 And poor me. XD
  
  Usually, I can think of something to say in an actual... reviewing... sense, but I can't. I can, however, tell you that I really enjoyed reading that and that you are a very tallented author. ^^ Kudos!

  I liked how you made it second-person but still made it so obvious that 'you' was Wilson. This was just amazing, and sad enough to actually make me start to cry when Wilson did. You've proven that this complex friendship is pretty hard in some areas, like death, and I can seriously see this happening and having Wilson act just like this. Bravo.

  This is absolutely beautiful. I love the second person; it's hard to do well but you've managed it.
