I went through a lot of them with remixing in mind, and this was the first I really decisively focused on. I was considering doing something with Thirteen Ways House Looks at the World (http://deelaundry.livejournal.com/110840.html) because that's just so cool. I've only written one House/Cameron fic so I thought of remixing Function (http://deelaundry.livejournal.com/50340.html) (House's lists are so cool). There's a sort of dry regret in Wilson's grief in 59 and 58 (http://deelaundry.livejournal.com/143397.html) which I liked, but this one just seemed tailor-made for remixing. And since my commenting on several of your fics is no longer suss, I should probably
I see Wilson as more of a gourmet, deigning to buy the cheaper more stodgy food that House likes. If canon has given us any clues as to the way House eats, it's told us that he's a creature of habit. Stuff like Stouffer's I really have to keep tabs on, because since we don't have that here I need to research how cheap/expensive/gourmet/ it is. I have the same problem with American beer -- more expensive, less expensive, the sort of beer you drink when your buddies come over, a girly beer, etc etc.
I drafted a fic ages ago when the only thing House's dad knew how to cook was fish fingers. He gave them to him when House's mum was in hospital. *shrug*
Well, I thought that was unfair, too. Originally I just had House picking Wilson up off the floor and dragging him to bed, but I realised a) he wouldn't be able to do it on his own if Wilson was completely knackered and b) Cuddy would help but wouldn't allow House or Wilson to revert to this old pattern. I mean, House has been sort-of ignoring this for a while now. I see him as someone with a lot of understanding for other people's motives but very little emotional insight, self-directed or not. It's harsh, and it's hypocritical, but I think House would do it, because Cuddy was there to do what he couldn't (take Wilson to rehab -- maybe because he felt that was a bit rich?), because he knew Wilson could stop drinking but he couldn't stop taking the Vicodin. House isn't afraid of being unfair.
Although it isn't right for this story, I'd love to see more detail of Cuddy and Wilson's roadtrip to Arizona. It's a three-day drive (36 hours without stops) and I wonder what they said. That's a really cool idea.
And thank you for writing this story. You should apologise for having written so many fics. :)
