( Excerpt )

A Joy Forever is an intriguing story about love, loss, and the powerful attachment between House and Wilson. usomitai engages the reader from the very first scene, where House's reaction to Wilson's death is believable and very in character, but it is also unresolved enough to carry the plot forward. The set up and the world-building were both very well handled, so that the speculative element arises from the plot naturally. All the original characters fill their roles admirably, while having enough quirks that they become real people. House's breakdown--when it inevitably arrives--is made all the more effective by the subtle writing and carefully drawn details, as well as its precise pacing and timing within the narrative. A Joy Forever is a deathfic with a twist, one whose ramifications for the world and for the characters definitely linger beyond the final scene.

Yes, I have this thing for blue filters. Also, you know me--if there's smut and it's what I'd want to see, I go for it. Smut is fun. Smut is our friend.

Realistic, ironic, fun, a bit whimsical, and plunked me straight in the middle of a story.
