Title: Survival Strategies
Author: mer_duff
Pairing: Gen, House and Wilson
Rating: General Audiences
Length: 21 500 words
Spoilers: None. Set in December 2003.
Summary: A bad week leaves Wilson wondering if he made the right career choice and House struggling to support his best friend.
Excerpt:

Wilson gestured for House to give him the file. "I can't entertain you right now, House. I need to be able to give my patient my full attention."

"Right. Because it takes so much concentration to tell a guy he's got less than a year to live. You should be able to do that in your sleep by now." But he put the file back on Wilson's desk and walked to the door. "Grab me after T-cell guy leaves. I'll be starving by then." He knew he'd be able to talk Wilson into an early and extended lunch. Wilson always welcomed a distraction after delivering a death sentence.

He hesitated at the door and looked back. Wilson was studying the file again, scrawling notes in the indecipherable handwriting that he thought made him seem more like a doctor, as if the lab coat and the multiple diplomas weren't enough to hammer the point home. Wilson glanced up and waved him away with an annoyed frown, but it wasn't enough to disguise the bleak expression in his eyes.

House closed the door and leaned on his cane. On Sunday evening, they'd watched a Monty Python marathon, and Wilson had laughed so hard during The Meaning of Life that he'd fallen off the couch. House loved the sound of Wilson's laughter; the pure, unrestrained kind, not the bitter chuckle that punctuated so many of their conversations. He didn't think he'd be hearing it again anytime soon.

Thanks for all your hard work on this! I think there's a problem with the code - I put it into my story, but the link doesn't seem to be working and the artist name is wrong (which I can fix on my end).

Thanks!

Hi! I'd only fixed this code halfway, alas! It should be all ice_ziggee now. Thanks for pointing it out.

[mer-duff.livejournal.com]

Thanks! It was going to the edit form, but I thinnk I've fixed that as well. The download link doesn't work though - I just got an html page that doesn't exist.

Whoops, I'm so sorry--we forgot to put the download link in the place for the download link! It's there now, and also here: http://housebigbang.panfandom.ca/artwork/survivalstrategies_iceziggee.avi

Thanks again for letting us know.

Oh wow, this is fantastic! The music is gorgeous and the transitions work brilliantly. You've told the story far better than I did! Thank you!

Thank you, your comment made me squee XD but I could never had done it without your brilliant story to give me inspiration. Thank you for your amazing fic and for letting be be a small part of it :)

I squee'd when I finally saw the video! I didn't have the right video codec at first, which is why I hadn't replied to the original download link - real life overwhelmed me for the month of March and I just didn't have the wherewithal to figure it out (even though it was easy once I focused on it). But April is a new month and what a great way to start it out!

I loved this vid! You managed to select such perfect moments to illustrate the fic - Wilson and his cancer patients, Wilson falling apart, House's concern, kitchen, car, cell phone - brilliant! And set to perfectly solemn and evocative music.

This is such a great vid! I love the rising intensity of the clips with the music--Wilson pushing the books off the table with the percussion was an especially well-done moment--and then, the feeling of resolution as we get the "you are as God made you" clip. Totally the feeling of an argument between the two of them, that it's over Wilson's caseload and him giving too much of himself to his patients. Wonderfully done!
