    Summary

    House and Wilson have a peculiar friendship - though if you asked Wilson, sleeping together once while one man was reeling from a traumatic surgery slash breakup and the other was in a failing marriage isn't all that unusual between friends. They manage to make it work, mostly by never bringing it up again.

    While out, a patient's grieving brother approaches Wilson and injects him with an unknown compound. Wilson is rushed to the hospital. Though initially fine, he begins to exhibit strange and deadly symptoms. House is swept into a case that he cannot emotionally distance himself from, with a patient that he has exceptionally complex feelings for. Wilson clings to life as House hits brick wall after brick wall, desperate to save the one person he can't lose.

    Summary

    “I have to say I’m disappointed, Mr. Raeken. You don’t seem to have made many improvements to your life in the past two years.”

    Theo laughed, turning his head to spit a mouthful of blood onto the concrete. The gesture didn’t seem to phase Monroe in the slightest—she was confident. Maybe overconfident. “I don’t remember making an appointment with the guidance office.”

    She raised an eyebrow. “We all need guidance. You just have to be self-aware enough to seek it.”

    Summary

    “Found out by accident that when I'm overwhelmed, I can light one of these up and it burns out my senses for a short time. Doesn't harm us either.”

    Frustration wrinkles his brow. “If I can get it to light.” The confession is enough to draw Scott close, to huddle with Theo, who unconsciously leans into his presence. Hands cupped around Theo's, the flickering flame catches and cherry blooms bright and acrid at the end of the cigarette. Their eyes meet. Smoke curls around them. Nature nips at clothing, plucking at fabric like an incessant child vying for attention. Maybe the cigarette trick works. Or maybe it's something else.

    The moment lasts too long, and Theo's eyes drop, cheeks pink.

    Summary

    What's the opposite of a meet cute? What happens when they've already met, they don't have the best history, and the present circumstances are absolutely terrible? Scott and Theo clash over what it means to grapple with fear, with regret, with anger, with forgiveness, and the very unfortunate reality that sometimes attraction to another person can be very inconvenient.

    Written for Sceo Week 2021.

    Summary

    Theo arches his brows. "Really? Who am I, then?"

    He says it to be clever or difficult or something like that, but the question falls out with a horrifying kind of sincerity just beneath the surface. Who am I. Who am I. Who am I.

    "I'm working it out," Scott murmurs.

     

    Or, five things Theo knows he's good for, and one thing he doesn't.
