The first ten (10) people who comment in this post get to request a drabble short ficlet of any pairing/character of their choosing from me. In return, they have to post this in their journal (unless they really would rather not).

Give me a prompt, too. If you want anything from any of my 'verses (OCs are also OK), please specify.

PS. Going to bed now, so responses will be tomorrow.

I'm nervous writing in your 'verse -- let me know what you think.

***

A long time ago, before, House knew the height in the atmosphere at which oxygen levels drop dangerously low for humans. He knew this because he had read it in books, looked up as a curiosity among millions of others, a fact he’d simply wanted to have in his brain.

Now he knows it because Wilson flirts with that height far more often than House is comfortable with.

At night, usually. Clear, starry skies hold an almost irresistible attraction for Wilson. Peace, calm, acceptance – Wilson finds a serenity of solitude when flying that House hadn’t thought possible for the man. At night, with no one around, Wilson goes higher and higher, farther and farther away.

“You’re going to kill yourself,” House says. Pssht, Wilson replies.

“Seriously,” House says, and he can’t keep distress out of his voice. I’ll be more careful next time, Wilson replies fervently, eyes grave, every bit inside himself in solemn agreement. Then House and Wilson have sex.

Way back when, just after, House had realized that now Wilson wouldn’t be able to lie him. But that’s not true. Wilson can lie to him, because Wilson is very, very good at lying to himself.

You don't need to be nervous at all. This is so splendid - the passage of time, the worrying, Wilson lying to himself - I'm sitting here so happy, and I know I'll be smiling for a good while now.

I've been rereading it, and yes to the reversal of House and Wilson's roles giving and receiving concern, and yes to Wilson using sex as a distraction, and yes to the lying and passage of time and yes to the whole thing.

This is why sharing is awesome, and I like to think Wilson is mouthing House's neck when House is being distressed. Yes. I could go on, but...I'll just reread it.
