Man, sorry I missed the discussion. I want to pop in with my usual: OMGYOUAREAGODDESSLIKEWOAHOMG comments. All apply. The fic is stellar. But I also want to say that House and Wilson have been in love for all this time. And Jack's not vulnerable to the gay-backlash. He's an adult and can handle it. (BTW: Jack's progression and maturity is just... buttah). So, the barriers House feared are no longer there. "Love conquers all right"? Basically, it seemed natural and in-character to me. Folks that think love is for the youth, don't know love.
