I'll take "Doomed Marriages" for a thousand, Alex.
Wow.
Well done, and you know, I generally cannot take first-person POV, but you made it lose itself so thoroughly in the story that it just didn't stick out; it feels natural.
Poor Wilson.
I am with you on finding him very often more interesting than House; I definitely think he's more screwed up, and that he's lost without House in a way that House is not lost without Wilson. Because House's self-image, while distorted in many ways, is essentially true, but Wilson can't see himself very well at all. He can't break through his own Wall of Pretense; he relies upon House, the human sledgehammer, to do what he can't do for himself.
