I love how nothing is outwardly said, but yet is still very clear -- that reminds me of the show. This is exactly what I was going for.
Wilson is my favourite character on the show for reasons shown in this fic: he's complicated, layered, and enigmatic, and he's barely in touch with himself and his feelings. I feel like every time I write Wilson, I understand more about his character, and realize how much more there is that I don't (and he doesn't) understand.
I can only hope, of course, but it would be a huge step forward for Wilson's character. I'm not sure he can be in the dark forever. This would make me so, so happy. It would more than reconcile me for the Huddy-heavy first half of this season.
In any case, I think this fic really takes Wilson's character and does it great justice, particularly with his issue of repression and denial, and in coming to realizations about his feelings. The title really sums it up, of course. Happy that you think so. And settling on a title was the most difficult part of posting this; glad to hear it worked.
I'd be interested in a sequel, too, if you were considering it. ;) I'm going to wait a bit to see how events on the show play themselves out, I think. Right now, all I can picture is even more angst - House has to marry Cuddy, and the only thing Wilson can do is leave - and I'm not interested in writing (or reading) about that.
