Better late than never, absolutely. (Actually I'd like those words on my tombstone.) It's wonderful to wake to unexpected feedback - thanks so much!
I really like Stacy as a character and understand why House would fall for her. I also get why it wouldn't have worked out long-term between them. She lacks House's combination of rigid (if unconventional) moral code and brutal honesty. (Insert lawyer joke here.)
I was certainly not the first to suggest that Wilson had a hand in the decision to remove the thigh muscle - I think I got the idea from Involuntary Commitment by ignazwisdom - but it made a lot of sense to me, both in terms of Wilson's character and because of how House has sidestepped any discussion of where Wilson was during the infarction. But man, those conversations with both Stacy and Wilson were tough for me to write and rewrite.
The balance between humor and pathos is probably what most attracts me to House as a show and as a character. And this is simply how the characters spoke to me for this story, for which I am grateful!
