Characters: House, Wilson, OC, Amber, cast
Prompt: #36. Family
Rating: PG-13
Length: Epic
Brief summary: Set before the end of season 4. Amber gets pregnant, but whileWilson is excited for the baby, she is not, and House is forced to help his friend out. A stunningly well-written and characterized piece, and probably one of my favourite House/Wilson fic ever.
Excerpt:
Pregnancy did not suit Cutthroat Bitch.
James Wilson, however, hand on her back and being every bit the caring, gentle dad-to-be, did not seem to notice. Even as she growled at him, not even bothering to blame it on pregnancy hormones,Wilson stayed by her side. He understood, he blamed it on pregnancy hormones, even as she appeared to want to throttle him.
House smiled grimly – her wish to throttle him was in his favor, because if she hurt him, she would pay, but then again, the hellish brat growing in her uterus turned things around again. He watched them through the blinds, as his team went on behind him about their latest patient, Thirteen suggesting cancer and that perhaps they should get a consult. House didn’t reply, but Kutner did, refusing to believe it could be cancer.
“House?” asked Thirteen.
“He’s watchingWilson ,” Foreman said, bored, reading a newspaper and not looking up.
“Seems to be doing that a lot,” Kutner muttered, probably thinking House couldn’t hear him
But while House had a problem with his leg, he had never had any problems with his ears. On the other hand, he found it impossible to care either way about Kutner’s words. Puzzles in every shape and form had always, always been his thing, but lately—Wilson-watching took up most of his time. Then again, that could be constituted a puzzle.
Said Wilson had just left the corridor, leading Cutthroat Bitch into his office, and somehow, he seemed to have missed the impatience and anger on her face.

Brief summary: An old janitor works hard to remove a few letters with an untold story. A wonderfully thoughtful fic that manages to be amazingly emotional and melancholy even in its sort space.
Excerpt:
With a cautious hand, he ran the putty knife over the lettering, carefully scraping away the paint. The “s” seemed particularly stubborn. But that was okay. The EZ-Off would clean up the last traces.
One by one the letters disintegrated under his touch. The job was finished almost too quickly, which was a shame. He should have drawn the process out a bit longer, seeing as the first floor bathrooms were next on his list. There was nothing meditative about scrubbing toilets that he could see.
A final rub to remove the last traces of oven cleaner from the glass, and he was done. Wiping his hands on yet another rag, Carl took a moment to admire his work. The glass door shone as pristine as when it had first been installed. He bit back a groan as he leaned over to pick up the tote caddy. His lumbago was acting up again. Probably need an Aleve before his shift was over.
