This is one of the very first House fics I ever read, and several years later, remains one of my favorite. Heartbreakingly lovely.

Thank you for a wonderful story. I loved the dreams. They made everything a little more surreal and poignant. My favorite line, oddly enough, was the one where they were both waiting for soft lobster-screams. You're a very gifted writer--keep up the good work!

I love this story. The contrast of Julie and Wilson's relationship with House is so great. I love the saving of hugs, going to a play, and of course House getting him the gift. The kiss was sweet, but still very in character.

I stumbled across this story through the LJ House Hall of Fame (I think it was) site. It's an absolutely beautiful story...one of the best House-Wilson stories I've read in a long time. You write very descriptively--I could easily "see" the characters actions and reactions, and your dialogue is spot-on. Thanks so much for the wonderful read!

Really wellwritten. A bit of an unusual touch to it, though I can't exactly name it. I love the feeling this story gave me.. It's kind of beautiful, hah, yes I know. But anyway. Great work.

Again with the words. Pure pleasure to read how you so easily capture their thoughts and words, and best of all their body language. I so believed it all. Thanks!

I absolutely loved this - the imagery in Wilson's dreams is brilliant, and I think you've absolutely nailed the feel of a failed marriage, and the sort of wistfulness Wilson feels about it.

Loved it - sometimes the voices were a bit off (phrasing of dialogue seemed like it didn't quite fit with the characters) but it was still beautiful; sweet and awkward and angsty without ending in despair. Well done!

I live in Idaho. I'd be okay with House and Wilson living here - easier for me to get to them. ;) Good story, keep it up, definitely.

This was great.
It's way too 3:30 AM for me to say anything intelligent about why this was great, but I thought it was particularly hilarious that the Ducklings feature in Wilson's dreams.

Oh, I liked this. You captured the... monotonous marriage very well- with that awful sense of resigned pointlessness, you know? Very good.
And lovely House, by the way. It's hard to make him nice and in character at the same time, and it has to be quick and thne gone within an instant, but it was perfect here.

Woohoo! I loved this story. Julius Caesar! It was just an amazing, wonderful experience. Paratrooper Jim! I love Wilson's dreams. The last line totally made me awestruck. Also, I suddenly wanted to eat oysters, and isn't cooking lobster hard? Poor Julie. She does everything the way she wants to do it, and she's still not happy. This is the kind of story I absolutely love, because there are people who are flawed and unhappy, yet still a possibility of happiness is there for them.

Wilson and Julie's relationship is a bit colder and a lot creepier than I ever imagined, though I suspect that you weren't quite intending my reaction. Wilson and House's relationship is a bit more easy and a lot more amiable than I ever imagined, but it may just be the subject matter. Birthdays can do that. Regardless, this is one of the few fics that tackles the reality of Wilson and Julie's relationship and does so in a realistic way. Relatively speaking. Wilson is, to my mind, too much the victim, but you've written an adult relationship that fails not because of Wilson and House's secret oh-so-passionate love, but because of the daily stresses of marriage, because they're drifting apart, because they're not entirely compatible and they're not working at it, and I love you for it. It's also a cute fic, with a lot of really fun details.

Wow - never been much of a House/Wilson myself, but I think if it were to happen, this is how it would. I love when Wilson says "I want you to kiss me" - it was so incredibly perfect. I think you've made a House/Wilson shipper out of me :) Congrats.
