One of the stupidest things I've done in my life was listening to J.S.Bach's "Air" while reading "Grief". House got on his bike and the music stopped, gosh, this made me cry. It f***ing hurt so much. My 9 months old daughter got terribly scared, because I cried so hard. Great work. I would love to know what House wrote to Cuddy in his letter.

Whoa, I have tears. I have never cried in a story before. I would love to see a story about the year spent in the cafeteria. So...real, moving, beautiful.

My god Gena,
It seems so real that it would happen on the show that way. The check for 1 year was the breaking point. But leaving his cane and helmet was the moment of dread.

I've read a lot of deathfics in a lot of different fandoms, but this is easily the best I've come across.
The idea that House never even thinks twice about what he's going to do was already very good, but then came the letter and the Reuben sandwich - and I couldn't even stop reading to get some tissues.
I agree with the others, though. This needs a "deathfic"-warning.

As two other reviewers have mentioned, or something like that, this story deserves a warning. Something along the lines of: "WARNING! Potential health hazard! Author is not liable for any deaths by a sea of tears or an immovable mass of Kleenexes!"
But it truly was too wonderful of a read. I just feel like curling up in a ball and crying. Leaves a sense of fulfillment, yet longing, deep inside somewhere. God, the more I think about it, the more I feel like a hopeless romantic, what with the leaving exact change for lunch for a year. (sob) And House actually waiting the year. (sob) Gorgeous; absolutely gorgeous.
Next time I'll know that when you say "grief," you mean "grief." (mumbleunlikesomanyauthorswhonevercarrythroughwiththeemotionalpartandnoi'mnotcomplainingmumble)

These pills don't even let me cry, but I almost did when I read this. It was the ruebens that did it. And the ribbon. And how avel means limping twerp.

Sweet Jesus.
I'm sorry, I'm going to need a minute to form a coherent thought. This was lovely. I have no doubt it will haunt me for the rest of the day.

Gorgeous & very sad - but in that good way that's hard to explain. Loved the language - the line about "the low buzz of disbelief" especially. Wilson's line from the letter: "everything I've ever done in my life meant nothing when compared to loving you" was heartbreaking and wonderful. Thanks fo sharing this!

This was nice! My only problem was that even with a title like this, the story would still need a warning...
