Reading them all in one go felt like a real arc of their friendship or something. I know what I mean, but I'm just not expressing myself quite right lol.
It's amazing how you can convey this sense that, yes, despite whatever has happened between them, here are two men who have a longstanding friendship; and at the same time (cos I read them in one go lol, couldn't help myself!) you're also able to show us the very, very beginning of said friendship and instead of there being an assumed intimacy (as with House stealing Wilson's chips), we instead understand - along with Wilson - that actually House is laying the boundaries of what will grow between them. From beginning to end, you've captured canon!Wilson's revelation about not being able to choose who your friends are, because House is the first to intimate the friendship has stopping power and that's that.
Oh it just makes me wanna watch these episodes again! Cheers!
