Nice little surprise on my return from a 'Vale of No Internet': another episode of 'The Guys Whose Careers Adviser F***ed Up'. Believable back story for House. Like in the show, the infarction limits him compared to what he could have been, but doesn't exempt him from continuing at a lower level, a situation that probably has everyone else telling him how lucky he is while he feels nothing but bitterness because of what could have been.

Loved the initial skirmishes, the male dominance rituals, and them finally settling down to mutual respect. I think your paragraph of smut worked very well — enough that we get the idea, but not so much that I winced. And I liked how it showed Wilson's understanding of House's mindset. And yes, Wilson would be the seducer, not the seducee.
