Summary
Dan asked Herbert the same question again one night, playing with his fingers in bed. “Am I going to Hell?”
Herbert had sighed tiredly. They’d been over this. At this point, Dan should have made his peace; he’d either punish himself until the end of his days, or he’d set himself free. Herbert was sick of the attention afforded to this particular fallacy, anyway. And yet, that night, he chose a new answer.
“Who knows,” Herbert said, “but I’ll be there, too.”
He expected a spark of fear in Dan’s eyes, but instead, he saw only relief. Dan pressed Herbert’s hand to his mouth.
Now, 9 months later, sitting alone in the cold basement, just one floor below Dan and his perfect girlfriend, Herbert would like to change his answer.

Summary
You see sometimes, humans will say one thing, but actually mean another. They call these unusual little turns-of-phrase 'idiots' - probably, Muriel thinks, because of how very stupid they are.
OR: Muriel dusts, discourages the sale of books, and collects their favourite idioms in a little leather notebook. Crowley drinks, makes snide comments, and gets dusted from time to time. A mysterious door is miracled into existence.
(An S2 fix-it and Getting Together oneshot, from the POV of my favourite funky little baby, Muriel. Because my heart needed it to exist).

Summary
Taking a step forward, Wilson manages to make tilting his chin up to look at House seem patronizing. “Well it’s not some huge secret that I thought it might be good for you to be back at work, instead of miserable and bored out of your mind in that apartment!”
I thought it might be good for you.
Right, because Wilson’s the authority on that. Reinstated to his former station, now that Stacy’s abdicated, of the person who feels entitled to stick their nose in House's business.
Wilson keeps droning on, “Rebuilding structure in your life is an important step in recovery—"
House rolls his eyes, pitching his voice up to a saccharine falsetto. “Oh gosh, Doctor Wilson, you’re so handsome and brilliant. I can feel the muscle growing back in my leg as we speak!" White-knuckling the railing, he takes advantage of the extra height to leer down at Wilson, "Do you want to come give me a physical exam to feel it for yourself?”
House and Wilson, after.

Summary
James Wilson could remember the first time he’d realised he might be in love with his best friend.
It felt weird to remember House when they were young. On some days, it felt like the memories didn’t align with the present at all. After all, it was a Wednesday afternoon, and Wilson was sitting on the edge of a worn sofa, running his fingers reverently over the cover of a book that he was never supposed to find.
He thought about the House he knew. It was hard to reconcile the strung-out, miserable man with the young, energetic menace Wilson used to know. And with the man who’d made the book.
They were inconceivably different people.
Yet James Wilson had loved Gregory House back then, and he loved him now.
