Summary
But the afterimage of it won’t fade, not for all the disappointment, not for the sharp liquor of betrayal poured down his throat at his creator’s callow uncreating. The echo of his voice turned in the speaking of a rare frivolity, a pet name, to baptize him as known, wanted. To baptize him: loved.

Summary
Jeanine pushes off the wall with the tenacity of a soldier –– she would have been a fearful contender in the bar brawls of his youth, thinks Hob –– and hauls them both bodily towards the vast open mouth of l’Enfer’s front door, set into a Leviathan’s distorted face and gaping maw. Hob looks up mazily into the rows of teeth, stained and insatiable, and wonders if they’ll close down on him, gnash him to little bits of blood and bone dust. The black and burning eyes of the place are almost mirthful –– maybe the yawning grimace is a smile, so Hob woozily smiles back.
Paris, 1934 – Hob Gadling spends a night in two Pigalle cabarets, and loses his cufflinks.

Summary
House and Wilson have a peculiar friendship - though if you asked Wilson, sleeping together once while one man was reeling from a traumatic surgery slash breakup and the other was in a failing marriage isn't all that unusual between friends. They manage to make it work, mostly by never bringing it up again.
While out, a patient's grieving brother approaches Wilson and injects him with an unknown compound. Wilson is rushed to the hospital. Though initially fine, he begins to exhibit strange and deadly symptoms. House is swept into a case that he cannot emotionally distance himself from, with a patient that he has exceptionally complex feelings for. Wilson clings to life as House hits brick wall after brick wall, desperate to save the one person he can't lose.

Summary
Disclaimer: massive spoilers for the series finale. Triggers for pretty brief suicidal thoughts.
They both know it. They say it to each other in looks and tentative touches, when House is rubbing Wilson's back when he feels as if he's about to hack up his lungs. In those moments, he doesn't have enough headspace to think, "House loves me," but sometimes he doesn't have to think it. Sometimes it's just his touch on Wilson's back and a few gentle words swathed in sarcasm.
He knows. They both know.
And what if Wilson was a star? And what if House was the universe, and what if he loved Wilson and let the oceans of time dwindle so he could be with him; only him, forever?
What if there was a utopia?
