Summary
The thing about time is that, most of the time, it moves linearly, forever marching forwards towards an indeterminate end. And when you refuse to continue forwards, well, the only other option is clear to see.
After all, there’s an infinite multiverse out there that he doomed in ways he couldn’t even comprehend. Surely… surely he could at least save one of them?

Summary
They know now. They all know. This isn’t going away, as much as he keeps hoping to wake up from another hallucination. There’s nothing to do but bite the bullet - so to speak- and Wilson could be an ally. The conversation is happening, the secrets are out, and House needs to know that Wilson’s going to be with him, even if he’d never admit it he wants that. Wilson’s staring at him with waves of ‘wanting to talk about it’ coming off him like radiation off the elephant's foot and so, with an uneven sigh, House asks, “What are we talking about first?”
Wilson’s jaw sets, his eyes darken unblinkingly as he leans ever further forward, “Are you suicidal?”
--
As it turns out, all it takes are two bullets to rip open the closet doors and send every one of House's skeletons crashing out for all to see. Secrets that change how everyone looks at him, and maybe it wouldn't be so bad if everyone didn't include Wilson.Bookmarked by monkeymonkeymonkey

Summary
Most general writing advice is, at best, functional but woefully limited, and, at worst, too narrow and more reflective of personal predilections or biases to be of any use. It does not help that so little people have the vocabulary to analyse prose on a technical level.
Rather than provide literary prescriptions, I shall instead proffer this personal repository of prose analyses of various writers that I think are pretty neat. This is both a writer's notebook and a mini-course in prose.
One needs no gurus to advise you on how to write. The best way is, always, to turn to the works of those you deem masters, judge what is on the page, and apply it to your own style.

Summary
(Cannibalism is a hell of an eating disorder.) Hannibal and Will survive the fall, and are forced to hide away nursing their wounds, entirely cut off from their usual resources. At first their bond is only strengthened, but as scrounging for food becomes necessary, it becomes increasingly clear that Hannibal's obsessive eating habits aren't just a power play, but the only way he feels powerful at all. Will's not entirely prepared to handle decades of cannibal trauma over a can of soup, but he tries. Love wins, but in a canon-typical way.
