Warnings: Grief, emotional trauma, canon character death (Amber), slow burn, hurt/comfort, eventual romance.
After Amber Volakis dies, James Wilson is left untethered-grief-stricken, emotionally exhausted, and silently haunted by the choices that led to her final moments. But as he tries to rebuild a life without her, he begins to realize that the person he's turning to-the person he's always turned to-is the one man he's never truly allowed himself to love.
Gregory House, recovering from trauma of his own, masks his guilt with pills and sarcasm, but Wilson sees the cracks forming beneath the surface. As they navigate a complicated dance of grief, dependency, and unspoken truths, both men are forced to reckon with the one diagnosis they never expected: love.
A slow-burn, post-Season 4 emotional journey through loss, healing, and the quiet moments that mean everything. Because sometimes, the person who breaks you is also the one who helps you heal.
Order is everything. Her habits aren't quirks, they're survival techniques. And only three people in the world have permission to touch her: Mom, Dad, Fernando.
Then Lando Norris happens.
One moment. One line crossed. No going back.
