Me: This fic needs plot.

My brain: Okay, I understand. The fic needs more wallowing.

Me: No. We need to cut back on the wallowing to get to the plot so this doesn't like three more weeks to write.

My brain. Got it, got it. The fic needs Wilson to have free time so he just walks around and contemplates. Nice long chunk of Wilson's depression and trauma.

Me: No. Not at all. It needs less time reflecting on the past.

My brain: Understood. I have the solution. The fic needs...flashbacks.

Me: Okay fuck it. Fine.

#house md #hatecrimes md #fanfiction #fanfic writing #james wilson #seriously how am I not at the SII part yet #SII is always a tool to START the real plot #After her there must be relationship problems and therapy and even more important angst wallowing and then the climax and resolution #And yet. The fic is already over 5000 words #I not only missed my self-imposed deadline I'm going to miss it by a lot #But I am working on it every day so eventually you can expect a shiny new Research fic casting light in Wilson's trauma #The premise is “what if Wilson's 'eating neediness' and compulsive Fix It attempts are an ingrained habit imposed on him from a young age”#Because just because House says Wilson loves it doesn't mean he actually does #He and House are actually really bad at analyzing each other #I don't think Wilson is so attached to House because he needs to care for House (House doesn't even let him care for him that often)#I think it's kind of the opposite. House lets Wilson shrug off his need to be a caring angel and let out his inner bastard #The attachment is based on NOT fixing House or being expected to make him all better #The attachment is Wilson feeling safe enough to act on the impulse to saw House's cane in half without hating himself or being punished #Like they can fight and be juvenile and insult each other and then still love each other #Neither will leave the other upon figuring out who the other Really Is TM
