Has this been done before?

IT’S THE SAME GODDAMN SCENE!!

[suhossineun]

I had the most unhinged thought- what if House completely lost his ability to speak after the seizure in that operating room? Foreman told the fellows that they couldn't be sure if there would be lasting effects from it, and obviously in canon there wasn't, but what if there had been? imagine the heartbreak and hurt, House unable to speak, unable to deal with the fact that Wilson most likely hates him for having a part in Amber's death. Wilson grieving and angry and frustrated, but also feeling guilty for what happened to House. both of them running away from their problems like usual, except the only way to deal with their emotions is to face each other. in this 100k fic I will demonstrate...

[oddlittlestories]

Btw if we buy the argument I have not yet made on here that House is actually a pretty damn good mentor in s4

(Yes I *am* putting the cart before the horse, why do you ask~)

The best thing he can do for Amber, in his mind, is fire her. Let’s compare her to Thirteen.

Thirteen loses the strongyloides patient. She expects House to fire her. She owns the guilt and responsibility. She knows how to lose but not how to move on from it.

Amber does not know how to lose. It is so fundamentally incompatible with her worldview, with her everything.

We like to joke about her and House being the same, but of course as we also discuss, she is genuinely confident and genuinely advocates for what she wants, not just manipulates. Unlike House.

But at the same time, House can—or at least knows he importance of—being able to lose.

In her last case, Amber is so distressed by the idea of someone becoming a failure and “washed up” that she can barely focus on the case. House knows that she’s wrong—probably from the start.

And House decides that the only way to give her a real-world experience with failure that she can’t rationalize or dismiss is to fire her.

He’s so gentle. He tells her that she needs to be able to lose to work for him (and by implication, to advocate for her patients effectively). He knows she cares, because of her question in 4.09 (“how is that bad for my patients? Or, put in terms that you can understand, how is that bad for you?”).

This last case of hers is a gut punch. Because when House plays the music, he proves to her what she never realized. House cares about his patients.

So when he fires her—when he proves that she must learn to lose to fully advocate for her patients—she has to believe him.

Information isn’t just about facts. It’s about timing, too.

Choice - Jack Stauber // House's Head (4x15) / Wilson's Heart (4x16)

house being jealous of wilson since the beginning of 4x12, then saying wilson is sleeping with him, then looking for ways for amber to break up with wilson...... man he's down BAD

[fullmetal-angelgrace]

holy fuck, the end of the first part of the season 4 finale was SO GOOD

the whole bus sequence with house slowly remembering it was amber GAVE ME CHILLS

"what's my necklace made of?"

FUCK

[remy-beauregard-hadley]

I had really weird and ugly bangs, I always kept them clipped up. Good news: they’re now the same length as Thirteen’s at the beginning of season 4!!

[super-duper-mart]

watching house s4 rn n honestly kinda hate taub

[lelyssaa]

the only way they couldve made amber's death worse was if it was caused by some thing completely preventable. if there was something they could do abt it. If they couldve avoided the situation all tgt if not for someone's stupid mistake and if house was just a little bit too late.

Otherwise i don't think wilson would've ever found peace. I don't think i'd ever be able to cope 😭 the way i'd completely drop the show and cry myself to sleep..

[morosoro]

Okay OUCH!

I just finished season 4 of House and holy shit…

I can’t believe this show is making me ugly cry over Amber “Cutthroat Bitch” Volakis. I didn’t like her, but c’mon this isn’t fair! Holy fuck!

Jesus Christ… poor Wilson…

amber volakis - she’s my collar

s4ep12 the foreshadowing is crazy like early in the episode, house asks wilson what he sees in amber because she isnt needy, and then asks if she's perhaps dying. at the end of the episode, house tells wilson he will accept him dating amber and wilson chases him down to say that in order for house to say he's okay with it, it means house has considered the worst possible outcome for this, and I quote "which means you could lose a friend. are you being... self sacrificing?" to which house replies with, "I dont sacrifice self."

amber is dying, or rather will die soon. house does lose wilson because of amber, even if momentarily. and before then, house does put his own life on the line in trying to save her, and it won't be enough. everything that is hinted at in this episode becomes true.

this show is fucking insane.

[scintillatingshortgirl19]

damn i've seen the infamous "i love you" in gifs and such but i. was not prepared for the deep unbridled sincerity with which hugh laurie delivered that line

[purrassicjet]

Wilson: You miss your team. I've connected the dots.

House, lying through his teeth: you don't connect shit

Wilson, louder: I'VE CONNECTED THEM
