Both Pete/House and Wilson have to take big steps in recognition in this chapter: Wilson has to accept that Pete isn't his old friend House, but someone he'll have to get to know anew, and Pete learns to acknowledge that his return has enormous emotional repercussions not only for himself, but for the people who knew him before.
I'd love to continue writing House fanfic, but I doubt there'll be much of that in future. I started writing two-and-a-half years ago during a period of enforced calm in my RL, and most of my ideas came during extensive sessions under the shower. That period of calm was over as of September (which is why it took me six months to write the second half of the fic instead of six weeks) and I have about five minutes under the shower to have 'bright ideas'. That just isn't enough.
As for The Kelpie, you probably won't like the loose way I tie it up, but I doubt there'll be a sequel. I need a strong central idea in order to write a fic; I'm strictly Shakespearean school: a central conflict with the climax in the third act and everything winding down after that. I'm not much into episodic fics where new situations cause new challenges while everyday life patters on. The Kelpie's central idea is that Pete discovers his true identity and has to deal with the resulting inner and outer conflicts. I don't see an equally strong idea for a sequel as yet.
Last chapter should be up this evening, the gods of the internet and my RL permitting.
