This is where I have to admit that I've never been to Liverpool or to Lyme Park. I have, however, been to Oxford; I hope that redeems me to some extent. (And Oxford is definitely worth a visit.)
The person I empathise most with in my fics is Wilson. When I started writing The Kelpie I didn't realise to what extent it would end up being about his loss. Ultimately, he stands for everything that's wrong with what House has done to himself. He helped House to gain a new life in the knowledge that he wouldn't profit one bit from it, and now he has to fight for the friendship of a man who should feel something for him, but doesn't. I don't feel sorry for House, because he weighed the pros and cons before opting for amnesia and he's benefitting from the pros now. Rachel, although regularly cheesed off at the restrictions her disability imposes on her, is still young enough to accept it as a given. I think that'll change once she hits puberty and realises that she'll never have the kind of life that other people have.
