Title: The Snitch
Author: srsly_yes
Rating: PG13 - soft R
Warnings: AU, hybridized steampunk, minor character death, pinches of slash, different world = different RL rules. Courts and laws diverge from ours. Story does not follow canon timeline.
Disclaimer: [H]ouse isn’t mine, never will be.
A/N: Written with yarroway & blackmare's Positively House/Wilson Slash Challenge in mind.
Beta: *roses* for the awesomely talented and patient yarroway. All remaining errors are my own.
Summary: Suppose House and Wilson lived in a steampunk world, and House was the owner of a mysterious black box. Would life be different?
