house_wilson_ghcTHE DOWNWARD SPIRAL: Prologue (1/11)
CHARACTERS: eventual House/Wilson, Wilson/Julie, House/OC, Cuddy, Tritter, and more
WORDS: 5313
RATING: PG-13
SPOILERS: Tritter Arc, 3x10 (“Merry Little Christmas”) onward.
SUMMARY: “In the middle of the journey of our life, I came to myself in a dark wood, for the straight way was lost.” Alternate Tritterverse: in which House goes to jail and Wilson tries to rebuild his life. (Tribute to Dante’s Inferno)
DISCLAIMER: I don’t own House or The Divine Comedy.
NECESSARILY LONG INTRODUCTION: So it turns out that I’m in love with Dante Alighieri’s Divine Comedy. Just. A. Bit. After a great deal of self-consciousness and struggling with unwillingness to commit to such a long story, I finally decided to write and post this baby. Yes.
You don’t need to read Inferno to get this, because while I will be making allusions to the original text, it’s still just a story about House and Wilson, in which the Tritter plot takes an interesting twist and lots of morally icky stuff happens to Wilson. (Tritterverse? Old school!) I’ll point out some cool stuff at the bottom (for instance, what part of Hell we’re “in”) as well as link you to a couple of things that I think are cool and relevant, like inspirational artwork. And if you have any questions, ask and I’ll answer to the best of my abilities.
One last bit: so between this other six-parter I’m working on for another fandom and the insane amounts of coursework that I know are on the horizon, I’m probably going to be updating sporadically. But hey, I want to make this as concise and enjoyable for you as possible, so please be patient. If you’re, you know, reading this.
Enjoy!
"You’ll forgive me eventually, when you see his progress."
