The Downward Spiral - Part I

[allycelestastar.livejournal.com]

THE DOWNWARD SPIRAL: Elysium (2/11)
CHARACTERS: eventual House/Wilson, Wilson/Julie, House/OC, Cuddy, and more
WORDS: 10313 (in two parts)
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. Or La Madrastra. (OH I WISH)
NOTE: So I’m thinking that I might be able to get a chapter out every two weeks at most—it’s a little bit optimistic, but I think I can pull it off. I’ll try to post every other Sunday night, but if I run a little late or have to shift around the schedule, it’s because I’m doing scenes and writing papers and designing sets left and right. Know for sure that this is not going to be one of those WIPs that winds up on an indefinite hiatus.
Any views expressed in this story are not my own. This story is dark. Wilson's motives are confused, not particularly selfless, and definitely a bit uncomfortable to read. Also, House is in jail right now and will be out of commission for a few chapters (although he definitely is a huge part of Wilson's mental issues, so it's not like he's ignored). As such, meet OCs. They’ll be around from now on, floating in and out of the story as time goes on.

On the first day of his new life, Wilson woke up before his alarm clock....
