Summary: Wilson is cold all the time and needs House to help warm him up. A remix of one my favorite Sick!Wilson fics, Antifreeze by barefootpuddles
Notes: Drabble written for the (Re)Mixing It Up Challenge on sick_wilson 

House has no hot water and complains of the thermostat being continually cranked up. Wilson has been wandering around the hospital looking like the Michelin Man. Differential diagnosis for cold? The Cottages connive to acquire blood and urine samples. Taub suggests depression, but House warns him to keep it below the board.

That night, House discovers his friend asleep on the floor of his bedroom, injuring his ass and Wilson’s dignity. Wilson has been cold and lonely since Sam left him. House makes a huge sacrifice and invites him to share his bed.

But they’re not cuddling. Of course not.

House makes a huge sacrifice and invites him to share his bed.

That House, he's such a self sacrificing person, letting Wilson sleep in his bed and cuddle up to him:) Now someone needs to get some photos..

Very nice distillation of the original, which was itself a great fic!

I think you were smart going down from a full length fic to a drabble, I'm trying to go the other way and I think I'll be finished in time for next sick_wilson camp...

I know, right? Sharing a bed with Wilson must be such a drag. ;)

I needed a drabble to complete the requirements for my Wilsoneer badge, and this was a great excuse to revisit barefootpuddles's fic. (Also, I'm terribly lazy.)

Good luck with your remix! :)

Just because Wilson's head is tucked neatly under House's chin, DOES NOT mean that they are cuddling. Nope. No way. And nobody should ever suggest such a thing or House might get really, really mad. And in need of a cuddle. ;)

I loved seeing the original turned into a drabble. A mere 100 words and the whole story is nicely retold.

I'm glad that you liked it! It was really fun for me to reread "Antifreeze" (and borrow some of the best bits).

And thanks for giving us blanket permission to remix your fics for my challenge!
