Title: West of the Moon
Author: srsly_yes
Pairing: House/Wilson
Rating: PG-13+/R-. NC-17 happening later.
Word Count: ~1700
Warning: AU. House and Wilson are approximately the age they first met in canon. Deathfic done up in a romantic 30s style. I promise to be gentle.
Disclaimer: [H]ouse isn’t mine and never will be. Historical and medical facts were constructed from spandex. It supports and shapes the story where necessary.
A/N: This is based loosely on the 1932 movie, One Way Passage. Like the Hollywood films of that era, the story isn’t a realistic depiction of the period. Not part of the Redux series.
Beta: The eternally awesome hwshipper. Many thanks to all my friends who encouraged me to finish this. And a special thank you to christikat for permitting to use her manip icon.
Summary: Between two world wars and two continents, House and Wilson meet by chance. Will they make the most of their fateful encounter?

Previous: Prologue A, Prologue B, Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4.

(Part 5: Wilson stopped walking. “If I were you, I wouldn’t stand so close to any rails. There’s a rumor that the women devised a lottery with you as the prize. The winner gets to throw you overboard.”)
