Another of my favourites! Thanks so much for posting it here :)

This is one of the fics I read just scrolling down one line at a time, desperately keen to know what was going to happen next but at the same time terrified that my eyes might leap forwards and spoil the ending. Great stuff!

Oh, depressive. That's the second deathfic I read today, and it's not even past 11am yet. Need some fluff now...

Great stuff, though! Very IC on Wilson's part, methinks.

I love this piece so much. It's actually one of the first fics I read when I got into H/W. I really liked this part:

She was turning toward her clock to confirm their time was up, when she caught it from the corner of her eye. A micro expression, as Ekman called it - split-second, there and gone. Wilson had looked, in that tiny fraction of a second, sly and smug. He was hiding something. Damn it.

I'm not a psychiatrist, but I've done peer counseling and mentoring (all through boarding school and through some of college) and I know that exact look. It's such a perfect detail to include.
