    Summary

    “Finish it out,” he grits between clenched teeth. “Go on. Ask it.”

    Nolan shifts in his seat. “Are or are you not attracted, at the very least, to Wilson?”

    House knocks his forehead against his cane. “I don’t know. Maybe.”

    [In which Nolan pulls at the Wilson thread, and House can't stop it all from unraveling. Repression is a hell of a drug.]

    Summary

    Eddie could see the layers and layers of tape he’d wrapped around the leg of Richie’s glasses over a month ago, shaped like a little cocoon. He reached out and touched it with the tip of his finger.

    “These don’t even sit straight anymore,” he said. “Why are you still wearing them?”

    Richie didn’t blink from behind the lenses until Eddie took his hand back.

    “I don’t know. My life is kind of a mess right now. They feel appropriate.”

    “Your life isn’t a mess, Rich.”

    “It really, really is.” Richie straightened, started talking with his hands when he said, “Hey, shouldn’t you be shouting? I feel like this would be easier if you were shouting.”

    “You said you’d take this seriously,” Eddie said.

    Summary

    He isn’t going to spill his guts to this woman surrounded by guinea pig merchandise, he absolutely is not— but then he remembers the world is ending tomorrow, so, what the hell.

    “I just want him to choose me,” Crowley says. “For once, I want him to fucking choose me, over… over…” His mind reaches frantically for a human-appropriate metaphor to couch his whole impossible situation in, and eventually finds one.

    “...over God.”

    ***

    (Crowley and Fleabag share a moment, in the middle of their stories.)

    Summary

    “If this is about Jess,” Russell says, sitting down in the high-backed chair across from Nick’s high-backed chair after handing him a glass of scotch that is surely worth more than his entire life, “then I don’t know what to tell you. She said she wasn’t interested.”

    “Jess is an idiot,” Nick says, then makes a face. “No, she’s not, she’s a very smart and capable young woman, but she doesn’t—I mean, who could turn you down?”
