This is gold. I don't know the original story that it's based on, but writing in the future and in second-person are two things that are tricky to do. You conquered both masterfully. This is so raw and vivid, and so sad. This is my favourite line, perhaps in all of fanfiction so far: "Wilson brings you a cupcake and you don’t say thank you because you don’t have to anymore". Post-infarction House runs the risk of being too over-dramatic, but you did it with restraint and yet the emotion seeped through. Gorgeous.
