I do wholly and totally believe it could happen. That's probably my Catholic background hitting me hard - I believed so strongly in the infinite possibility of forgiveness for so many years that I can't let go of it even now there's no longer a god in my sky.
In the original version, the fic actually ended with Wilson proposing to House to share the bed. I scrapped it because I was afraid it would be taken in a sexual sense, while what I meant by it is precisely that Wilson wants to prove to House and to himself that this terrible story is behind them. That he knows and likes and trusts the real House, not the monster he was made into by drugs.
Another part I didn't write was House voluntarily giving up alcohol forever and finding a good pain management specialist so as to reduce his opiate consumption to a minimum (I can't believe he can do without, sorry).
The friendship slowly eroding seems to me a terribly sad possibility, sadder in my eyes than House (and, subsequently, Wilson) killing himself out of guilt (which was of course my first reaction to nightdog_barks' original story - it's still me under the Zoloft).
