Wilson Agonistes went straight into my bookmarks I think, because hey, there's a whole year missing, and we didn't get much information about it, and so we need stories like this one to show us what might have happened while the cameras were off.
I think it's a mark of Wilson's lingering sadness here that he writes something so generic and impersonal. :-(
Yep, this. The whole fic has these little touches, conveying sadness directly or indirectly, and the feather is one of them, too, the idea of lifeless remnants of the past.
And oh, I did not recognize the Shawshank reference at the time. That's great, because obviously Moving On had it from the other side of the picture, and it doesn't happen like the movie for House either, who goes back and to prison afterwards. (Which you didn't really know when writing this? In any case, that's a meta level of connection that I like in retrospect.)
