    Summary

    Nothing is free. Everything has a cost.

    When Yuuko orders Watanuki to walk home with Domeki one dark, stormy day, he expects an inconvenience. Instead, he is handed a receipt he cannot bear.

    Price Paid is conon-honoring fix-it that concludes the core themes of xxxHolic—the dangers of desire, the consequences of self-sacrifice, and the quiet ache of growing up.

    This story has lived inside me since I first read the ending of manga all those years ago. I'm glad to finally share it.

    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.]
