    Summary

    Six months after he drowned, Jake is back at work. He's adjusted well to working full time and everything feels like it's back to normal.

    But Jake doesn't feel normal. He doesn't feel anything at all, not even fear. Not when the jet ski flips, not when Harrison goes under, not when he's being tossed around like a ragdoll by ten foot surf. No, it's not until he's floating in the middle of the ocean, no way to call for help and a child clinging to his chest that he thinks- maybe there's something wrong with that.

    Jake figures it's a bad time to remember how to live, when he's about to die.

    ---

    A storm hits Bondi beach. As the life guards scramble to manage the crowds, a rescue gone wrong puts one of their own serious danger...again.

    Summary

    It starts really small. Or- not small, exactly, but less problematic.

    It’s a low ache in his muscles after a long day, a tightness to his neck at the bar with the boys. He writes it off as the result of a long day at the beach. He’s off tomorrow anyway. He can spend the day in bed if he wants.

    ...

    Jake goes to work sick. It's not one of his best ideas.

    Summary

    “He just went.” Harries said, “he was out of It, but he was conscious a minute ago.”

    “We gotta get him to the tower.” Hoppo tells him.

    There were more footsteps behind them and Kerrbox popped his head in.

    “Fuck.”

    ---

    based on that clip where Jethro accidentally locks himself in that smaller life guard tower and the other lifeguards laughed about it and joked about leaving him inside all night. But this time, Reidy doesn't let him out on accident.

    Summary

    “Wilson!” he calls, willing to concede if only to understand what the hell is going on. “You can stop now! You win!”

    “Hm?” Wilson reappears in the doorway, knotting some hideously patterned tie. “If this is about the poker game I know you cheated on—”

    “This prank,” House says, gesturing all around the apartment. “You got me, you don’t have to—”

    But in the action of waving his hand around, his gaze catches on a shiny glint on his finger. He blinks at it. Once, twice. It can’t be.

    He’s wearing a wedding ring.

    Out of the corner of his eye, he sees Wilson place his hands on his hips, roll his eyes. There’s a similar band on his left hand, fourth finger—the designated marriage finger. The sight is not unfamiliar to House, what with Wilson’s endless stream of wives, but House has never seen a matching ring on his own hand. Certainly not one that matches Wilson’s.

    ~

    Or, where House wakes up in an alternate universe where he and Wilson are married.
