The Other Woman
Here’s part 1 of an AU take on the series finale. Sadly, Wilson is still a goner, but at least House didn’t do any of that faking-his-own death nonsense.-atdCuddy took a deep breath, steadied her hands-which were shaking a bit-and dialed the all-too familiar number

“Tell me how to fix this,” he said. “Tell me how to make this better for you. I can’t undo what I did. So. . .what? You want me to quit my job? Break up with Ellen? Join a monastery?”
“Yes,” Cuddy sniffed. She was crying, but his suggestion of joining a monastery had at least amused her.
“Okay,” House said. “I’ll do it. I’m going to look awful with that Friar Tuck haircut. But I’ll do it. I need to start practicing my chanting. Do monks chant? Will I have to wear that horrible brown robe?”
For a second, they smiled at each other and it was like old times. House being impossible. Cuddy laughing despite herself.
I MEAN, ISN'T THE ABOVE JUST TOO BEAUTIFUL FOR WORDS!?
AND:
“I let you get away with this characterization last time, because, well, frankly, I would’ve let you accuse me of war crimes just to spend an hour in your presence, but I can’t any take it any longer: I DID NOT TRY TO KILL YOU!”
GOD, THE LOVE BETWEEN THESE TWO!!!
“I feel better I guess. I thought I wanted House to be unhappy, but that’s not really what I want.”
“I am unhappy!” he said. And for some reason, that made them both laugh.

From across the street, Ellen Chalmers watched the scene from a park bench, her face obscured by a newspaper.
She was struck by several things: That Lisa Cuddy was impossibly beautiful, more so than she’d even feared (pictures on the Internet just didn’t do her justice.) That she’d never seen Greg look so powerless in someone’s presence, so eager for approval, so totally vulnerable. So this, she thought grimly, is what Gregory House looks like when he’s love. And that it was clear-from the way she held onto him when they embraced, the way she smiled at him, the meaningful way she looked at him before parting- that Lisa Cuddy was in love with him, too.
I TOTALLY CONFIRM ALL I SAID ABOVE. AND THEN SOME.
