Strong Enough, Part 2

[allthingsdecent]

Forgot to mention last time that this fic came from a prompt from my Sister From Another Mister, aka Z the Wonder Pole.  Her prompt was: What if House went back on Ketamine during his relationship with Cuddy? This chapter borrows a tiny bit from an episode you’re all familiar with. But it would be spoilerish to say which one. No copyright

You have outdone yourself: 'Each of my orgasms is like a beautiful snowflake. I love then all equally.” This was SOOOOO funny!

And I can't believe it - for once (maybe for the very first time!) I was able - thanks to the BIG clues that you dropped! - to guess where you might be going with this story. I feel so clever (although it's still just as upsetting when House is a monumental idiot in the ATD universe as it was when he was equally stupid in Season 7).

The hot-cold dynamic (full of love and concern, and then cross-as-socks once he was out of danger) rang true to Season 7...but luckily you are a smarter writer than the folks who were paid the big bucks to ruin Huddy, and you managed to persuade House to pull his head out of his ass, and recognize that his life WAS pretty great. And your final line 'my idiot future husband' is SO perfect :-)

And the letter from Rachel - heart clenches - it was exactly what the doctor ordered ...

Thank you for a PERFECT makeover of 'After Hours'. Makes me feel so much better to know that, in a better world, House and Cuddy would still have been together, despite his foolishness.

Girl, I was dying to tell you that you NAILED IT, but I didn't want to ruin the suspense. xo

...And I am SO glad that you didn't - because FOR ONCE I have the impression that I was clever (I am carefully discounting all the HUGE clues that you strew in Chapter 1). I keep re-reading this, and I really am so GLAD that you were able to sort them out ;-)

I mean - it's really a little pathetic - because YOUR brain is so creative that it comes up with a zillion plot twists, and MY brain is *at best* able to figure out where you might be going (i.e., once in 270+ stories...)
