Oh wow, SO funny! House and Wilson with synchronized cycles - why does that make perfect sense?? Perfect thinking, Dee!! Thanks for sharing!

It makes perfect sense that House and Wilson's cycles would be synchronized. Women who spend a lot of time together have synchronized cycles, it's a proven fact. I used to be synchronized with my female co-workers at my one job when we all worked together every day.
I have trouble picturing the cast as opposite genders, I really do.

[deelaundry]

Thanks.

I had a hard time picturing a woman pulling off House's character until I remembered Stockard Channing. Every character I've seen her play kicks ass and takes names. Other actresses I could picture include Rosanna Arquette or a brunette Rebecca de Mornay.

For Wilson, what about RSL's Married to It co-star Mary Stuart Masterson? Or Ally Sheedy.

For Cuddy, Scott Foley or Gil Bellows?

Heh. It makes my brain go all bendy, trying to picture them all as opposite of their canon genders. I mean -- what would they even look like? Foreman as a girl? I mean ... I can't see the shaved head look being a good idea, and ...

But. This is still a fun thing, and made me smile.

Remember this is an AU in which everyone was born the opposite gender from canon. Foreman wouldn't have a shaved head; she'd probably have very gorgeous hair that she changed the style of frequently.

For House, I picture Rosanna Arquette. Other suggestions were a brunette Rebecca de Mornay or Rachel Griffiths. Or Stockard Channing would be awesome.

For Wilson, what about RSL's Married to It co-star Mary Stuart Masterson? Or Ally Sheedy.

For Cuddy, Scott Foley or Gil Bellows?

My guess is that'd be when the "must get pregnant" plot would hit the show, except it'd be Wilson instead of Cuddy. Technically, neither of them would be menstruating at that time...

[deelaundry]

House hitting menopause would definitely get Wilson's "biological clock" screaming in alarm, wouldn't it? Huh. I think the family history of mental illness might weigh on Wilson's mind, though.

It's very interesting to think about!

[hannahrorlove]

This is assuming she hasn't had a kid with one of her husbands yet...also assuming she's been married three times. She might have made her peace with not producing kids, like House presumably has, or she might want someone to raise even if they didn't come out of her.

Then again, it's your story: what do you think?

[megami_selene]

"someone to raise"? That would so be House. lol.

Great little fic. I would love to see more :D
