DORKAGE: House 4x05 Mirror, Mirror
Oh MAN, I am SO GLAD I took the half-day off from work today, which means I could grab the latest House episode much earlier than I normally would. It's not even 11pm and I'm all ready with caps for the IMMENSE AMOUNT OF SQUEE-AGE THAT WILL ENSUE. I swear, if you're a House/Cuddy shipper? There's just so so so MUCH in this episode to chew over and

Oooh, a flashback episode to show how the H/C sexage started would ROCK. Heh. Actually, I'd just be happy to find out MORE about their backstory, dammit. There's so much mystery about their time in Michigan together, and the first (and I doubt only) time they did the nasty - I'd love to get more info on this even as they explore the relationship in real-time, on the show now.
I absolutely agree with you about the shift in their dynamic following the Tritter arc. Count me as one of those strange House fans who actually really enjoyed the Tritter arc - I know tons of people didn't, but I loved it as an exploration of how low he had sunk and was scarily willing to let himself sink after the ketamine treatment failed. And I thought the writers made his clawing his way back to his kind of wacky normalcy very real - and, of course, very Cuddy-oriented. I know the Cuddy-perjured-herself arc was dropped like a hot potato after one random reference in OD,OR, but seriously, House's reaction to her for the rest of S3 was proof that HE remembers it. It makes him realise, I think, that he's interested in life, after all, and people, and Cuddy specifically. Hence all the shippy flirty awesomeness we got as House started to pick up the pieces of himself and move on a little bit from the ketamine crash.
Errr, apologies for being all rambly and digressing. But their relationship has changed after that, and it did lead to THE OR SCENE in which we got to see just how MUCH Cuddy trusted House, and how much House understood that he needs a Cuddy to survive (and the fanwanker in me says, not just professionally but on a personal level too).
So yes. I COULD NOT LOVE THIS SHIP MORE. If that weren't already obvious.
I have to hang out at house_cuddy more - I would, but life is being a huge pile of suck at the moment, and it's about all I can handle churning out my own picspams and fangirling with a few people. But I DO love the insight from goddesspharo you mention. And the more I think about it, the more I totally think Cuddy let House win. She was awfully cute and flirty when announcing she was Dean of Medicine (go watch it again, as if you needed a reason to!), and not bringing the fearsome as she has done on other occasions.
Darn, now you're tempting me to write fic to make this version of events a possible reality!! Curses!!
I can't wait until we've colonised the entire planet. OUR SHIP IS THAT GOOD, YES INDEED IT IS. ;)
