Seven Pounds

It hurts.

She is sure that somehow, something is trying to escape her body (pain, grief, sorrow, failure) and snagged in her chest, caught under her heart where it is stuck, and now every breath she takes she can feel it there, all sharp edges and odd angles tearing into heart and lung and bone.

It hurts.

She wants it to stop, but she can’t

Oh. ARgh. This hurt. My poor Cuddy. *sniff*

Okay, firstly, LOVE that your eljay name is Robin Sparkles. HIMYM FTW!

Secondly, thanks BB. But you know, sorry about the pain.

Obligatory brOTP icon.

Also, Adama/Roslin FTW.

[gidget_zb]

Yes.

Yes squared! And cubed!

Oh hell, that was gorgeous in such a sad, sad way. Excellent job, reads as though it came pouring straight out of Cuddy's head.

Thanks so much - I did it all in present tense for that reason, even though I usually loathe present tense as a rule, lol.

Wow! Awesome fic about this scene.

[gidget_zb]

TY!

He doesn’t know how to fix her any more than she knows how to fix him - and she stares up at him, wondering. If maybe they’re both so broken they fit. His jagged edges clicking into place with her fractured holes.
I love that!! When I watch that scene (I've probably seen it over 100 times lol)that is what I see, two broken people finally giving in to eachother. This fic is simply amazing, you really tapped into Cuddy's emotions, and it was heartbreaking. I absolutely love the end too, House took away some of her pain in the only way he knew how. Great Job!!

[gidget_zb]

Thanks so much - I really see it that way too. It's not just House that's broken, Cuddy is as well and it's why the could work. Ironically it's alo why they couldn't work too, we'll have to wait and see!

[gidget_zb]

Well of course I was gonna include the tip-toe moment of awesome in SOME way lol.
