The Warren Wing Plot Bunny Corral is open
We’ve moved the Warren Wing Plot Bunny Corral over from housefic_pens.
Corral your spare plot bunnies in the comments below. These bunnies date back to Season Two and Three, but if you see one you’d like to adopt, please take it home!
Plot Bunnies put up for adoption by extrabitter:
1. In "Euphoria," we met Foreman's dad, but the one he really wanted to see was his mom, who has Alzheimer's, or some other form of dementia. A visit to wherever home is wouldn't be out of the rquestion. Possible subplots include the closer to mom than dad thing that House and Foreman have in common, and Cameron's newfound concern for her colleague-not-friend.
2. Explore Cuddy's thought process before she decides that she wants to have a child. Has she always wanted children? How does she look at the prospect of being a single parent and still running a hospital? Does she have fertility issues? Was there, perhaps, a miscarriage or an abortion in her distant past, or serious relationship that ended when she made a conscious decision to delay starting a family? How does her family play into her thoughts? (I've always thought that the photograph of the women on her desk that we saw once is either her mom with Cuddy and a sister, or perhaps Cuddy with two sisters.)
I have no desire to write either of these stories, but I'd like to read them. If you choose to adopt one of these bunnies, I'd appreciate a credit. (And I think a mention of the Corral might be a good thing, too.)
3. Based on a conversation she had with another LiveJournal user: I'm younger than House, but I'm not a 20-year-old screaming fangirl. Until about five years ago, my goal at most concerts was to get as close to the action as possible, for the full-body experience. There's a space down front where you're almost caught in the exchange between the band and the audience, which flows over you in waves. It's like a drug.
I'm not saying House as a grown-up would do that, particularly not post-infarction, but I can sort of see him getting into the experience of live music that way, almost as a form of rebellion from adulthood. If I read a vivid, detailed story that dealt with a 30-year-old House going to a show, perhaps remembering it from his current state, well, I'd like to read that story.
She suggested U2, REM or Talking Heads as possible bands House could go see. (I've seen them all from absurdly close range, and each one puts on a very intense show.) House would have been 30 in 1989. To get any of those bands into slightly smaller venues, you'd have to fudge a couple of years, but that would probably be the sort of liberty that almost nobody would notice.
A sub-bunny from the same thread involves Wilson and a now-embarrassing show he want to in the past. I suggested Journey, the scourge of 80s rock. He still has the t-shirt, or maybe a photograph of himself wearing the shirt, and a really bad, possibly mulletish haircut. That could be a wildly funny House-Wilson friendship piece.
Plot Bunny put up for adoption by pwcorgigirl:
This is a sort of second-hand bunny, as dontkickmycane requested a bunny at her journal. However, I think it's got several possibilities:
In "Sleeping Dogs Lie" Wilson sums up Cameron's unpublished journal article and Foreman's for House. How exactly did Wilson come to read her article? Did he find it on House's desk (if so, what was he doing snooping in House's desk) or did she bring it to him to preview?
Exploring either of those scenarios would be interesting.
Plot Bunny put up for adoption by maineac:
Here's a suggestion for the upcoming story arc (spoilerish up to 3x05, if you haven't seen the promo pics):
The David Morse character, Tritter, who arrests House, is admitted to PPTH with something mysterious and terminal (whatever he was in the clinic for). Because of Tritter, House has had his license suspended so is not at PPTH--his team is trying to diagnose the mystery illness without him. But House is able to figure out whatever the illness is anyway.
His dilemma: is he morally obligated to tell Tritter what's wrong with him?
