Random Fandom Questions (House M.D.): Favorite Rare Pair?

[petitecuriosity]

We all know that House/Cameron, House/Cuddy, and House/Wilson dominate the House M.D. fandom shiposphere. But, I'm curious to know...what is your favorite rarepair?

Not sure if Chase/House is a rare pair since there is a lot of fanfiction out there *and* there's evidence of a strong bond on the show as well. I don't mean the slashy kind (although I find them extremely hot together), but in a way that they're actually good for each other in terms of respect and mutual understanding. They both come from a similar background (an abusive childhood, an estranged father), and they both gave each other what they were ready to deal with: Chase needed a father figure (however distant it may have been), and House needed someone in his team who was able to follow his own thought process, and willing to go along with it. I don't recall Chase calling House out for his medical or personal decisions. He usually was the first to acknowledge House's authority as a boss (and his ability to deduct ulterior motives), which was consequently executed during the Dibala arc in S6. It's very telling that he chose to stay with House instead of leaving with Cameron, and given what we've seen on the show, it made perfect

You're right, the Foreman/Cameron relationship was interesting in canon. I wanted to see more of it. I think it'd be a good pairing for a fic.

I myself don't ship them as a pairing, but I definitely do understand why people like it and there is more than enough proof in the show, especially for the reasons you listed, not to mention the fact that House has made two comments on Chase's ass during the series. (At least, if I am remembering correctly. ;) ) I do think that their similar backgrounds make for a great argument in favor of the pairing, and do offer a common ground that contributes to their connection. And if anyone can make a believable argument for that pairing it is most certainly you! I love reading your analyses of both the House/Chase relationship and Chase's character.

I agree completely.

I actually almost expected this to happen after House broke up with Cuddy in S7.OMG. SAME HERE! Especially if

Especially if you are referring to the scene where House marries Dominika, and Wilson follows Cuddy into House's bedroom. I really really thought something would happen!

That was my fear during/after that scene, too. I say "fear" because that would've sent an already soapy season over the cliff, IMO. I am not, however, opposed to some OT3 action ;)

Or OT4 action if Dominika were to propose a unique way for House and her to spend their wedding night. ;)
