The Prodigal Son (Chase)

[sunset_my_house]

The first time Gavin grins at him open-mouthed, the sharp contrast of the little pill on a pink tongue makes Chase shiver, and his first thought is his mum sleeping upstairs, wrapped in an impenetrable white fog by her own poison of choice. The kiss tastes strange, not entirely pleasant, but as Gavin’s lithe body wraps around him he forgets fear

This was an excellent, vivid look at Chase--your portrayal is of a damaged, very human man, who longs for redemption even as he succumbs to weakness.

The last drabble in particular broke my heart: "They all tiptoe around him like he's made of glass and he pays them back with the cruel truth about themselves." I've always been of the belief that Chase and House are very similar people, and it would be very possible for Chase to resort to House's coping mechanisms.

Using Chase's problematic relationship with faith as the infrastructure of the piece was inspired; it brings it to a ringing finish.

I love this. Very ol' skool, guilt-ridden, angsty, religious issues Chase. I miss reading fic like this since hardly anyone seems to be writing it anymore. Great stuff.

Thank you, I think it's a shame that most of the House fandom seems to be reduced to House/Wilson and House/Cuddy these days... or maybe I'm just looking in the wrong places.

The awesome subtext between House and Chase that existed in the first 2 seasons has definitely been lost although there were a few moments in the last few season when it came back, such as the bowling scene.

They've definitely isolated Wilson thought, so it's hard to remember the time when it was possible to see Wilson/Chase and even Wilson/Cameron as possible ships as well. I remember writing hard-core Wilson/Cameron hate!sex around the MLC period because the writing and the acting totally supported it. Now Wilson isn't even allowed to share emotional scenes with anyone but House...and don't even try to sell me that Wilson/Sam crap. Love Cynthia Watros, but there is no much NOTHING there, it's not even funny.
