Beautifully written. "Just feel good," he said - something I think Cuddy has a very hard time doing, and I'm glad she got the opportunity to do it for a moment.

Thank you so much; I really wasn't sure about the tone of this one and some of the phrasing. I was very happy to give her a moment like that, too! And not just for sympathy and wish-fulfillment reasons. :)

This was really um... I dunno, my first reaction was "WTF WILSON." You captured his twisted sense of people pleasing so well that I almost forgot there was comfort sex involved. If House is "all morals, no compass," then Wilson is definitely "all compass, no morals."

And Cuddy's sobering up at the end was great.

Awesome. :)

I think "all compass, no morals" should go on an icon with a background like yours here.

I had a bunch of WTF WILSON moments while writing this, to be honest! It did not want to go to a porny place. Like, "no, Wilson wouldn't say that. And Cuddy wouldn't agree. And and and." But it was for a porn fest, dammit, so they went there. So I'm glad that the way they did it felt right to you for the characters.

oh, Wilson. Yes, I can see him doing that.
Cuddy is lucky to have him comforting her for a little while.

this was beautiful-

Isn't she just? :D Thanks very much.

I really liked this. I could hear their voices in this piece.

Thanks -- it's one of the most satisfying things to hear that character voices came out right.

One of the most important things about having a baby, is taking some "me" time for a few minutes--whatever that may mean. I love how gentle this is, that Wilson makes it all about her. Lovely.

Thanks! Cuddy looked like she was in a real mental mess last night with all the baby's demands and her own doubts; I was happy to nudge Wilson into helping her take a moment out.

Remember that scene earlier this season where Wilson told Cuddy he's had a crush on her for a while, and Cuddy knew he was only saying it to manipulate her into admitting she wanted House (or whatever was going on)? I think he was telling the truth. At least, it looked like he let a moment of genuine hurt show on his face before agreeing with her that that's what he was doing. So here, even though he's concentrating on giving her pleasure, I think there's something in it for him, too, even beyond his general savior complex.
