cut to the river running low
in the drawer, there is a list. we all say things to mean and we all keep things for later, but there’s always going to be a point where a decision has to happen soon. house md. cuddy. house/cuddy. general spoilers for season

well, I never thought I'd see this day. I still don't like her but I'm all for diversity. so I take it you ship everybody now? xD

[fated_addiction]

Ha. No, I don't ship everybody. I was curious. And I promised.

asflkjsafjklasf. I have no words. I'm sure I'll read over this time and time again and find so many more things that I just didn't pick out before, but this so ties in with my concept of Cuddy, how she would keep a list of things and check them off, whether mentally or literally.

And the last scene with them, how they know things have already started to change but there's still that hesitation. But there's also that honesty and that frankness they have with each other, but will never admit to how much they appreciate it because it'll throw a wrench into the game they play.

*draws hearts around this - and you, because you are amazing*

And I know you ship House/Cameron, of course, but the way you write these two? You understand them so well, and that comes across so beautifully and bittersweet. Which is to say: please, please write them more.

Andandand. This totally inspired me to get off my butt and finish the House/Cuddy that's been dwelling in my head for over a week. :D

Hee! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. It was definitely a change of what I usually do - taking myself out of my comfort zone, it was a lot of fun to explore Cuddy, especially.

♥! Thank you for reading, bb.

This is very interesting. It's quiet and sort of atmospheric. The huuuuge breaks got annoying towards the end but they kind of work, as well, with the inaction of it.* The last line works very well -- I like the terseness of your style.

Unless those are a mistake, then I'm an eejit.

[fated_addiction]

*laughs* No, it's purely a stylistic choice. It works sometimes, it doesn't work - I love to try new things. But thank you for reading! I'm so glad you enjoyed it.

Fantastic characterization. I'm so glad you wrote Cuddy! You've really captured her well here.

[fated_addiction]

Thank you so much! ♥

You did it you did it you did it! God, it was so fantastic. And honestly, it was so much better too, because you're a House/Cameron fan, if that makes any sense. It was so beautiful and you captured them so perfectly. And you captured HER so perfectly.

♥!

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I was nervous, lol. I went outside of my comfort zone and it was a lot of fun to do, for sure.
