I loved all the moments with Cuddy and her daughter, and was heartbroken when it became apparent that she had died. I'm not usually a fan of Cuddy as a mother, but I did very much believe it here, and her sorrow was very real. It was a little tedious at times to try and figure out some of the sections, but I guess that was in the spirit of the fic, where Cuddy is still reeling from the death of her child. I loved how quiet it was. Thank you for sharing it.
I love mommy!Cuddy for some reason. I'm really glad it was believable - I'm extremely Cuddybiased, so I tried to give her faults, not make her perfect.
I'm sorry about the tediousness- but yes, you're right, it was to make a point. I hope it wasn't too distracting. :)
Catherine, dearest, I fought my mother and stayed up (like I care if I keep everyone up!) and I'm so glad I did. This was ... amazing.
You know how I always say baby!death was my favorite fic ever? Well... I think baby!death has serious competition now. This was just phenomenal.
I love all the happy bits. And I love House's reaction to tormented!Cuddy. And I love Morgan. And I love the daddy talks. And I like when you talked about the things Morgan liked. And I think everything about this is just perfect.
And that was the sweetest dedication ever. Thank you so much! It almost made me cry more than the fic did! Almost... but not quite. But yeah. That dedication... I hate the fact that I can't write, because I would really love to write something awesome (to make you cry like I cried after baby!death!! :P) and then dedicate it to you with something witty and jazzy and aww-inducing.
She's just so freaking pretty when she's sad, you know? She's got great sad eyes. And hair. Can hair be sad? Anyway. We're ignoring for now the fact that she's also beautiful when happy.... shutup.
Baby!death and Baby!death2 are gonna have to duke it out, eh? ;)
I'm... I really can't tell you how happy I am you that you like it. I seriously... I really was afraid to post it. Didn't want to, because I didn't want you to not like it. Yeah. Have some negatives. Anyway.
And you can write, you ho-bag. Beautifully. And even if you couldn't (which you can) you wouldn't have to do that- I have tons of spectacularly beautiful cards and shirts and things that just make me so happy.
And intentionally trying to make me cry? Well now that's just mean.

I first "fell in love" with Cuddy during Finding Judas, the crying scene broke my heart. I cried right with her.
Oh, Finding Judas. I know all the words to that episode. My heart can't take it. It actually took me... about five episodes after that to stop massively hating House. And another five to kinda like him again. And lots of overly!shippy fanfic. And the brilliance of Sara Hess and Friend&Learner.
I don't remember when I first fell in love with Cuddy... I remember I always thought she was awesome, but for a long time I loved House/Cuddy more than just Cuddy. Now it's totally the opposite. (I think Finding Judas may have had something to do with that.)
You've just ripped my heart out and stabbed it a million times and stomped on it for good measure. I just wanted to cry my eyes out.
That was amazing.
I love that House always challenges her. I love the happy memories of Morgan despite how bittersweet each one was. I love the scene where House asks to feel the baby kick. I love how it all just comes together. I love that you nearly made me want to rip my hair out and made this so angsty. You are the master of angst.
God, it's just so beautiful. You are brilliant. And I wish I had more to say but I'm too busy trying to keep my emotions in check. :P
Oh, the angst. I liked the first one, with House's POV, but this one with Cuddy as "narrator" really makes it hit home. I've been in this frame of mind, and it really-- reading this is like someone touching my hand, and saying, 'I'm here'. Really lovely.
