 Ignoring bombshells/the rest of the fiasco that is season 7. How did you see House and Cuddy ending up?

Like say season 7 went according to what we thought it would last summer.

Poll your own endgame

I had a dream once. this was a few months before bombshells i think, that House and Cuddy got married. but it wasn't a very conventional wedding. House put the ring on a

Thanks for making me LOL! I really needed it. I'm still suffering from PHD (Post House Depression).

I had always assumed that House would keep his apartment as the two of them would need separate corners to retreat to when things got heated. I expected some pretty heated battles between them, but once they licked their wounds they'd always come back together for more.

And I didn't necessarily see them together at the end of the series, but while they might have not been officially together it would have been understood that they would always be it for each other. And you'd know that eventually they would always circle back to one another to start the whole cycle over again.

I had many different thoughts. Once all the marriage speculation started I thought, hm, y'know what... I could see that, just maybe. But it would be a very understated ordeal. I anticipated it being something like, they're sitting on the couch talking, maybe honestly, after some big argument or something and House asks her if she wanted to get hitched, and she laughs it off but realizes he's serious

"I wrote a House!proposal fic a while back"

link? :D

and lol at wilson's reaction, that could have been epic.

[hbic_lisacuddy]

yeah, sure! Fic over this a-way!

and haha, not gonna lie, one of my favorite parts of this season was the whole scene in Wilson's office where House and Cuddy had to convince him they were dating. Wilson!reactions are the best.

[akemi16]

thanks :D

omg that scene was EPIC XDDDDDDD

I don't think it would last.

As much as i wish it would, even last summer i knew it wouldn't last, House's not suppose to be happy that's the all purpose of the show. As much as I'd love to think even the most screwed up person in the world ends up happy, life's not like that and I think this show in particular is not about getting our naive hopes to high. Cameron and Chase and Wilson and Sam had great relationships and even they broke up. It was never meant to last, I just wished they had done things differently...

That said, in my not so rational mind they could have totally ended up like friends with benefits :D

I figured it would be something along the lines of the first one. No official legalities, and maybe not them being completely fine or even together, but I expected it to be kind of understood that they were "it" for each other; that even if they weren't together, we'd know they would keep on working together, keep on loving each other and probably come back to each other at some point.

I didn't expect House to end up happy (I still don't,) but I hoped (and still do,) that he, at the very least, he'd find a way to be content or accepting of who he is, how he is, and what he's got. I think House is too damaged and too demanding of himself to ever be "happy" in the long-term, white-picket fence, "isn't my life great?" way. But I think he could be okay, day to day, and overall, I think he could appreciate that even if he's not who he wants to be, who he *is* isn't as bad as he once thought either.

Or he could have been, at least, before they chose to end the finale the way they did. :-/

I think where we get tripped up (and where DS defnintely gets tripped up) is on the definition of "happy

[jwhite2199]

Not surprisingly, ITA with you. Especially on the happy vs. optimistic and DS angles
