Differential Diagnosis People: Teamwork
Hello everyone. I’m going to make this short and sweet this time around, in part because you’ve got plenty to read ahead of you (this week’s fic is the longest is our current stable of fics). Next week will bring us Karma by californiaquail, which will be followed by The Open Road by pun.

Summary: Cuddy makes a last attempt to get pregnant and, predictably, House can't help interfering. It's up to Wilson to clean up after him.
Why does this fic belong in the Hall of Fame?House/Wilson/Cuddy relationship fic is in short supply at this length. That it starts off so inauspiciously for the trio and how they come to be together is fantasticly clever. House is as always steered by his own moral compass and Wilson is stuck trying to help clean up the mess that House inadvertantly lands himself in. I love how all of three of the main characters flaws and strengths are showcased and no one is above reproach for their behavior in this story. I especially like that Stacy and Mark are involved in a believable way.
Excerpt:
“The favor being…?” Rather than make eye contact with her, he(Wilson) inspected the wrapper of his lollypop for a penetrable weakness.
“Stacy’s coming into town next weekend,” she began slowly, “I need House to be somewhere else.”
Well, that was left field. Apparently his restless sperm were all safe, for now.
He extracted his prize from the wrapper and tucked the plastic into his breast pocket. “She was here last November. Contrary to expectation, House actually wasn’t dangling by a belt from the shower rail then.” In fact, as Wilson recalled, he had composed a song about Stacy snoring - to the tune of Beethoven’s fifth. The image of House sitting at the piano, wearing sunglasses in the middle of the night and singing through a half-lit cigar brought the quirk of a charmed smile to his lips. He concealed it by enveloping them around the stick of his raspberry lollypop.
