HAHAHA to the House one.

Awww to the FMA.

And that first one is really, really sad.

[lyrangalia]

I'd love to write more snarky House, but that would involve convoluted medical knowledge, and I'm not going to research that much for a fic.

Ed and Winry are rather cute, aren't they?

Poor Tommy. He's so... *pets* psst, READ MORE DRESDEN.

[evil_little_dog]

I started Dresden the night before last.

[cornerofmadness]

Aww poor Thoms, that's just very sad

Winry you need to pinch Ed a little

House...snort

[lyrangalia]

Poor poor Thomas. He and Justine make me sad.

What? Why am I being pinched?! - Ed

I need reason to write snarky House shorts!

[cornerofmadness]

they are sad

you badgered Winry

you had a point about House=plot

[lyrangalia]

you had a point about House=plot

Yeah, but I was hoping someone would see a way for me to write shorts with minimal research plot.

Poor Thomas. The Dresden fic is so sad, but lovely all the same.

Didn't read the second but couldn't resist the last one even though I don't watch House. Made me giggle funnily enough. I can always offer help in translating (or even making up) medical jargonese as I work in the Health Service (in the UK though) to save you doing convoluted medical research.

Angsty!Thomas is a new one for me, and it was an interesting challenge to be both true to the Dresden style snarky voice and be all sad and angsty and depressing. Glad you liked!

I've been burning through House episodes lately, and I love to write snarky dialogue, so it seemed a natural fit. Thank you for the offer! If I ever get bit by the need to write an actual House fic instead of little snarky scenes, I will have to take you up on it!

House makes me laugh.

Thomas makes me cry.

YOU make me read fanfic, which I never do. Curses on thee!

[lyrangalia]

*wide grin* I'm always pleased to lure people into fic!

Thomas and Justine just make me so very sad. I worry that Thomas is going to be seduced by either the Denarians or Mab soon. Justine is just too tempting of a prize for him.

House makes me laugh too. He's such an unrepentant ass.

[pegasus2o5]

I don't think Thomas would fall to the Denarians. He's too smart for that. He already knows what it's like to have something else in his head controlling him; he doesn't want more of that. Mab, though... I worry about Mab.

(Dangit, Jim Butcher! Don't you dare ruin one of my favorite characters EVER! I'll boycott your books! I will!

Okay, no way on Earth I will, but I'll stomp and shout, anyway!)

[lyrangalia]

My worry with Thomas is precisely that he does have a demon in his head, and his thoughts go to "I already have one and I've kept him in check pretty well. Surely I can have another and get to touch Justine again."

If they throw Lasciel at Thomas, I could see him getting worn down enough to take it. But I agree. Mab's suggestion of taking Thomas as the Winter Knight is a little more immediately worrisome.

The FMA was cute but I loved the house drabble. I could hear their voices and everything. I would definitely start reading in that fandom if you published more. :D

[lyrangalia]

Your icon is TOO cute.

I would love to write more House fic, but like I told ELD and COM, the need for actual plot (since I don't really ship any of the couples yet) and medical research for said plot is making me hesitant. But never say never!

[mulzrule]

Ed's cute no matter what he does isn't he? I think I have some cute fanfic Roy ones too...

Well, there's always the behind-the-scenes snippets we don't get to see on the show. Of course this probably limits it to drabbles and such but it's a start.
