Holy crap, another one! And it's just perfect. Well done.

And Happy Birthday!

Thanks, but don't expect one tomorrow. I've got to go back to work. Dangit.

Hehe. I get blamed for a lot of things on LJ actually. I am very happy to be blamed for this. :-)

You did it. All of these read beautifully. Each of them tells a little story with a distinct point, and fit the prompts you chose perfectly. Well done!

And happy birthday!

I'm glad you liked them. Now I suppose I'll have to go write a 100-page epic just to balance things out again.

Why yes, yes you will. :-) (Just kidding.) I do agree with extrabitter, you made them work separately as well as together.

This is all kinds of wonderful! :) Thanks much! And happy birthday!

Thanks.

Hmmm...short and a mite angsty. Nice!

Happy Birthday!

[namasteyoga]

Thank you.

Happy Birthday! I loved the way you put these together, moving from the temptation to the giving in. It captures what we know about House - that he considers painkiller addiction the lesser of two evils - and the starkness of the medical facts counterbalances the emotion really well.

Onwards and downwards - 50 words next? It's got to be possible...

Thanks, but don't hold your breath on that last one.
