As everyone else here has said, these drabbles are excellent character studies of Cuddy, something we still haven't seen too much of on the show. I think that you're spot on with your insights and I'm hoping that we'll see more of this sort of thing on the show in season three, especially with Cuddy wanting a child.

Thank you. I'm hoping we get more of an exaplanation of the fertility meds issue in the next season. It was brought up so late, we really didn't learn much about it.

I really really love the first drabble, especially the last line. It's one of those clever little facts that no one ever outright says. Personally I'd love it if Cuddy just shouted that to him one day while House was pulling one of his suble guilt trips on her, if for no other reason than to see the look on his face.

I think everyone jumps into the amputation or not issue so quickly from "Three Stories" that they forget that Cuddy did start off talking about debridement.

And while I can see Cuddy as not wanting House to go to seed and wanted to see him back at work, I don't think she really feels much guilt for what happened.

"She didn’t expect much from the assistants passing through her outer office. The job hasn’t paid well since she cut her own budget to help finance the third fellowship in diagnostics." Lovely detail which explains a lot!

These are elegant and spare, just like the woman, nice work.

Thanks. I actually started by trying to write something completely different from one of the assistants' POVs, but that wasn't working and Cuddy stepped up and took over. Just like Cuddy.
