[rj_anderson]

It's House time again! Thanks to everybody who's been reading and commenting on the fic as it's posted, I really appreciate it. Thanks also to logastellus, lizbee and cesario for early feedback on this chapter.

First, links to the previous chapters: Part One | Part Two

And now:

Have you even seen the TV show Firefly? If you like character driven stuff (and I know you do), you will fall in love with this show.

"Someone lend me a hanky -- I'm verklempt!"

Laughter on the precipice? He uses snark the way the Doctor uses eccentricity -- it seems like you can't touch him with a ten-foot pole; he only reacts inside, where you can't see it.

Uh oh -- did Cameron quit? You're scarin' me....

Wonderful. :-) Now the "Galatea" metaphor is out in the open, and yet we still have story coming!

It's very interesting reading this fic while the current season is airing, because this transformation really is happening to Cameron, at least a little, and however much she resists. (like the $100 bet about marriage.)

"I saw her talking to Cuddy first thing this morning," Chase offered helpfully.

House looked at him with a mixture of appreciation and distaste. "Are all Australians such rat-finks? Not that it doesn't come in handy, but I've wondered."

Still loving your House-snark.

Somehow I missed part 2, but I'm glad to be caught up now. Woo! Still lovin' the great dialogue, though there are one or two places where I thought you could remove an adverb and have the sentence still flow as nice.

Look forward to reading more.

Part 4. Please post it soon. Did she quit? I can't wait to see!
