I saw the W/C/C in the summary and automatically thought 'oooh, orgy'. My mind is in the gutter tonight, it seems.

He sounds bitter and regretful, and she starts to wonder if it was different this time. If Cameron was special. The pain in her heart is dull and bitter all over again.

This was so sad, and so absolutely lovely. Two details i especially loved: the fact that with House out of the equation Wilson had no one to go to, because you always forget that it's not just House that doesn't really have any friends; and how Wilson didn't expect to get rejected.

Anyway. My comments make no sense. (Yay for pain killers!)

Hee! Don't worry, that was what I thought too, when I put them together like that. But I thought I would keep it. Just to keep you dirty minded people on your toes ;D

I'm very glad you liked it. And I hope you're starting to feel better.

*grins* I couldn't agree more. Thank you!

i loved the romance/vicodin metaphor. i never thought of it that way. the little glimpses into others lives through cuddy's point of view was nice. cuddy/wilson/cameron...that would be a really interesting triangle to see, especially to see house's reaction.

and speaking of him, i loved how you subtly showed that somehow, cuddy, wilson, and cameron, all seem to be in house's orbit in one way or another, by some mysterious pull that sometimes traps them. nicely done.

thanks much for sharing! have a great day :o)

Lol, imagine how truly tangled things would get if they tried that one out. *smirks*

I'm really glad you liked it. Especially since it's not exactly a prominent fanfic pairing. ;D

God, I adore your Cuddy -- you write her as the show would, if they ever gave her any screentime. Lonely, but not self-pitying; emotionally attached, but smart enough to physically and mentally remove herself from the situation; and aware of everything that goes on her hospital. I hate the way the show downplays Cuddy's intelligence, and I love the way you bring it out.

I also enjoyed how it's just as much a character study of Wilson, House and Cameron as it is of Cuddy, even though she's the source of narration

And of course your writing style in and of itself is beautiful - everything is simple and subtle, yet still descriptive; you can picture everything in your mind, without being overwhelmed by unnecessary prose.

Absolutely gorgeous.

That so annoys me about the show, the way they occasionally make her out to be incompetent. I'm really glad you like her. I still don't think I write Cuddy nearly enough, so her characterisation is always a little tentative for me.

I'm very glad you enjoyed it.

It's definitely my biggest qualm with the show - I found a list somewhere with most of the duties of a hospital administrator laid out... it's massive. They don't show us a pin-prick of all the things her character should be doing. It's ridiculous.

You should definitely tackle her more often - you always do such a brilliant job, and there isn't nearly enough solid Cuddy-fic out there at the moment.

Whoa, nice. I love your Cuddy. ;)

Oh thanks! ;D
