“Yes, yes.” House said. “I’ll just tell Ms. Tyler when her life’s ruined by medications she doesn’t need, the stigma of mental illness, and possibly a nifty bonus like shuffling when she walks that it should be okay because our Chief of Staff is a team player. I’m sure that will impress everyone at the group home.”

“That’s not fair,” Cuddy said.

“The truth isn’t, you know.”

I find the potential of this part heartbreaking, and it's all very well written. Nice way to end this bit.

Thanks...I was afraid I didn't capture the whole turns-on-a-dime thing.

I think you captured it very well.

Agreed. You've got House voice and character down pat.

I just have to let some of my natural tendencies run rampant. Scary, huh?

When you drink a glass of water, can he talk at all?

This may actually be a bit too clever for Cuddy. But it's an awesome line, so I don't mind. And the fact that she immediately apologized was spot-on. 'Cuz she's really not a snarky bitch. House just brings it out in her.

Immediately glad, given it's my first foray into slash, that I did not use the other version of this concept I know, something about having his hand up Wilson's ass. Cause, ew. Network, you know... And, yeah, sometimes Dr. Cuddy has one nerve and House and his cane are standing on it and tapping. (I love those moments,btw.)

Immediately glad, given it's my first foray into slash...

Heh. Heh heh heh.

rubs hands gleefully. Recalls the days when Connie was all 'Slash? But ick!'

Heh heh heh.

Um, now that I think on it...that's not true, but, almost, I think. Even I couldn't miss the implications of House and Wilson driving stick in the World's Sexiest Car.
