The Hook Up

Apr 25, 2014 17:36

Set in Season 3, House and Cuddy hookup at a bar. (Yes, I'm being intentionally vague.)

House was sitting at his favorite bar stool in his favorite bar drinking his favorite brand of scotch when a rather cheery group of revelers came through the front door and sat down at a nearby table ( Read more... )

Absolutely AMAZING SURPRISE ENDING!!!!!!!

...This is definitely one of the 'How-do-I-love-thee' stories, where there are sooooo many wonderful moments that I don't even know how to begin singing your story's praises.

...I loved the sly quotes from the actual show (e.g., “Thanks,” she said, when he got to the door. “For everything.”)

...I loved the gentle pokes at the supporting cast (e.g., “I vote mindblowing sex,” Chase said.

“I vote insurance forms,” Cameron said.)

...I loved the set-up in the bar, and how Dex plays the role of the Greek chorus.

...I loved the confusion and excitement and hotness of the scene at Cuddy's.

...I love House being mopey, and Cuddy trying to keep things from getting weird.

But MOST of all I love the fact that this is going to have a second chapter!!!

P.S. I howled with laughter at 'Journal of American Neurology' rather than 'American Journal of Neurology'. I suspect there are some people who think that there should definitely be a 'Journal of American Neurology' ;-)

Simply fantastic. House trying to hunch over the bar. His spot on descriptions of the work crew to Dex. Perfect bartender name, btw.

Favorite bits:“You know, key parties went out in the ’70s, Cuddy,”

House convincing himself he always did turn into a big fucking pussy after great sex.

The end was a real surprize.

OK I'm cheating (need to go back and post reviews of the last two fics), but just wanted to write: 'Da-da-DA!' Or sounds to that effect.

This is what should have happened in the show: a secret tryst between House and Cuddy, and the pregnancy (while she was still in her 30s) that Cuddy always dreamt of, particularly with House as the father. (How it would have panned out afterwards, I have no idea. But I'm sure it would have been more long-lasting than the first 1/3 of s7.)

P.S. Love the Great Gamboni gif above! :D

Wow, a #Huddy baby is on the way... Excited to know about House's reaction.
