The Affair

[allthingsdecent]

Here is a Season 8 story that might remind some of you of 87 Letters-at first, at least. But I deviate pretty far off track from there. Anyway, for the purposes of this story, Wilson lives. Hooray!
Also, if you like this one, thank the Mighty Z and survivachick. Because I was going to trash it and they encouraged me to post.It was one of those

OMG (you bitch) Hubblle. Hubblle. I might never forgive you.

The 3rd time I cried through that movie the couple behind me asked if I was ok.

Oh, these two... What have they gotten themselves now? House and Cuddy couldn't just take their hands off each other but as always, they are hiding their true feelings towards each other, too. But, I guess, as what House was thinking here, better this than none, right? Let's see how this will progress into more. :)

This is SUCH an interesting premise. And I've always found the notion that House would write letters to Cuddy - an unending stream of letters - to be absolutely plausible. He would be so desperate for connection, and so desirous of forgiveness - of course it could have happened like this.

But what is brilliant about this story is the way you show how Cuddy's confusion and mixed feelings result in her realizing that she can't have him in her life, but unable to resist having sex with him regularly. Sex, as she keeps saying, is just sex. It's compartmentalizable, and lots of people have illicit sex - why not her, since this is the one part of their relationship that never, ever went wrong.

But REALLY - she is going to waste time watching a movie with him? When she could be doing something even more fun? ;-)
