Awww House is sad, Cameron's sad....STOP THE SADNESS!! :P

[athousandsmiles]

It'll end happily, I promise. :-D

Goody!

Only one more chapter? I kind of want this story to go on forever. But I also want to see that happy ending you promised.

Can't tell you how much I love the interactions between House and Cameron here. All the subtle things made it perfect - the "bond between them" in House's eyes, them both showing up at the shoreline at the same time, Cameron knowing what House was thinking, his hand on her knee and the way it grounded her. That's exactly the way it should be between them.

This line is one of the best sentences in a fic ever:
As before, he looked to her like a salty sailor from a time gone by, as weathered as the old house with the wind off the ocean blowing his pea coat open so that it flapped behind him, and the lines on his face telling stories of the sea.

Thank you so much. I'm completely enamored of the idea of House as a ship's captain from another era, so I'm glad you liked that part. I almost wish I'd added House's POV in all of this, so I could have him picturing Cameron from another time as well. Ah well.

Thanks again. More soon.

That persona really does suit him, doesn't it? He's already so hardened and crusty, albeit in such a beautiful way.

Mmmmm, yes, you definitely need to do another fic in which House envisions Cameron from another era. My mind immediately goes to a Jane Austen type scenario, since Cameron has a lot in common with the Austen heroines. But I'm sure you could come up with something more creative ;)

ETA: I got so carried away by the idea of bygone eras that I forgot to say how much I'm in love with your icon. I can't stop staring at it!

I have an AU started, with House and Cameron during the American Civil War. :-p Don't know if I'll ever finish it though.

Well that was sure sad! I'll be waiting for that happy ending.

[athousandsmiles]

It's coming soon. Thanks for reading. :D

One more chapter? Are you sure? I kinda see it going on for another four at least. It's that compelling and I'm really, really enjoying the ride.

No amount of money would get me to go back to that house!!

[athousandsmiles]

If I hadn't stuck to Cameron's POV, I'd probably have several more chapters, but as it is, yeah, I think one more and I'll be done.

No amount of money will get Cameron to go back either. But you know House has to find an explanation.

Thank you. &hearts

This story has taken an odd turn, just as wonderful, but different. And through it all that bond between them continues.

Looking forward to whatever explanation House comes up with, and a happy ending too, of course.

House may not like the answers. Thanks for sticking with this. :D
