A/N: Slight spoilers for all seasons, but most of these are various AUs. Just don't take these as canon and don't take them as linear, and you'll be fine. XD
#1. Ring.
She’s never worn a ring, any ring that he’s noticed, and the realization makes Chase think better of his purchase.
#2. Hero.
Cuddy's aware that no man is a hero to his valet, and thankfully, no woman is a hero to her lover.
#3. Memory.
She knows what Chase’s memories are, and being the driven person that she is, simply wants to give him new ones.
#4. Box.
The woman in the picture atop the stack in Chase’s shoebox looks far too much like him, and Cuddy shakes her head, closing the lid.
#5. Run.
He watches her run up her driveway, and decides to call her later instead of simply interrupting.
#6. Hurricane.
They both know there is a first class storm on the way - Stacy, House, everyone’s pissed - but both of them simply ignore it, her curling up in his arms to wait it out.
#7. Wings.
“Look,” Cuddy murmurs quietly, her head on Chase’s shoulder as she points at the duelling birds, dive-bombing outside her window.
#8. Cold.
Chase complains about the temperature in Cuddy’s office after his father‘s death, but the chill is in his heart, not the room.
#9. Red.
Chase tells her she looks good in red, but looks even better out of it.
#10. Drink.
Cuddy steals Chase’s can of Pilsner and finishes it off, given that she knows why he won’t.
#11. Midnight.
“It’s midnight,” the cheery radio announcer says, and Cuddy curses in response, stepping on the gas as she runs further from Chase.
#12. Temptation.
His long, careless neck is right in front of her, bent down, taking notes, and it’s all Cuddy can do to remain professional.
#13. View.
“Thank you, Doctor Cuddy,” Chase murmurs as she leans over to hand him the case study, noting in his mind that she’s fond of red silk when it comes to her lingerie.
#14. Music.
It’s at the poker benefit where Chase says it for the first time, laughing against her hair and telling her he loves her in those operatic Aussie tones.
#15. Silk.
Cuddy’s sheets aren’t silk; they feel too rough when balanced against her skin, Chase thinks.
#16. Cover.
He has a million excuses to be in her office like a security camera moving around; indeed, at times he’s impressed her with his ingenuity.
#17. Promise.
Chase can’t look at Cuddy when she makes him promise to never leave.
#18. Dream.
She imagines telling everyone; she imagines marrying him sometimes, even, but then Cuddy’s inner realist wields a pin and shocks her out of the reverie.
#19. Candle.
“Funny,” Chase says breathlessly after exhausting the fire extinguisher, “it wasn’t the room I wanted to set alight, bringing a candle to bed.”
#20. Talent.
Sometimes Chase wonders if Cuddy chose him because he’s extraordinarily good at keeping secrets.
#21. Silence.
When Lisa says she wants a baby, she expects all kinds of excuses from Chase, but he doesn’t say a single word.
#22. Journey.
His heart’s been in his throat for days as they step on the plane, but he wants her to know more of him, which is why Lisa has all the guidebooks for Sydney in her bag.
#23. Fire.
Chase once mentioned a woman he'd dated who'd liked to be burned; he'd lied about the time frame, and the woman was Cuddy.
#24. Strength.
They’re in his bed; he switches to have at her from a different angle, and he’s damned impressed when she holds herself up on her forearms and tries not to moan.
#25. Mask.
As he places the mask over Cuddy’s mouth for her emergency c-section, Chase feels only a tiny pang of regret alongside the worry.
#26. Ice.
There are moments Chase knows he’s pushed her too far, when her eyes narrow and her breath freezes and lips tighten, but she’s even more beautiful then, and it bugs him that he can crack her that easily.
#27. Fall.
“I knew you said you were falling for me, but come on,” Cuddy murmurs, removing his head from her lap where it landed when he’d missed the depression in her carpet.
#28. Forgotten.
It’s been nearly three weeks, and it disturbs Chase deeply that instead of the anticipated moan, Cuddy growls at the touches of his fingers.
#29. Dance.
Cuddy bites her lip not to laugh when House spits out the accusation - “You’ve been doing the mattress mambo with Chase.”
#30. Body.
Nakedness doesn’t faze him anymore, but hers still does.
#31. Sacred.
Chase tries to remember, even as Cuddy’s breath still comes in fits and starts, her eyes closed - didn’t ancient pagans find their path to God through the joining of male and female?
#32. Farewells.
He isn’t in Australia for his father’s funeral, of course, but he does feel like he’s made his peace with it via Lisa and a bottle of good red wine.
#33. World.
House is critically injured, Chase looks like he’s about to cry, and for Cuddy, the world is slowly shrinking until it’s nothing but their faces.
#34. Formal.
It’s a secret, of course, but Chase formally tendered his resignation after Kayla died, though Cuddy just as formally refused to take it.
#35. Fever.
He passes it off as a fever when she throws him out; Chase of all people knows better than to admit how badly he’s cut from Cuddy’s denial.
#36. Laugh.
He’s outright beautiful when he forgets that professional pride and starts to giggle, and Cuddy wishes everyone could see it, not only her.
#37. Lies.
She doesn’t yell when she catches Chase in a lie; instead, she hisses through her teeth, burning him with the sybillants.
#38. Forever.
Cuddy knows the Chase is more of a ‘for now’ than a ‘forever’, but she still has hope, which worries her quite a bit.
#39. Overwhelmed.
She’ll never forgive him for this, she swears it; as the door closes behind Chase with no hint of sarcasm, Cuddy starts softly to cry.
#40. Whisper.
“Be quieter for me, please, luv,” Chase breathes in Cuddy’s ear, waiting until the footsteps mince past her office.
#41. Wait.
Cuddy paces impatiently outside House’s hospital room, but it’s Chase who’d strung her on knives when she’d asked him if he was okay.
#42. Talk.
The first time Cuddy had tried to ask Chase about his parents, he’d gone so quiet she was afraid somehow she’d killed him.
#43. Search.
She’s seen him when he knows he’s right - Cuddy can’t help but smile at the little boy’s glee in Chase’s expression when he finds the right diagnosis.
#44. Hope.
Chase isn’t like House or any of her past entanglements; Cuddy knows that; every inch of him just feels different under her fingernails.
#45. Eclipse.
Cuddy can tell, though it’s maddeningly slow, that Chase’s pain is disappearing, or at least being relegated to the dark side of his brain where he never ventures.
#46. Gravity.
“That’s a fucking serious thing to say,” Cuddy murmurs, though Chase doesn’t take back his confession of love.
#47. Highway.
Another reason Chase loves spending time with Cuddy is her car, and the feeling he gets in its passenger seat, cruising the freeway at immortal speeds.
#48. Unknown.
One of the things Chase loves about his job is not knowing what comes next, but he tells himself with people, he does know, though he doesn’t want to.
#49. Lock.
“You got it,” Cuddy breathes, showing Chase the letter of acceptance, the letter that makes him an attending; she knew there was no way he’d be turned down.
#50. Breathe.
Chase’s survival instincts won’t let him breathe until she tells him that she loves him, too.
