i love your characterizations. Just, simply superb.

This whole chapter was rather poignant, especially the final part. I hope that you update soon! :P

Thank you. It's hard to write something so emotional with these two, because they're not the most outwardly emotive characters, so your characterization praise makes me so happy!

Thank you, I'm glad you're enjoying all of it. I really think the angst is truer to what we'd see on the show, rather than a happy ending.

You just sucked all the breath out of me. Seriously, I was completely blown away by this chapter. Powerful is the only word that comes to mind. And sad and angst and beautiful and heart breaking... but Powerful is the word of the day. It's painfully honest with Cuddy admitting her faults and House turning away at the end. I can't really describe it. And maybe I really am a masochist, but I love this feeling of drowning in their angst. Maybe because it's so real and it rips me to pieces and it makes me feel. (Wow, that just sounded wrong and weird right there. :P)

Anyway, excellent, excellent fic. I can't get enough.

What a wonderful compliment! You've made my day!

Something like this would, I think, cause Cuddy to question what she wants, and that's always difficult. House may be many things, but I cannot see him as someone who'd take advantage in a situation like that.

I'm lovin' all the angst. So good. That last scene where he was refusing her advances was so beautiful.

Thanks! Much as I think there's attraction there, for all that we've seen of House's behavior, I can't see him taking advantage of her while vulnerable like that.

I agree. He's a jackass, but I can't see him taking advantage of someone like that. He's someone who sees consequences. He did turn Stacy down at first at the airport because she'd been fighting with Mark.
