I second the nomination.

This fic definately should be accepted, it was a poignant piece that most definately belongs.

Thank you.

"Shark Week" is actually the 3rd of my stories. "Coming to Terms" was followed by "Fault Lines", and then "Shark Week."

I have read Coming to Terms twice now and each time it has hit me with such force that I have found myself crying at some points and laughing out loud at others. It is a story that remains in your head a long time after reading. And the author does all this while keeping House and Cuddy completely in character so that vivid pictures of the two are happily created in your head.

I had no idea there was a House Cuddy library of ultimate stories - or what ever you call it, but if any story belongs in a Huddy Hall of Fame this one does. And i would love to get the link for more just like it. Thanks.

Note: this is not a House/Cuddy collection but rather a library of classic fanfiction set in the House M.D. universe, all genres and pairings. But I agree with your sentiments regarding stenveny's story.

Oh I see. It sounds like a great collection. Can't wait to check them all out.

As flywoman mentioned, it's an entire fandom roundup of stories, not just House/Cuddy. You can find it here. It includes all ships, gen, crossovers, AUs, one shots, multi-part epics, etc.

Compared to what we got from the tv writers, "Coming to Terms" is in my opinion a more interesting and emotionally-satisfying telling of what happens immediately after the season 6 finale. For one, it skews the weird emotional tone of the "i-love-you-so-let-me-kiss-your-ugly-scar" scene which belongs in a Harlequin novel, not in House. But other than this omission, "Coming to Terms" and the rest of the stories in the "Sharkverse" series can be read as a type of "fill-in-the-blanks" stories that fit the frame of what we see on screen ( ... )
