Thanks for your words, it makes me feel good! Glad you liked it. I may or may not have something already developing, we'll see if it turns into anything worthwhile!

Some days he thinks he's Humphrey Bogart.

I have to say straight off that I have often thought that without Bogart there would never be a Greg House. Secondly, I'm a huge fan of both Bogart and Laurie. I loved this story. The idea is fresh, original, and it works.

They both say the famous lines along with Bogie. In all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she had to walk into mine. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of your life.

I can picture this so clearly -- them saying the lines along with Bogie.

I see a lot of House in Bogie, they both share some of the same traits (both seem to like annoying the crap out of their friends and then laughing about it). I'm really glad another Bogie/Laurie fan could appreciate this, and I'm really glad you enjoyed it. Thanks!

This was so wonderful! I adore Bogart and Bacall. To mix them in with House/Cameron is just pure bliss. This is my favourite picture of B & B and it always makes me think of House/Cameron :)

Wow. This was...breathtaking. I loved the pace of it, it almost felt like an old movie, picturing them meeting at the theatre. I loved that House had this little secret - who would guess he liked Bogie and old Hollywood? But I love that hidden side of him and that he wants to keep it hidden - almost so that it's protected, unruined -- much like the way he wants Cameron's preciousness to not be spoiled.

I love the way they tossed lines back and forth. I've never seen any Bogie movies (now I really want to), but again the pace and ease with which they seemed to enjoy watching and talking about the movies gave the story a calming effect.

The little things - him loving her barefoot - were beautiful details. I liked getting inside House's head from the outside - in the way you used 3rd person. Him kissing her in the kitchen - *melts*. Him saying "We'll always have Paris" and kissing her again was beautiful. The scenes felt so peaceful, calm, easy.

This is probably one of the most gorgeous fics I've ever read. Simply beautiful!
