Fic House/Cameron: Somewhere to be

[naika7]

The man was dead, an end of an era. Who was he anyway? Someone House was supposed to call father. A formality, really.

He needed to get out. Now.

***

There was one place for him to go and that place was neither quiet nor peaceful The ER. For him, however, it was an obvious choice. Where else? For a year now it was a safe haven where he got away from

Awesome stuff :) I would have loved seeing the scene in the ER...well, at least we know where House hangs out now ;) He never used to get most of his patients from the ER.

Loved Cameron in this; understanding perfectly what House would need. Not words of sympathy, but a case to take his mind off things (well, had he really cared) :)

I am really glad you like it.

I got this plot bunny at 12 am and just couldn't stop until I was done, whipped this up really quickly. Needless to say I couldn't stay awake in class today.

Thank you for reviewing.

OK, missing scene and post-ep fics are my new crack. Wait, not that I had any real crack before.. anyway.

Cam knows him well, this scene could very well be in canon OR fanon if H/C were dating. I could see them being together, just like that, with Maybe a little mention of evening plans (S E X) but you know. Just like this.

Yes, he went to the ER first. First!!

I am pretending that this was canon. It really could've been, you know?

"Yes, he went to the ER first. First!!"

Totally. I mean he could have gone to the clinic to get a case or answered one of the requests people write him. Anyway..

Thanks for reading and commenting.

I love this concept. House seeking comfort, Cameron giving comfort . . . And it just occurred to me as I was reading this fic, that House did indeed go to the ER first. That's got to say something! :D

Now, I'm going to nitpick, but only because you are such a fabulous writer. You switched between past and present tense in the following paragraph:
"The latter was like a habit she couldn’t quit. Nothing, absolutely nothing kept her from wondering whether he has reached the point of no return, whether he has pushed his limits too far this time."

Small, inconsequential error that didn't detract from the overall piece.

Yep, yep. You know Foreman told Chase and Cameron about House's Dad. It doesn't mean that Cameron didn't already know about it.

Thanks for pointing out the mistake. I got a plot bunny at 12 am and didn't stop until I finished it. Not betaed, so thank you.

I love that the fic shows up not 24 hours after the episode air-date.

Brilliance. I would love to see something more-indepth in this same vein - did she send the flowers? Did House find out, what did he say to her, if anything?

And, House said she was like his dad in season 3 (I believe) - would losing his dad make him realize anything about his relationship with Cam?

Hmm....

[naika7]

Hmm... good idea about Cameron-John House parallel, he told her that in "Daddy's boy"

I don't know if I'll get around to writing more on this, but if I do I'll refer to your comment.

Thanks so much for reading.

I didn't see the episode yet, but when I do, I'm just going to pretend this is a part of it. I love these subtle, yet meaningful encounters between them. This one is perfect. Well done.

Thank you. It means a lot that you liked it :)
