Hello, I'm

tree and this month I'll be driving the House van. January is going to be a meandering celebration of everyone's favourite Dean of Medicine. (Yes,

Why this must be read:

I admit, I originally read this because of the promise of smut. Don't look at me like that. But this fic offers much more than that. To begin, it's cleverly crafted: seemlessly weaving recollection into present action. And despite it being a relatively short piece, the author manages to create a believable case aftermath, as well as romance, and some keen character insight.

“Can we make this quick?” Greg House muttered as he slid his bad leg underneath the table, glancing around at the rest of the assembled members. “The making of Angelina Jolie’s cleavage is on Pay-Per-View at ten.”

“Fitting, Dr. House. Very fitting.” The lawyer, Lovett, had teeth like a picket fence and the eyes of a sociopath: fitting, indeed. “Considering that the focus of this case seems to be on the sparklingly mature way you handle your patients. And their families.”

Lisa Cuddy sat at the head of the table, her hands folded on the paperwork, looking drawn and strained and irritated.

Well, who wouldn’t be? House thought bitterly, rubbing at his thigh. This is a bigger waste of time than actual work.

Read Dressed to Kill.
