Why this must be read:

So I kind of love The X Files. A lot. And there simply does not exist in the universe enough Cuddy/Scully fic. Since Mulder and Scully spend so much time in hospitals, it seems only fair that they should one day find their way to Princeton Plainsboro. And who better to watch over our dynamic duo than House and Cuddy? This fic shows an understanding of all three characters through well-written dialogue, but particularly of Cuddy - the way she can be different things to different people and yet always remain herself.



"I'm not treating him. Look at this -- what kind of a name is Fox, anyway?"

"What kind of a name is 'House'?"

"...It's Dutch. What kind of a name is Cuddy? 'A small cabinet or cabin in the belly of a ship or boat'. Your ancestors were sailors. 'Makes sense why you're so comfortable hanging out down at the docks."

“I could make several comments about exactly where your family tree branched, House, but I don’t have time to Wiki the Great Apes. Look. This guy’s partner says that they’ve already been to Georgetown and Sinai. No one can figure out what’s wrong with him. Lachlan says that it’s the weirdest presentation of idiopathic symptoms he’s ever seen.”

“’Lachlan also thinks that the Matrix movies are a moving social commentary.”
