Why this must be read: This fic is an excellent "Where are they now?" look at Chase, Cameron, and Foreman after their time with House. I love the reactions of those who are now forced to deal with House-tainted employers, and how his influence lives on in each of them. Brilliant characterization and a really fun read.
Excerpt: “But what?” She was a full seven inches shorter than he was and seldom wore heels, but never had any trouble making him feel tiny. “You couldn’t feed a carnivore the food it needs? Their natural diet is somehow distasteful to you?”
“It wasn’t the mice, it was –” he groped for the right word. She sighed, cutting him off before he could get a chance to say anything to explain himself, looking away and back up to his face, eyes cold and firm.
“I know this will come as a shock to you, but as a doctor, you’re going to have to do things you won’t find pleasant. You’re going to have to tell people they’re dying. You’ll deal with cruelty and deception and people fighting you when you try to help them. And if you can’t handle a job as cut-and-dried as feeding a snake a dead mouse, I don’t know how I’m going to be able to teach you anything.”
