Why this must be read:
The author calls this 'thirty-five essays in love and friendship'. And so it is, not all of them long, but each and every one of them beautiful as the characters progress with their lives after the events of the Season 4 finale. The gradual evolution is what really makes the story work for me, and the fact that it manages to incorporate the entire cast into the story. The House and Cuddy relationship aszauberer_sirin writes it is a wonderful fleshing out of the glimpses we get on the show.
House is not fooling anyone and Cuddy is not fooling herself.
`It’s freezing out here,´ she says. House hasn’t touched his sandwich. `And I know the only reason you are spending so much time with me is because Wilson can’t see you right now.´
He shrugs.
She is smart enough to realize he is trying to make her feel pity; but she is Cuddy enough to stay, anyway. She stays, and wonders if it’s a recurring theme for her or if it’s a recurring theme for them. But there’s no them because there’s no us and Cuddy has too many years of experience at this game not to know better. This is not about her, this is about Wilson.
`It’s freezing out here,´ she repeats, but, freezing or not, she stays.
She always stays.
