Fic
Seduction (In Six Courses)
Written immediately after 'Epic Fail' (and all in one night, I might add), because I fell head over heels for foodie!House.
Rating: PG 13
Excerpt:
Planning a menu is like writing music; and in regard to this particular metaphor he is beginning to think the cooking instructor may have had a point. The dishes, like each note, each bar of melody, must tell a winding tale, must reach and climb toward a final crescendo of sensation; each element separate and distinct and yet all twining gloriously together in a harmony, to create something transcendent, something more than the sum of its ingredients. He’s got a lot of free time, now, and so he plans.

Part Three
Too Late/Heartless/Nothing Else I Can Say
My spec on the spoilers for 6.07, written several weeks before the ep itself.
Rating: Up to NC-17 at the end, but I tend to be a prude with ratings.
Excerpt:
The silence lies like a blanket, like the velvet night sky between them, and her eyes have stopped their skating and have come to rest, as light and brittle as splintered glass on his face, and the expression within their monochrome depths is something close to shock. The alcohol is at work, twisting his tongue into ribbons of truthfulness and naked confession, and he can’t think what’s brought it on, except perhaps it’s just a trick of memory, and the shifting luminescence moving like an aurora across her face. She’s beautiful, and he remembers, and he can’t seem to hold his tongue at all.
(And If I Ever Needed You Would You Be There?) Too Late
(How Could You Be So) Heartless?
(Eh Eh) Nothing Else I Can Say
Beta/Prodigal - Estelle and Vanessa Cuddy intro pieces
My beloved OCs. I've been working on these characters since Season Two. These two connected oneshots are their introductions to the world. Hope you like!
Rating: Like, PG
Excerpt:
She looks no different to the last time he saw her in person, five years ago, or to the last time her saw her on a TV screen, barely six months ago. She is perfectionism personified, and in this her daughter has found her inheritance; single string of pearls throttled around a graceful, rod-straight neck, makeup delicate and and powder-soft and forming a veil of understated colour over her sharp-featured face, cashmere cardigan a subtly expensive shade of burgundy, or perhaps it is merlot. She is still exceptionally beautiful at sixty-four; still formidable and terrifying and, even now, she is still watching him with knowing, relentless eyes.
Beta
Prodigal
House/HP squeeage:
Yes, H/C/W are all massively into HP. Believe it.
Rating: Um, is ridiculous a rating?
Excerpt:
“Bellatrix.”
She’s good; she hardly misses a beat.
“Snape.”
“So... who does that make me?”
Their replies are in perfect unison, although their answers are different.
Hers fits better than his. Technically.
“Narcissa.”
“Wormtail.”
“Oh, great. That’s just… that's great.”

Fanmixes (which pretty much always include fic)
Bad Romance (Your Love Is Nothing I Can't Fight)
A House/Cuddy Gaga Mix
I'm in the process of fixing the links, but the fic and the track listing is still here for now. I posted this shortly after the first demo of 'Bad Romance' leaked, and I think I can proudly say I was one of the first people to associate House/Cuddy with this INCREDIBLY AWESOME SONG. It's all House/Cuddy, all Gaga.
Excerpt:
He kissed her for the first time four hours later, and it felt like she’d been holding her breath all the while. He had long, graceful, pianist’s fingers, and they wound through the snarls in her hair, and no-one had ever thought to touch her like that, kiss her that way, and it all happened faster and easier than falling asleep. He was gone, her dorm room still left ajar, by the time she woke at noon.

Mayfield Mixtape
House's POV during his time in Mayfield, AU for Season 6. I'm still in love with this mix and its sisters below.
Excerpt:
Psychiatric units are not glamorous. He shaved his head on the third day; sick already of the gritty feel of the industrial shampoo on his scalp. It’s breezy, and easier, and he doesn’t think about it much, until he catches a blurred glimpse of himself in some shiny surface or other. He looks like a prison inmate, or an extra from One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest, which is appropriate enough. He doesn’t look anything like a match for her and her vaguely exotic beauty, but then again, he never has.
Pirouette
Cuddy's POV during House's time in Mayfield. AU for Season 6.
Excerpt:
She’s never begged him, never asked him to love her out loud, and she never will. She’ll never say the word please; she only ever slips it quietly into glances and touches, and when she does it’s so whispered a request that he doesn’t even hear it.
If I Had Some Influence, Girl
Oh, the OT3. Wilson is in love with Cuddy who is in love with House. Does life get any better?
Excerpt:
He’s good with tissues, and handkerchiefs. It’s a skill he’s learnt, in recent years; knowing exactly when to turn up just behind her with a quiet, sorry smile and a fresh box of Kleenex. These days, it’s more often than not, and he’s taken to getting all of his handkerchiefs dry-cleaned in weekly, fresh-smelling batches, just in case. She always gives them back, wordless and flint-eyed, a few days after the fact, and they’re always impossibly white and precisely folded into perfectly starched origami squares, as if she’d never cried at all.
Breakeven
A post 6.07 House is broken-hearted EP. Just a couple tracks, because 'Breakeven' by The Script was just BEGGING to be used for this whole House/Cuddy/Lucas malarky. No fic, 'cause I was feeling lazy.
Even If We're Sinking
Pop-tastic Cuddy POV Season 6 AU.
Excerpt:
He was always handsome, always sent heads turning and necks arching in his direction, and when they were young there were always girls; a plethora, an overabundance of lovely young things happy to trail around campus at his heels, along with a smaller, but no less fervent knot of beautiful young men, admirers of his effortlessly cool charm, or his intelligence, or both. She was never alone in admiring him, and even though she felt it, felt the inevitable, indefinably irresistible connection between them, she was never fully able to dispel the vague tingle of uncertainty, of unworthiness, that seemed to come hand in hand with his affection.
And now if I don't go and get something for dinner I'm sure to die of starvation. Enjoy, all!

Warning: My rambling contains spoilers and speculation of the rather insane kind!
The OT3. Just how wrecked up are they?
1. Wilson donates half his liver to someone he doesn't really like because he feels guilty.
2. House hallucinated being with Cuddy and would rather admit he loves her to her idiot boyfriend than talk to her about it.
3. Cuddy is burying her head in the sand, pretending to be happy when she isn't and refusing to acknowledge that she's made a mistake.
Oh my Godga, these characters are so messed up it's not even funny. I love it.

THIS MIX CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR SEASON 6/UPCOMING EPISODES
Fanmix: Breakeven - A House/Cuddy/Lucas EP
Title: Breakeven
Character/s: House, Cuddy/Lucas
Spoilers: SPOILERS FOR SEASON 6/UPCOMING EPISODES
Warning: Contains adult language.
Disclaimer: I am not Shore or Jacobs or GY. I rather wish I was.
File: 6 tracks/6 art pieces + cover. 20MB rar file uploaded to 4shared.
Summary: House's little happily-ever-after fantasy future with Cuddy is shattered when he discovers her involvement with someone he considered a friend: Lucas, the PI. The ensuing House!angst is entirely understandable, in my opinion. The poor guy.
A/N: No accompanying fic this time, just my rather shabby attempt at art. I figure it's all pretty self-explanatory. That isn't at all to say that I won't ever write a fic based on this scenario, because, knowing myself, I probably will. And sooner rather than later, most likely.

Meelsie’s Season 6 House/Cuddy Review Project
One Squeeing Fangirl’s Perspective on the Continuing Evolution of Huddy
(pretentious title, I know)
A Journey in art, meta and music
So, before Season 6 started, I thought to myself,
‘Wouldn’t it be great fun to write up a recap/review/squeepost for each of the new episodes?'
I’ve been a fan of this show since the very first episode, after all, and wouldn’t it be simply glorious fun to document my impressions, thoughts, emotional reactions, and general meta ramblings, in response to the latest season of my well-loved favourite show?
Well, yes, it would be fun. It would also be way too much work.
(Luckily, I have
Thus I present to you my Season 6 recap/review/meta/squeeage series....
OF ONLY THE BITS RELEVANT TO HOUSE/CUDDY.
Convenient, yes? Fun? Absolutely!
Far less work? Oh hella yes.
Bring it on.
I’ll make this a weekly thing, but I’ll attempt to catch up with the first couple of episodes in the next few days, so by the time I get to see ‘Brave Heart’ on Tuesday or Wednesday (AEST), I should be just about up to date.
And then I’ll have a spare week or so to die of anticipation of episode 7.
Some notes:
♠ I have no intention of curtailing my tendency to reference spoilers in these posts, as it would be far too difficult and unpleasant, so if you’re spoiler-squeamish, DO NOT CLICK.
♠ I’ve no idea how long/short these pieces will be. I’ll try to keep them fairly on-topic, but of course I will on occasion branch off into long, rambling meta on the history of House/Cuddy, their tumultuous and UST-ridden present, and my speculation for their future, near and far. So, length-wise, I’ll be playing it by ear, but aiming for anywhere between 750-1250 words each week.
♠ Predominantly, I shall be reviewing only the House/Cuddy scenes. This means, as a general rule, House and Cuddy, together: talking, fighting, gazing, snarking,
♠ I shan’t be cursing. I try very hard not to swear IRL, (although I absolutely believe that it can sometimes be necessary in fic, if it helps to elucidate the character - yes, I am looking at you, House! No-one else ever swears in my fic!?!) So, there’s no reason why I should let this standard slip here.
♠ I’ll try not to bitch about Lucas too much. I don’t hate him, yet, but who knows? I might, in time. As of right now I feel rather sorry for him, to be honest. But he is the natural enemy to House/Cuddy, so I shall certainly be engaging in some (hopefully) good-natured ribbing of him. Be warned.
♠ That being said, I have no interest in bashing other characters; other than of course the obvious, general stuff, like; “Oh, Foreman, why are you acting like such a jerk?” or “Quit it with the emo, Chase! Just shut up and look delicious already!” I'm certainly not anticipating a great volume of such comments, but they might occasionally slip in, so once again, you are forewarned.
♠ Each week I will upload two songs which I feel reflect House and Cuddy’s thoughts, emotions and perspectives during the episode. Call it a mini-fanmix, if you will. I’ve no earthly idea how I’m going to limit myself to just two songs… I’ll have to discipline myself!
♠ I would like to make all of you aware, right from day one, that I am terribly, endlessly, helplessly fond of Dr James Wilson. So, there is most definitely going to lashings of decadently-heaped praise for the boy wonder oncologist in these reviews. It’ll all be related to House/Cuddy, I’m sure, but just take heed, guys. I have a great talent for finding the tiniest, flimsiest, most ridiculous of excuses to talk about Wilson, and you can bet that I’ll be exploiting that enviable skill here!
♠ Obviously, as all of this will be posted on LJ, I'm hoping that this little endeavour of mine will become something more than a mere personal project. The thing I love best about being a committed House/Cuddy shipper is the wonderful sense of community we have going on, and I'd like to consider this series my own little contribution, above and beyond my usual repetoire of fics and fanmixes. I look forward with rapturous anticipation to hearing your thoughts, ideas, musings, squeeings and scornful refutations of my opinion. That is kinda the point of this whole thing; to faciliate and promote thought, discussion, argument and impassioned conversations regarding our favourite dysfunctional diagnostician and his highly-strung but exceptionally gorgeous administrator boss. I'd really, really love to not always be the one doing all the talking, so please, I beg you, comment like crazy!!!
All of that now being said and done, it's onward and upward to my first review!!

You are The Magician
Skill, wisdom, adaptation. Craft, cunning, depending on dignity.
Eleoquent and charismatic both verbally and in writing,
you are clever, witty, inventive and persuasive.
The Magician is the male power of creation, creation by willpower and desire. In that ancient sense, it is the ability to make things so just by speaking them aloud. Reflecting this is the fact that the Magician is represented by Mercury. He represents the gift of tongues, a smooth talker, a salesman. Also clever with the slight of hand and a medicine man - either a real doctor or someone trying to sell you snake oil.
