swatkatI'm home!
Technically, I was back on the 4th, but there was a cousin's wedding to attend (and a very close cousin at that. I even wore a sari for her sake, but we shall not talk about this incident anymore. it's kind of embarrassing that I *still* make a fool of myself when I am forced to wear one – maybe I should try and learn. someday.), and there was much excitement over that. (Trivia: most Indian languages do not have a synonym for 'cousin', so I always have to consciously use the word 'cousin' when I'm talking to anyone who is not an Indian and doesn't know and therefore might ask questions like 'Isn't your sister too young to get married?'). I could use some good sleep, but there are SO MANY PEOPLE to meet – I don't know how I will manage in such a short vacation (a month, but how long does that take?). It's pleasantly chilly here, as I expected, and I shudder to think what will happen when I go back in January. Oh well, no point worrying about it now.
Weddings are such odd occasions, aren't they? On one hand, it's such an amazing thing, and yet on the other hand you feel a little bit sad, because equations change, and sometimes you don't want them to. The BIL is a cool guy, though – a welcome addition to the family.

I love House/Cuddy fandom. Even if they are kind of weird and extraordinarily sappy and occasionally very scary (just peek into![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
house_cuddy and go through some posts – it's positively traumatizing), only they could say, 'Yes, we're very happy with the comfort level and the friendship and the drama, but can we please have more bickering now?' Because, let's face it: the best thing about the ship is that they are *not* together and are not going to be, ever, on the show, and that they are really really hot when they bicker.

I have a request, dear flist. I've jonesing for some good House/Wilson for ages, but I'm too scared to look – there's just so much of it out there, and so little to my taste (from what I could find). I manage with the Cuddyfic (and some of you have been writing it. I HAVE IT ALL BOOKMARKED), because I have to, but House/Wilson fandom intimidates me. So. Any recs? Preferably written within the last three or four months? Anything will do, as long as it is House/Wilson. I trust your tastes.

Date: 2006-12-08 08:25 am (UTC)Thank you for making a post that I can actually respond to. And annoy you instead of my word processing system.
So... since you're home... does that mean you'll like, be around? Perhaps? *subtle as a rock* My own agenda aside, I'm glad you're happily home and the wedding sounds like it was a lot of fun... but see, now you need to divulge what happened with the sari. ^^
*
That comm is on drugs, I swear it. I love it dearly, and I love the people dearly but sometimes... Our favourite author posted a few gems while you were away... and my new favourites are the post-Finding Judas apology fics. It's like, Oh, for the love of god... do you even watch this show? Occasionally? Peut etre? Non? D'accord.
Oh. And now that you're home and have chill time (work with me here), you should write fic. You should write me Cuddy fic for my birthday, I think. *nods*
Totally.
*
... I get all my HouseWilson from you.
:/
*
You did see Finding Judas, right? Right? Cause holy crap.
HOLY.CRAP.

Oh, and recent development - I ♥ Foreman.

Date: 2006-12-08 08:43 am (UTC)But. I'm here, and yes I'll be around (YAY!) and when *is* your birthday, BTW? The sari was nearly not as unbearable as I thought it'd be - my mother helped me wear it, of course, because I, unlike my sister, cannot wear one myself (*sigh*). I did not make a fool out of myself, even though there were people telling me to 'walk properly' and 'not slouch'. There were times I nearly tripped over the thing, but that didn't happen, either. I also wore more make-up than I have *ever* worn and earned a lot of compliments, which, I admit, was nice. Saris are nice things. Someday I'll learn to wear them, I swear.
*
Do I even want to know what Our Favourite Author wrote? *smirks* And God, the apology fics. He's a bastard, what else did you expect? However, for some good post FJ fic - you did read
*
I will rec you some, as soon as I find good fic myself. *pokes the rest of the flist*
*
I did see FJ, and OMGwhat are they doing to Cuddy? Tell them to stop! Argh!
Even though I love the drama and the Cuddy screentime.And it's hard not to love Foreman. He's teh awesome. I'm glad you've seen finally seen the light. *g*
no subject
Date: 2006-12-08 08:57 am (UTC)Eee! Happiness! My birthday's the... uh... oh, the 14th. Yeah. And it doesn't count if you don't trip. ;) So you win, no matter what.
That name sounds really familiar. I'm pretty sure I did. And although I can't say what it was, I think I remember liking it. And no, not really. You really don't. (You should read it anyway. It's amazing.)
I want WilsonCuddy fic. Badly. Really good, long, in character (but with the sex) WilsonCuddy fic. :(
(I would actually take good ForemanCuddy fic too, now that I've seen the light/he's not accusing everyone of being racist/yelling at my Cuddy)
I almost cried. *this close* My mother was right there, though, so I settled for the *jaw-->floor* expression. (I'm still spoiler free, so whatever's happening in 3x14 pleeeease don't mention it!) And it totally made up for the horrendous medical plot lines that were WYD and Humpty Dumpty. Even the title redeemed itself.
but OMG. CUDDY.
(but go us for calling it, no? I hope that's not the last word on the baby plot line, though. I'm still rather attached to it.)
no subject
Date: 2006-12-08 01:56 pm (UTC)Hmm. Wilson/Cuddy. My House generally tends to get jealous and get in the middle when I think of Wilson and Cuddy together, but I'll see what I can do. *g*
And honestly? 3.14 isn't THAT exciting. I mean, yes it is, but it isn't what the shippers are calling it. It's pretty awesome, though. *g*
Tell them stop torturing her. I've never been fond of the baby plotline, but when Cuddy wants something? She gets it. So there. This is Not Done. *weeps some more*
no subject
Date: 2006-12-09 07:09 am (UTC)OMG. You're really gonna write me fic? Really? You can like, ship Cuddy/fruit basket for all I care. 'Cause you're writing it. And therefore it's awesome.
Shhhhhhhhh. No say. ^^

Vous comprenez?
Bien.

Date: 2006-12-08 05:43 pm (UTC)I don't have many House/Wilson recs (I depend on you for those!). I have a confession, though -- I just joined a comm for House/Tritter. I haven't gone back and read the posts to see if what's there is good or horrible, though. But I must ask: what is wrong with me???? I don't usually have much interest in m/m, and *THIS* is what piques my interest? I am worried.
There are several shops in Berkeley that sell saris, and every time I go past them and see their window displays, the very idea of trying to put one on -- much less move around in one -- intimidates me. They're so pretty, though!
no subject
Date: 2006-12-09 03:32 am (UTC)And I insist that you read everything written by
It actually makes a lot of sense that you're interested in House/Tritter. Clearly Tritter is teh evol, and he and House could have a lot of hate sex. That's your kind of thing alright. I would read House/Tritter only if found Tritter a little more interesting.
Saris aren't so bad once you learn how to handle them - but it's a bitch until you do. And one of these days I'm going to have to, because the older I grow the more I learn how important it is on a formal occasion. There's also the added benefit of you looking elegant no matter what you look like.

Tritter is indeed teh evol -- he even chews his gum menacingly! I am repelled but simultaneously enthralled by him. However, I suspect there won't be much fic, because (1) everyone else is squicked by the idea and (2) Tritter's arc won't last much longer, given how many episodes he's already been in. But perhaps I'll do a ficlet or two. Drabbles, even.
