Title: Transparency
Fandom: House, M.D.
Character: Dr. Greg House
Prompt: 004. Insides.
Word Count: 408
Rating: PG
Spoilers: “One Day, One Room” and speculation on an upcoming preview
Author’s Notes: It seems to be the season for TPTB to be coming out with “big secrets” about our favorite protagonist. This is purely my speculation on why, if indeed they’re going to keep going on this path, House would suddenly be talking about all these long-buried things.

Spoilers: "Merry Little Christmas"
Summary: Is time finally running out?
Author's Notes: A drabble extrapolating on a scene from the Christmas episode; namely the motivations behind it. I'm leaning a little on the previews as well, so if you haven't seen them, you may want to avoid this but know that it is all speculation on my part.

Title: Like A Fallen Constellation
Fandom: House/24
Claim: Red Alert Squad
Prompt: 035. Breakdown.
Characters: Jake Hannigan, Brittany House
Pairing: Greg House/Brittany House, vaguely implied Jake/Brittany UST
Word Count: 3487
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Life after the end of the world.
Spoilers/Warnings: Major character death, angst, adult themes, spoilers for the 12/12 episode of House.
Author's Notes: Takes place in 2018, following the events of Eve, Answering The Bullet, Speaking In Ciphers, Glass Waltz and Sleeping Satellite, in that order. It goes without saying that while all those pieces are canon, this is not.

Title: Colorblind
Fandom: House/24
Claim: Red Alert Squad
Characters: Tom Quinn, Brittany Colefield, Michael Colefield, Christine Dale
Pairing: Brittany/Michael Colefield, Tom Quinn/Christine Dale
Prompt: 066. Match.
Word Count: 1249
Rating: PG
Spoilers: "Project Friendly Fire"
Summary: After two years, two people brought together by circumstance are reunited when they were never supposed to be.
Author's Notes: This piece is not After Life canon. It was never explained in MI-5 what happened to Tom after he was discharged from MI5, so that was where the After Life first-season finale, "Sacrifice of Angels," came in. In the new book Spooks: The Personnel Files, however, put together by the series' production company, it reveals that Tom married CIA liaison Christine Dale, both quit the service, and now runs a private security firm in London. (This was a little distressing to me, being a Tom/Ellie 'shipper.) So now we know what happened, and I wanted to see how that might have played out. This piece takes place after the events of "Sacrifice of Angels," but Tom has returned to England rather than staying in L.A., and he and Brittany have not seen each other since. It also takes place in 2004, prior to the events of Season 4's "The Dead Will Tell," when she is still married to Michael and before the final showdown with CIB.

Characters: Brittany House, Jack Bauer
Pairing: None
Word Count: 1032
Rating: PG

Title: Home
Fandom: House
Pairing: Greg House/Brittany House
Prompt: #1 -- North
Word Count: 310
Rating: PG
Author's Notes: This entire series will be set post-current canon, of sorts. They will all take place after Brittany's retirement and in sync with as much of current House canon as I can muster. Her POV, very stream of consciousness.

Prompt: 025. Strangers.
Word Count: 189
Rating: PG
Spoilers: "Fools for Love"
Summary: He's not the apologizing kind.
Author's Notes: Thank God for new episodes. A very short little snarky piece. This is set following the events of the 10/31 episode, so if you haven't yet seen it and don't want to be spoiled, come back later.

Title: She Waits
Fandom: 24
Characters: Jake Hannigan, Brittany House
Word Count: 502
Rating: PG
Summary: Told her all I'll ever want and all I'll ever need/Is just enough to make me leave
Author's Notes: Jake and Brittany friendship fic, completely inspired by the song "She Waits" by Zero 1 (featuring Hal Sparks). Which, if you haven't heard Hal Sparks sing, you are missing out. Seriously.
