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. ( ”Transparency” )

Title: Warning Sign Fandom: HouseCharacters: Dr. Greg House Prompt: 090. Home. Word Count: 100 Rating: PG 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. ( Warning Sign ) |

Title: Like A Fallen Constellation Fandom: House/24Claim: 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. ( Like A Fallen Constellation )

Title: Colorblind Fandom: House/24Claim: 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. ( Colorblind )

Title: Home Fandom: HousePairing: 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. ( Home ) |

Title: Humiliation Fandom: HouseCharacters: Dr. Greg House 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. ( Humiliation )

Title: Roundabout Fandom: HouseCharacter: Dr. Greg House Prompt: 044. Circle.

Author's Notes: Reflection on the first two episodes of season three. Slightly ironic that I'm writing this while listening to the song that I'm listening to. ( Roundabout )

Title: Midnight Black Fandom: SpooksCharacters: Adam Carter, Brittany House Pairing: Adam Carter/Fiona Carter Word Count: 562 Rating: PG Spoilers: Future episodes of Series Four. Summary: Small gestures being passed between two friends become strangers. Author's Notes: I haven't actually seen the episodes which contain the events in question, and I'm not too thrilled at them, but the idea of this fic got stuck in my head after the first part of "The Special" and I couldn't get it out, so no one shoot me if it ends up being well off canon.

Title: Ciphers Fandoms: House/24Characters: Greg House, Jake Hannigan, Brittany House, Mark Holden Pairing: Greg House/Brittany House Prompt: 022. Enemies. Word Count: 1610 Rating: PG Spoilers/Warnings: "Meaning" and speculation about rest of Season 3 Summary: House gets a very unexpected visitor at the hospital. The walls come tumbling down. Author's Notes: This fic has been in the back of my brain for a long time, based off some of the roleplaying I'm doing in Theatrical Muse. Basically, when Jake ended up in the hospital for two months, House's fiancee was the only person to give a damn about him. Now when the tables may turn, Jake is prepared to repay the favor.

Title: Falling Columns Fandom: House, M.D.Character: Dr. Greg House Prompt: 002. Middles. Word Count: 531 Rating: PG Spoilers: References House vs. God and the brief Cuddy/Wilson story arc from the tail end of Season 2. Summary: Every time House looks at Cuddy and Wilson, all he sees is a car accident. A burning building. The Poseidon going over. Author's Notes: Another short ficlet. Slightly AU, as in canon, Wilson's kind of out of this arc by now. When will season three get here so I can be properly inspired again? ( Falling Columns )

Disclaimer: The sandbox isn't mine, but Mark and everything else I brought with me is. Summary: It's minutes after midnight when Mark Holden realizes none of them are ever going to be the same again. Author's Notes: Takes place right at the end of the first day of 24, in September of 2001.

It's strange what desire will make foolish people do.Word Count: 1002 Rating: R (some sexual descriptions, nothing overly graphic) Summary: To touch is to feel a love that overpowers me / She's all I'll ever needAuthor's Notes: This was a really difficult one to do, which is why it's not that long, but I've tried my best with this pairing. It's set some month and a half after We Don't Need To Whisper and the night before in a world so unclear. ( Completing The Fall )
