So... come on in! Pull up a chair, sit down with a tasty beverage and enjoy!!!

PS - Not that I am a legal-eagle, being a literary phoenix and all, but I am given to understand that as long as a post is not visible to the wide world, web-wise, one may not have to submit the work contained within it as a reprint when trying to sell said work. Therefore, much, if not all, of this journal will be friends-only. So, if you wish to read... post and I will add you on in. Welcome to the Cafe!!! :-) -K

PPS - 08-01-07 - Having remembered the definition of 'concrete expression', I have un-friendlocked the fan-fic. The original pieces still stay as they were, alas, but are accessible for the request. Enjoy!

Comments and concrit welcomed and much appreciated!!! I don't promise to implement every suggestion, but all positive critiques will be listened to and thought about. Thank'ee's! -K

I have apparently just lost my laptop after losing my dog's mother this am. This on top of two months of fighting w/LJ to get S4-7 to a size that will fit so it can be posted. (And I still haven't succeeded.)

I am so upset I'm sitting here writing this instead of watching tonight's epi.

Truly, there is no joy in Mudville (normally known as Ann Arbor) tonight.

Written for the Fall '07 Chase_Fest. Brought in late, but much improved, in great part thanks to the help of the Best of Betas pwcorgigirl     

Titles: Three Leaves from a Yew Tree: Part I - Signs Easily Missed, Part II - Of Pride & Pennies, Part III - The First to Begin

Prompts: 
Part I - #47 Post-"Mistake" -- Still surprised and angry that House didn't warn him, Chase thinks back over the past months, looking for any signs that House knew -- and realizes that House was planning to tell him, all the way back in "Cursed", before Chase said he didn't want to hear it. How does Chase react to that realization? And were there any other signs that he missed? Gen

Part II - #83 Why does Cuddy give Chase the time in NICU and lie about it? What does she know about him, or he have on her that House doesn't?

 Part III - #35 (Gen) Chase's thoughts during 'Half-Wit'. The cancer diagnosis isn't a lie. I'd like to see a take on this that isn't mine.

Warnings: Minor character death, major character death; spoilers for S1-13 "Cursed, S2-8 "The Mistake", S-20 & 21 "Euphoria - Parts 1 &2",  S2-22 "Forever", S3-15 - "Half-wit", possible spoilers for misc. bits of trivia; rated PG-13 for heavy thoughts and situations

Many, many thanks go to pwcorgigirl for emergency beta-ing way above and beyond the call. She busted her butt to get these stories beta-ed for me at the last minute, and I want to acknowledge that effort, and my immense appreciation of same, even though my life melted immediately thereafter and these aren't being posted until now.

Also thanks go to  keeperofstars , for being understanding about the aforementioned melting.

Hopefully the tale is worth the wait.

Belated thanks also go to queenzulu for putting up the challenge that someone ought to do this one. 

Title: Draw the Circle
Author: Katrina Hawke
Prompt: 37. Wilson gets stuck doing a peer evaluation on House. Bonus points for honesty.
Rating: PG for mild swearing and bad examples
Character(s)/Pairing(s): Wilson, offstage cameo by House / Gen

Warnings: rated PG for mild swearing and a thoroughly bad example of how to behave in the workplace, possible spoilage for minor bits of background trivia

Disclaimer: House M.D. and all related characters are the property of Shore Z, Bad Hat Harry, Fox, etc.
This particular variation on a theme belonging to others is mine.

Summary: As advertised, Wilson gets stuck being part of a 360 degree evaluation of his friend and colleague, one Dr. Gregory House. Fun and frustration ensue. Or at least frustration, as Wilson tries to figure out exactly how he is supposed to fill this out and stay alive and unlectured.

Enjoy!

This story ordered itself written down over two days in September. The first part was written on a Thursday, and the next day the rest grabbed me by the throat and wouldn't let me go until I'd finished it.

My thanks go out again to  pwcorgigirl  for an excellent job of putting a fine polish on this tale. The veriest Best of Betas, she. :-)

Warnings: Spoiler for S3-17 "Fetal Postion", possible spoilage for misc. bits of background trivia, rated PG-13 for mild profanity.

Have at it, if you would! :-) Not entirely sure where this came from, although I have an inkling. In any case, the first part ordered itself written down Thursday, and Friday the rest grabbed me by the throat and wouldn't let me go until I'd finished it.
