House drabbles

[jadesfire]

These are the two House drabbles to come out of the fest so far:

Title: Breaking Point (for fandom_me)
Rating: Gen
Summary: It's just a case of knowing what buttons to push.



There's always a moment when enough is enough. When the look goes from exasperated to tired, from annoyed to defeated. If you know where the buttons are, you can push them until they overload. And if you don't know, then you have to push until you find them. Patients, colleagues, friends, lovers are all the same, all have their pressure points, reflexes that make them respond without thinking.

House knows exactly where everyone says he should stop, it's just that he doesn't want to. Because you don’t learn anything that way. And that way, they don't learn anything about you.

Title: The Replacement (for bironic)
Rating: Gen
Summary: Even Emergency Medical Holograms need a locum... (House/Voyager crossover. Yes, really)



"Please state the nature of the medical emergency who the hell wrote this script?"

Janeway raised an eyebrow. "This is your replacement?"

"My locum." The Doctor smiled faintly.

"He's not in uniform."

"He keeps rewriting the subroutines."

The new doctor cocked his head, blinking, and suddenly the room was full of pounding music.

"Off!" Janeway shouted, glaring at the replacement, who ignored her, turning away and selecting something on a display. It looked like a particularly risqué antique film.

"He was a great doctor in his day," the Doctor said. "And just think how much you'll appreciate having me back."

HEH HA HEHE *snort* HEHEHA *thump*

He keeps rewriting the subroutines

Oh, he would. He so would.

And in case you didn't know: In some Scandinavian languages, locum means lavatory. But then again, they also call 'friend' 'limping twerp'

He totally would! Thanks!

*grin* That could be unfortunate...

House EMH! Hee! It's brilliant and perfect.

Thank you! I'm resisting the urge to write more, as I don't know Voyager that well. But it amused me far too much :D

Oh, I love House as the EMH. I love he immediately makes himself at home. What a fun idea. :)

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed.

Because you don’t learn anything that way.

That is House in a nutshell. What a lovely drabble!

The other one (once I dredged up Voyager out of the catacombs of my brain) made me grin all over my face. Pounding music and rique' films indeed! That's our House. :)

Thanks - my House gears are a little rusty, so I wasn't as sure about that one.

Bironic challenged me to the Voyager one and the image just made me giggle too much. On the bus. (not a good plan ;))

Thanks!

I hate to be annoyingly repetitive, but...House as the replacement FTW.

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

It's not repetition, it's reinforcement :D

Thanks!

I have *no* idea how I missed this (damn my notifications, e-mail, LJ or all three) but this is FANTASTIC and so, so, very RIGHT for House.

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

*checks* I think your notifications are playing up cos I definitely put it in a comment :)

Thanks! Glad you like them :D

[fandom-me.livejournal.com]

Yep, I found the comment in the original thread and followed it.

I love House. I LOVE House. You hit smack down hard on exactly how I see him and that made me bounce and glee and squee.
