Big Bang Fic: Time Marches On

Title: Time Marches On
Author: Namaste
Rating: Gen, PG
Length: About 23,500 words
Spoilers: Through "Don't Ever Change," fourth season.
Author's Note: Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] pwcorgigirl, [livejournal.com profile] silja_b and [livejournal.com profile] topaz_eyes for beta and feedback duties.
Summary: House once called change one of the greatest tragedies in life. His teams -- the old one and the newbies -- are learning this even as House himself continues to deal with things he can change, and things he cannot. Casefic with multiple POVs -- each chapter is a different POV -- written for the Big Bang Challenge.
Excerpt: House turned to look back at her, his head slightly cocked to one side. Cameron tried to hold back her smile. She'd missed this moment--that split second when she'd see that she'd gotten his attention, when she could sense his mind coming alive to every possibility, see the light in his eyes change from some faint reflection dimmed by drugs and pain to become something brighter, something that flickered and became stronger with each new clue, something that she'd only sense for a half of a breath before he'd turn away and hide it again.

Find it here at the Big Bang archive site. I'll also archive the fic here, at some point.

Hi,

I'm really looking forward to reading this fic, but before I start it, could you possibly reassure me whether it has a happy ending or not (for House and Chase, at least, if not anyone else)? The summary at the archive was a bit worrisome, and although your post here and glancing at the comments (trying not to do more than glance, in case of spoilers *g*) have reassured me somewhat, I'd still appreciate knowing for sure. If it is indeed a tragedy... or at least moderately angstful, well, it won't stop me from reading it. But at least I'll know to save it for a time when I can afford to be tear-jerking all day. :-)

Nope. No tragedies. The quote from House I used was from "The Honeymoon," when House was talking to Stacy about how tragic it is that things keep changing, so it's "tragedy" in the human sense, not in the angst sense.
