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
pwcorgigirl,
silja_b and
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.

Date: 2008-03-30 06:28 pm (UTC)I don’t feel like I know the new fellows all that well so I wasn’t sure if I would like a fic from each of their POVs. I had the strongest reaction to Taub because you managed to weave what we know about his back-story in a fascinating way. It impacted to how sees others and his approach to medicine. I have no medicine expertise but you seem to have a great understanding and made it very believable. I am trying to like Thirteen but she does nothing for me. You seemed to understand her character well; she just bores me.
I kind of had to grit my teeth through the Foreman POV because he’s in such an angry stage at this time in his life that anything and everything is negative. I loved the idea that he could have gotten a job somewhere else if he was willing to not be in charge of a team.
This fic really felt like I was watching an episode. You had the main POV with an interesting and puzzling medical dilemma, an odd secondary story with House playing interior decorator, little glimpses into the lives of the new fellows, and wonderful moments with House and Wilson. Wilson being the only one who is allowed to see him hurt. Wonderful job!

Not only does he have to put up with crap from House on the series, here I needed him to serve to plot transitioning us from the beginning stages of the story and the case to get us into surgery for Chase and take us further into House's office games. He has to carry a heavy load sometimes.
