My gosh - thank you so much! Second Best is the first HouseCuddy fic I wrote, so it holds a squishy little place in my heart. I'm so flattered to know you like it so much.
They complain about him and they hate him at times but he is such a towering figure in their lives, like you said, especially for Cuddy and Wilson. He makes them miserable and yet at the same time, doesn't. He fills a little space that would otherwise be empty.
Cuddy is (fairly obviously) my favorite character. Her guilt-complex, her loneliness, her determination and strength - how she's caught between wanting to make everything perfect, make her own life perfect and complete, and yet knowing that she can't. Knowing she has priorities that don't fit with the mold. Gah. I just adore her. ^^
*laughs* I hope you find some good insights this time around, too! :)
Thank you so much again for the review! You're really very sweet.
