    Summary

    In the car, Mr. Healy clears his throat. "Okay."

    A study on birdsong and growing older. On parents and anger. On love and loss. On endings and beginnings. On Holly's three months of summer vacation and the family forming around her.

    I dig through House fandom, past and present, to help you learn about:

    - How and where House fans interact(ed) and collaborate(ed), 2004-present.

    - Where to find fanworks you might enjoy, especially if you're not as familiar with platforms that existed before AO3.

    Summary

    Stratt tasks Dr. Grace with studying Ken, a manufactured plastic life form, after the drama of the Hail Mary's launch.

    ***

    Stratt follows my gaze. "Dr. Grace, this is Ken. Ken, this is Dr. Grace. He will be working with you for the foreseeable future. Please remove your sunglasses."

    "Ken" raises his head but doesn't rise from his slouch. He lazily removes the chunky shades and tosses them away with a grin. He has a smaller pair underneath.

    "Remove *all* your sunglasses," Stratt barks.

    Ken scowls and takes off the remaining pair. I stagger backward in shock. "He's…it's…me!" Ken looks just like me—that is, if I'd spent all summer tanning at the beach and had my minimal fashion sense surgically removed.

    Summary

    “What are you talking about?” Grace's fingers played quick chords as he spoke. He didn’t even look as he did it, but it did not make them any less purposeful.

    “Discussing possible reasons why Tau Ceti is not infected while other stars are,” Eva replied deftly. “I would invite you to join, but we were just finishing—”

    “Oh, that’s easy.” His hand twisted a knob, and the notes came out sharper. “It is infected—Petrova Line and everything.”

    In Grace's opinion, dreaming about time traveling is no excuse for getting out of practice with his Eridian. To the rest of the Petrova Taskforce, it seems a bit odd that their resident Astrophage expert has suddenly taken to carrying a keyboard around and playing it whenever he speaks. Eva Stratt resolves to figure out what is going on.

    Summary

    An Eridian mining crew find a human welded into a stranded ship on the surface of a moon. They bring him back to Erid, to the only other human they know.

    Something in Grace's chest flickered into life. He had buried it so long ago that he hardly knew what it was anymore, and so he took off his glasses and cleaned them on the edge of his cardigan, as if Rocky's words were a smudge he could clear away before finding the will to hope.

    “Ah…” his words failed halfway out of his mouth. Rocky chittered at him, a little sound of encouragement. “There’s another human? Here. And… alive?”

    14 Historical Figures Who Were Probably Autistic (You Won’t Believe Number Twelve)

    I rubbed my eyes and laughed again, this time a little lighter. Yeah, no way.

    Or: Grace returns to Earth with an Eridian envoy, gets sucked into an internet rabbit hole, and discovers that he's become one of those scientists who everyone sort of just accepts was probably autistic.

    House lasts less than a week after the new fellows start working for him before his need to scheme takes over. He wakes up and goes about his morning routine as per usual when he finds himself unable to take his ring off. In the metaphorical way, obviously. He stands there, staring at his bastard of a husband blow-drying his hair through the mirror, and something in him just refuses to take it off.

    Summary

    When Wilson finds out House is gay, it sends him on a spiral. The fellows--Kutner, mostly--decide that whatever is going on, they need a little push, but their well-meaning meddling quickly spirals out of control. When Kutner's slight nudge starts dragging everyone into the deep end, lines quickly start blurring.

    Set some time mid-season 5, if my timing is correct. The most important information is Amber is out of the picture, Taub, Foreman, Kutner, and Thirteen are House's fellows, and Chase and Cameron are working in different departments at PPTH.
