Summary: What might happen to the team without the presence of Cameron as their moral compass? An angsty take on their downward spiral precipitated by a case involving Taub's neighbor. A cautionary tale, taken from The Adventures of Gregory House by Dr. James Wilson

For years, as long as I've known him, I've followed House's cases, marveling over and over at the workings of his superior brain. But it wasn't until recently, as a way to avoid thinking about what I'd lost when Amber died, that I decided I wanted to record his cases for posterity, sort of Watson to his Holmes.

House and I were discussing Cuddy's latest outfit, a very demure shirtwaist dress with a high collar, very unusual for our boss (but of course, she HAD to open one button too many), when Chris Taub, one of House's staff, entered his office.

“House, I have a case for you,” the short doctor said.

“Not interested,” House said, dismissing him.

“But you haven't heard anything about it. How can you tell?” his slightly raspy voice demanded.

“Don't get me wrong, Taub, but if you're the one bringing the case to me, how interesting could it be?” House is almost a foot taller than the former plastic surgeon so when he stood over him, he could be very intimidating.

But Taub was used to House and wouldn't be denied. He went on. “Thirty-one year old woman, fell from a step on a ladder no more than four feet above the ground, but she's still unconscious four days later. There's no sign of any contusions.”

“See, I told you it wouldn't be interesting. She's got a concussion,” House stated as if that was that.

“The CT scan ruled out a concussion,” Taub persisted. “There's something else wrong, but the doctors at Princeton General refuse to look further. They're just waiting for her to wake up on her own.”

“And you care because?” House seemed more curious about Taub's interest than in the case itself.

Spoilers: All episodes up to and including S06E08 Teamwork
Summary: You knew from the start a relationship with her could only end in disaster. You've never been one for making good choices.
Excerpt:

“Race you to the car!” She laughs as she bounds away and you can’t help but share in her enthusiasm. It’s contagious, as any infectious disease guy could tell you, and even an old curmudgeon like yourself is not immune. A smile pulls at your lips as you take a moment to admire the curve of her ass encased in dark washed denim before following her at a fast walk, the closest you can manage to a run. Your legs are long, so it’s good enough, and you arrive at the car close behind her. Even the pain that rips through your thigh at the exertion isn’t enough to erase your rare good mood, and so you toss a couple of pills down your throat, hoping she doesn’t notice, as she searches through her purse for something. Surely she’d have something to say about mixing painkillers with the couple of beers you shared earlier.

But notice, she does not, and so you open the passenger door for her and then settle yourself behind the wheel.

You’re not ready for the night to end and so you drive around aimlessly for a time listening to her happy, tipsy chatter about the colourful trucks and the even more colourful people who were seated around you on the bleachers. Classic rock plays softly on the radio and you watch her from the corner of your eye while you drive. She looks so different in casual clothes. Not older exactly, but without the vivid contrast between her youthful appearance and her professional attire, the age difference seems less daunting and you feel attracted to her in the way of a normal red-blooded male, and not as a creepy old man.
