Length: 32 000 words
Spoilers: AU.
Summary: In 1942, the world is at war and House has nothing left.
Excerpt:

It was cold. His body was shaking and he was having trouble moving. The air was too thick and the silence was oppressive. He was balancing precariously on a duckboard over a wide pool of mud. He knew that if he fell, that would be it. He'd seen men and even horses disappear into these endless pools of slush and no one ever got pulled out again. Even if someone were quick enough to throw you something to hold on to, the weight of your clothes and equipment would drag you down, the earth welcoming you into its embrace. The duckboards weren't wide enough and they were too slippery for any sort of rescue effort to have a chance at success. Most men simply watched sadly as their fellow soldier drowned quickly. House knew that the mud wanted him, like it was a living thing capable of such desires. He could feel it somehow. So he was careful, making sure that his foot was safely in the middle of each wooden plank before he took a step. He didn't want to be here, had fought so hard to stay away and there was no way in hell he was going to die in this cesspool. He would make it. His breathing sounded harsh in his ears, the only sound at all.

Spoilers: Broken, Teamwork, and possibly other eps of season six, with references to previous seasons as well.
Summary: It's not just the broken down house that needs fixing. It's the two people sharing it. And maybe, by working together to fix up the old house, they can fix themselves as well.
Excerpt:

Her house is a one story ranch with a wide front porch that stretches across the entire structure. The sagging steps and mismatched columns are weather beaten and the shutters hang from the windows like droopy eyelids. The paint, a shade of eggplant that is far less garish than it would seem, is peeling away from the house in papery wisps. To the casual eye, the house is cold and unfeeling, ravaged by time and the elements, but Cameron looks deeper and sees the heart and soul beneath the harsh exterior and she knows in an instant that she's found home.

House has very few regrets, but this... this unintended consequence of his meddling is one of them. Chase should be the one leaving, not Cameron. There is a big part of him that wants to set things right, make her come back. But the little voice in his head that now sounds suspiciously like Dr. Nolan, tells him he's already meddled enough, that he should apologize and move on instead of trying to fix things. That doesn't mean he can't make Chase's life more miserable though. On the other hand, she's gone. How much worse can he make things? He doesn't even know where she's gone and the not knowing bugs him more than anything. She's the itch that never got scratched; the one that got away. A wisp of cobweb stuck to his psyche. She's unfinished business-- his not quite lover.
