Ride With Me (House/BtVS) PG

[mhalachai]

New OTP: House/Faith. Why? Because it's so very messed up. It's an attempt at writing, anyway.

title: Ride with Me
word count: 200

Note: I'm going to blame this prompt for the idea of Faith/House that's rampaging through my head like an ox in WalMart.

---

Faith walked down the path, putting one foot in front of the other. Everything hurt, but she wasn't staying in that damned hospital.

A noise sounded behind her. "Not going back," she called out.

The off-kilter footsteps came closer. "I'm not asking you to." The pause was almost scripted. "Even if it was monumentally stupid to check yourself out ."

"Bite me."

"Do you want a lift?"

She stopped. "What?"

The doctor, House she thought his name was, leaned on his cane and gave her that piercing gaze he'd perfected in the clinic. "A lift. To wherever you were going, at the speed of magma."

She turned around. "Why?"

"Why not?"

"I asked first, Quimby,"

The corner of his mouth quirked up, his eyes flickering to the side, then back to her face. Not her breast or her ass, she noted. "You intrigue me," he said, biting out each word.

"So you want to give me a... ride."

"Yup." Not so much as a blink.

"Huh." Faith gave him the once-over. Not bad, for an older guy. "How about the bus station?"

He smiled, as if she'd said something totally different. "My bike's this way."

Faith raised an eyebrow. "Bike?"

Actually, I think a Faith/House pairing would work really well. Neither of them are very impressed with the honesty of the people around them.

Neither of them are very impressed with the honesty of the people around them.
And they're both blunt, rude, impatient, convinced they know what's best... all lovely qualities in a couple :D

[draconin.livejournal.com]

I agree totally. They would either be fantastic together or kill each other.

[goldenrat84.livejournal.com]

They'll probably have a fantastic time trying to kill each other.

[draconin.livejournal.com]

It's interesting. I don't think I've ever seen an example of this pairing and yet, now that you've brought it up, it just jumps out as full of potential.

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

It does, doesn't it? They're both so... well, similiar.

This pairing is eating my brain. Whichis good and bad, of course :)

[draconin.livejournal.com]

Well, yes and no. They're the same in that the outward personality is agressive (particularly through humour), bitingly honest to the point of pain and unforgiving of others (and themselves). However, the source of that is totally different. House's is through arrogance and self-confidence in his intellectual superiority and abilities plus contempt for the ignorant. Faith's, on the other hand, is through internal pain, guilt, *lack* of confidence and fear of betrayal.

I can see House being fascinated by her agressive sexuality and insults, taking her into his life in the belief that he can fix her and having the tables turned by her turning out to be who he needs to complete/mellow his personality.

Oh gods... *holds out arm* Please, sir, can I have some more? The first hit was delicious! :)

Hee. I know exactly how you feel. This is a lovely, dysfuntional pairing :D

[cissasghost.livejournal.com]

. .. Faith/House.


*dies of the OMG-so-wrong-gimme-more-NOW awesomeness*

I mean, seriously, you've got the part where they're both total headcases, and the age gap, and mutual sarcasm and . . . and . . you're gonna write more in this pairing, right?? Right?!?

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

Yeah, they're all kinds of bad. But so, sooo good. Now I'm going to have to write these two to get this idea out of my system. Dynsfunction junction :D


Well, anything to get back in the game, right?

[cissasghost.livejournal.com]

That works for me. ;)

[penyn-1600.livejournal.com]

Hee! Faith and House together in one fic! Their both so snarky, it's great.

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

They are great... now even greater together! Like chocolate-coated Vicodin and peanut butter.

[houses7177.livejournal.com]

The level of deliciousness has reached the speed of plaid.

Heh.

I love it, in all it's snarky glory. What an intriguing pairing!

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

You made me snort coffee up my nose when I read the "speed of plaid" comment. I approve.

And this pairing... well, it's a bad idea but I do love them so :D

[rose1thorn.livejournal.com]

This really works! I want to see more, please!

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you liked it :) I might do more on these two... they're just so fun.

[ansku]

Great :)

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

Glad you liked :)

[articulatedream.livejournal.com]

zomg. I think you may have just sucked me into this pairing.

*headdesk*

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

I am the win! Faith makes everything great, I will admit :D

[dotty8608.livejournal.com]

So wrong and yet so very right...

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

but thankfully, it's more right than wrong. I do like the idea of these two :)

[dotty8608.livejournal.com]

Yup, definitely more right than wrong. Had a flash of potential conversation between the two of them, thought I'd share:
H: Medical history?
F: Uh, yeah. I was in a coma for a couple of months a few years back, nothin' serious.
H: *quirks eyebrow* Nothing serious?
F: Yeah, just a little stabbed-in-the-gut-and-fell-off-a-roof thing. No big.

[ithildyn.livejournal.com]

You made me believe! Do please carry on!

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

Excellent :) I'll see what I can do.

[autumnus]

hehehe... I like it. but now you HAVE to write a sequel to this :)


ps... on an unrelated not: what happened to Dawning Light? Will we see an update on it soon?

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

I'll see what I can do :)

Dawning Light... again, we'll see. Work has been busy beyond belief in recent... well, months. It's starting to slow down, though.

[empressvesica.livejournal.com]

Oh hooray!

You know I am all about any Faith pairing (just about) but these two...oh the possiblities for snarktastic fun and glaring. :D

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you liked it :) Of all the Buffy characters, Faith fits the best into the House world, for me. It must be the attitude.

[neviditelny.livejournal.com]

*snuggles and giggles*

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

Dude, is that an icon od Hugh Laurie trying to hide a teddy bear in his jacket? Weird.

[oportunemoments.livejournal.com]

The only thing crackier was this House/Dawn pairing... link-> http://www.tthfanfic.com/wholestory.php?no=10406

I dig Faith no matter what, and adding House just makes it that much more delicious :) Yay, ficlet

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

I love that story. It's actually what made me think about who I could pair House up with... and this was the result :D

[oportunemoments.livejournal.com]

That is at once crazy and awesome.

ps I love the new squid theme. I <3 squids ^_^

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

This is my new fave LJ theme. Who doesn't love violet squids?

[oportunemoments.livejournal.com]

boring people

[catherinecookmn.livejournal.com]

Fouse! Or Haith!

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

I like Haith!
