My Son, You Sleep in Clouds of FireBy AngelfirenzeDisclaimer: See part I for the more salient points, but add movies and books to the list behind television shows. The chapter title here comes from 'Pieces' by Sum 41. I should probably let people who've never before read my work know that I like to keep the majority of the lyrics I use a secret. It tends to turn into a guessing game, which is always fun.

Summary: This cancer of the soul was hereditary, he fully believed--why shouldn't he with the blatant evidence having been shoved in his face for innumerable decades, and if he could inoculate this...God, this innocent, bright soul that he has no idea how the hell could come from something so tainted and putrid as he who should have been recalled while there had still been a chance...
Notes: In my own personal canon for Dr. Gregory House, his birthday is the 21 December date we were given in early season one. Also, Blythe is descended from a family of Reconstructionist Jewish converts. John House is a Vatican I Roman Catholic. I will expound upon those and other details about my designs for their backgrounds and families throughout the course of this story. I suppose the main theme of this series would be 'family', if I had to give it one.
Also, given my disclaimer for part one, I should add that when I said this may turn into what could be called 'ominous crack', it's because there are individual characters and/or groups of characters (i.e. the Day family from 'The Days') from other fandoms whom I think House, himself, would find common ground for whatever reason.
It's just because there are so many of them. I also have little nuances that I've explored in other Housefics that I may (read: probably will) mention here, like I've done before. There haven't been any complaints so far.
