Anotha one -- Hou/se, this time. Ftr, all my Hou/se fics are based on like... fanfiction’s interpretation of the characters JFDSKLF i watched the first season and just... got so much brain rot from the fanfic. So if there’s mischaracterization/some OOC stuff, that’s why. Wilson is... vaguely non-human here, hand-waved so I can stick all the stuff I want onto him. Here that includes a g/t size difference, purring, some empathic ability, which really only shows up towards the end. Word Count: 501 Fandom: Hou/se Tags: safe vore, soft vore, fluff, character study (does this count??), pred!Wilson, prey!House, brief descriptions/mentions of: past child abuse (physical, neglect), child death, cancer Summary: Wilson muses after House tries to cheer him up after a bad day.
Greg is a man of sharp edges, Wilson thinks. It's his armor: the cutting remarks, the bitterness, the misery. He's too used to being hurt, too jaded to think that there's anything but pain in his future -- so he moderates it. Keeps people away because the only thing that hurts worse than being alone is being abandoned. If he could, James would strangle John House. Because he conditioned it into Greg, the mistrust, the fear of intimacy. Drowned him in frostbiting waters, beat him raw, locked him outside in the cold and wet, all for acting like a child instead of a soldier. And Blythe... as much as he cares for her, and Greg loves her, she'd only worsened the issue. Ignoring it taught Greg that no one would care, that he was alone in his suffering. Between those two, it's a wonder Greg had any personal relationships at all, that he showed any vulnerability ever. And yet here he was, curled up in thie pit of James's stomach for no reason other than he'd thought James had had a bad day. To his credit, he did. He'd watched a mother take her young son off life support, and then a routine check up showed a father that his formerly dying cancer was suddenly far more aggressive and far more fatal. It left James feeling helpless -- for all that he could help, he still couldn't save everyone. He couldn't personally keep every one of his charges safe, and it hurt. He knows it shouldn't, that he's in oncology and that's what it means to be in the field, but he can't help it sometimes. Greg had seen that, the upset, and he'd wanted to help. In true Housian fashion, he hadn't said that -- no, he'd demanded to be put inside because he was cold (a lie that probably sounded flimsy even to himself). But the effect was the same: a belly full of someone James could protect. He kneads at the heavy weight in his gut, a low purr rolling through his throat. He can keep House safe like this, safe and warm. It's the control he hadn't realized he needed. The fullness soothes him, particularly since it's Greg. He can feel the human cuddled against his fingers, calm and snug and still. He knows it's a lot for him to give his autonomy like this, to make himself entirely reliant on the whims of others. Typically, he fights tooth and nail to stay out of James's stomach for that very reason. Typically. Other times... other times, times like this, it's the only form of comfort he can give. He knows the quiet, steady stream of warmsafecontent from the human’s mind while he’s inside relaxes James's nerves, soothes the part of him so hurt by his job. And he gives it up without prompting, and without hesitation. Because he cares. James smiles, soft and kind and loving. For all his sharp edges, he thinks, House is awfully soft inside. And frankly, he wouldn't have it any other way.

i really wanna watch s2 but is it That bad??? :((
ummm ok i'm gonna try and answer this as objectively as i can but it gets very very long so i’m putting this under a read more in case yall think i’m Whining
(ok it’s really long)
the one thing that makes me very sad about season 2 of sg is that, for me, it's lost the main feminist undertones™ that made me wanna watch it in the first place. (kinda comes with the loss of caIista fIockhart/cat grant, and the forcing of mon eI into the scene.)
james's character was almost completely binned.-- literally overnight from 1.20 to 2.01, kara, who'd spent the entirety of season one pining for him 'james is one of the most incredible people i've ever met. he makes me be a better superhero.' (paraphrased) immediately turns round and tells him that they're better off as friends, after one date (continuously interrupted by Crime™ which is ok??? that's what happens when you're secretly a superhero???) but she's literally... she was always smitten by him and i don't? know why they decided to get rid of a relationship built on so much respect and trust?
on the subject of james, i don't think their relationship would've worked out (purely because james has always been in the shadow, whether it's standing at sg's side or superman's, and as the season unveiled guardian, it kinda made sense tbh. but kara and james had so much chemistry which was immediately trampled all over with the arrival of mon eI.)
kara's relationship with mon eI has hindered a lot of her character growth, which is very sad. especially as the show is literally... about her... she's the titular protagonist... if anything, a character should allow her to grow (even negatively. for example, max Iord. even then, max Iord's character was a device for baby superhero kara to understand that she can't decide who lives and dies.)
the writers handle a lot of scenarios quite poorly. for example, winn gets a girlfriend, Iyra. she's an alien refugee from starhaven and most likely has ptsd from the treatment she suffered. she had an anger outburst, and the writers tried to ??? make it funny??? like it was a comedic moment??? smashing beer bottles and yelling at winn (who, remember, was raised by a serial killer...buddy) and i think it's important to highlight mental illness, but it was so calloused??? the writing was so poor here and let down her character.
with a lot of scenes, and a lot of episodes, i've felt as though the writers have thought of a Really Cool Plot (for example, alex being kidnapped because someone figured out who sg is and therefore that she was her sister. having maggie and kara working together, when they've butted heads before, to save the person that they care about the most. that's a sick idea. i like that.) but they change the characters in order to service the plot. for example, kara relying on her muscle and powers to save alex, and having to be taught that she has to use her words sometimes by maggie. this is by no means anti-maggie. this is the writers forgetting the copious sg speeches™ that kara's delivered throughout the series about hope and humanity and how we can be better. to me, it's just... lazy. it’s lazy writing.
mon eI is a problem for me. that's it. that's the bullet-point.
(ok no. mon eI is a problem for me because the writers wrote kara rejecting his advances MULTIPLE times throughout the first half of the season, only to turn around and be like 'actually maybe i can have it all' and suddenly falling for him in like 2 episodes? he personally embodies a lot of traits i don't like in general so. douchebag mcgee)
all female characters' screentime has cut in half. even kara's. what are you doing with this extra screentime what is going on why is this happening
SO ! MUCH ! HAPPENS ! sooooo much. so much. it's so rushed. the plots are cool, but there are so many of them. they're like - piling every single cliche and every single possible story arc into thie season, and it's just... a lot. this leaves a lot of the other arcs rushed and unfulfilled, and it's kinda like ... weird... for example, jeremiah comes back and kara and alex butt heads because he's a cadmus operative, and there were some really quite nasty things said by both of them (for example, it became a kind of blood vs adoptive family thing and that...yikes. i feel for both of them.) this was not resolved. this was not spoken about. the danvers sisters did not talk about this. the danvers sisters, who talk about everything, who talk about homeland theories and what they're going to have for dinner, and probably kara asking alex stupid shit like 'why have i never seen a baby pigeon', did not talk about a possible schism in their family.
for every 10 minutes of screentime kara/mel gets, san/vers gets 30 seconds. i adore alex's coming out arc. and i adore her relationship with maggie. i really do. however, to me, it feels like the writers are  like 'haha, see, we've got a canon wlw relationship... as long as we give them 0.2 seconds every 5 episodes, all is well. we're progressive. we appeal to the lgbt community.' and from what i've seen, the audience is largely lgbt. (hey, it's rare to find canon f/f pairings that don’t die so when you do, boy you jump on that.) i would love to see more maggie/alex i love them:/
the writers have been pushing the fact that romantic love > familial love since the start of the season and it's a useless rhetoric which i don't need to see lol
tl;dr: a lot of the characters are ooc, mon eI is a problem, and the core of the show has been lost.
butttttttt i'm gonna give you some actual good things which happen in season two.
Iena Iuthor, love of my life, light of my world. possibly one of the only saving graces for the season for me. a Good depiction of a woman in science, a ceo, and overcoming previous stereotypes and crawling out of the shadow of her family. i love her and she deserves better than everything this show's thrown at her
san/vers... my daughters... making alex a lesbian was the best decision season 2 made. one of the worst is not developing maggie beyond 'she's alex's girlfriend, she has trust issues, and is a lesbian cop with a traumatic past'. 
superman being present when kara is able to actually step out of his shadow. cIark also beginning to understand and appreciate kara's feelings on the matter. 
james stepping out as guardian!!! my boy!!! please devote more time to my beautiful boy because he didn't get nearly enough screentime as he deserved. actually, he pretty much disappeared for most of it.
                        honestly if you want to watch it, then watch it. what i say isn't gonna change that, and it's not gonna change what happened. maybe i'm just bitter and cynical and maybe it's not actually that bad i really don’t know anymore
