Summary
Brad had considered about three different ways to respond (play along, flee, attack) but not done any of them before Jo had risen from her desk and bellowed, “It is NOT. Brad’s BIRTHDAY.”
Brad pressed his lips together but couldn’t altogether hide his smirk.
At least he had one person that he could—well, not rely on, that would be stupid. But he had one person.
The group from Mythic Quest – David, Ian, Poppy, a cake – stopped, slightly baffled.
Ian was the first to break, laughing, “Of course it is, David had it in his calendar.”

Summary
The eating thing wasn’t about work. Not anymore.
There had been a time, earlier in Brad’s career, where he’d realised stress at work had the side effect of making him lose weight.
But he’d got better at his job.
There had been a time, earlier in Brad’s relationship history, where he’d realised the stress of providing what the other person expected (the stress of knowing he would fail to provide whatever emotional support they needed) had the side effect of making him lose weight.
But he’d stopped seeking out that kind of relationship.

Brad's eating disorder gets better. Then it gets worse. Then maybe it will get better again. -

Summary
Daniel didn’t know the history of the bath, but he probably would someday.
One day, his curiosity would get the better of him and he’d go digging to find the fossilised pieces of Armand’s past and start putting them together like palaeontologists do with dinosaur bones. And like them he wouldn’t get it right first try but it’s not like he would stop trying.
And the narrative where Armand was upset by the bath made more sense.
The actual fact, that Armand was sure of, was that he could have gone through with the bath and given Daniel no clues at all about any of his prior experiences if Daniel hadn’t asked Armand to affirm that he wanted it.
That had been the distressing part.
*
OR: Daniel treats Armand nicely enough that Armand starts wondering if the way people treated him in the past wasn't good enough.

Summary
The thing about using the wheelchair was that House kind of wanted to use the wheelchair, not that he’d say it out loud.
Oh, yeah, it was fun, in the way that children understood wheelchairs and crutches are fun before adults shame them out of it.
It was an excuse to answer a bunch of questions he’d never had the opportunity to ask, let alone answer. What if he had let them take his leg? What if he’d let them take them both for shits and giggles? What if he conformed to the literal sticker symbol of disability? (What if he wasn’t forcing himself to use his leg past the point of pain every day?)
**
Wrote this because I needed to bully Wilson & Cuddy after their behaviour in 'Needle in a Haystack' - and also examine House's attitude to disability.

Summary
He was aware when he first told his life story to Louis that Louis would probably consider the way he talked about himself to be an affectation, a deliberate use of rhetoric and narrative technique.
It was just the most accurate way to describe it.
Arun (name uncertain) had experienced some things, Amadeo others. They had skills and wants.
And Armand ignored them, for the most part.
**
OR: Armand has dissociative identity disorder, doesn't know it's a thing anyone else experiences, tries to kind of hide it from Daniel, fails spectacularly.

Summary
He lays his head gently against the man’s shoulder, shuts his eyes, and pretends he’s being held. Pretends that the rocking motions are soothing instead of agony. Pretends the panting whispers in his ear are reassurances, instead of B-grade porn dialogue. Pretends that it’s Daniel inside of him.
The longer these men find their pleasure in him, the longer he can pretend that Daniel will ever hold him again.
The first man finishes. A new one takes his place behind him. More pain. More being held. The new man puts a hand on Armand’s stomach, comments something about feeling himself inside him.
It’s intimate, Armand tells himself. He’s cradling Armand so close.

daniel doesn’t feel like sex. armand jumps to some conclusions.

Summary
“I never saw the finished piece,” Armand says wistfully, “only the preparatory sketches.”
It’s mostly the surprise that knocks the laugh out of Daniel.
Armand twists to face him, face twisted into a wounded grimace.
“C’mon,” Daniel groans. “I mean, seriously? Michelangelo’s muse?”
“Don’t laugh,” Armand says quietly.
Daniel should stop. He knows he should stop, that he's pushing too far on buttons he knows he should leave well alone. But what was it Armand had said at the penthouse? It’s his nature. He can never resist throwing one more bomb.
or:
a museum date goes wrong.

Summary
"My first kill was...a long time ago. I was seventeen."
"Shit, you turned that young? You look like you're--"
"No." He doesn't want to hear about how old he looks. "This was ten years before that. I took my first life when I was still human."
