[stares into the distantly setting sun]

hi i'm helen slash tumblr user all-pacas (full title). i've been in fandom for a very long time and i use this tumblr mostly to completely detach from my life, which means that i really don't talk about / post or reblog anything that isn't fandom. i tend to hyperfocus fixate on one thing at a time, but my past fandoms remain in my heart forever. i have a Very Specific character type and this embarrasses me.

right now my fixation is House Medical Doctor. i don't know how either. i use 'malpractice posting' for your blocking needs!

i write fanfic. i love getting asks and answering asks and writing meta and writing fanfic on request; i get self validation from it so for real do not hesitate! i have two sideblogs: @some-pacas for fanfic and fanfic requests, and @none-pacas for my dabbles into gifs and image sets!

house md starts in fall 2004. the infarction was 5 years ago, so 1999. he and stacy tried to make things work for "months," so plausibly it was as late as 2000 that they broke up (depending on when the infarction happened).

house's fellowship program lasts 2-3 years (2 in s1, quietly retconned to 3 later on). we don't know exactly when he started the diagnostics department, but stacy at least is familiar with his "methods" in s1-2, so he probably had a team while they were still together. (imagine THOSE poor guys having to deal with THAT version of house.)

cameron, in honeymoon, is aware that house "used to live with" someone. she's pals with wilson, he could have told her, but...

the plot is basically, there's this guy, jan. he's stranded in space, alone. he has a quantum timeline machine. he needs help. so he is able to use that machine to clone himself. but not just himself: versions of himself.

you can read jan's life story: abusive dad, he ran off as a teen and found work, feels guilty about abandoning his mother. he was married; he got divorced. he's changed jobs a few times; drifted around a bit.

he goes into his timeline. he finds a version of himself, another jan, who instead confronted his father and stayed with his mother and became a mechanic. he clones that guy. now there are two jans.

there's a version of himself where he stayed in university and became a scientist. a version of himself that became a doctor. a version of himself that neither ran away or confronted his father and became a coal miner. a version where he didn't divorce his wife.

CHASE: The first time you slept with me was because you were on crystal meth. CAMERON: I was on the drugs because I was emotional. It was the emotions that led to the sex, not the drugs.
