Since it's been a number of months (and because I just finished a song rework that was being uncooperative), I thought I ought to post again.  I hope to have more time for fandom again after the holiday season, but in the meantime, please enjoy the song rework and three short poems.

First, the song rework.  Call this "Nobody's Fault" in a not-quite-duet.
( "From a Distance" )

Next, House's perspective on the events of the episode.  This one is unusual for me: I write very few villanelles, since this particular French verse form is difficult to render well in English.  It's also in second person, which I hadn't experimented with before.  Still, I'm pleased with the result.
( "Parallels" )

Switching to Chase's perspective, this is a jump rope poem, set during his yet-unwritten rehab/recovery period.
( "Adapting" )

Finally, a triolet.  This is a form I learned relatively recently, but its circular structure seemed to suit the subject: Chase in early recovery, learning to manage a wheelchair.
( "Around Again" )

I wrote these months ago and never posted them, so I might as well rectify that.  (If you like them, please see the 'sonnets' tag for others.)

( 'Broken': House in Mayfield. )

( 'Lines in the Sand': House on Cameron's reasons for leaving Chase. )

( 'Kyrie Eleison': Chase and the church, post-Dibala. )

Title: Sonnet Redoublé: The Tyrant
Author: lit_luminary
Rating: PG for concepts.
Summary: Various perspectives on Chase's decision to kill Dibala and its aftermath.
Note: The sonnet redoublé is a highly structured form, consisting of fifteen sonnets.  The first fourteen form a corona (i.e., the last line of the first is the first line of the second, and so on until the loop closes), and the fifteenth comprises, in order, the fourteen linking lines.

The sequel to "Principles of Growth" is now tentatively titled "An Art of Balance," and has developed the majority of its plot (i.e., enough that I know more or less where it's going, but not so much that it can't surprise me in the middle).  I fully expect it to be as long as "Principles" and to demand as great a time commitment.

The sonnets that follow are under a cut, as they could be considered vaguely spoiler-ish—not enough to ruin the story for anyone, though.

( Thicker Than Water )

I love ruby_took's House/Wilson Werewolf Saga. This is a good thing, because I beta-read it. As with most things I love, however, I tend to generate an enormous amount of writing related to it.  I'll get all my companion-fics up someday; for now, here's the current compilation of sonnets and song reworks, organized by which of the Saga's stories they tie into.
