Sequel to 'Going Once, Going Twice.' House kicks himself for missing his chance with Cuddy especially when another man takes interest in her. Featuring Jealous!House, the PI and the meddling of Wilson and Gladys. Fun fluff. Takes place in S5.

1. Preface

Dweller on the Threshold

I'm a dweller on the threshold

And I'm waiting at the door

And I'm standing in the darkness

I don't want to wait no more

Author's Note

This story is a continuation of my previous fic, "Going Once, Going Twice." You don't have to read it to read this one, but this fic will probably make a lot more sense if you do. It also features a very minor spoiler for Season 5, but if you've seen the extended promo then you'll be fine.

A quick note about the story/chapter title(s)-- I'm a big fan of Van Morrison. I know not everyone is (although most people I know love 'Brown Eyed Girl' even if they've never heard another one of his songs). I know Laurie likes him and I'm pretty sure that House would, too-- Van writes his music and plays several instruments (alto/tenor sax, guitar, keyboards, drums, even the ukulele) just like the doc does. Each chapter is directly inspired in part by the lyrics/music of the particular Morrison song it is named after. Really, the songs kind serve as my mood music as I write the chapter, but knowledge of them is in no way necessary to enjoy/read the story. That said, I always suggest a little Van (even if he does love to use back-up singers), so if you're interested you should check his music that you might not have heard. I hope those of you who do like him will get a kick out of the use of the songs and those who don't won't be bothered by the use.

Cheers and thanks for reading!
