Title: Measured violence and tenderness
Author: Emily’s List
Pairing: House/Wilson, House/Cuddy
Rating: Explicit
Summary: An invisible and metaphorical Venn diagram pulls House and Wilson in painful and new directions. WARNING: There is semi-graphic heterosexual sex right off the bat, enough to take your eye out. If this type of content is objectionable because you like your porn as gay as “Glee,” please exit immediately. If you can stomach it for the reward of boy-on-boy action, please hang on tight and click through.
Disclaimer: Any characters recognizable from House do not belong to me, and do belong to David Shore, Fox, et al. I am merely borrowing them for a spell. Title comes from Michael Chabon’s Manhood for Amateurs. Gates of Repentance is a prayer book used in reform synagogues during the high holidays and I used it liberally to shape one section. Text is quoted as appropriate.
A giant-sized THANK YOU to petrichor_fizz for being generally awesome. Oh, yes, and for beta reading this story :) I swear - I cannot imagine not having her beta guidance prior to posting...

I think you meant Queer As Folk.

Glee isn't that "gay"—Kurt hasn't made out with any guys yet (and the rumored to-be-boyfriend is nowhere in sight).

Well, what I meant to be was cheeky - maybe I didn't quite pull it off!

And, not that you meant to prompt this, but I'm avoiding going to the gym right now, so: I think Glee is one of the gayest things I have ever seen. I've been out for ten years and have consumed more gay media than anyone should (including both versions of Queer as Folk, which are wonderful in their own ways). It's not just Kurt making out with another dude that would make the show gay. From the out and amazing Jane Lynch to the out and fabulous Chris Colfer, to all the gay icons honored (Gaga, Madonna, soon Britney, I'm blanking but there are more), to all the SHOW TUNES... I could go on, and on, and on. Of course by "gay" I mean stereotypically gay. Gay man gay, at that.

If I had written a fic about Thirteen and Amber, I would've called it as lesbian as "Rizzoli & Isles" :)

All of this to say, thanks for the comment! And I hope you'll check out my fic too!

Which QaF did you prefer (the U.S one or the UK aka the original)? I'm not sure which one I should watch first/

Oh and I forgot to mention (regarding Glee): Britney and Santana (so yeah I take back my "Glee is not really gay" comment).

If I had written a fic about Thirteen and Amber, I would've called it as lesbian as "Rizzoli & Isles" :)

:)

It's funny that you mention Rizzoli & Isles because the show has its own Tropes page now (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RizzoliAndIsles)

I'll definitely check out your fic.

I definitely prefer the US version - though I appreciate the bleakness of the UK version; it's much more raw. If you are only going to watch one, I'd say go with Queer as Folk US. If you're into sequencing, start with the UK version.

I LOVE Britana - or whatever the kids are calling it. http://fuckyeahbrittany-santana.tumblr.com/

I am only learning of Tropes right now this second! Fab. Thanks for sharing!
