My good friend @socksual-innuendos has a ship I've been utterly obsessed with lately between House and her ghoul OC Camila. Rotating the blorbos as we do... thought what if we swapped their roles, if House became a ghoul, and Camila was one of his digitally uploaded personalities to keep him company...?
What kind of terrible codependent relationship would emerge? Could he let himself believe for too long she's really still here and not just a digital Narcissus's pool for him to stare into? He could get lonely... he still needs someone to tell him what smart, pretty boy he is lol. She's integrated into the 38's software, and he's responsible for maintaining all the infrastructure and hardware, so they grow around each other like intertwined tumors until removing one would kill the other.
Just found the possibilities interesting, and sketched up some ideas. Thanks again Socks for letting me cook with your girl hehe.
