Summary: That summer, Cameron tries to keep her choices straight. Why should she stay?
( Excerpt )

With a rich, unusual narrative style, fated_addiction has crafted a compelling account of Cameron's indecision during the summer between season three and season four. Cameron is torn between Chase, who wants to convince her that she is ready to move on--and specifically, move on with him--and House, whose strong, abiding pull hasn't faded simply because Cameron quit her fellowship. fated_addiction writes a believable and sympathetic characterization for Cameron, showing how she knows she ought to want to move on, but at the same time, how much she simply isn't ready to let go. There is a desperate languor to Cameron's actions that is strongest in the scene after she finally gives in to temptation. In how to skin your knees standing straight, fated_addiction has built a wonderful atmosphere of ambivalence, uncertainty, and, finally, acceptance.

I attempted to make a somewhat dreamy atmosphere without wanting to let go of the angst and making it completely feminine.
