Praise and amusement from the queen of meta-fic! I bow down humbly before thee. Heh. Glad you liked all the little asides.
H/W will work its way into just about everything, won't it. Even gen.
The way a sestina works is you assign each of your six end-words a letter or number in the first stanza and then rearrange them in a set pattern for the remaining stanzas. So in this case Chase would be A, House B, and so forth down to E for Wilson. In a standard sestina you have the option of concluding with the end words A-C-E (Chase, Foreman, Cuddy) or E-C-A. Since this turned into a day-in-the-life and I'd started with Chase, I thought it would be appropriate to go with E-C-A and end with him as well. After all, from his perspective, he's there before each crazy day starts and he's there after it ends.
