Hacy

Hacy is the het ship between Gregory House and Stacy Warner from the House M.D. fandom.

Season 1
THREE STORIES

Stacy walks into Princeton-Plainsboro looking for House. She runs into him as he's walking through the clinic and asks him to look at her new husband's file. He asks about her new marriage and how she was, then looked at her husband's file and shrugged it off. He said that it was nothing, but she kept insisting that there was a deeper issue.

Substitute teaching for a class on diagnostics at the hospital lecture hall, House ends up telling the story of how his infarction happened. In a flashback to years before, Stacy and House are still dating and she acts as his medical proxy as a result. House is told by Cuddy that the infarction will require an amputation of his leg, but House refuses and instead asks for a bypass to restore circulation to the leg on the off-chance that the blood will flush the blockage and restore full function. House, Cuddy, and Stacy fight on amputation versus bypass before House overpowers them and gets the bypass. However, the bypass causes extreme pain and doesn't end up working how House anticipates. He goes into wide complex tachycardia and is technically dead for over a minute. After he is brought back, the pain is still present and Stacy tries to push for him to accept the amputation, which he still refuses, claiming his idea still could work, he just needs more time. Stacy and House then have a heart-to-heart about why House refuses to treat himself like he treats his patients. House then asks Stacy to tell the doctors to put him in a coma to keep him from experiencing the worst of the pain. Cuddy agrees to it, and Stacy then asks if it's true that House's coma will mean that Stacy can be in charge of House's medical care. After House is in the coma, Stacy tells Cuddy to do a middle-ground operation where surgeons take out the dead muscle from his leg to avoid amputation while still helping the pain.

After ending the class, House calls Stacy and asks her to bring her husband and his file back in for him to look at.

HONEYMOON

Stacy and House meet for dinner, where it's revealed the dinner date is a plan to get Stacy's new husband Mark to meet House because he previously cancelled two different exams and he thinks he's just meeting Stacy for dinner. Stacy tells House that it's because he's scared of him, and that even this sudden onset fear is potentially a new symptom. As House is about to leave, Stacy's husband appears and the two start to argue passive aggressively. It ends in them testing who can chug their glass of beer the quickest. House wins, and as it turns out, House also dosed Mark's glass of beer to make him pass out to take him to the hospital. When talking to House, Wilson says that House needs to treat Mark just like every other patient and not try to focus too hard on Mark's case just to win Stacy back.

While Mark is in exploratory surgery, House finds Stacy working on case work in the waiting area and brings her coffee. House remembers her coffee order, but she said it's changed a bit since they were together. House sits next to her and she tells him that some people would be annoyed by him tapping his cane. He then launches into a hypothesis on why people sit in waiting areas for a sick or injured person, and Stacy quips back on his reasoning. He asks if she's having any affairs, ensuring that it's a medical question. She's offended at his assumption that a positive answer to the question would be justifying Mark's symptom of paranoia. She also notices that if it were a purely medical question, he wouldn't have come to ask her himself and he would have sent one of his fellows. She says that she hasn't been having an affair just as Foreman comes out to tell her that Mark is in recovery and she can see him.

Reviewing the footage of the surgery for hours, House finally finds that Mark is suffering from abdominal epilepsy, a symptom of a neurological condition. When House asks Foreman and Chase to search their home, Cameron accuses House of only wanting to search the home to spy on Stacy's life, which he denies. Stacy finds Cameron in the lab, and the two talk about House's behavior and attitude before the infarction, because Cameron is romantically interested in House. Stacy assures Cameron that he was the same before his leg as he is now.

House sits in on Mark's PET scan with Foreman and begins annoying him with questions about his and Stacy's marriage and honeymoon. His answers end up irritating House and he leaves to sit on the roof of the hospital in the evening. Stacy finds him up there because he used to spend his time there when they were dating and starts yelling at him for making Mark more paranoid after his line of questioning. After a beat, House reveals that he still doesn't know what's wrong with Mark and him and Stacy embrace.

House gestures outside of Mark's room for Stacy to talk and the situation sends Mark into a panic attack. House then asks Stacy about her friends, because he hasn't seen anyone around and he doesn't recognize anyone on the cards and gifts. He believes that the reason for that is that she didn't tell anyone that she was going to Princeton-Plainsboro for Mark's treatment, still clinging desperately onto the idea that Stacy is looking to ditch Mark to get back with House. Upset at the idea, Stacy tells House that he should stay away from her.

Later, at a bar, House calls Wilson over to join him. When he arrives, House tells him that the newest treatment for Mark isn't working. When Wilson apologizes, House says that he was actually happy for a bit, because part of him wants Mark to die so that either he can be with Stacy instead, or just to see her suffer. When House talks to Stacy the next day to clear the air and say that they're a good couple together, House finds that one of Mark's answers from his PET scan grilling was a lie, revealing a new symptom that leads to House solving the case, successfully diagnosing Mark with Acute Intermittent Porphyria. Once the case is solved, House watches from afar as Stacy and Mark lay together in his hospital bed.

Afterward, Stacy comes in to visit House in his office to thank him and tell him that she's still not over him like he hoped, but that she can't be with him. She gives him a last kiss on the cheek before leaving his office. On his way out of the hospital, Cuddy stops him to tell him that Mark will need extended treatment at the hospital, meaning that Stacy will be hired on as the hospital lawyer.

Season 2
ACCEPTANCE

House barges into Cuddy's office as her and Stacy are talking. Stacy leaves quickly realizing that House wants to speak to Cuddy alone, despite Cuddy telling her that she can handle being in the same room. Cuddy insists that House should have said something before Stacy was hired if he was uncomfortable.

While transferring the Death Row inmate from his cell to the hospital, House has Stacy write up a court order to move the patient. Upon the patient's arrival to the hospital, it's revealed that House lied about clearing the need for the court order with Cuddy and Stacy was completely unaware. House asks Stacy how it was possible for her to not know when he's lying after how long they've known each other. Later, while eating lunch in a patient's room, Wilson talks to House about the idea of needing Stacy to trust him so that they can work together successfully.

Stacy sees House walking into the hospital in the morning with a hangover after drinking with his patient to reverse him trying to poison himself and yells good morning at him. She mentions that House was always a lightweight when it came to drinking, and she tells House that she wants to cause him pain when he asks why she's speaking to him in the first place. Stacy asks if House is sending the patient back to Death Row because he possibly cured him, and before he lets the elevator door close on her, he asks if he can trust her. She says that he used to, and then he tells her that he doesn't think the patient is really cured and he's keeping him at the hospital. He then offers her the idea of either keeping Cuddy informed as part of her job or not keeping her informed to help House with his potential theory by buying him time with the patient.

Cuddy comes into House's office shortly after and reveals that Stacy chose her allegiance to the hospital over helping House, but as the patient is ready to leave, he begins excreting blood. Stacy comes into House's office and apologizes, saying she had to choose the hospital over him. House then compares her to Hitler and Pol Pot, telling her that he trusted her. She says she knows, and then House says that Wilson is an idiot and so is he. Their discussion leads to House having one of his "a-ha" moments and solving the case.

HUMPTY DUMPTY

Cuddy's judgement is clouded when the patient House is tasked with treating is one of her landscapers and hired helper for repairs around her home and she thinks she may have caused his injuries by making him work when he was feeling sick. After suggesting a radical treatment for the patient's sepsis, Cuddy confronts Stacy and Stacy says that the idea sounds like exactly something House would do. Cuddy confides in Stacy in the remarks House made, all of which Stacy claims sounds just like him.

As House walks by Wilson and Stacy with Foreman and Chase on his way to break into Cuddy's house, Stacy asks Wilson where they're going. Wilson tries to avoid the question but Stacy sees through it and Wilson folds, telling her the truth. When she keeps asking questions, Wilson asks why she's so interested in what House is doing. He then infers that she's interested in Cuddy and House because she's married to Mark but House and Cuddy are both single and work together. Stacy assures Wilson that she's just curious, and Wilson begrudgingly agrees to that idea.

Stacy finds House hiding out in a patient room in the clinic to ask how Cuddy is handling the case. House replies that she's not acting like herself and Stacy tries to make House care about Cuddy's feelings, which doesn't work. Stacy tells House to take it easy on Cuddy and he neither agrees nor disagrees.

Cuddy and House argue about whether or not to cut the patient's hand off to Stacy, who is in the middle of something and tells them to give her half an hour. After arguing about it in the hall, they return to her and House accuses Stacy of favoring Cuddy just because she doesn't want House to be right. After an argument, House is allowed to amputate and Cuddy speaks to the patient.

SPIN

Stacy bursts into House's office demanding to talk about renewing House's credentials. House states that their relationship was better when they were sleeping together. Cuddy interrupts them talking to say that she has a patient for House, and House asks Cuddy to fire Stacy because she's keeping him accountable for his paperwork.

As Wilson and House are eating lunch together in the hospital dining hall, Stacy comes in pushing Mark in his wheelchair. Wilson jokes that they only look happy together because they wanted House to see them. House then says that it's possible, considering she was upset with House hours ago. Wilson jokes that there was no other reason she would be happy with her husband and unhappy with House. Mark and Stacy roll up to Wilson and House's table and Mark and House start to argue over Stacy before Stacy pulls them apart by moving on in the dining hall to look for a table. House asks why Mark is even there, and Wilson tells him that Mark is in group therapy for people with disabilities.

Stacy walks in on House examining a patient in the clinic to hit him and yell at him for interrupting Mark's group therapy session to mess with him. Stacy accuses him of doing this just because he wants to get back together with her, which he denies, countering with the idea that he feels he can't do his job without her interrupting him all the time. She leaves upset, and the patient asks if House really used to sleep with Stacy. Shortly after, she comes back in to yell at him for not understanding Mark's struggles as a fellow disabled person.

Stacy and Cuddy tell House that someone around the case has leaked a false story that the famous patient has cancer. Stacy tells the team that she'll be sitting in on them until she finds out who leaked the story, and House complains that he will be unable to practice medicine with a lawyer present.

House comes into Stacy's office as she's packing up to apologize for "punishing" her. He asks honestly if she hates him or loves him so that they can work together better. She says that she both hates and loves him, but she doesn't hate Mark. She says that working together will get easier, just because her therapist tells her that. House then takes that to break into Stacy's therapist's office and make copies of the files.
