I’ll start with general Favs - these were amongst the first fics I happened across in H/W fandom, and fell in love with immediately.
Of Night and Light and the Half-Light by
melodyclarkNC-17. H/W slash. House finds out a secret and Wilson tries to hide.
Phone Tag and
And Rock and Roll by
tasha_elizabeth NC-17. Both H/W slash. 1) A look a the H/W relationship told through a collection of phone calls - that last of which broke my heart. 2) Wilson sees something unexpected, gets stoned and laid.
And coz I loves me some Fluff
Worth a Thousand Words by
lilyleia78PG-R. H/W slash. Seriously giggly romance. Lots of AWWWWW
*****
Humour
On the Way by
deelaundryR. H/W established. H/W on honeymoon. This fic makes me smile from the first line - by the time I get to the end of it, my face hurts. Part of the series, which also includes the wonderful
Domestic.
Countersong by
yarrowayPG. The funniest House MD crack I’ve ever read. A parody poking fun at canon, fanon, clichés and bad writing.
Counter-Friend by
readingratPG. H/W friendship. Another wonderful parody, in which Wilson discovers that being a good friend can be remarkably liberating.
The Art of Proctology by
ticcyyy .
M. H/W slash. House bottoms for the first time. Kinda. Very, very funny. And oddly sweet.
Manly Love by BethTX (FF)
M. H/W friendship and slash. Fantastic banter.
An Extra Layer by
sassyjumperM. H/W slash. Wilson's sweater vest really revs House's engine. Hilarious. And hot as Hades.
Nice Day For A White Wedding by
cuddyclothesM. H/W slash. Wilson, always the groom, never the bride. Cracktastic.
*****
Sick Wilson
The Body Found by
fourteencandles R. H/W friendship/slash. Wilson goes missing - for a long time - and when he returns, nothing is the same.
Limericks by
alex51324(No rating, but PG13, maybe) H/W friendship/slash. Wilson finds a lump, looses a testicle and ponders a cactus.
Things That Go Bump by
peg22 R. H/W friendship/slash. Wilson is having nightmares. I adore this fic.
A Loss for Words by
barefootpuddlesPG. H/W established. Funny, dialogue only fic, in which Wilson loses his voice and allows House to speak for him.
Reboot by
srsly_yesR. H/W slash. House and Wilson have matching limps.
Man in the Mirror by
yarroway(No rating, but PG13, maybe) Lots of Wilsons reveal a lot about the one Wilson.
Accidental by
menolly_auPG13. H/W friendship. Wilson really doesn't mean to do it.
Sick House
Each to Each by
magie_05PG13. H/W established. Sometimes House is here and sometimes he isn’t. Just beautiful.
There are just two Death Fics. Both are cancer stories, both are wonderfully written, and both stayed with me for a long time afterwards. So far, I’ve never been able to read both of them in their entirety again.
Three Months by
flywoman PG13. H/W friendship, H/C undertones, lots of the Cottages.
All Good Things by
rubberbuttonR. H/W friendship, a little slash.
*****
At the risk of sounding offensive, these are what I would have thought of as unlikely, as in when I read each premise, I couldn't imagine how it might work. At yet each one did. Amazingly well. I really, really love these stories.
The Rampant Disease by
trieduntureNo rating - R, maybe. H/W friendship and slash. PPTH is over-run with zombies. For real. And I believed every word of it.
Going Quietly by
flywoman PG13. H/W friendship, H/C ship, W/C. A very unexpected pregnancy. A tragic outcome - for everyone. Wonderful.
Change Partners and Dance by
srsly_yesPG13. H/W friendship, H/C ship. Dark!House. When I read this I thought Jesus. Christ. And then I thought WOW.
Love is a Battlefield by
starlingthefoolR. H/W friendship and slash. House and Wilson and Karaoke.
*****
And because there has to be smut. But I'd argue with anybody who says these are without plot.
Anything by
magie_05, but if I have to choose just three, they'd be
Some Assembly Required,
Assurances, and
Queens. All H/W slash, all NC17.
No Takebacks by
missvioletH/W slash. NC17.
That Didn't Count by fifthofnovember (FF)
H/W slash. NC17
A Change of Space by
alternatealtoH/W slash. NC17
*****
And then there's just other great stuff.
Gumboots by
marginalianaNC17. H/W friendship and slash. Wilson gets a clue. Angsty and sweet.
Gothic Revival, or Nope, No Cure by
blackmare and
nightdog_barksR(?). H/W friendship/pre-slash. Wilson as Robert Smith is both a curse and a cure. One of my favourite favs.
The Riververse by
blackmare,
nightdog_barks,
pwcorgigirl, and
deelaundryPG. H/W friendship/slash. If Wilson wasn't already dying, House could have killed him.
Egg Stuffing: An Easter Story by
petitecuriosityPG. H/W friendship/pre-slash. Some of my most favourite banter, always makes me smile. Wilson is stuffing and House is annoying.
*****
Cross-Over
Precautionary Measures by
flywoman PG13. A House MD/Bones crossover, H/W friendship, H/C relationship, I don’t watch Bones - and I still loved it.
I should add that everything written by these authors is worth a read!
