Hydrotherapy by Michelle Christian

House/Wilson slash

House/Wilson and a hot tub - what more could you want? Well how about brilliant characterisation and the sort of story that leaves you with a slight warm and fuzzy glow? Huge fun.

And Lo He Has Not Fallen But Leapt by Gena

House/Wilson friendship AU

Odd one this which has Wilson as an angel coming to guide a dying post infarction House to heaven. Normally I steer well clear of AU stories but this one is clever, sweet and works the alternate reality meeting into the universe of the show very well.

Pathogenesis and Intervention by Shalott

House/Wilson slash

House/Wlson slash set against the background of a smallpox epidimic. The medical elements are dealt with impressively and House/Wilson are as ever perfectly characterised by this talented author. Reads like a typical House episode - if it were broadcast on HBO!

Under His Skin by Cryptictac

House/Wilson slash

Short and very sad pwp written from Wilson's point of view which has Wilson and House involved in a physical but empty relationship. Whilst I normally love happy endings I can somehow see this take on their relationship as far more realistic than the average House/Wilson fluff fest.

Recklessness and Water by Hannah R. Orlove

House/Wilson slash (mild)

Beautifully written, almost ethereal story told entirely from Wilson's point of view. Reflective, haunting and highly recommended.


Sleeping Beauty by Naja Melanoleuca

Gen Chase centric

Like the previously recommended The Quality of Mercy Sleeping Beauty is another Chase centric story dealing with the slow process of repairing House and Chase's friendship following the Vogler incident.

A multi chapter story this is quite a slog but well worth sticking with. Chase is brilliantly and compellingly portrayed and his background fleshed out in a way which you know it never will be on the show. Cameron, Foreman and Wilson all come across very well and House (for the most part) remains in character - no easy feat in a story this long. There are nitpicks - the original female character grates as all OFC's invariably do - she's also far too heavily featured in the later chapters for my liking and slows the pace of the story, Chase's vernacular seems to be all over the place (if the author is indeed an Aussie I will apologise unreservedly but as it is I felt that some of the slang was out of place) and I never saw Rowan Chase as any where near as brutally cold as he is portrayed here (although that could be my love of Patrick Bachau talking). Still an enjoyable story which is recommended reading if you are a big Chase fan.

Transposition by Pocky Slash

Wilson/Chase, Wilson/Foreman, Wilson/Cameron, Wilson/Stacy, ultimately House/Wilson

Looking at the list of pairings above you could easily come to the conclusion not to touch this story with a ten foot barge pole but that would be a mistake. The pairings are unusual but as is always the case in Wilson's life all roads lead to House. Very well written and featuring a Stacy who is far more engaging and warm than the character on the show this is actually a quite moving look into Wilson's very troubled psyche.

Nice recs. May I please suggest two exceptional chapter-lengthed fics by the lj user swordkat. The first one is Infectious Personalities, and the second is its sequel, Toxic Lives (not finished yet). Both are absolutely wonderful.

Here's a quick synopsis, from the summary of Infectious Personalities: House faces two challenges. A strange new case involving a rather horrifying set of symptoms and a change in direction in his relationship with Wilson.

You might want to ask the author's permission first. But it's definitely a must read.

I've read both and I agree that they're wonderful. Will definitely add them both to the list soon.

Oops - thought I was logged in there - but yes the author of both Infectious Personalities and Toxic Lives is very talented - only author I've seen yet that manages to combine the House/Wilson relationship with good solid medicine.
