Title: At The Round Earth's Imagined Corners
Author: PWCorgigirl
Characters: House, Cameron, Foreman, Chase, some OCs
Prompt: 16.Teamwork
Rating: PG-13
Length: Long
Brief summary: House the show is an ensemble cast that centers around patients and diseases, but the fics rarely do. This one does; everybody gets some examination, there's an actual plot, and the original characters are neither two-dimensional props nor author-inserts.

Title: Medical Release
Author: Syal
Characters: House/Wilson
Prompt: 2.AU
Rating: PG-13
Length: Short
Brief summary: The whole point of an AU, in my view, is to change the situation but keep the characters very recognizably the same. This accomplishes that, in short, bittersweet space.

An Object In Motion, Intellectual Properties

My Table

Claim: House: general series
Title: An Object In Motion
Author: Greensilver
Characters: Wilson, House
Prompt: 22.UST
Rating: R
Length: Medium
Brief summary: This story goes up, down, and back again, while leaving the sense that the central character (Wilson) has actually gone nowhere at all. Impressionistic, and pulls off the UST perfectly.

Title: Intellectual Properties
Author: Milkshake Butterfly
Characters: House/Wilson
Prompt: 17.Jealousy
Rating: PG-13
Length: Medium
Brief summary: Jealousy is hard to write well, or else there are too many lazy writers using it as a plot device to get to the sex or declaration of love. This does it well- and it's funny, and the characterization is unmistakable.

Title: Burden of Reality

Characters: House, Wilson, Chase, Cameron, Foreman, Cuddy
Prompt: 28.Dream
Rating: PG-13
Length: Long
Brief summary: I'll cop; I'm a sucker for surrealism, as long as it's not just random. This is light-hearted, interesting, has an actual plot and good dialogue, and is all in all just plain fun to read.

Author: Syal
Characters: House/Wilson, Julie
Prompt: 38.Kiss
Rating: R
Length: Medium
Brief summary: This is just plain lovely. The imagery is good, the characterization is good, and it carries a wonderful feeling of bittersweetness that is more sweet than bitter. And, as the prompt might indicate, has possibly my favorite first kiss in fanfic.

Title: Grace
Author: Ishafel
Characters: Chase, Chase's parents
Prompt: 3.Angst
Rating: PG-13
Length: Short
Brief summary: I rarely like angst, which makes me feel like something of a minority in fandom. But this does it well- short punch in the gut that conveys the sense of a character in his own private hell without crossing the line into the melodramatic.

Prompt: 15.Crack!fic
Rating: PG
Length: Long
Brief summary: I laughed until I ruptured something. The imagery is hilarious, but still takes second place to the dialogue. Your very best pure uncut happy-making crack right here; don't eat or drink anything while trying to read this.

Prompt: 32.Secrets
Rating: PG-13
Length: Epic
Brief summary: It has a plot! It has great characterization! It has snappy, wonderful dialogue! Did I mention it has a plot, and it's a mystery, and that drives the story? Everybody lies, but some have more to cover for than others.

Characters: Cuddy/Stacy
Prompt: 47.Reccer's Choice
Rating: PG-13
Length: Long
Brief summary: I have a weakness for this pairing, but I rarely see it written as anything other than a PWP or background pairing to House/Wilson. This is lengthy, and sweet, and really more a study of Cuddy's personal life (or lack thereof) than anything else... but still one of the best Cuddy/Stacys I've yet read.

Claim: Stargate Atlantis: John Sheppard/Rodney McKay
Title: Wish You Were Here: Rosebud/Up Into the Silence
Author: Auburn (auburnnothenna)
Characters: Sheppard/McKay
Prompt: 26 - Death
Rating: Mature
Length: medium
Brief summary:"Rosebud" and "Up Into The Silence" are paired stories, which "Rosebud" following Rodney's POV and "Up Into The Silence" showing John's. Rodney's story is more of a mystery, while John's story answers the questions it asks. Beautifully written, evocative, and heart-breakingly cruel, the author plays with time in this, delaying the moment of the reveal for as long as possible.

Better to Copulate Than Never

Claim: Harry Potter Fandom: Severus Snape
Title: Better to Copulate Than Never
Authors: Arionrhod and McKay at remembra@remembrall.slashcity.net
Characters: Remus/Severus
Prompt: 01. First Time
Rating: PG13 [main] NC-17 [SMUT sequel]
Length: Epic [22,353 (smut sequel: 4,326) words]
Brief summary: First Time is really the only thing to call this fic. Severus makes some changes in order to find a partner to take his virginity, so he can make a potion for the order. Remus makes himself Agony Aunt to help him, but finds it harder to do so when he wants to be 'the one'. It's a weird switch, Severus, the virgin, seducing his teacher in seduction, by asking for "Advice". It's very funny, sweet, and awkward. Just as a first time should be. OH, and very hot.

Hawks and Hands, The Bodyguard

Claim: due South, Fraser/Kowalski
Title: Hawks and Hands
Author: Dira Sudis, on LJ dsudis
Characters: Fraser, Ray, the NHL
Prompt: 33. Crossover
Rating: NC-17
Length: epic
Brief summary: This is the Hockey AU. I'm not sure if that really counts as a crossover, but I generally hate crossovers, so sue me *g* If you are a due South type of person, and you typically shy away from AUs, you must immediately devote several days of your life to this story. It’s amazingly complex, huge in scope, and about two very excellent things in the world, due South and HOCKEY. Basically, Ray is a journeyman forward who thinks his career is over, and Fraser is a solid defenseman just traded to Chicago from Edmonton. Much drama ensues, Smithbauer makes a number appearances, Ray and Fraser have lots and lots of really amazing sex. I avoided this fic for a long time because the premise kind of scared me off, but I couldn’t stop reading for about three days once I started. You will not be disappointed. This is one of the essential stories of the fandom.

Title: The Bodyguard
Author: Speranza, on LJ cesperanza
Characters: Fraser, Ray, Olga, the usual suspects
Prompt: 45. Trapped
Rating: NC-17
Length: long
Brief summary: Woohoo, another Speranza! I had forgotten how good this story was until I was rereading everything by Speranza last month, and read this again. Wow. Pretty much blows me away. Anyway, the basic premise is that Fraser is responsible for guarding a Russian-born Canadian ballerina named Olga, who wants to get in his pants. Fraser pleads for Ray’s help, and in the midst of the chaos they discover secrets about each other and their own feelings. This story is wonderful, and the final sex scene is so scorchingly hot, it might possibly ignite your computer screen. Guh.
