Title: "Four Blocks South of Eden"
Author: Syal, [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com]
Characters: House, Wilson
Prompt: 38. Kiss.
Rating: R
Length: long
Brief summary: The fic just has that great House/Wilson dynamic that we see in most episodes. Only moreso, because there's a kiss. And it gets better from there. All that's fantastic about the writing of the show is fantastic here in the writing of the fic.

Title: "All the Effects of Intoxication"
Author: [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com]
Characters: House, Wilson
Prompt: 39. Break-up.
Rating: R
Length: long
Brief summary: One of my favorite House fics. It's based on the premise that House and Wilson are secretly having sex (something I think is fairly obvious in canon). And then they stop. I almost could have put this fic with any prompt and it would have worked. But I chose this one because I love what happens after the break-up. When they try to figure out if things can go back to normal.

Title: "Too Long at the Fair"
Author: [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com]
Characters: House, Wilson
Prompt: 10. Fandom Cliche.
Rating: R
Length: long
Brief summary: It was a cliche long before it became canon. House and Wilson doing the Odd Couple routine, living together through one of Wilson's divorces. But it's cliche and canon for a reason; it's a great idea. And this fic is a wonderful example of the magic.

Prompt: 48. Reccer's Choice.
Rating: PG
Length: long
Brief summary: I think Wilson has some interesting insights about House's ways. Obviously Cameron wants to and needs to learn. It's a good extension of the Wilson/Cameron interactions we see on the show and a very well-written fic.

Title: "Dissonance"
Author: [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com]
Characters: House, Wilson, Julie
Prompt: 14. Loss.
Rating: PG-13
Length: long
Brief summary: I liked this fic for the loss prompt because there is so much loss in it. Julie's loss of faith in Wilson, loss of love, loss of hope. Then Wilson's loss of his wife, loss of yet another relationship. Sad and very much the way I have to imagine Julie's story would have played out in canon, had it been shown to us.

Author: [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com]
Characters: Wilson, Stacy, Cuddy, Chase, Cameron, House
Prompt: 03. Angst.
Rating: PG-13
Length: long
Brief summary: It makes sense to me that any relationship Wilson might potentially have with any of the other characters to be angst-filled and doomed. So I love these little glimpses because even if by authorial admission they didn't happen, this is how they would have (and in some cases should have) happened.

Rating: PG-13
Length: long
Brief summary: I love the dialogue between House and Wilson in this. It's very episodic and natural. Not much of a plot, but plot isn't really necessary when the charaterization is nailed like it was in the fic. A light, easy fic and a good one.

Brief summary: The anger is subtle in this fic but still palpable. Each step House takes is harder and it seems like he'll never get where he's going. Especially not since he can't move on from what brought him to where he is. A great feeling for House's character in this story. A great read.

Brief summary: There's that delightful saying that everyone's the same in the dark, which applies marvelously to a Wilson/Cameron fic. Yet in this story they both know that they're each thinking of someone else. The denial here is that they go on like it's just about the two of them, when it never is.

Brief summary: I love hearing about House as a kid and how it informs on who he is as a character now. This fic is a picture perfect example of that, showing us House's childhood in Egypt and his relationship with Wilson now. The fic is a little dark and depressing, but I think that's the only way it could be. Besides which - it's lovely anyway.
