Day Twenty-Eight: The Untimely Death of Megaupload by lieueitak (NC-17)

Day 28 - A kink fic.

Fandom Category: House MD
Pairing: Lisa Cuddy/Greg House
Fic Title: The Untimely Death of Megaupload
Author: [livejournal.com profile] lieueitak
Link: Here
Rating/Warning(s): NC-17, graphic sex
Genre: Romance, smut, kink!fic, AU
WIP?: No

Why This Must Be Read: First, let me say that I hadn't noticed at first that I'd rec two fics by the same author two days in a row. I just realised that yesterday. Anyway, this fic fits this day perfectly. The kink is a sex tape (yes, Cuddy allows House to film a sex tape but on certain conditions). Sadly for House (you'll understand why when you read the fic), their weekend away coincides with the death of MU. This fic is hot, really hot, and it's not work safe of course! Also, this is AU in the sense that House and Cuddy never split up.

Pairing: Allison Cameron/Gregory House
Fic Title: you were born inside out & running calendar graces
Author: [livejournal.com profile] fated_addiction

Rating/Warning(s): PG-13; descriptions of post-apocalyptic world
Genre: drama, post-apocalypse, romance
WIP?: Yes/No. 43,800 words for both stories.

Why This Must Be Read: These stories will carry you away into an AU that seems less of an AU and more like the road not taken. The prose is sparse in style but unforgettable in forging the characters we know and love into this new landscape where anything might happen.

"Jigsaw" by verde-speaks (R)

Fandom Category: House
Pairing: Lisa Cuddy/Greg House
Fic Title: Jigsaw
Author: [livejournal.com profile] verde_speaks

Rating/Warning(s): R
Genre: Smut, Angst
WIP?: no
Special Rec: 24 of 34

Why This Must Be Read: House is kind of a strange fandom for me - I'm really only drawn to the subsection of fanfiction that deals with how House and Cuddy knew each other during their college days at the University of Michigan (seriously: it's a pretty narrow focus). Of those college-era fics, this is one of my favorites. "Jigsaw" tells the story of House and Cuddy's one night stand, back when this sort of thing was all speculation, and ties everything in perfectly to their later relationship - snarky and sexy with a shadow of bitterness.

Two Peas in a Pod, or Why Cuddy Hated Being on Crutches by severuslovesme (PG-13)

Rating/Warning(s): PG-13 / none
Genre: Humor, Romance
WIP?: No
Special Rec: 26/30

Why This Must Be Read: Excellent dialogue, great characterization, this author has Cuddy and House's back and forth dynamic down. We all know that House just can't help pulling on Cuddy's metaphorical pigtails, and the different ways he goes about it in this piece will just make you laugh.

“Well, well, well,” House said, walking through her open office door.

Leaning on his good leg he lifted his cane to point at her triumphantly.

“It seems as though the crippler has become the cripple…eee.”

Rating/Warning(s): pg-13
Genre: Drama
WIP? No
Special Rec: 29/31

Why This Must Be Read: Set in the hiatus between season four and season five, this is an intelligent and well-written look at how House, Wilson and Cuddy could have dealt with Amber's death. All the characterisations ring true, and the relationship that unfolds between House and Cuddy is wonderfully handled.

Lead You Into the Night, by Ticcy (PG-13)

Fandom Category: House M.D.
Pairing: Lisa Cuddy/Gregory House
Fic Title: Lead You Into the Night.
Author: Ticcy
Link: http://housebigbang.panfandom.ca/fiction/into_the_night.htm
Rating/Warning(s): pg-13
Genre: General, angst, hurt/comfort?
WIP?: no

Why This Must Be Read: This has the best voices for all the characters I've ever seen. It's a simple story that takes the premise that House helps Cuddy out by getting her pregnant, and then proceeds to do everything he can to avoid any more responsibility in the situation. And somehow, yet, he gets drawn in. Wonderful read, but don't go in expecting it to be sugary-sweet or fluff. This thing is far too real and raw to be anywhere near fluff. House is himself: arrogant, stubborn and sometimes even cruel. But still, somehow, he manages to help. Cuddy is wonderfully drawn as a woman over her head with a new baby, and the postpartum depression is deftly handled with a type of realism you very rarely see in fanfiction. Wilson is there in all his Wilson glory, deconstructing and pushing House to examine himself and be more than what he wants to be.

Great read.

At the end of her rope, by w8ting4huddy (M)

Fandom Category: House M.D.
Pairing: House/Cuddy
Fic Title: At the end of her rope
Author: w8ing4huddy
Link: here, at FF.net
Rating/Warning(s): M
Genre: Angst/Drama
WIP?: Yes, but the author updates every night, sometimes with more than one chapter

Why This Must Be Read: Because it's visceral. The story starts at season six, when House finds out that Cuddy is dating Lucas, and goes from there. It deals with love, friendship, and shows a House getting more mature after Mayfield, and a Cuddy who's slowly losing control of her own life. It's an interesting change, since it's usually House who screws up and Cuddy who saves him.

Some times, the angst is so bad that it hurts you, but it's beautifully written. All the characters' acts and decisions, even the most extreme (and let me tell you, there are some very extreme things here), are in character. It's one of the best pieces of fiction I've ever read. And don't you worry - there is a happy ending, the story just hasn't reached one yet.

Fandom Category: House
Pairing: House/Cameron
Fic Title: Into Temptation

Rating/Warning(s): Teen
Genre: romance and mild angst
WIP?: complete

Why This Must Be Read: Winner for best long romance at the House/Cameron fic awards. [livejournal.com profile] everytimeyougo manages to keep House and Cameron in character. She lays out a very plausible scenario that starts with House merely messing with Cameron. Against his will, it turns into something more. Set during season five. I especially love that she doesn't gloss over Cameron's moral dilemma as she struggles with her desire for House, even though she's with Chase.

Rating/Warning(s): PG

WIP?: No

Why This Must Be Read: First, you have to have seen Known Unknowns, the latest episode to understand this fic, and otherwise you'll be spoiled. This fic is so well written, the characters were captured perfectly. This is a must read if you want a post-ep for Known Unknowns.

"Particle by Particle" by Antiqueskies

Fandom Category: Stargate: Atlantis & House, MD
Pairing: John/Elizabeth, with Cuddy and Elizabeth friendship
Fic Title: Particle by Particle
Author: [livejournal.com profile] antiqueskies
Link: here at [livejournal.com profile] likeyouimagined
Rating/Warning(s): PG
Genre: Gen/Romance/Introspective
WIP?: No.

Why This Must Be Read: This is a beautifully written, stunning portrait of Elizabeth Weir. Not the doctor or the leader or the diplomat, but the woman, who has put her life on hold for her City and the people that she loves. This story takes its time - Elizabeth doesn't suddenly wake up one morning, realizes she wants to jump her second in command, and does so in the nearest storage closet. (...not that there's anything wrong with that, mind you.) But this fic really gets inside Elizabeth's head, all her questions and insecurities slowly rising to the surface as she finally begins to contemplate just exactly how much she's given up over the years, and whether or not it really needs to be that way. Includes gorgeous cameos by Teyla, and Lisa Cuddy from House, MD. The crossover works flawlessly, and you don't need any knowledge of House in order to appreciate it. And all the while, John waits patiently and supportively for Elizabeth to realize that she does, in fact, want to jump him in the nearest storage closet. Because he's just chivalrous like that.

Fic Title: Not the Right One, But That’s Fine
Author: Faith V. [livejournal.com profile] faith_chaos

Rating/Warning(s): PG: Flirting, a lot of shameless flirting. Spoilers if you never watched Grey's Anatomy, or hadn't seen Season 2 through Now.
Genre: General
WIP?: No.

Why This Must Be Read: Because she thinks she has Daddy issues, he thinks she is one hot chick...her words, not mine.

This takes place following certain events on Grey's Anatomy that I'm not going to mention, because I hate to spoil things for people that hadn't seen them happen yet. Anyway, this is a story of how House meets Izzie, who comes to Seattle for in some ways, a fresh start. When I first read it, I couldn't help but like the idea of House/Izzie, and to be honest, it's stuck with me...it's that good.
