Seconding Strings. It also has a lot of exploration of House and Wilson's relationship. I'm also seconding blue's comment that you can't go wrong with any of the Big Bang fics. Great writers doing great work. Cameron fans will want to read Fated Addiction's how to skin your knees standing straight, an R-rated House/Cameron, Chase/Cameron fic. I haven't read it but Cameron fans are raving about it.

Big Bang is all lovely... and dang it I remember that 'I'm his partner' fic you were looking for, but I can't remember where I saw it. But I'm reccing Who Knew bySJ 88 Quite a long one, just finished, not overly sappy, jut a look into House's past - and it has a lovely ending. http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4040756/1/Who_Knew

I'll second Who Knew. I missed seeing that one earlier and Sheep's right, it is a good read.

Thirding Who Knew. It is a good read but it is not a read for people who dislike certain fan cliches or get in a tizzy over the spelling of Stacy's name. It is also written by a very young writer and it comes through in quite a few places.

Don't read pwcorgigirl's latest story Come Clear http://pwcorgigirl.livejournal.com/204117.html unless you have a tissue handy. (Too tired to remember how to do cool link)

Wow, I'm sort of new to this whole ff thing (discovered it at the start of this year). What is the big bang? Is it ff or lj? I had NO idea folks had cover pages and art work or fanfiction, my goodness. I've been reading a lot lately...what a fun find. Any can't be missed fics you would recommend? Fun way to wait out the hiatus. TIA!

Carrie, to read all the "can't be missed fics" in House's fandom go to the Desert Island thread, here in the Cafeteria - I think it's on page two... Here: http://houseofwhining.com/viewtopic.php?t=230&start=0 And you can also go to the House Hall of Fame: http://community.livejournal.com/housefic_meta/87779.html All fics recommended are great. And the House Big Bang is a challenge, every author who signed must write a story with at least 20.000 words. Go take a look... :wink:

Thanks very much Lully!

Zeppomarx just posted Chapter 18 of A Gentle Knock

Datsun has posted part 15 of her fic here. For those of you who haven't been reading it, it's hurt/comfort with House and Wilson and a completely brilliant fic. It's gen so far, but the first chapter says it's H/W. Start reading here. ETA: Does anybody know a fic where House and Wilson are watching 'To Kill a Mockingbird' and they're trying to diagnose Walter?

Tenna, the fic you're looking for is The Unrequited Passion of Walter Cunningham Jr. by nightdog_barks.

Thank you very much to Blue for the rec of Strings a few pages back. I'm definitely going to have to go on a feedbacking spree for the Big Bang participants this weekend. I also wanted to encourage everyone here to leave feedback for the artists as well as the writers. To wit, Leiascully made a most gorgeous cover for Strings, which does an amazing job of showing the tension between Foreman, House, and Wilson. You can give her feedback here. There's also this trailer by Tli that captures the story beautifully. I think it would be great if she got feedback from more people than just me, and you can do that here. For new fic, I'd love to point you all to Hot Showering, by Yanatya, which I think you can read as shippy or as gen. It's rated PG for nudity--and how! Also, just a quick note to clarify for Buddistbabe8, the Big Bang challenge isn't one you rec things for--it's an archive of House novellas. You can find them, in all their glory, here.
