Hello there. I'm looking for this House/Wilson fic my friend recommended me. She couldn't remember the title or author or anything that could help me find it through a simple google search, bless her. It was something about Wilson's brother showing up (possibly with cancer or something), longish, supposedly medically accurate, well-written and not that recent (I'm thinking 2006--2009). That's all the information I have. I know it's a long shot, but does it ring any bells? Other than that, if there are any House/Wilson fics out there with exceptionally good writing you guys can rec me, something in-character and not sappy/overly romantic (any rating is fine), I'd be very very grateful. Thanks in advance!

Could that be "Already Spring"?

Here is a link to the pdf link site. It's the only place I can find it:

As for the other stories you would like, could you be a tad more specific? Is slash okay, or would you prefer gen? Have you read the typical fandom favorites and are looking for something more obscure, or have you not read many long pieces yet? Prefer medical mysteries, hurt-comort, AU, etc.?

omg thank you I think that's it!

I'm not picky about context or any particular storylines. I'm not that big on medical mysteries, prefer canon but am okay with AUs, and I have a soft spot for long, drawn-out UST (that eventually gets *resolved*, of course). My biggest turn-off is grownups (especially jaded, cynical characters like House and Wilson) acting like lovesick teenagers. But, really, feel free to rec me anything you've read and enjoyed lately ^^

I'm new to this fandom so I haven't read many long pieces, no. I tried "Modest Proposal" because it was recced so many times but couldn't really get into it.

Thank you again!

Two very long things:

My best suggestion for you is "The Open Road" (http://archiveofourown.org/works/126478?view_adult=true) by pun. It's long and it takes place away from the hospital largely. It's a road trip story. I find the writing very mature and it's a big favorite of mine.

If you like hurt comfort, the black_cigarette collective (A grouping of extremely good writers) has a fantastically long multi chapter fic called Aftershocks. There is a prequel called Bad Company, but it is very violent so I skipped it. Both can be found here: (http://black-cigarette.livejournal.com/)

Try those. If you want shorter things, there are tons of good stuff about. The more specific you are on requests the better people can respond. But look on this site for the tags to see what other people have enjoyed.

Also, here is a list of my own personal favorites with brief descriptions (http://barefootpuddles.livejournal.com/11873.html). I really should add some new fics to that list as I have discovered other gems since I wrote it. But it is a good start.

Since you're new to the fandom, I thought you might be interested in perusing some fics that some people think are worth your while.

Here's a post where I keep an updated list of rec lists:

Enjoy!

I love The Body Found (http://fourteencandles.livejournal.com/96526.html) by fourteencandles. It's starts out with Wilson missing, but ends ... well, you need to read it :) It's a "classic," but if you're new to the fandom, maybe you haven't read it? I'll come back with more recs when I have a bit more time.
