Lesser Known Stories for Rec List - ALL FOUND (thank you!)

[barefootpuddles.livejournal.com]

I am putting together a rec list of less well known stories that I have really enjoyed.  I thought these were saved to either my memories or to a word doc I keep on file but apparently not. I have over the years switched computers and laptops and somehow they got lost.

Can anyone help me find them again?

1. Wilson's mother had a stroke and he goes to visit her. House shows up. There is a scene that takes place either in the laundry room or nearby as Wilson waits for the laundry to be finished. (this one has been found now!)

2. A 'blind' fic that features a Marvin the Martian tie and a "which cartoon character is it?" guessing game. (this one has been found now!)

3. A story in which nothing much happens other than Wilson unpacks after moving into a new place and House entertains him but doesn't help unpack. It features Wilson unpacking a sailboat if that helps. (this one has been found now!)

Thanks in advance!

The first one is Tension and Release (http://blackpeartree.livejournal.com/1267.html) by blackpeartree.

You beat me to it. An excellent fic.

I betaed that one, though it required very little. Really great story. Sadly, she doesn't seem to have written anything else in the fandom.

Sadly, she doesn't seem to have written anything else in the fandom.

That is always a shame when a good writer puts something out and then disappears, at least as an author. But it is exactly that type of fic I want to include in my list because they are the ones few people have read. Especially people who joined the fandom late.

If any of those other fics ring a bell, let me know. The tie one I have read at least 3 times but now I can't find it anywhere.

Thank you! I thought that one would be the hardest to find so I placed it first on the list. Any ideas on the others?

[srsly-yes.livejournal.com]

Sorry, it was the only that rang a bell.

[yarroway.livejournal.com]

Not really. They both sound vaguely familiar, but that's not very helpful. Sorry! I hope you find them, though. I want to read them.

On the third one, the sailboat did help! The story is Leave This Harbor for the Sea (http://agentotter.livejournal.com/206738.html) by Otter. Classic from the early days of fandom.

That is indeed it. It is a great story. :) Thank you!

The cartoon "tie" one I think is quite old too. Early fandom days.

The second one rings a bell, I think it may be 'One Blind House' by DIY Sheep.
