#Hilson fic

[microwavedmetal]

I felt the need to do a list of all the hilson fics that I remember have this trope or something that goes near it. I've also taken the liberty to add stories that even barely brushes the concept.

When House is Bored

gracefultree

Summary:

When House gets bored, he asks uncomfortable questions that he doesn't expect Wilson to answer... only this time, he answers and House has to deal with the consequences.

Comment: This one comes closest to fulfilling the actual prompt imo

**********************************************************

How Not To Be Boring

By: fourleggedfish

House is bored, and Wilson is tired of being labeled the boring half of the friendship...so he calls House on a dare. And then stuff ensues. House/Wilson, EXPLICIT SLASH/NC-17! Now rendered AU; pretty much disregards everything starting with "Softer Side"

Comment: Also fits the criteria, but it's technically it's Wilson that started it all

****************************************************************

The Kissing Experiment

starryvioletnight

Summary:

Wilson gets a kiss one day from none other than Gregory House. And then he gets another, and another. Why is House kissing him once a day? Wilson doesn't know, but surely it's completely platonic.

Just a lot of fluff. I wanted to write them kissing.

Comment: This one is more about actions than joking words. 'I'm kissing you, and if you take offense I'm pulling a 'no homo' '.

********************************************************

Contamination

Someone overhears House's "confession" to Stacy in "The Mistake", and the rumors get a little out of hand.

Comment: Stories diverges from the initial prompt from now on. House jokes about being with Wilson. Everyone believes he was being serious. It changes stuff.

************************************************************

It’s Not Gay If It’s a Prank

cashewmilkhotel

Summary:

House “pranks” Wilson by stealing all of his clothes and leaving him with only a skimpy maid outfit, Wilson tries to fight back.

Set in the beginning of the series when Wilson gets divorced and House lets him sleep on his couch but not without a bombardment of pranks.

Comment: House really played himself with that one. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

**************************************************************

Flirt Alert

QueerSolar

Summary:

Wilson cannot recognize when someone is flirting with him, even if he swears he can. House decides to teach Wilson what flirting looks like, by flirting with the man, like the countless nurses would. How could his plan backfire?

Comment: House platonically flirts with Wilson to prove a point? Yeah, right.

Playtime's Over or The One Where Cuddy Forces House to See a Child Psychologist - mskullgirl

author summary: Following the events of "Skin Deep" (season 2, episode 13) House spirals out of control and stops eating and sleeping. Cuddy eventually offers him a deal; five sessions with Dr. Addams, the hospital's resident child psychologist, in exchange for three months off of clinic duty. What could go wrong? word count: 48k my notes: SO GOOD!! such a fun analysis of house and it has potentially my favourite accidental child acquisition of all time

Everything He Wants - the_northwind

author summary: House discovers that Wilson is a better coping mechanism than Vicodin. There's no way this could go wrong. A rewrite of the season six finale and beyond where instead of Cuddy, Wilson goes to House's apartment after the crane collapse. word count: 11k my notes: has one of my favourite hilson fic argument scenes. they're dysfunctional and messy and SO in character i couldn't recommend enough

Hypothesis - IreneSpring

author summary: At the beginning of the month, James Wilson decides to break out of his depressive spiral by having an affair with the first woman who is not needy. By the end of the month, he is facing an existential crisis decades in the making. word count: 15k my notes: haha wilson you are gay (jokes aside this fic is actually so fun and silly and made me LAUGH at the hoops our wilson jumps through to eventually realise he didn't get anywhere anyway)

Under My Skin - rhythmofsnow

author summary: Thirteen has a meltdown. House is there to ground her through it. (Post 5x05 "Lucky Thirteen") word count: 1.4k my notes: caring house my beloved... autistic solidarity my even more beloved <3

Composed - ferretwhomst

author summary: compose verb /kəmˈpəʊz/ 1. calm or settle (oneself or one's features or thoughts). 2. write or create (a work of art, especially music or poetry). or: a sick, restless Wilson finds himself in need of House’s company late at night. House indulges him. word count: 2.2k my notes: SO BEAUTIFUL.... wilson is so gay and so melodramatic and house matches his freak so well and WRITES HIM A PIANO PIECE....... they're so soft with each other idk its just beautiful. please read this

Soothe me now, soothe me, old friend (eng) - culturenana

author summary: Wilson would love to – Wilson would like to do so many things, make the most of countless wasted opportunities, erase every mistake, since his time has shortened without any warning, cruelly consuming itself under every cough. / House holds him close as if he is about to slip from his arms, and neither of them has the courage to discern what this thing between them is. There is no excuse or rational diagnosis that could cover it up. word count: 7.2k my notes: oh my god this fic made me want to bawl its so beautifully written and i have been shying away from post-finale fics purely to save myself the heartbreak but im SO glad i didn't do that with this one. they mean everything to me ;-;

'Samson's Mistress Cut His Hair, Thus Removing His Strength' - Sparklesinthewater

author summary: Set in season 3. Stacy doesn't come back. Tritter doesn't interfere. But the drugs and the infarction keep getting House into trouble anyway. Wilson is trying his best (but his best may not be what's best for House). / Or, House gets himself a girlfriend. Life goes downhill from there. word count: a beautiful 129k my notes: hello? hello!!!! can anyone hear me!! fic of all time!!!! a novel in its own right, and i did in fact stay up till 3.30am finishing it. impossible to put down and did make me want to cry in places. absolutely stunning. would recommend to everyone

a thousand teeth (and yours among them) - itooaminthisepisode (anarchy_opossum)

author summary: Sometimes, when House gets too overwhelmed by his emotions, he gets a little bitey. This is five times House bites Wilson, and one time Wilson finally bites him back. word count: 10k my notes: GORGEOUS STUFF!! amazing characterisation with lovely internal voices <3 they're so them and it makes me so happy

i let you win, i love to lose - sesamie

author summary: a short thing inspired by the thought, "what if amber and wilson's sex tape was ***for house***?" it seems like exactly the kind of toxic manipulative thing amber would pull and bring wilson along for. so here it is! set after the finale of season 4, and wilson and house haven't spoken about everything yet. things are bad between them and that's where the angst in this comes from! word count: 4.6k my notes: this fic did irreparable things to my psyche i mean ACTUALLY i do find myself thinking about it as im going about my day. genuinely was blown away by the sheer power of the prose i'll be honest 😭

we peeled the freckles from our shoulders - flowersinapril

author summary: Greg is twenty-three and James is nineteen when they first meet as counsellors at a sleepaway camp in the Adirondacks. word count: 2.1k my notes: GOD THIS WAS SO BEAUTIFUL...

author summary: When Wilson receives his terminal diagnosis, House flees to the hospital chapel. He doesn't know how to pray, but he strikes a deal: his soul for Wilson's life. When Wilson goes into remission, he has no choice but to uphold his end of the bargain. / In which House learns nothing about God, but everything about worship, in the arms of his husband. word count: 11.3k my notes: HOLY FUCK.. obsessed and i mean Obsessed with love as religious Especially when it comes to gregory 'religion is meaningless' house like this was so... good. it was so good. house is so desperate and so in love and its the most delicious thing ever

[oriley42]

The face that launched 24k words of fanfic...

Read Weekend in the Poconos on AO3!

[stuffnthangsss]

Currently reading a hilson fic where house never became a doctor (got kicked out of med school I think) and instead went on to work at a jazz club—where he has a meet cute with Wilson (still an oncologist)—which just reminds me of La La Land. Especially the end montage where Seb and Mia get together in one world but in the world of the movie, Mia moves on and gets married (screams Wilson, don’t it?). ALSO the fact that house canonically likes jazz whereas wilson prefers the blues iirc.

Imagine if I were to draw a hilson la la land au, haha jk, unless?

Edit: found this pic and tumblr and it’s perfect

Most Well-Written Fics 2024

back at it again for the third year in a row!! personal favorites from this year across multiple fandoms!

no particular order, just based on the order of my bookmarks.

for reference i am sooo picky, i have read over 6000 fics according to ao3, and i've read 700 since the beginning of the year. i only have 53 bookmarks in total... but here are some bookmarked fics i read this year!!!

this year i got into some random shit, blah blah blah, honestly most of these are not faulkner levels of literature doing monuments for the english language but they were good and make me feel a sort of way, so, here you go

Harry Potter (Drarry)

This Year's Love by trishjames / drarry E, longfic. love it a lot. genuinely made me want to become an adult. they were meant to be cry emoji

Yes, But It'lll Cost You by mintaminta / drarry T, privated. this one had such a good vibe, reminds me of fun and school and calm darkness. very nice.

Bad Habits by No_One_Special_01289 / drarry E, lowkey porn, longfic. those last few chapters got me SO hard, they love each other omg cry emoji. poor harry. i think i skipped most of the smut when i read it but the plot was so good. literally star crossed lovers UGHHHHH LET THEM BE TOGETHER

Recursion by tessacrowley / drarry E, longfic. its written really well and it's witty, but i kind of think this author just self-inserts herself for draco in all her fics because... that boy was soo pathetic in canon. genius au basically. but i can forgive her bc the fics are good

House M.D. (Hilson)

yes Medical Malpractice Husbands whatever shut up i like the fics and they're probably in love so leave me BE. these fics are good.

Look, Don't Touch by ORiley42 / hilson E, voyeurism fic.... guys HEAR ME OUT HEAR ME OUT OK that makes it sound SOOO bad but trust me i bookmarked this one because the author took such a horrible trope and made it genuinely not feel that creepy. like this fic is SO funny. it's really good. and the author is straight up just a good writer

the sea and the sky and you and i by thismagichour / hilson M, hanahaki angst. its really good because wilson just gives up and its soo heart wrenching bc he thinks house doesnt like him back and just wants to die. poor guy.

My Hero Academia (Dabihawks)

i have not given a Phuque about MHA for the past five years but i had this phase this year where i was briefly re-obsessed with dabihawks so here are some fics

planting trees (making shade) by nightquake / dabihawks T. basically hawks KHS for a good cause ..? really well written, has high tension and good allusions. loved this one. its the kind of fic u know is good by the summary

Hawks Lays an Egg by ButterflyApocalypse / dabihawks T. never in my entire Life 18 Years have i ever enjoyed mpreg except this fic, because he isnt even pregnant he just has this egg. it's such a good funny fic. i was asking myself why i had it bookmarked from like four years ago earlier this year so i reread it and i was like Yeah ok it deserves the bookmark. SOOO funny and ridiculous. crackiest fic.

MISC random fandoms (Battle Cats (????) and A Clockwork Orange)

nyankopalooza by Sanodigy / Battle Cats Game gen. No clue how i even found this. its so funny. ive never read a fic like this. its so funny. and weirdly well written, i like experimental / weirdly formatted fics. i used to play this game when i was a kid

Bitva Gruppa by VoidVesper / a clockwork orange X fight club, alex delarge X tyler durden E. its straight up a horrible plot, AKA CHILD GETS ASSAULTED. warning for underage and assault. it's not a morally good fic (clockwork orange is intentionally a morally wrong book). but holy shit the writing is great. like it reads like it's anthony burgess. just really good. probably one of the only fics here where i straight up bookmarked only because of the writing style

OK that wraps up this year's edition!! please give these fics a read, your life will be Fulfilled. byebyee

[opheliacreed]

sharp skates and flimsy dates: prologue.

In which James Wilson becomes a figure skater.

James Wilson discovered his passion for ice skating when one of his ex-wives took him to a temporary skating rink during the holiday season. Growing up Jewish, there had been no reason for him to indulge in Christian traditions or the cozy markets that came with it. He could appreciate the winter traditions that came with German Christmas markets like hot chocolate stands and glasses of eggnog served to keep the visitors warm, but that was about all he'd indulged in before Bonnie made him go on a festive winter date. He'd be lying if he said he didn't enjoy the Christmas shoppers and saying he didn't fall in love with ice skating the second Bonnie forced him onto a rink would be perjurious. Even after Wilson fumbled the bag with her, he continued to visit Christmas markets for the skating rinks and eventually moved onto a permanent rink, driving out to Trenton once a week and engaging in the off-ice training his coach suggested almost daily. It really wasn't meant to become such a big part of his life - when he first paid to enter the indoor skating rink he knows by heart now, he was just hoping to forget about his patients and watch some kids fall on their asses. Sure, there were plenty of children crying to their caregivers about the cold ice and their sore hands, but Wilson's attention kept drifting back to the pair of figure skaters practicing a graceful routine like it meant nothing to them. They looked gracious and romantic and like they could kiss each other any second now but wouldn't, instead dancing away from each other before leaping together again. The man holding his partner up like she weighed less than any average toddler took notice of his staring and must've thought he was after his girlfriend because they took off not long after and looked at him like he was a creep. It stunned Wilson, making him laugh all by himself and maybe he actually did look more like a deranged man than a successful oncologist at that moment but then again, he couldn't really get himself to care. Instead, he replayed the pair's routine in his head, probably looking like a fool as he retraced their steps. The routine looked a little less simple as he tried to copy it, looking like a stiff block of ice on ice. He went about it with a determined look on his face, only threatening to fall twice which, if you looked at the kids he was avoiding as he danced, was an accomplishment. By the time he was finished and somewhat satisfied with the outcome of his blatant copying, his legs were aching and he was too tired to even make his attempt at cooking dinner. He checked out the healthy fast food place just five minutes away from the skating rink, figuring a little more health couldn't do any harm - he was already forty-one and couldn't deny the way his body was changing. He ordered a breakfast bowl without even looking at the ingredients, the irony of buying a breakfast-centered item on a random Wednesday evening not being lost on him. And so the weekly tradition of skating for hours on end and purchasing a fucking breakfast bowl at 8 p.m. started for Wilson.

Thursday, the day after first trying out the new rink, he was a sore mess. His muscles ached and he could already hear House poking fun at it, telling him he walked just like him now, which is why Wilson made it his goal to avoid him that day. Obviously, it was futile - it always is. House finds him at the worst moments and he's supposed to believe it isn't on purpose? There's no way the man doesn't know what he's up to whenever he practically breaks into the office Wilson works at. He was having a one-sided conversation about some new patient whose symptoms were basically all in her head and whenever the oncologist tried to chime in with some input, the other doctor simply waved it away. He stood up to fetch some documents about the patients he was seeing later that day, relieved to find it wasn't a busy day. Mentally thanking his past self for that, he returned to see his friend staring. There it was, he's seen it and he was grinning like a fucking idiot. 'What on earth happened to you, Wilson,' House asked, amusement etched on his face. 'Nothing nearly as bad as getting shot by a patient,' he replied, scoffing as he made his way back to the desk. House glared at Wilson and for a second he thought he'd stunned the man when he said: 'Oh come on, that was one time. Won't you let it go? At least I've never looked like I got fatal backshots. Seriously, who did you jump?' Wilson had to stop himself from laughing as he rubbed his temples - House was the mean one, not him. 'Right, how could anyone forget? You just had a near-fatal headshot but sure, you've never looked this bad before.' House didn't look pleased as he motioned for the other man to continue. 'And,' he prompted, looking at Wilson like he was expecting one wild story. 'And nothing,' Wilson said, clearly annoyed. 'I didn't hook up with anyone, it's the middle of the week and I'm far too busy,' he groaned, hoping his friend would take the hint and leave him to deal with the mountain of paperwork that was waiting for him. In classic House fashion, however, he didn't pay any mind to the oncologist's schedule, instead poking fun at him and spitting out theories until he got paged and needed to 'save lives again,' said with an exaggerated eye-roll.

Wilson was sure House wouldn't let it go, but at least he'd managed to get through the day without having to admit he found a new hobby. He might as well tell his friend he'd decided to try out ballet - it'd make him a laughing stock regardless and despite the love he held for House after all these years, he didn't feel like subjecting himself to any more bullying than necessary. He enjoyed the company more than he enjoyed the sarcastic remarks and humiliation that came with being House's friend, and he'd rather not give him any more information to poke fun at. James Wilson had realized he wanted to take ice skating seriously, and Gregory House didn't have to know a thing about it. That's how it was, and that's how it would stay. No amount of guilt or manipulation could change Wilson's mind on this. Six more days, and then he'd get to feel the cold air on his cheeks again as he attempted to do the tricks he'd seen everybody do on TV. He was already looking forward to getting to skate again, even after just having done it for the first time in an actual rink, and he'd be looking forward to skating again every day for the rest of his life.

Double or nothing.

EnochianLullabies

The Game of Misunderstandings

cupqueencake

He’s sure by test, Cuddy meant something normal. To just ask him out, give him roses or something, make him dinner. But House is far from normal, and he’s buzzing in his skin with how bored he is. Recipe for disaster, more like. Or, the time Gregory House tried to win a convoluted game just to get together with his longtime friend James Wilson. He just didn't realize he had already lost before agreeing to play.  <https://archiveofourown.org/works/54336595>

I Never Sleep With Married Men

WaitingToBeBroken

Summary: House and Wilson are married. It's not what you think.  <https://archiveofourown.org/works/51500782/chapters/130157821>

[thatwholethingwiththeduck]

I feel like there should be a specific ratings system for post-finale Hilson. A scale from "dying in each other's arms" to "Wilson lives" by way of "set while he's still healthy enough to fuck/fuck with House, bring on that first-time we-should-have-done-this-twenty-years-ago energy".

[kurtdotkelly]

I had the most vivid dream that I was Wilson [I would switch from a 3rd/1st Person POV in every 'scene'], and that I got to work with House. And I held his hand AND IT FELT FUCKING GREAT. We were at the office for some reason? Like, office job with a computer. AND I JUST GOT TO HOLD HIS HAND. WILSON GOT TO HOLD HIS HAND!!! And he was indifferent and he was so House. His charisma is so crazy though.

[barryroyco]

hiiii i wrote another hilson fic! i started it the day i got my cane as a way of kinda coping with adjusting. so, a lot of house self-loathing, but i promise there’s a happy ending. i kept house as in character as i could so naturally i disagree with the majority of his thoughts and actions AKA being rude to stacy or himself <3
