Why this must be read:

I admit it, much as I love House/Wilson, there's something about a well-written threesome that cleanses the palate, especially since they're so rare in this fandom. Here, Wilson and Cameron track House down at a bar, and it takes both of them to make House get out of his own way and take what he wants.

Cameron had just opened her mouth to ask what in the world they were doing there when her attention was caught by the haunting notes of a piano. She turned back to Wilson, confusion written all over her face but he nodded towards the small area beyond the bar. House sat there, pale blue smoke ringing his head from the dangling cigarette between his lips, his hands moved over the keys as if the instrument was a lover. "But he hates people," she whispered.

"He's still drawn to them," Wilson said. They took a seat at one of the tables, towards the back but where they could still see House. Cameron sat mesmerized, House played beautifully. The lines in his face had smoothed out, he looked younger, unencumbered by anything but the limits of his own talent. As he played, the other patrons fell silent, even the desperately lonely ones abandoned their struggle for comfort just to listen to him. Music, raw and plaintive, washed over them, filling the room as House began to sing in a weathered baritone.

Fandom: HOUSE
Pairing: House/Wilson
Author Website: Story found on The House Fanfiction Archive
Why this must be read:

These are the first two stories in an AU series where House and Wilson met back in college. What's delicious about them is that you can see the germs of their future selves, still being formed as Wilson tries to wrap his brain around his new best friend and gets taken for a ride in more ways than one.

House turned to him. "Do you really think a bunch of burly frat guys are going to go barreling down to campus police and admit that the *pizza guy* slipped them all date-rape drugs and made off with the *guy* they were planning to violate?"

"No..." Wilson said, "What they're gonna do is take it out on me."

"No. See, they're afraid of you now. They have no idea what hit them, they only know you're connected. They're like a tribe of really big pygmies," House told him. "If they try to hassle you in the halls, just wiggle your fingers all weird. They'll think you control the sun and run away in fear."

"That was racist," Wilson accused automatically.

"To the frat boys?"

Wilson shook his head. "No, to the...pygmies."

"Well, I'll apologize to the next pygmy I see, okay? It really was an insult to compare them to frat boys. And I'm not a racist, I hate everyone equally..."

Fandom: POPSLASH
Pairing: Chris/Lance

Why this must be read: Every once in a while, a story comes along that, even though I don't want one word of it to be true, well, except for the Chris/Lance part, grabs me with its dark possiblity.  I'd hate to think Chris is this bitter, but if he were, this is exactly how he'd be.  Set about five minutes ago in time, this is an NSYNC that's fascinating in its complexity.  This is a beautifully written story, with a bit of hope at the end that maybe Chris could finally lighten up a bit.
