Involuntary Commitment by Ignaz Wisdom

Hi there! This is my first time behind the wheel of the van. Anyway, I'm driving for House this month, and seeing as I'm a House/Wilson fangirl, you can expect lots of recs with that pairing. Here goes!

Fandom: House
Pairing: House/Wilson established relationship
Length: 42k
Author on LJ: ignazwisdom 
Author Website: ignazwisdom 
Why this must be read: 

One of the classics of the House/Wilson fandom is A Modest Proposal (yes, I'm sneaking in a double-rec here), and as a sequel, Involuntary Commitment lives up to (and possibly exceeds) its predecessor's brilliance. The two fics are an alternate take on the Tritter arc way back in season three, and Involuntary Commitment begins with House in a rehab facility. However, there're no music box miracles here: House has to claw for every inch of progress he can, while trying to hold together his life and his relationship with Wilson at the same time. The setup is similar to "Broken," but this fic is unfettered by a two-hour time limit and instead meticulously picks House's flaws apart and examines them in a way that "Broken" never did. Of course, hot phone sex never hurts, either. XD

I agree with this rec, 1,000,000%. I recently read this story (my first House M.D. fic EVER), and was blown away. This story (and it's prequel) set the bar in the fandom for me.
