Purple...

Purple Sneakers by RunaroundkidHouse/Wilson House/Chase/Wilson slashI've never been a huge fan of the threesome story in fanfiction. Because of their very nature the stories tend to be so far removed from any sense of reality as to be utterly absurd. There are a handful of House/Chase/Wilson fics out there most of which are ridiculous and tooth rottingly sweet. I don't exactly think that Purple Sneakers is the exception that proves the rule but it is enormously good fun. Well written and hot as hell the writer gets bonus points for a wonderfully in character House. Naturally it being a threesome story all believability and credibility goes flying out the window at the end of the story when not only does Cuddy walk in on our boys (because heaven knows if you're going to dabble in a bit of light bondage in exam room 2 you wouldn't dream of doing anything sensible like say..locking the goddamn door!) but its indicated that the entire clinic knows what the boys have been up to. However, despite the very silly ending this is one of the better House slash stories to crop up in recent months.Day and Night by NakenoHouse/Wilson House/Chase slash/bondageFron the silly to the distinctly dark this is a somber little piece which has Chase insinuating himself into the House/Wilson relationship. It's a story where noone seems to win - not Wilson and certainly not Chase. It's also one of the rare stories that is brave enough to depict House as downright unlikeable - this is certainly not the usual super fluffy take on the House/Wilson relationship. Only Human by peak_in_darienHouse/Wilson slashBrilliant story from a new author to the fandom which has House realising that Wilson has a crush on him. Wonderful dialogue and pitch perfect characterisation. I especially like the way she portrays Chase and Foreman. Very highly recommended.Windsor by BasingstokeHouse/Wilson unrequitedAn extremely well written story told from House's point of view which charts the rhythms of Wilson's relationship with his wives by the ties he wears. Complete with pretty visual aids!Heart of Oak by Alibi FactoryHouse/Wilson House/ChaseRather melancholy story told from Chase's point of view. Chase is often portrayed as having a crush on House but in this story it sems to be all consuming. Also features an intriguingly dark Wilson who is normally portrayed as somewhat akin to a fluffy puppy.And switching fandoms completely for a moment here's a Firefly recGlass Walls by AnaGen barest hints of Simon/JayneI adore Firefly, Serenity and have now met virtually the entire cast who are all the sweetest people you could ever wish to meet but I never really got into Firefly fic. I think part of the problem was that unlike House I really did struggle to buy into the slashy undertones that so many others saw with Mal/Jayne and Simon/Jayne and I don't often read gen stories. I found this story via another rec journal and have not been able to get it out of my head since.Essentially this is set prior to the events of the movie in a timeline in which Simon and Jayne have been kidnapped by the Alliance. Set almost entirely in a soulless high tech prison the story is told from Jayne's point of view as he deals with a Simon who has been driven insane by Alliance torture. Impressively the story manages to avoid the usual cliches you would associate with prison fic and the dialogue is true to the slightly hokey Western twang that Whedon uses on the show. The strongest element, however, is the characterisation of Jayne. Most authors don't know what to do with Jayne - so they dumb him down (if that's possible) and make him the butt of the joke. Here Jayne is strong, fundamentally decent guy who just doesn't always make the right choice. In fact I think I may have fallen a little in love with him in this story. My heart was also pretty much broken by the author's depiction of an utterly broken Simon. Deeply haunting.
