Summary
Wilson was good at rules.
He had avoided the obvious Abnormal Acts his whole life, for he had bound the impulses of his body with schedules, ethics committees, consent forms, and unspoken agreements. When his patients spoke, voices packed with grief and self-disgust, he understood immediately. He always did. Empathy came easily when it was someone else’s mess.
Wilson used to respond to their pleas: “We’ll get through this,” a guilty sort of kindness drenching his voice, and he would be called a saint, a martyr, the Boy Wonder Oncologist with sympathy for all.
What he did not tell them is that he had learned, young and thoroughly, how to punish a body for producing unauthorized thoughts. That he had broken himself into compliance often enough that the procedure felt routine.

“Will you hold me?” He keeps his eyes on House, doesn't give him time to reply with a joke before he adds: “When the time comes… Can you do that?”

List of House, M.D. Rec Lists: 2005 to present (the Rec List List!) by resourceress7
Fandoms: House M.D.

Summary
(This AO3 work is NOT rec list. It's a guide to help you find works on and off of AO3, especially those from earlier in House fandom.)
This is a collection of all the House, M.D. fanfic & fanwork rec lists I have found. It's inclusive of any and all pairings, genres, tropes, and so on. Some of the rec lists here are thematically organized, or include descriptions or reviews of each work, which may help you find something that piques your interest, so I've noted that below.
Also included below is a list of fan community sites where you can dive into a House time capsule to find old favorites, new-to-you stories, and post fic-finding queries.
This project began with asking a fic-finder community for help finding more recent rec lists, and has expanded ever since. Some visitors were inspired to publish their own rec lists (and you can, too!).
It's never too late to let authors and creators know you read/view their work! I've included some resources to help you do that.
(January 2021: Number of rec lists has been GREATLY expanded, and I've added more in the resource sections. This project has come a long way since 2013!)

Summary
It’s the middle of Dean’s junior year of college and Dean had never paid much attention to fellow English-major Castiel Novak until they crash into each other at the Barnes and Noble on campus. The second Castiel’s coffee spills all over Dean, Dean can’t get the dorky English nerd out of his head. Chaos ensues.
Excerpt:
“I hope to see you around some time.” Castiel says. “I enjoyed our chat.”
“Yeah, this was nice.” Dean says. “Hopefully, next time I won’t ruin your coffee.”
Castiel shrugs. “Worth it.” He smiles and waves, “Bye, Dean.”
“Bye Castiel,” Dean says. For some reason he can’t help but feel disappointed as he watches Castiel walk away.

Summary
There is no such thing as a guarantee when it comes to war.
The outcome's known. Why try?
Return your rusty sword to battered sheath,
bow your head and bend your stubborn knee. Why
take the field when you cannot win the war?
But Harry -- he went down to Agincourt.

Summary
“I wish I could stand,” Cas says.
“Yeah,” Dean says.
Cas holds up his hand, flexes it, stares and then drops it.
“This weakness is unsettling. I can’t—I can’t even hold a pitcher of water, Dean.”
Dean makes a small sound in his throat, a non-committal hum.
He’s done soaping up Cas’ hair. He grabs the sponge at his side and starts to scrub at Cas’ skin, up along his arms, his neck, down his chest. When he runs it up his legs, to his thighs, Cas shudders and then there’s a hand cupping Dean’s cheek, cold and dripping water and soap, and Dean falters, looks at him for the first time.
“Will you sleep with me?” Cas says. “Tonight?”
Dean swallows.
He says yes.
After Lucifer's possession, Castiel stops talking.

12 months ago, Cas left the bunker and a broken-hearted Dean behind.
Now they must work a case together, where married couples are dying mysterious deaths and the only way to earn the neighbors' trust is by pretending to be married. Slowly, Dean finds that he loves being in a relationship with Cas, fake or not, and Cas finds his loneliness retreating, despite the harsh reality looming right around the corner.

Summary
“I need you to marry Castiel.”
They weren’t the words Dean expected to hear from his business partner’s mouth before their bakery-slash-chocolate shop opened for the day. He’d been quite happy being single—and who the fuck was Castiel, anyway?
It turned out that Castiel was a Russian erotic novelist in need of a ticket to America, and Dean… well, Dean was a last resort.

Summary
“I love you too,” said Sam, looking into his wife’s blurry face. He squinted. For a second he wondered if he needed glasses. But anyway, she was beautiful and he was lucky to have her. He was lucky to have all of this. A loving wife who he met at the… at the… Sam shook himself. A loving wife, a son, a home that he bought a few… months ago? Was it a few months? Or a year? Come to think of it, it almost felt like a few days.

Summary
Gone, gone. He can’t feel his hands. Gone, gone.
Is there a word for the absence of an echo? When you call into a vast, dark space and expect an answer, even just a reflection of your own voice, but nothing will call back to you? These are Dean’s thoughts. This is the world.
Wall at his back. Shuddering. Gone. Hands numb, shaking. Bereft of tears. Cas gone. Which means love gone. Forever.
Wall at his back and he can’t stop trembling. Numb. It could be seconds, or minutes, or hours. It feels like years. Time dissolves around him, the world dissolves around him. Cas. Gone.
And only the absence of an echo of the world, left.
.
Fixing the events of 15x19 to give the characters believable arcs and the stories they deserved (including Michael because WOW) and the events of 15x20 so that, essentially, they never happened and Dean grieved properly before getting to live out his days with the love of his life, on earth.

Summary
Twenty-three years of head-over-heels, devastating devotion and love, love, love for the man with bright eyes and dark hair. Fourteen years of friends, best friends, of always together. One moment of rejection.
Nine years of apart. Nine years of heartbreak, nine years of continents away, of not speaking, of no acknowledgement, no interaction, no closure, no peace. No happiness. Nine years of Dean’s life entering motions, going through them, constant, cold and mechanic, like clockwork. Nine years of alone.
God. Nine years. A lot has changed. And yet Dean still loves Cas just the same. Even if his heart hurts all kinds of different.
On the day of Jimmy Novak's funeral, Dean sees Cas for the first time in nine years. He adored Castiel the moment he met him, at only four years old. But after fourteen years of friendship destroyed by one moment of heartbreak, and after nine years of silence, Dean is convinced Cas will want nothing to do with him. And it's killing him.
