Note that I used the author's own summary where applicable, otherwise I wrote one.
TIME IS ON MY SIDE
author. Houseketeer
chapters. 31+
type of fic. Perfect. Super romantic and funny
when to read this fic. When you're in the mood to grin like an idiot.
summary. "Cameron is determined to get House no matter how long it takes."

SNAPSHOTS
author. ColorofAngels
chapters. 6 so far
type of fic. Awesome. Just awesome.
when to read this fic. All the frickin time. Whenever you can.
summary. "The one where..." A collection of HC drabbles.
why i love it. I like to read it as though it were different moments within the same story, rather than completely separate stories, but that's just me. I love, love, love ColorofAngels' writing and this is one of my absolute favs. In my opinion, this should be a how-to guide to writing realistic, fluffy fic.
I AM A ROCK, I AM AN ISLAND, I AM A HOUSE...
author. BlueHeronz
chapters. 8 so far
type of fic. Foreplay on crack
when to read this fic. When your in a voyeuristic mood.
summary. House and Cameron think about one another and finally begin acting on their feelings.
why i love it. Because the story is one of the best written smuts I've read in a while... and we haven't even gotten the actual smut part yet. It's all about the foreplay, man. The incredible details are what make this story. Well, that and the descriptions of House's body by Cameron. Yeah...
I DO, I DON'T
author. ColorofAngels
chapters. 22+
type of fic. Completely fun
when to read this fic. When you just want to leave the angst of season 3 behind you.
summary. House and Cameron get drunk and married while at a conference in Vegas. When they return, House decides they should pretend to have gotten married on purpose to mess with everyone's heads and see how many people they can convince of their wedded bliss before the annulment comes through. Things start to backfire when they begin enjoying their married life more than they should.
why i love it. So the plot itself is completely implausible and it's been done before in many fandoms, but that's okay; it's still great! I love how much fun this fic is, for the most part. It's so great to read how they begin to really fall in love with each other through each chapter, while continuing to pretend that they're happily married.
PRIMAL
author. mishy-mo
chapters. 14 so far
type of fic. Awesome to the bajillionth power
when to read this fic. When you just want to scream with frustration over the HC stuff--and so do House and Cameron.
summary. A frustrated Cameron finally just takes what she wants from House.
why i love it. It's totally hot angst which is slowly developing into some awesome romance. I love how they practically rape each other in the beginning out of frustration, and how they make their little deal that goes from being strategic and 'rational' to emotionally powerful in later chapters.

TELL ME HOW IT FEELS
author. MaybeBaby1280
chapters. 1
type of fic. Smutty, but still romantic
when to read this fic. When you really just want a romantic and beautiful HC story without any complications.
summary. "House and Cameron have the whole weekend off work, and they plan on spending every moment of it together. No spoilers, no angst, just pure fluffy romance. I'm in that kind of a mood."
why i love it. Because of the last 5 lines. I just love the utter romance of it all. Ugh... it makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up. I just love this fic.
NOTHING TO FEAR
author. Jackie W.
chapters. 19
type of fic. Sweet but not completely sugary; Baby fic
when to read this fic. When you want House to stop being so damned scared.
summary. "Fear can immobilize you. It can also be a catalyst for amazing change."
why i love it. I love how we see them progress in their relationship as the pregnancy progresses. And we see House's feelings for her become more and more obvious. It's just a nice story about the progression of their relationship. Believe it or not, there just aren't many of these out there that aren't completely overdramatic. Or, worse, they go back and forth between them being angry at each other and loving each other. Well, they love each other through this whole story and it's totally sweet. This was written before Daddy's Boy, so she made up her own family history for House. If you can overlook that and the sometimes questionable language style, you should enjoy it.
THOSE 3 WORDS
author. Downwind-Sailor
chapters. 1
type of fic. Short and sweet
when to read this fic. When you don't have a lot of time but need an HC fix.
summary. House finally tells Cameron that he loves her.
why i love it. It isn't some sweeping epic-- it's simple and to the point. It manages to do in 3 short paragraphs what some larger fics never do. I love little scenes like this from their lives.
CAFÉ VALENTINE
author. AllieCam
chapters. 1
type of fic. Old school romantic
when to read this fic. When you want some clean, old-fashioned romance.
summary. House finds Cameron people-watching at a restaurant on Valentine's Day and decides to join her.

chapters. 1
type of fic. Grin-inducing
when to read this fic. When you want to see House let go of all his insecurities and just enjoy what he has.
summary. House thinks about all the bad things that could happen in his relationship with Cameron.
why i love it. I really like how we see into House's self-doubts and fears about his relationship with Cameron, only to see him let it go at the end so easily because he loves her.
MY BEST FRIEND CAN GET RID OF A PICKLE BETTER THAN YOUR BEST FRIEND
author. Nikita34
chapters. 1
type of fic. Achingly romantic
when to read this fic. When you need a happy cry
summary. Established ship. Cameron is in an accident on the way home from a conference and House beings to think about the little things that mean so much to him.

IN THE WEE HOURS OF THE MORNING
author. Imitating Licentiousness

type of fic. Pretty and easy
when to read this fic. When you're tired of all the typical "relationship problems" fics tend to have, especially with HC. This one has none of those.
summary. House and Cameron spend their first night together and House notices all sorts of little details about her.
why i love it. It starts after their first night together and there's no angst. No overthinking everything, no needing space, no drama. And I love that House is the one who wants her there, rather than her forcing her way in.

chapters. 1
type of fic. Wedding fic -- awesome wedding fic, not cheesy wedding fic
when to read this fic. When you're in the mood for some funny Cameron POV
summary. Cameron's point of view during her small wedding to House.
why i love it. I actually like that it's completely from Cameron's POV and that it's so realistic in terms of what Cameron is thinking. It's funny and sweet, and I love HC more after reading it.
THE RESULTS
author. JellyBean30
chapters. 1
type of fic. Sweetfic
when to read this fic. When you need a little bit of predictable goodness.
summary. House and Cameron attend Wilson's wedding and House has a suprise of his own.
why i love it. I practically feel guilty for loving it, but I do. It's completely and totally unrealistic, but that's okay 'cause it's still awesome.
THE BUTTERFLY
author. CausticChick
chapters. 1
type of fic. Smutty, smutty goodness
when to read this fic. When you're in the market for a new vibrator.

type of fic. Fluffy and cute
when to read this fic. When you're in the mood for some short, sugary goodness.
summary. House has a few rules to being with him, which Cameron takes with a grain of salt.

type of fic. Quickie but goodie
when to read this fic. When you don't have a lot of time but could use a little pick-me-up.
summary. "Belated birthday gift for ellington_sneak who said, I've always wanted to see something happen at night on the hospital roof."
why i love it. Because it's simple. I like that they could never be a fling for each other-- that it does and will always mean something.

chapters. 1
type of fic. Better than ice cream
when to read this fic. When you just need a good "awww."

STYLE: ANGST | HURT!FICS | SAD
(In no particular order...)
A DIFFERENT REASON
author. Mishy Mo
chapters. 28+
type of fic. Romance; hurt!fic
when to read this fic. When you want to hurt Cameron just to get a great shippy reaction out of House (especially when the writers waste their opportunities to do so on the show!).
summary. "'The skinny brunette,' he said without thinking. Then there was a flash of cold steel and the crack of gunfire. Allison Cameron had been shot. Alternate 'No Reason'".
why i love it. I've always wondered what would have happened if Moriarty had shot Cameron instead of House in the season 2 finale. This story gives a great perspective on House's reaction to Cameron almost being killed and a real emotional response from him when he realizes he may lose her (something that's been lacking on the show). While House sometimes borders on Gary-Stu with the emotion, it's still written well and a great read.
HIDE AND SEEK
author. ObsessedWithStabler
chapters. 4 so far
type of fic. Horribly angsty and sad
when to read this fic. When you're super depressed and want to feel better about your life because someone else's (however fake they may be) is worse than yours.
summary. Somewhat AU, in the future House and Cameron are married with a young son and another child on the way when some thugs enter House's office and hurt Cameron - which their son witnesses.
why i love it. I'm not actually sure. It hasn't developed enough for me to really have a strong opinion either way. I guess I like it for what I can see happening in future chapters. I hope the author updates soon because I think it's a good idea but just needs to continue. I'd like to see the story grow and see how House and Cameron deal with what happened.
THE LINGER
author. Imitating Licentiousness
chapters. 1
type of fic. Kind of angsty on House's part but the story is hopeful- in its own way
when to read this fic. When you just want to a moment between House and Cam to not be sarcastic or clever. Just... normal.
summary. House's leg pain is particularly bad one night and he lets his guard down for a few moments with Cameron.
why i love it. Imitating Licentiousness has this great knack for short stories made up of these fantastic little stolen moments between House and Cameron. This one is no exception. Very well written.
NO FLOWERS OR BIRDS OR PRETTY GIRLS
author. Houseketeer
chapters. 1
type of fic. Holy Christ on a cross...
when to read this fic. When you're rewatching ep 3x11 and need it to not be so damned PG.
summary. "Written for the hc_smut_a_thon. Prompt was to re-write the hug scene from 3x11 to a smutty conclusion of any kind."
why i love it. Because Houseketeer wrote it, so obviously it's made of the highest form of awesome there is. Totally smutty and hot. I love SexyActionCameron and TotallyIntoItHouse.
STATING THE OBVIOUS
author. brokentoy85
chapters. 1
type of fic. PrimitiveJealous!House
when to read this fic. When you want some primitive, caveman House who wants Cameron to know she's very much his.
summary. "He's a possessive kind of person, you knew that, didn't you???"
why i love it. Because what really affects House isn't Cameron's attention, but sudden lackthereof. Not because she's trying to play him, but because she's genuinely not interested. And it's this that affects him on a very basic, instinctual level.
OUR NOVEL WAS NEVER A FAIRYTALE
author. prymetymeglitch
chapters. 1
type of fic. Angsty but delicious
when to read this fic. When you wish it had been Cameron who'd gotten sick in Euphoria, not Foreman.
summary. "What if he had pointed to Cameron? 'This is about her. You can't act like you don't give a crap because this time it's Cameron who is sick.'"
why i love it. I love that, even with some of the same dialogue, the whole atmosphere is different when it's Cameron who's sick. It just changes the entire feeling of it. I really wish it had been Cameron in the episode... I think it could have brought a whole different element to the show. Even if it wasn't shippy, it still just feels different when it's Cameron's life on the line. Which is biased because she's a woman, I know, but it just would have been amazing.
WIRES OF HOLY WATER
author. fated addiction
chapters. 1
type of fic. Angsty
when to read this fic. When your body needs a break from the smut and craves some thought-provoking, character examining, plain-old good writing.
summary. How it's all come to this.
why i love it. Because of how good the characterization is, and how we see the devolution of the team and the evolution of HC.
JUST THIS
author. nikita34
chapters. 1
type of fic. Hot, hot, hot!
when to read this fic. When you don't want to bother with the pretense.
summary. House and Cameron finally have sex and House tries desperately to maintain a cold distance- to keep it about sex and nothing else.
why i love it. Because he fails miserably. I really love how he tries so hard but just can't make it only sex with Cameron. It's realistic but still has that hint of romance that keeps me happy.
TWO SIDES OF A COIN
author. WinterWaltz
chapters. 1
type of fic. Bittersweet
when to read this fic. When you're in the mood for bittersweet HC.
summary. House shows up with a gift for Cameron just before Cameron's date with Chase.
why i love it. Because of what we learn (and how), through his actions, that House doesn't want to let her go.
LACRIMATION
author. Dragynflies
chapters. 1
type of fic. Insanely sad and angsty
when to read this fic. When you just want to read a sad story.
summary. "There is no heartbeat."
why i love it. Because although it's very, very sad, it's still hopeful in a way. I really loved how they wanted the baby so much and how hard it is to deal with the loss.
CALLIGRAPHY
author. Dragynflies
chapters. 1
type of fic. Angsty and cold, but still a good read
when to read this fic. When you're tired of wimpy Cameron.
summary. Cameron is seeing someone else and it's driving House mad.
why i love it. For the last lines. I love HC, and lord knows I love some fluffy HC, but every once in a while I need a story like this to knock House down a little bit from that pedestal everyone seems to put him on.
TENSION
author. KJ Draft
chapters. 1
type of fic. Smutty Angst
when to read this fic.
summary. "House is unwittingly on anti-depressants. Cameron enters his apartment in the middle of the night and because he's all happy and hazy and drowsy (canon) and horny (fanon) he decides to go for it. Big time."
why i love it. Because they go for it. Big time. BIG time. I really like that Cameron stands her ground in the end, too, even though it's kind of heartbreaking that she doesn't just take the offer. She's being realistic and that's good but, man, it sucks.
MORE SOON!
