Gather 'round the campfire

[yarroway.livejournal.com]

Pull up a seat, and have some s'mores.  Let's talk AU.

I love AUs.  One of the great things about them is that they open up a whole new range of maladies and misfortunes to inflict on Our Heroes. There are stories set far in the future or past, supernatural stories with vampires and werewolves, sci-fi stories with robots and fantasy stories with demons and angels.  Are there kind of AUs you like and ones you don't (for instance, maybe you love historical stories but hate ones with a supernatural element)?  Do you hate the entire genre?

As a side question, I've always been curious what readers perceive as an AU and what they don't.  Most ratings seem to be based on the setting more than anything else. If the setting is canon but Wilson is a woman, is that AU?  What if someone is a shape-changer, or a telepath, or the story includes weird mystical powers, zombies or mpreg, is that AU?  If House and Wilson appear exactly as in canon but are practicing medicine in a field hospital in Afghanistan, is that AU?  Where, in other words, are the boundaries?  Is all fanfiction a kind of AU and it's just a matter of degree?

Poison and Wine (7/?)

[rslhilson.livejournal.com]

Title: Poison and Wine
Author: rslhilson
Rating: T
Summary: A dying Wilson returns home after a 5-year absence.
Spoilers: General spoilers through Season 7, although I've revised canon.
Pairings: Eventual Hilson
Disclaimer: I own nothing :( The fic is loosely based on the RSL film "In the Gloaming" (but not a crossover), and the title is taken from the song by The Civil Wars.
Warning: Eventual character death
Author's Notes: AU in that Amber survived the bus crash and took off with Wilson at the end of Season 4. Minus Wilson's absence, everything else that has occurred on the show since then is still game. Hopefully the only discrepancy is that I've kept Cuddy around (since it takes place 5 years post-Wilson's Heart, this would technically be Season 9 – and apparently we've seen the last of her after Moving On). Also, special thanks to srsly_yes for convincing me to post my work here...again. =)

Previous Chapters: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

FF.Net Link: Chapter 7

(  I need you to be sure about this, House.  )

Maspalomas

[damigella-314.livejournal.com]

Summary: House chooses a holiday destination/ carefully plans entertainment for two./ Wilson has doubts about the situation,/ but in the end there is fun for him, too,/ enjoying a gay-friendly, sun-bathed nation/ with a wide view on what tourists may do.
AU, h/w established. Dialog only.
Rating: Adults only, for nudity and sex.
Note: Wilson's POV: words he doesn't understand are omitted. Happy, sunny mood. Written for yarroway's camp sick_wilson challenge Into The Woods. Sorry, no trees.
Word Count: ~750.
