2024 was my first year of getting back into writing fanfic since literally 5 years ago - and I only got back into it in the second half of the year (and I'll still be posting more stuff before 2024 is over lbr)
very briefly, these are the House fics I wrote this year, in chronological order:
Kill the Mood: Hilson try doing doctor roleplay during sex (and fail)
Bonk: Wilson gets a concussion :)
Don't Touch Me: Wilson hates physical contact and has a bad time
inappropriate use of hospital technology: House sends Wilson a dickpic and trans!Wilson jerks off about it
acting like a tough guy: House avoids Wilson on Valentine's Day (Wilson is very endeared by this)
sleep(less): Wilson is sleep deprived to the point of hallucinating a week after he started dating House
Slow Blink: Wilson is turned into a kitten. House is confused by cat body language
ow: trans!Wilson has period cramps
oh, and one more thing: Wilson gets hurt, House mother hens him, Wilson is a little shit
Want/Deserve/Receive: Wilson starts dating House and freaks out because he doesn't feel like he's allowed to be happy
the truth I chose to bend myself around: House accidentally takes truth serum. Nobody believes him (wip)
Tie Me Up, Pull My Leash: Wilson bets House to wear a tie and then tugs on it like a leash and they make out about it

i love you visible brushstrokes. i love you glue warped scrapbook pages. i love you awkward poems. i love you junk journal with faded receipts. i love you poorly composed journal layout. I love you unintentionally blurry photographs. i love you asymmetrical beading. i love you curling freeform crochet. i love you fingerprints on pottery. i love you reused materials. i love you improvised instruments. i love you mistakes. i love you bravery to make it anyway. i love you creativity that hasn't been wiped clean of every drop of humanity and sanitized and commodified.
