Shipper Manifesto: House/Cuddy (House MD)
Fandom: House MD
Pairing: Gregory House/Lisa Cuddy
Blurb: House and Cuddy kind of snuck up on me. When I first started to watch House, I didn't think I would have a new ship with this fandom. But, by season 2, I was totally in love with them. And they never disappointed me. They have a history, know each other since college, have spend a night together, and each new season bring a new revelation about their past. What I really love about them is the angst that surround them. And she's probably his longest friend and vice versa. She's been by his side whenever he was hurt, during the infraction, when he was shot, or after he tried to help Amber. They trust each other, and that's what matters the most, I think. AND the desk must have some sort of significance for them. When they were dancing on Time After Time, he finally talked to her about that night back in college. They're in my Top Three, and they'll stay here for a long time.

Rating/Warning(s): PG
Why This Must Be Read: This fic is just beautiful and it's completely in character. If you love House and Cuddy saying that nothing good can happen if they get together, and Wilson playing matchmaker to convince them otherwise, you'll love this fic.

Link: Link to part One
Rating/Warning(s): PG13
Why This Must Be Read: A really angsty fic, in each Cuddy and House are trapped in the collapse of a part of PPTH. It deals with the consequences, which is why it's so angsty, as well as their relationship after it happened. A must read.

Rating/Warning(s): PG
Why This Must Be Read: A beautiful fic centered on Cuddy, from childhood to the present time and future, with a lot of House/Cuddy too. Once more, it has a bit of angst in it, but you can't help it when it comes to House and Cuddy.

Rating/Warning(s): PG13
Why This Must Be Read: A future fic where Rachel is five, and loves House. And where House is, well, being House. House and Cuddy tries to deal with the fact that some things seem to be pushing them together. Sadly, this is a WIP, and the author hasn't updated in some time.

Rating/Warning(s): PG13
Why This Must Be Read: House, Cuddy and the motorcycle. Do I need to say more? Ok, then, there's what we all love, aka House/Cuddy banter, and Cuddy get to ride the bike after House towed her car, well called someone to tow it, actually. And did I say that she gets to ride the bike?
Fic Rec #10: Adagio

Rating/Warning(s): NC-17
Why This Must Be Read: Written for last year's House Big Bang. There's a lot of angst, some House/Cuddy and some Cuddy/OMC. This is post-Joy, and Cuddy has kind of lost hope of having a baby one day, hence the angst. A must read.
