H_W Challenge - "Once Upon A Time"

[barefootpuddles.livejournal.com]

The results of our H_W poll indicated a preference for...lurking. So we're skipping right along to the second vote getter which was a 'specific themed challenge'. Hopefully you lurkers will help us with prompts, as well as read and comment on the finished products.

Our theme (provided to us by petitecuriosity) will be "Once Upon A Time".

To get us started, we need people to post ideas in the comment section for things that have to do with something that happened in House and Wilson's past, affecting them in the present. (note: 'present' doesn't have to be post-show. You can set your work in any season you'd like)

An example would be: Something to do with Wilson's fraternity, or House's piano lessons. Or maybe something comes up related to somewhere House lived as a boy? Or Wilson's time at McGill?

The key here is that the 'thing' was mentioned somewhere in canon and came from either man's past. Ideas can be used more than once, and yes, you can write to an idea that is not offered in the comment section. The only other requirement is that whatever you create includes both House and Wilson.

The offering can be a fic, a vid, or an artwork.

Please share your results here with us at House_Wilson by the end of April!

Here are my offering/ideas:

Something dealing with the bet or deal that House made with Wilson that he has to pay his $10 anytime someone says "thank you" for a poor cancer diagnosis.

House admission to Wilson that he's been borrowing larger and larger sums of money from him.

Anything featuring Wilson's "Dr. Bear" or House's ball (something that references their origins for example)

Anything that features Wilson and his duck episode (the duck thing and Wilson was once mentioned concerning House and bachelor parties).

So does the 'past' have to be pre-series?

And here I was thinking that this was going to be a crossover challenge with Once Upon a Time :)

This challenges sounds like a great idea! I'm not certain I'll write something, but here are my ideas. I'd love to see something that involves Wilson and his tennis days. Either during school or even pre-series playing with House. Maybe even doubles with Stacy and Bonnie that later leads to some slashy fun. Anything with Wilson, House, and tennis would be great.

Thinking about tennis reminds me -- wasn't there mention of the two of them having played golf in the past?

And what was it about House (other than sheer cussedness) that made him never wear a doctor's white coat? He was forced into one in the Vogler arc, but he was clearly unhappy, and perhaps not just because he was being made to conform. Maybe there was something behind that?

It's canon, pre-show canon, that
1) House was working at PPTH and told Wilson about a job opening there, and that's how Wilson came to work at PPTH;
2) House thought Wilson took the job to be closer to House, but
3) Wilson did it hoping to find his missing brother, who was last seen in Princeton, and
4) House didn't discover this until S5 - and didn't know Wilson HAD a missing brother until S1.

Tidbits from House/Wilson past - not sure how you tie them into something in the 'present' but somebody might have some ideas :)

From 7.12 You Must Remember This - House: After divorce number two, he fell into a committed relationship with a three-legged Siamese. He stopped answering his phone, redecorated his place like Grey Gardens. He wasn't able to come back to humanity until a window was left suspiciously and heroically open. How that cat opened the window, I will never know.
