The House subreddit is so funny

You'll have people in the comments saying "House and Wilson aren't gay. There's a whole episode about it." Meanwhile here's some facts about the episode in question...

It's called "The Down Low". A phrase that refers to 'men who have sex with other men but consider themselves to be straight'.

In this episode House and Wilson pretend to be in a relationship to keep the other person from being with a woman.

At the climax of the episode Wilson professes his love and proposes to House in a crowded restaurant, successfully winning their game of chicken. They toast and presumably, after they finish the wine, they go home together.

The episode ends with them at home, in the condo they share, playfully bickering about how to decorate their new home.

A couple other things that feel more nebulous but still give me a 'they're not straight and the writers know it' vibe:

The general "they were roommates" of it all. Historically, we all know that this has been used to refer to a closeted queer couple. As House says, "We're grown men over the age of 30 who moved in together. We're two tigers away from an act in Vegas." The fact that they're perceived as queer because they live together is kind of the plot of the episode though so I feel conflicted using it as evidence to the contrary.

The case features two characters who broadly echo House and Wilson (in age, demeanor, and apparent moral fiber) and who seem to me to be gay. (Eddie almost never leaves Mickey's side and risks his life for the chance to save him. In turn, Mickey seems to be conflicted about giving up Eddie to the extent that he needed to take beta blockers to handle the stress of his double life. Furthermore, House thinks that Chase would be more persuasive than Thirteen when talking to Mickey. And there's the very uncomfortable way Eddie says "the nurses out here can't keep their hands off of me".)

And of course this interaction at the beginning of the episode between House and Thirteen (the only openly queer character on the show) which feels to me like an acknowledgment that House is bisexual (not the only time the show uses Thirteen as an subtle indication of House's bisexuality but that's TED talk for another day).

House: Yes, he won't tell us anything. Understandable, since he's a drug dealer. Thirteen: So he's dangerous and withholding, which you find irresistible. But guys like that, they never call. Which elicits this face and, for once, no snappy comeback:

Listen, I'm not here to prove anybody wrong and of course men can be friends and live together without being in a relationship or queer. But this is a television show written with intent at a time when men couldn't be openly queer on primetime TV. The writers did not have to write Wilson buying a condo for them to live in together in the last episode, they did not have to treat it like a home that they were going to share for an indeterminate amount of time, and they did not need to have them play gay chicken under the guise of 'getting the girl' where the only person they end up going home with is each other. Arguing that this episode is meant to show how House and Wilson were both perfectly straight, rather than a way to clue the audience in that their relationship is anything but, feels like a misinterpretation of the source material. In my opinion. And this is just one episode. Don't even get me started on the organ.

Welcome to Hilson Chicken Games 2!

Our goal is to create more Hilson fanworks about House and Wilson getting together via canon-like shenanigans, such as random hospital wagers, bets and/or gay chickening themselves into a relationship. You are invited to make it as unhinged and hilarious as you can, but angst or any other genres are also fine, as long as it ends on a happy (or at least hopeful) note.

Rules: First and foremost, have fun! 🙂 Create your fic, art, comic, podfic, etc, add it to https://archiveofourown.org/collections/Hilson_Chicken_Games_2_2026 then send a message to [email protected] any time until the 1st of September 2026.

Your contributions will be posted by the mods anonymously on AO3 in the Hilson Chicken Games 2 2026 Collection throughout September, with creator reveals happening on October 1st.

Timeline:

Creation: 1st of June - 31st of August

Submission deadline: 1st of September

SUBMISSIONS OPEN

Posting period: from the 1st of September until we ran out of your contributions

Creator Reveals: 1st of October

FAQ:

Can I submit more than one creation?

Sure! The more, the merrier.

Are there any restrictions?

No crossovers with other fandoms.

No tragic endings or major character deaths.

Main pairing has to include Hilson (poly ships with Hilson +Amber/+Cuddy/+Foreman etc are also welcome!), but no restrictions on any other secondary ships.

Absolutely no AI allowed.

Do I need to sign up anywhere?

Nope, just email us if you have any other questions and add you work to the collection when you are done with your thing.

Can I share this challenge, or hype it up in my circle/community? Reblog, not just like?

That would be awesome, thank you! 🙂

If someone wanted to hurt me they could make a Dying for Sex fic but it’s House and Wilson. I don’t even care if it’s platonic.

Ok wait I just discovered a subgenre of fics where House has to treat characters from other fandoms and how did I not know this was a thing?!?

So far I’ve read fics where he’s treated John Watson (BBC), Sam Winchester, Crowley (Good Omens), and Castiel. PLEASE share if you’ve got crossover recs! EDIT: Links for the needy! Crossover fandom listed in parenthesis. Angel on my Shoulder (Good Omens) by HerMajestyofLichtenstein On Tuesdays We Fall (Supernatural) by HerMajestyofLichtenstein - Complete but author hinted at more stories in this universe coming! Wayward and Cynical (Supernatural) by Radiioblabla - WIP but the first chapter reads like a oneshot (to me at least) I owe you (BBC's Sherlock) by Aradia_ld - WIP
