Summary
On the House "What-If" Rec List we share some of our favorite House, M.D. fics, 'verses, and authors that form a genre we call "What-If." Stories range from wildly fantastical to essentially realistic, but all depart significantly from canon reality.
In our review of the literature (over 1,000 works), several categories presented themselves:
After Death/Afterlife
Allegory
Alternate Governance
Alternate Personal History
Alternate Time Period
Alternate World History
Amnesiac Odyssey
Creatures/Mythical Beings
Crossover Elements
Deity Chat
Human Variation
Life-Altering Events
Magical Realism
Parallel Universe
Powers
Recovery Fic
Science Fiction
Transmogrification
Wishful ThinkingHere are the definitions of those categories that guided us in selecting over a hundred high-caliber works for the rec list.

Here's what we have in mind for the following:
