Friday Recs (Let's Get to It)

Class, I have a question: WHERE THE FUCK IS THE INCEPTION MOOD THEME? I know somebody's made one, right? Right? Gah! :(

Here are my recs for the week. As always my Inception recs are Eames/Arthur unless otherwise noted (this week there are two notes)

listed in alphabetical order

conspirators in living by smallacts -- Dear smallacts, your shit is the bomb. F'real. This is a story about Arthur. About where he might've come from and who he'd be. It's absolutely fucking exquisite. When I finished reading it all I could think was, "Oh, this is lovely as hell." Inception fandom doesn't have Canadian shacks (yet -- makes note to self), but we do have beach huts. I am down with this! Totally competent!Arthur and protective!Eames FTFW! \o/

Cuddleslut by meiface -- This is a fill for Inception_Kink, the author says In which Eames doesn't know how to cuddle, Arthur finds himself giving lessons, and arguments are won by cheating.. I just laughed and laughed. It's terribly cute.

The Greedyhearts by anonymous -- ARGHHHHHHHHH! Y'all are killing me with this anonymous business! Stand up writer so I can applaud loudly. Ahem. weatherfront Eames is a thief. A brilliant thief that can't spell (natch). Arthur is a PI. It has it's own website! This story brought me so much glee it could be my favorite thing in Inception fandom yet. Except for y'all. Y'all are pretty groovy. Yeah, I said it.

Grooming by temperance_k -- This is a story about all the ways that your life affects the clothes you wear. Some people may not think that's true, but I firmly believe that what you wear tells you everything about where you're at in your life. Shabby, sharp, matching, messy, it's all an extension of something greater.

I Believe In Your Victory by pyrimidine -- You guys remember, like, last week (I know it was a long time ago, I feel you), when I was screaming from the rooftops about pyrimidine's Inception Fill of M' from James Bond as Eames' mom and how I would cry and rend my garments and leap from tall buildings if she didn't write more. Sometimes, if you are very very good and pick a lot of pockets, you get what you want. She wrote more. It is utterly utterly awesome. I draw sparkly hearts.

Inception Kink Fill: Saito Wooing Robert by temperance_k -- This is not Arthur/Eames, this is Robert/Saito. A pairing I have been eyeballing with great curiosity pretty much from the jump because the idea of Cillian Murphy and Ken Watanabe together makes my palm sweat. No, for real. Take a minute. Consider this. Yeah, exactly. maurheti and I have been tossing ideas back and forth like two performing seals trying to figure out how to spin this. How I think the Inception maybe wasn't all business-related. I think I'm going to be writing this soon. In short, if you have any more of this stuff lying around, PLZ TO BRING IT AT ONCE.

Inception Kink Fill About Mistakes again by anonymous ARGHHHHH! Ahem. Yeah, I'm not even going to summarize this. It's less than 100 words and will probably leave you poleaxed on the floor. Or as I told the author, "I don't know what I was expecting and then suddenly it was like being slapped with a cold fish! A cold *frozen* fish!"

Lazy British Summer by fandomatemylife -- Just what it says on the tin. And more. Eames falls in love with Arthur's bare feet. There is cricket and Henry Blofield (lazlet this is so you). There are sand castles and happy Cobbs and Arthur with his sleeves rolled up and fish and chips (I need chips now *sobs*) it's just really fucking happy and sometimes poignant and really sweet and I liked it. Deal with it :-)

Leading with my heart by acidpop25 -- The author's summary is Arthur may be asexual, but he and Eames are in love all the same.. I'd never read anything like this before, it's quiet and beautiful and I very much enjoyed it.

ETA: Mr. Eames' List by chn_breathmint -- Everybody knows about Skippy's List,i.e. Skippy’s List: The 213 things Skippy is no longer allowed to do in the U.S. Army right? So imagine if that list existed for Eames. And it included dollar bills in Arthur's braces (suspenders) and Rick-Rolling. 39. I am not Ali G. 40. Nor am I Borat.Comedy Gold!



This week we are also graced with a couple ART RECS (Whoo! Yay! \o/ Art!)

This is a Kick by FullMetalPyrate. I actually plan on using that phrase for a story at some point. I really loved the colors in this.

Adorable Eames and Arthur by Hereinneverland on Tumblr

Dreaming in a Dream of a Dream. My reaction upon seeing this was OH MY FUCKING GOD, THIS IS THE MOST SPECTACULAR THING EVER. Yeah, in all caps. I talk real loud sometimes.

This piece is so badass I don't even know what to say via Radioactivecake on Tumblr


I have no idea who any of these people are if they are on LJ, so if you know, holler at your girl.

If you enjoy the stories, please let the authors know. Authors need love and support and water to grow.
