Time to change it up

[hackthis_archive]

Ladies and Gents, I have a task for you, should you choose to accept it. I want you to bring me your Inception story recs. WAIT. Hear the assignment:

Bring me your story recommendations. But I do not want Arthur or Eames. Nor do I want Arthur/Eames. I want Yusuf fic. I want Yusuf/Ariadne fic. I want your Saito fic and your Fischer fic; I want your Saito/Fischer fic. Hell, if it's really fucking good I might even read your Saito/Cobb.

But again, no Arthur/Eames, no Ariadne/Cobb, no Arthur/Ariadne or permutations there of. I want to see what else this fandom has going on.

And I don't just want the stories. I want art. I want vids. I want it all.

Arthur, Eames, Ariadne, Cobb, they can be background characters, but they shouldn't be central, unless it's like Eames + Yusuf = BFF 4eva fic. That is okay. That is more than okay, but otherwise, just what I stated above. I know it's out there, so help me find it.

Right now all I have is:
fahye's OH&S (Yusuf-centric)
o_chan's Yusuf art
blue_phlox's Saito art
temperance_k's Untitled Robert/Saito
Yusuf origins fic by anonymous
Yusuf's Tin Hat by anonymous ♥

HELP A SISTER HELP YOU OUT!

I really enjoyed parka_girl's In Between the Day and the Night, which is Yusuf/Fischer.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

You! I was going to give you a cookie for this, and then below pyramidine is all blah blah blah jibrailis wrote Yusuf background and now instead of a cookie you get a kick in the shin for not telling me first!

[jibrailis.livejournal.com]

My cookie! My shin!

haha, well you asked for recs, and I can't go around reccing myself. That would just be embarrassing!

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I give you a cookie for your shin. Yes.

ETA: And I read that story. SO AWESOME. Yis.

[pyrimidine.livejournal.com]

Gurl, read these: Small Song by jibrailis (Yusuf backstory!) and Oxidants Happen by handsomespeck (Eames/Yusuf)

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I draw sparkly hearts around you for this (and for that story you posted today, which now may be my favorite Inception story ever. Trufax. Stop looking at me like I'm lying. I'm telling the truth!)

[pyrimidine.livejournal.com]

I'm totally looking at you like that, pffffffft

Re: Saito/Robert

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

Re: Ariadne, Yusuf gen

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I just read it, it was AWESOME. Thanks.

[sumofparts.livejournal.com]

Can't remember if I saw these in one of your rec lists; if yes, sorry but here they are again.

Five Unexpected Things That Happened at the First Annual Eid al-Fitr/Rosh HaShana Company Party (gen fic)
http://marina.dreamwidth.org/964984.html

Cities of Sand (Inception/Sandman crossover comic)
http://tongari.livejournal.com/353730.html

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much!

[silverotter.livejournal.com]

I really should have more of these. I've read more of these, but either I didn't bookmark them, or my bookmark is so vague that I have no idea what it is.

Also it's possible that you rec'd like 80 percent of these, and I just don't remember. So. Sorry.

First and foremost:

Map the Sounds of Tokyo (http://fermine.livejournal.com/5093.html) by fermine, which is an AU where Robert is the new gaijin at Saito's company. (Saito/Robert)

Next,

Against All Odds (http://community.livejournal.com/inception_kink/4946.html?thread=5998674#t5998674) by anonymous. It's Yusef/Saito, and my bookmark says, "this is actually...really sweet.".

And, balls, I have two nice Yusuf fics, but they're Yusuf/Eames, so skipping those two...

Untitled Saito/Robert (http://community.livejournal.com/inception_kink/7339.html?thread=19368107#t19368107) by anonymous, in which Robert has a cold, and Saito stays home with him to watch soap operas. Pure, unadulterated fluff.

And then one which I'm almost certain you recommended, which is:

The Strange and Unexpected Life of Robert Fischer, DMV (http://solarcat05.livejournal.com/23395.html) by solarcat05.

And then this is OT7, but it's awesomesauce to the extreme extreme, if only for the amount of research put into it:

Celebrate (http://acidpop25.livejournal.com/287852.html) by acidpop25

This really is ridiculous. I know I have more somewhere. I'll be back, hopefully.

EDIT EDIT EDIT.

Okay, here is all the Saito, Robert, and Robert/Saito art that johanirae has done:

Robert and his Pinwheel (http://johanirae.livejournal.com/362098.html#cutid1)
Robert being a kind of flirty, slutty GQMF. (http://johanirae.livejournal.com/362980.html#cutid1)
Four different Robert/Saito hugs. (http://johanirae.livejournal.com/364756.html#cutid1)
Cufflink kink, and Robert with a kitten, which is based off a fic I'll get to a in a second. (http://johanirae.livejournal.com/359555.html#cutid1)
Original Robert/Saito comic, with some side Robert/Eames, sort of. (http://johanirae.livejournal.com/361907.html#cutid1)
Robert/Ariadne comic. (http://johanirae.livejournal.com/349611.html#cutid1)
Saito always wanted a geisha of his own. (Robert/Saito) (http://johanirae.livejournal.com/351449.html#cutid1)
Further geisha comic. (http://johanirae.livejournal.com/352064.html#cutid1)

Okay, this is actually NOT the kitten fic that the comic was based on, but it is a short Robert-centric fill.

A Squeak in the Night (http://community.livejournal.com/inception_kink/5987.html?thread=8676707#t8676707) by zoi_no_miko.

EDIT NUMBER TWO EDIT NUMBER TWO NUMBER TWO

Right, fuck it all, you need:

Penrose Nachos (http://community.livejournal.com/inception_kink/4946.html?thread=6555730#t6555730) by dwg, which features Yusuf in conjunction with Eames, sort of. Just read it. It's short.

Waiting (http://12gatsunohime.livejournal.com/54106.html#cutid1) by 12gatsunohime, in which the team is waiting in line for the iPad and Robert and Saito are inexplicably there. Robert is very chill in this.

Arthur and Cobb are riding pandas into the motherfucking sunset mate. (http://community.livejournal.com/inception_kink/4946.html?thread=6026322#t6026322) by concinnity_blue.

Okay. I think I'm done now.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

You have been an insanely busy little bee today! Thank you for all of your work :)

[figletofvenice.livejournal.com]

how about high-hearted, by recrudescence? it's eames/yusuf! in which there is much drug use! pretty enjoyable.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I will check it out, thanks!

[figletofvenice.livejournal.com]

OH, also, there was a fill on the meme for girl!yusuf, which I thoroughly enjoyed. er, it was also my prompt, but that is neither here nor there.

it's here if you want to read it!

[laria-gwyn.livejournal.com]

addandsubtract wrote Fischer/Arthur zombie apocalypse fic over here (http://addandsubtract.livejournal.com/52862.html) and it is glorious.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Isn't jibrailis' story awesome? I just read it and will totally read the others you rec'd. Also, I see pyramidine linked to some of your stuff, so I'm looking forward to that :)

[jibrailis.livejournal.com]

*flies by and scoops you into my arms*

Let's snuggle. I just read your fic Oxidants Happen and it blew me away into happy smithereens.

[dumbimps.livejournal.com]

Here is a great Yusuf appreciation post with recs (http://effex.dreamwidth.org/90794.html)!

[drunkoffthestars]

\o/ I wanted to post that, but had it open in a tab on my home computer and defs forgot to bookmark!

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

SWEETNESS!

[o-chan.livejournal.com]

I have no fics. but I have this:

There's an inside joke on tumblr that Yusuf is a DJ and and.. yeah, IDEK.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Yusuf is totally a wizard on the 1s and 2s. I believe this.

[kismeteve.livejournal.com]

Everyone else has pretty much hit all the big ones, but this is the first Yusuf fic I read, and I loved it. I also enjoyed yakbites's (C2H5)2O (http://yakbites.livejournal.com/39492.html). (Yusuf's my favorite.)

For Fischer, I enjoyed This Would've Never Happened To Paul Newman (http://ladyofspring.livejournal.com/37348.html). (http://community.livejournal.com/inception_kink/756.html?thread=1558004#t1558004)

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[polaris-starz.livejournal.com]

Counting Stars on the Ceiling (http://evocates.livejournal.com/164847.html), by evocates, is Robert/Saito and it's incredibly gorgeous. This pairing intrigues me and I would love to find more fic for it.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I will check it out, thanks!

[frabjously.livejournal.com]

Réclame (http://recrudescence.livejournal.com/292468.html) by recrudescence is Eames/Yusuf

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[johanirae.livejournal.com]

Fanart:

alessa0_0 has some lovely Saito/Fischer fanarts. I think she got down Cillian's and Ken's likeness quite while keeping her style:

http://alessa0-0.livejournal.com/tag/fan%20art

Fanfic:

http://community.livejournal.com/inksomnium/4768.html
- This one is definitely one of my favs. Post movie, where Browning has taken out a Dream Hit on Robert, and Cobb rescues him. The author builds on the Nolan universe and creates a very tense, dramatic fic.

http://evocates.livejournal.com/164847.html
- a great post movie fic, with Fischer dismantling his father's legacy and creating his own with Saito's help.(but more importantly NOT descending into a drunken emo because of it)

http://starkraves.livejournal.com/5232.html
- ...although I think you recc-ed this yourself too...Bad-ass!Fischer confronts Cobb. I really hope the author continues this fic.

http://community.livejournal.com/inksomnium/5240.html
- A brilliant Cobb/Fischer fic, where Cobb has taken to stalking Fischer after the Inception

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Thank you, bb!

ETA: And yeah, I did rec that Robert fic from starkraves. It's all good :)

[billradish.livejournal.com]

Yusuf art (http://darthneko.livejournal.com/1546138.html) by darthneko, but that's all I have to offer for this.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I actually already have that in my to rec list for this Friday :)

[feverblue (from livejournal.com)]

I haven't read it yet but mine i'll leave to chance by bossymarmalade is Yusuf/Eames.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[vanitashaze.livejournal.com]

This is surprisingly (and upsettingly) hard! Even more so because it seems my bookmarks have gone MIA. Some of these are more ensemble, and many of them are about the least-written-about characters through the most-written-about characters' perspective. But some are not.

Untitled (http://community.livejournal.com/inception_kink/756.html?thread=1558004#t1558004) by anonymous. Yusuf gen. Counting scars.

Réclame (http://recrudescence.livejournal.com/292468.html) by recrudescence; Eames/Yusuf. It isn't so much that you're a criminal, but you are a very willing accessory to a multitude of crimes. Eames says this is utter bollocks and, of course, he's right. But for the sake of your conscience, you ignore him.

Not Just Any Tourist (http://archiveofourown.org/works/107909) by white_aster; Eames and Saito. Eames considered himself a suspicious man. Reasonable, but suspicious. He'd seen and replicated too much of human nature to trust anyone out of the box, so to speak. In which Eames picks a fight and gets more than he bargained for.

With Hidden Noise (http://archiveofourown.org/works/107014) by thereisafire; ensemble gen. The story of everyone's totems.

It's a Fine Day (http://archiveofourown.org/works/106196) by sabinelagrande; ensemble gen. Shortly after the end. The day after the inception job.

this place is on a mission (http://archiveofourown.org/works/121083) by torches; Yusuf gen, drabble. Yusuf learned how to be a chemist from his mother.

mine i'll leave to chance (http://archiveofourown.org/works/121658) by bossymarmalade; Eames/Yusuf. Of all the senses, this one might be the hardest to pin down. Semi-synesthesic porn.

Five Unexpected Things That Happened at the First Annual Eid al-Fitr/Rosh HaShana Company Party (http://archiveofourown.org/works/114170) by marina; ensemble gen. Cute and funny, and more or less what it says on the tin.

The Replacements (http://archiveofourown.org/works/108750) by lithiumdoll; ensemble gen. "I'm going to kill them," Ariadne said flatly when the line finally picked up. "They're dead men. Yusuf's pretty confident he's planned the perfect murder and Saito's promised to cover the legal fees just in case, so I thought you'd like the chance to say your goodbyes." In which the team has some trouble finding a new extractor, and Yusuf has a former fiance who may or may not want to kill him.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Sweetness! Thanks :)

ETA: And I really like The Replacements. I rec'd it last month at some point,

[vanitashaze.livejournal.com]

Whoops!

[eppic.livejournal.com]

recrudescence has a whole mess of amazing Yusuf/Eames fic that I highly recommend. Her tag is here (http://recrudescence.livejournal.com/tag/yusuf%2Feames).

[eppic.livejournal.com]

Also, (C2H5)2O (http://yakbites.livejournal.com/39492.html) by yakbites is a lovely gen peice about Yusuf's origins.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[candidlily.livejournal.com]

Yessss I am also looking for everything you are looking for. I will be stalking this post. :D

[chrismm.livejournal.com]
