Out of utter curiosity, if I was chained up in your attic (I prefer attics, basements are damp and cold, attics theoretically at least have windows), and I had to write you one story, what would you request? (demand?) Or alternatively, what's something you always hoped I'd write but know is never going to happen?

I have a most excellent attic. *ponders the possibilities* I think I'd want some sort of modern-ish AU with Morgana and Gwen as wartime journalists (or one of them could write, the other take photos) paired together on assignment. Or they could be detectives. In London. In the 40's.

[nearuncertainty.livejournal.com]

I dont have an attic so i'm going to borrow Harborshore's. I love the idea of Morgana and Gwen in London as detective.

In all fairness to my respect for you as a writer, the manacles would have a fur lining, and there would be air-conditioning and a soft cushion and a full fridge at least in my attic!

You know, the Chronicles of Ari are missed tremendously. Yes.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Ari has been on strike and will not talk to me. You wouldn't believe the amount of wooing I've been engaging in over the last six months.

[ilovetakahana.livejournal.com]

Eames and Arthur, all guns blazing, being badass and bantering in the middle of a firefight. Bonus points for someone, pref Ariadne or Yusuf, shrieking "Less flirting more saving our asses!"

XDXDXD

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

There's something like that coming tomorrow, but I will keep it in mind ;)

[sorrynotsorry.livejournal.com]

A very intense Inception spy AU. Full of guns and hot cars and fabulous suits! And, most importantly, awesome banter. (There are some spy AUs out there BUT I CAN NEVER GET ENOUGH.)

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Guns, hot cars and fabulous suits, I feel like that been my entire ouvre in some respects. Actually, it really has. Smallville was cars, GK was guns and suits were, well, wherever I can shoehorn them in :)

[musesfool.livejournal.com]

You could write the Danny/Rusty v. Arthur/Eames monthly poker game.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I see what you did there.

[silverotter.livejournal.com]

A continuation of what me and sschapstickk refer to as the Incredibly True Adventures of Ari Gold. Basically, anything in that George/Anderson/Brad/Matt/Ari/Lloyd/Viggo/etc universe. /livinginhope

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Keep hope alive, bb!

[reinventweather.livejournal.com]

Apparently because I'm a masochist, I'd want Tse Atcai Aela from Eames's POV. JUST THINKING ABOUT THE ANGST HAS ME SADFACING.

[chn-breathmint.livejournal.com]

I second this, for reasons unknown even to me - I just think that it was so depressing and elegiac that a bookend to it would be pretty interesting.

Eames/Fischer! next silly question?

Or just Fischer getting on with his life after the inception and being *better* for it. Having made his peace over his father and... just being a total bamf about it.

Not that I don't love your Arthur/Eames. Because I do - lots!

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

(It would be pretty shiny.)

[cyberrubis.livejournal.com]

Neverending Saga of Old Money Eames (and his dear Duchess Mother) and Arthur. Anything based on this will do (hearts in my eyes)

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Olivia loves you too.

[puckling.livejournal.com]

I don't have an attic, but I *do* have a very spacious storage closet! No windows I'm afraid though.

Despite my lack of attic, I would probably want Brad/Nate, run up to the 2016 election.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Awwww.

[cobweb-diamond.livejournal.com]

Where is the story where Eames canonically slept with George Clooney at some point? And kept in touch? And Clooney is totally aware that he's a con man?

That is what I want to know.

[dremiel.livejournal.com]

Ooooh. This.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

Seriously?

Harry Potter/Inception crossover. (Possibly Blaise/Robert but I wouldn't be picky.)

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

You know what's really funny? I have this file in my folder. The only WIP I have (if I can't write it I 86 it), but this file has your name on. No, really, it has your name on it and all this clamoring for George and Ari and Inception in this post. It made some things jump start. Go figure. ;)

[vulpesvortex.livejournal.com]

Arthur/Eames noir AU inspired by fanlay's art <3

But really, anything you'd feel like writing while trapped in my attic would be deeply treasured and squeed over.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I feel like I do not have the required skill set of awesome to do justice to fanlay's art I must confess.

[cmonkatiekatie.livejournal.com]

There's too many options! I can't decide! There would be banter and neat destinations and a lot of wine though. And it would be Eames and Arthur, and yeah. Too many options.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I have destination fic for tomorrow and other destination fic that has to be rehashed. I will get some wine in there just for you.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I have an Ari meets the Inception boys story in the docket. It's just being very very contrary.

[dine.livejournal.com]

an epic mash-up of Southland and Generation Kill, wherein Brad & Nate go to LA and somehow meet Cooper & Sherman and hijinks ensue

[lady-lurker.livejournal.com]

THIS. So much!

[mahaliem.livejournal.com]

I'd love for you to write a story, or a ficlet, or even a drabble where Ari Gold becomes a vampire and no one notices.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

No one would notice! In fact, if he turned into a vampire, his body temperature might increase a few degrees. Oh my god, would he be a sparkly vampire? ARI WOULD HATE THAT SO MUCH. Mrs. Ari would totally have to remove all the wood in the house so Ari didn't just stab himself in irritation one day.

[foxxcub.livejournal.com]

I've kind of wanted to know how you'd write an Arthur/Eames story told from Ariadne's POV...

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Alas, I do not like Ariadne much, but I have been thinking about something like this from Yusuf's POV.

[eaconwell.livejournal.com]

an adorable fluff adventure story where arthur and eames turn into puppies (who can't talk, obviously) because one of yusuf's chemicals had unexpected side effects.

lol, you asked for one you would never ever write :P


ummmm, a bit more realistic? h/c, after a job goes pear shaped, there was one terrifying moment where arthur thought that eames died. it was barely a second, and then they're up and running again. but then that night, arthur goes off on his own to break down (and actually cry) because he was terrified that eames was gone, and now he's terrified that he cares about him as much as he does. and then of course eames finds him and lots of comforting and cuddly love-making ensues where eames promises that he's not going anywhere. and/or that arhtur couldn't get rid of him if he tried :)


i'm sorry if these are weird or stupid, i got exactly twenty minutes of sleep last night and just got out of a cognitive psychology test that just ate my soul. and i am now going to nap forever, dreaming of arhtur and eames.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Psychology always eats the soul, that's how it stays so fit! Soul eating! I hope you've got some sleep now. :)

[drowning-london.livejournal.com]

smexy/happy Arthur/Eames of course! :D :D :D

I wouldn't say you in particular, but have you ever watched Dexter? A part of me (I would say small, but it's not) really wants to have the first season re-written to slash Dexter and Brian. I'm a bad, bad person... :p

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I absolutely watch Dexter, but I cannot imagine writing it. It's a rather... peculiar item to work with.

[acroamatica.livejournal.com]

You would not like my attic. My basement at least has the advantage of being warm, but probably you would not like it very much either. "Chained up in the living room" just doesn't have the same ring to it though. *ponders*

See, I'm having trouble answering this, because your particular talent as far as I'm concerned is writing stories I didn't know I needed desperately to read until you post them and I spend a week going "THIS. I LOVE THIS. THIS IS SO COMPLETELY GREAT." So logically, what I should do is just keep you supplied with all the things that make you a Happy Writer, and I'll get my wish, right?

That said, if opinions must be squeezed out of me, although I have at least liked everything you've written since 2004:
- I miss Ari sometimes. Love that magnificent bastard.
- There is no way to go wrong with any possible Arthur/Eames, imho.
- If I were going to drag you into something you may or may not already know and/or like, I really wonder what you would do with Lord Peter Wimsey. He's one of my favourite fictional characters of all time, and I think more people should write Sayers fanfic, except that I recognise it's a nearly impossible challenge for mere mortals. So you should be just fine! :D

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww. :)

I must confess that I have an Ari meets the Inception team story that's been rather stalled, but all this Ari and George talk in this post is sort of reinvigorating the idea.

[umino-gaara.livejournal.com]

How about Arthur (or who ever you like) has a second personality (MPD). The second personality is able to function separately from the original personality when in the dream-scape (i.e. works with the team not against).

[innueneko.livejournal.com]

Gaah um if you did this prompt (http://community.livejournal.com/inception_kink/11941.html?thread=25681317#t25681317) I would probably die of happiness!

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I was going to tell you that I read a story about this a while back where Eames, Yusuf and Ariadne are in a band and Arthur's the reporter following them, but I don't remember who wrote it. BUT! I see you already have somebody filling the story. So I shall go read that at once :)

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I actually wrote Draco and Theodore a long long time ago. It's what got me started on Theodore and Neville.
