Somewhere between 10 and 20 subspace/headspace recs (Inception, SGA)

Square 1: Ageplay Recs
Square 2: Food Recs
Square 3: Vehicular Recs
Square 4: Subspace/Headspace Recs
Square 5: Verbal Humiliation Recs

I'm going with a straightforward interpretation on this one: Stories that do well at depicting characters sliding into a place in their heads where they can just be during sex, where it is about flow and not

I read this post right before sleep yesterday and it made me grin and grin. I love your recs omg. <3 Thank you.

Oh, good! I'm very glad (and glad someone read it, heh).

Ooooh thank you. Subspace is one of my faaavorites ♥. (And the best way you could have used to get me to read Inception so far! :D)

I have a few Bandom recs, but I am too tired to dig them all up right now. BUT, my first go to one would probably be fictionalaspect's Amateur Cartography, a story about Brendon slowly figuring out his kinks through (what begins at least as a) non-sexual D/s relationship with Spencer, who agrees to help Brendon experience subbing, since it's safer than with a stranger, and Spencer has some experience from before. Brendon's excited and nervous and doesn't even know he's going to go under until he does, and it's amazing, and keeps getting better, with lots of long, detailed scenes followed by aftercare. The first time, before they even start doing anything, Spencer just ties Brendon up, as a sort of test, for fifteen minutes. It takes Brendon time to relax, but finally he just slips under, without even knowing what it means yet:

Spencer opens the door and crosses the room quietly, at fifteen minutes on the dot. "Hey,"

Wow, what a great post, those are my favorite Inception fics by far so clearly we are on the same wavelength.

I think you might like Shaenie's Lotrips Convergence series, especially chapter 3 from the sub's POV, Catalyst:

"Tell me what you saw, Dominic. Tell me what brought you in here, all locked and cocked and ready to go off. Tell me what I want to know," Billy's tongue was hot and persuasive against Dom's jaw, "and I'll fuck you 'til you scream."

Dom shuddered at that, at the offer of it, the way Billy's voice was like some thick, rich liquid, clinging to Dom's skin, something hot, burning him, making him whimper and twitch, and Dom never felt helpless, like this. Not quite. It was neither helpless nor powerful; it was both, some kind of twisted combination that Dom needed and there had never been anyone better at giving it to him than Billy. And he wanted to give in, wanted to, yes, but there was that other need, too, the need to push back, and Billy knew how to give him that, too.

Great recs -- love your comments. Not surprised to find that I've read all the Inception stories you rec'd :) The way that different writers convey headspace is fascinating, and I think the stories you chose are all wonderful and show different facets of the headspace/subspace concept.

Hi! thanks for the rec of Something to Remind You. I wanted to let you know that it is available on AO3 now, for those who don't want to deal with friending. The sequel is available as well.
