Friday Recs (the FML edition)
You ever tried to put a rec list together after your laptop died for the... third time, and all you can think is fuck my fucking life? Probably not. I don't recommend it. How am I posting this shit? With goddamn smoke signals and a fucking stolen laptop. Don't try this shit at home, children.
Art Recs
Missing Marketing Art for Inception by thisisnotbruce -- So Warner Brothers made art for every other team member but Yusuf. I AM NOT OKAY WITH THAT. *thinks of blood pressure* Thankfully, thisisnotbruce rectified that. High five.
More Inception Care Bears Art by aredblush -- There is a pretty pretty princess crown with Grumpy Bear Arthur's name on it. In conclusion? \o/!!!!
Pulp by fanlay -- This is THE art. The art we have all been waiting out entire lives for. For reals. The color, the body language. The bruises on Eames' knuckles and Arthur's face. The way she did the lighting. The lines, the coloring, the shading, oh my god. *swoons*
Saito Art by blue_phlox -- Oh my god, the colors in this are exquisite. Also, I think the tattoo it's now my new fanon. Like for real. This. Yes.
And, because I am admittedly super fucking biased johanirae made art for my story just because a man visits another man doesn't mean they're doing anything illegal (yet) which is AWESOME. AND. AND. loobeeinthesky made art for my story j'veux ton amour, et je m'en fous d'après because she is awesome, too. And I gotta say for a horrible fucking week, y'all are making it way better.
Fic Recs
Give Me The Number (If You Can Find It) by ifeelbetter -- Eames and Arthur switch phones by mistake, but this story is really about what your phone says about you. Your apps, your texts, they are all hints about who you are as a person. Also, better wooing through concrete shoes, y'all. What do you mean I'm a twisted fucker. Did you not know this? I feel like this is not news.
Incipit by thehoyden -- I assume y'all have read this already; I mean I'm pretty sure my vicar has read this one. Well, he or she would've if I was religious and like went to church. Or whatever. If you haven't read this I can only assume your laptop bit the big one this week too: Eames is a brilliant writer and Arthur is his long suffering editor. Yes, it's as good as everyone says. Actually, no. IT'S BETTER. AND. They go to Munich. Win-win all around.
make a home from a rented house by smallacts -- I haven't been in a fandom where fake!marriage was a trope... uh, probably ever. What, that just didn't happen in my fandoms. Deal, bitches. So seeing this in Inception is a novelty to me. An awesome one. Except for when Arthur is being a prat.
Nice Shoes, Wanna... by pyrimidine -- Arthur is very protective of his property -- even when it's not his property. Contains what is one of the hottest threats against someone's livelihood that I've heard in a long time. I don't even know, I suspect Arthur reading the phone book is hot and I plan to test out that theory in the story I owe cmonkatiekatie (no, darling, I've not forgot about you).
protect this house by atomicskull -- It's Fashion Week and Eames and Arthur are very interested in the goings on. Okay, first of all whatever you think it's about, it's only kind of about that. Really it's about relationships and being in love and how there's really no such thing as the right time, but there is right now. Oh and it has Simon Spurr. So you know, I had to rec it based on that alone.
Technically a Virtue by
mirabella -- Okay, so see what had happened was somebody was all, "hey, this is a story about fairy wings" but I'm not a fairy wing person so I emailed sparky77 and said, "It has wings; you will love it" (cause she's REALLY into that sort of stuff) And then I went and read it anyway and what I told Q is very true, "It has wings, you will love it."
this life looks good on you, by gyzym -- I don't even know who gyzym is or where he or she came from, but one minute there was no gyzym and suddenly this person shows up and is all GOTCHA, BITCHES! In this story Arthur has three rules for cohabiting; Eames only has one. Several weeks ago someone blamed me for this whole 'Arthur can't cook' hook in fanon. I do not have that much power, but you know, if it produces stories like this -- go ahead and blame me. I'll just have to turn him into Marcus Samuelsson in my next story (or six).
Also by gyzym (who wins mad points for the mosty hysterical LJ name in a while) A Whole New World, where Arthur is a very reluctant Disney Princess and i thought of you and where you'd gone, which has two the most enjoyable closing lines I've read all week.
Video(s) of the Week
Finally, the Arthur/Eames videos have started to roll in, and oh my fucking lord, they are BOSS. People are drawing from Joe and Tom's retinue and there's The Take and (500) Days and RocknRolla and all kinds of shit up in here. LONG LIVE THE VIDDERS, PEOPLE!

As always, you know the deal: you like the work, show the creator some love. Artists and writers and vidders need love just like your blow-up dolls and life-sized JGL cut-outs
