[Inception] Arthur/Yusuf: A Very Short Reclist
So I was brainstorming for my own fic and considering Arthur/Yusuf as one of the pairings. And because I do like it when a few people actually want to read my stories, I realized I've seen very little A/Y fic out there, which might be some sort of indication that it's not a very popular pairing. And then I started asking about it on Twitter and a bunch of people chimed in and said they ARE interested.
Having mined Pinboard, Delicious, and my own bookmarks, here is my rec list of Arthur/Yusuf fic. I've excluded orgy/gangbang PWPs since A/Y invariably only shows up there as a sideline.
Untitled Kink Meme Fill #1 by iambickilometer. Rated PG-ish. "Rumpled super genius meets slick pointman. Bonus if one or both smoke." Very short commentfic, but nice interaction.
Untitled Kink Meme Fill #2 by chibi_lurrel. PG-13-ish. "He gets to be the dreamer." Another short commentfic. Explores Yusuf's imagination as Arthur takes him on a training run.
Pushing Buttons by kirstenlouise. Rated NC-17. "Yusuf and Arthur don't really get along, but Arthur loves sucking his cock." Hate!sex PWP.
a million miles by vinylroad. Rated adult. "All the men that Yusuf has let into her bed have been a mistake." AU where Yusuf is a woman. This is more Eames/Yusuf than Arthur/Yusuf, but if you like vinylroad's non-linear style and ambiguous relationships you'll love this one.
ETA: Found this when surfing prompts marked unfilled.
Untitled by anon. "Yusuf is a damned good driver. And he's not going to put up with Arthur's constant bitching about his driving on the Fischer job. Just. NO." Except in this fic, Yusuf is a horrible driver. I don't get it. But there is an implied Arthur/Yusuf relationship.
Any other recs?
ETA: Was suggested to include unfilled prompts and then I forgot. So here they are.
Sexy prompts:
Arthur falls in love with Yusuf. It's kind of awkward. but Yusuf realises, okay, he DOES want to tap that (partly because arthur's attempts at grabbing his attention have become more and more slutty), and sex evolves until finally he falls for Arthur too.
Testing new drug on Arthur Yusuf gets more than he expected. "Fuck me, doctor"
Relationshippy prompts:
Yusuf keeps running away, and Arthur is confused.
What did I do to. To deserve all of you? girl!Arthur/girl!Yusuf
I’d like to see YUSUF courting Arthur. Not with any grand gestures or anything; just Yusuf being his shy, sweet, dorky self doing shy, sweet dorky things for Arthur. It would be adorable!
Arthur has a one-sided thing for Yusuf. Eames cheers Arthur.
Friendshippy and plotty prompts:
Arthur and Yusuf. Geeking out/holding two levels of conversation at once.
A Spy AU? Yusuf can be his gadget master who occasionally saves his ass when he's in grave danger despite the fact that he does not do fieldwork?
After work's done for the day they pack up and go back to Arthur's pad, change into sweats, crack open a pint of ice cream and sit on the couch watching soap operas they TiVo'd during the day.
One of the guys just being really adorably sweet and affectionate to Yusuf. All extra touchy feely and little smiles. Maybe more so than they would normally be with anyone else.
