Birthdays are for Celebrating!
Hooomahgawd, guys, it's been ONE YEAR!!
Words can not properly describe the happy that this fandom makes me every single day of my otherwise silly existence.
For serious. I am effing psyched that I get to interact with such boner-ific writers and artists and lovely and intelligent and funny-as-fuck people on an everyday basis. And I am so so happy that I have an excuse to write about two of the most wonderful imaginary human beings in the whole wide world.
The second time I saw the film (about two weeks after it came out :) ), I was seriously looking around the theater after every one of Arthur and Eames's scenes together being like "IS ANYONE ELSE SEEING THIS?!?!"
Then I went home and dug through the interwebs for confirmation of my STRONG FEELINGS about this pairing. And then I found this piece of beautiful and knew I wasn't along in the world.
I lurked in this fandom for a good six months, just reading everything I could get my eyeballs on. Drooling over gyzym's Domestic 'Verse and imogenedisease's Military 'Verse and ESPECIALLY jeannedecarnin's Rebellion 'Verse which OWNS MY HEART.
What I really want to share with you, however, are the fics that just sucker punched me right IN THE FACE with their awesomeness. Fics that are my personal favorites and that I think just NAILED IT.
I know, I know, everyone has one majillion fics to read right now because of ae_match, but I've always wanted an excuse to do a giant rec post, and now is the perfect time because it's Inception's birthday, and- Whatever. I DO WHAT I WANT.
Lovely, Romantic, Semi-Epic Love Stories That You Will Stay Up Until 3:34 am to Read Because They Are Fucking ACES:
The Waking Years by weatherfront I just want to sit down cross-legged in front of weatherfront all the time and have her tell me ALL THE STORIES.
si vis pacem, para bellum by hackthis Where did hackthis go?!?! I miss her. Pretty much ALL of her stories deserve to be read over and over and over... This is a How They Meet fic.
Let Not My Love Be Called Idolatry by toomuchplor My favorite high school au. Period. Awkward and sexy and wistful and just REAL.
This is All There Is, Roll the Dice by wanderlight Like Mary Poppins: practically perfect in every way. Another How They Meet fic.
Words Are Not Enough by canyousayhot Arthur and Eames get together over text messaging. I sort of have a HUGE talking kink. This had me reaching for a cigarette several times.
Takes an Ocean Not to Break by cmonkatiekatie Arthur and Eames fall in love over the phone. Perfect ending. PERFECT. As anatsuno said in the comments: "Falling is like this. Yes."
Caviar and Cigarettes by my_0wn_madness Arthur is underage. Eames is Arthur's landlord. This one FLOORED me with its relationship development. I don't know what it is about everything that my_0wn_madness writes... but DAMN. I think it's the fact that she writes straight-up, no bullshit SOLID prose. Love Notes on Their Headstones is another AMAZING fic of hers.
laceymcbain 's ENTIRE Military 'Verse. The DEFINITION of romantic.
Super Hot Porny Porn Goodness
Why Betting Eames That He Can't Seduce His Way Into the White House Is a Bad Idea - Or a Really Good One by janonny Fucking filthy webcam sex. I give this fic one thousand dildos of approval.
Savage by eternalsojourn In the words of Ludacris: "ROUGH SEX! Make it HURT!"
Leave Your Heat Anchored in the Dust by cherryvanilla Eames is built like a brick shithouse and Arthur loves it.
All Promise Outruns Performance by withlightning Reunion sex!!
This Could Be Our Reward by five_ht Eames coaxes Arthur into multiple orgasms BECAUSE HE CARES.
All Our Wires Got Crossed by five_ht Feelings and porn and then more feelings and then more porn.
Bare-Knuckle by sparrow_hubris There will be come and blood oozing off your computer screen once you're done reading this.
Fics That Made It Rain on My Face:
A Cossack in Odessa by hesselives Some of my favorite poetry was stuff written during, between and immediately after World Wars I and II. This story hits the same note for me. Eames is a German soldier and Arthur is a Cossack.
Ne Me Quitte Pas by black_betty_26 Eames goes off to fight in World War II and Arthur is left behind. This fic ASTOUNDS me with the way it captures the feeling of the era and makes everything feel so real and immediate.
World Enough and Time by the_grynne I cried buckets.
The Red Lantern by veritas_nescio Romantic, subtle, gorgeous, romantic.
My Favorite Piece of Crack Ever:
The One Where They're Both Flamingos by torra
Happy Saturday, Lovelies!!
