I've written fanfic. Hooboy. I need feedback on this one, because seriously, what the fuck.

Title: Lions and Tigers
Fandom: Inception/Calvin & Hobbes (and yet, not crack. D:)
Characters: Arthur/Eames, with appearances by various and sundry other characters
Warnings: sex (between consenting adults!), mention of past character death. Um, some

I'm not sure if I'm actually of help always fawning over your writing but I think you took that wtf?-concept and made something really adorable yet sincere from it.
The last scene of them together is so frigging intense. I love it.
I haven't got time this evening for in-depth feedback but if you have certain parts you're unsure about you can send me an IM.

I think I'm just going to go ahead and post it to the comms. I've been editing this for the last two days - until last night, that conversation about childhood took place in central park instead of a car chase -

Thank you, though! You are, as always, too kind. And it's always reassuring to hear that this isn't incoherent.

OMG. I cannot textually render my love for this. Eames was so totally Calvin as a child. And...and...just...yes. Thank you for this. It is amazing.

[starlingthefool]

You're welcome! Thank you for reading it.

I love Calvin and Hobbes, and when I was a kid I used to pretend like Calvin about being a dinosaur and such... I was quite surprised to see it come up in Inception! I think you did it massive amounts of justice though. :D I loved the details like Eames's box of secrets, and his interaction with Arthur was super-intense and wonderful.

I always pretended I was a lion instead of a dinosaur. My poor dog had to contend with being a gazelle.

And I really have no idea where this fic came from, the premise just pounced on me while I was at work a couple weeks ago. I'm glad it worked for you!

This is really good. I don't know how you managed to pull of this crossover, but it completely worked. Great job!

[starlingthefool]

I... honestly don't know either. This idea just kind of snuck up on me and refused to let me go.
Thank you!

I just wanted to add I've read this, like, ten times since you posted it. Everything you write is always so good.

[starlingthefool]

This comment is doing really wonderful/terrible things to my ego. Eep.

I confess I was skeptical when I read your "not crack" note but you are absolutely correct! This is DELIGHTFUL! and I love you Arthur-voice! What a great treat for the end of the year!

I really intended to make this crack, but I'm apparently incapable of writing fic that isn't (mostly) srs bzns.

Anyway, thank you!
