Dean/Carter rec, mobsters seal a deal with a kiss, and fic request--yes, it's a grab bag day, flist!
Since I have been utterly blocked lately, have a Dean/Carter rec from someone who is definitely not me. Also a pic of two hot Camorra mobsters kissing to seal the deal of omerta, a fic request for Mafia slash of whatever variety, and babbling about the DB Mafia OT4 AU I'd like to write someday.

(I only wish the "Dean goes under as a gay porn star and Carter has to help him out" on AO3 was as good. Because the premise is awesome--undercover together is one of my nearly bulletproof kinks. However, I may write Carter as fairly dom most of the time, but I don't write him as an exclusive top when it comes to fucking, so that bugged me right there. Also, Dean whimpering in bed did not hit my buttons).
What did is "The Boys Down in Silver Lake" (also on AO3)--Dean/Jaimie, genderfuck because she's making him up to go seduce a target who goes for that. Which I know after SR is totally not your kink, but it worked for me (especially since my headcanon for Jaimie with Dean and/or Carter is that she likes to mess with gender roles. Which is probably why I've written her pegging Dean twice and Ty once, and the backstory in my head for Shift is that her and Carter enjoy that as an occasional thing.)
Also, "tales of golden truths half spun" on ff.net is really good (Dean/Ty subtextiness, Ty POV).
Unfortunately, the fandom is not doing much lately Dean/Carter-wise, which is why I was so pleasantly surprised when I stumbled across "Free Fall".
How have you been doing, anyway? I basically haven't been checking my friendspage in forever, so I've missed a lot of stuff.
I'm doing call center now, so I'm employed but looking for something with way less direct customer contact. Still have cats, have a year-old sort-of-nephew who's adorable when he isn't screaming--I'm hanging in there. And hoping the EEG I had done will shed more light on my seizure issues because I'm already on verbal warning status due to too many sick days.

I haven't been keeping up with my friendspage either, so I hear ya. Good luck with everything! I've been doing alright. Graduating in December (if all goes well, anyway; my group partner is even more of a slacker than I am, so it's rough going). Still trying to find a job so I can afford the rest of the semester. Then I have to find a job so I can be gainfully employed after I finally graduate. Alas, the real world. ):
Fandom-wise, I'm mostly in Inception and Suits lately. I'm currently nearly done with a Suits transfic that's about 2600 words and, once it's done, will be the longest thing I've ever finished, so that's exciting. Whether it's any good or not remains to be seen, but oh well. :D
(PS: If you're not watching Suits, you should be. Trust me, this is your kind of subtext. And season 2 doesn't premiere until next summer (!), so you have plenty of time to catch up.)

I'll cross my fingers that you'll be walking the stage (or whatever your college does) in December to get your diploma. And best of luck finding a job, both to afford finishing your degree and to survive post-college.
I have yet to see Inception, but I mainlined Suits. Because yes, Mike and Harvey are somarried (and I admit that I want Rachel/Donna too. And I have occasional thoughts about Jessica Domming Harvey and/or Mike, because she's just that awesome).
Who are you writing as trans? My immediate thought would be Mike, with Jessica as my second guess. Although pretty much any of the main characters could be. And I kind of like the thought of Trevor as trans, and that that's one reason he's dealing--he wants to be as male-bodied as surgery can make him, and from what little I know about it, full gender reassignment surgery is pretty damn expensive, especially if you're going FtM.
I'm looking forward to the trans Suits fic, so please send me a link when it's finished.

Gasp! This is a travesty, I hope you know. (It took me until November to see it, myself. And now I've seen it 11 times. Because it's amazing and my new favorite and I love it. Also, it has almost as much crossover potential as Quantum Leap, so that's been fun.) If you need a download link, I can probably hook you up.

Oh my god, have you read that fic. Positive Reinforcement? and the sequel? Go go go, I'll wait. XD
Mike. FtM!Mike is basically my headcanon, but this one's MtF!Mike, because various bits of inspiration wanted it so and I was in the mood for angst. Also, I adore all your ideas and once I finish this fill am probably going to have to make some of them happen because I suddenly need them in my life.
I will, and if you'd like (I believe I still have your email), you can be one of the pairs of eyes that gets the sneak peek and tells me whether I have to rewrite half of it or not. I'm really on the fence about how this one's ended up so far. :/ (It could be so much better, but I am so almost done!)

Unless you count Dean and Jaimie putting Ty in the middle while they're dirty dancing in some Vegas club and Jaimie telling him "Come now, right here, and we'll take you back to our suite and have Dean fuck you while you fuck me as soon as you can get it up again". And the thought of Jaimie taking Ty shopping to find the perfect toy for her to peg him with.
I'd love to get the pretty pictures of chameleon-verse Carter jacking off thinking about Dean, wondering what going down on him would feel like (and also how good a fuck Dean would be). Since that's apparently the verse where Carter doesn't have prior practical guy experience (he's looked twice before, but never with enough interest to take the risks of actually getting down and dirty with another guy before basically marrying Dean).
I read both, and Jessica makes an awesome Domme.
Mike as MtF is a really interesting concept, so I can see why you'd be drawn to it. How much more would he have to prove he earned his spot honestly (well, kinda anyway) if his parts don't match his gender? And how much of being trans would he have to hide to avoid drawing extra attention to himself? How femme have you decided MtF Mike is when he's not on the clock?
I would tend to think that when he's on the clock he'd be doing his best to present as male even if that isn't the gender he wants to be and IDs as. Pearson Hardman might be a little easier on him if Harvey discovered him while he's presenting as a woman since Jessica's the managing partner, but I would think that even a cis woman would have a harder time moving up the ladder let alone a trans woman. And my apologies since this bit is likely full of pronoun fail.
I would adore a sneak peek and would be very willing to explain what worked for me and what didn't. Hopefully being cis won't handicap me too much in that regard. (My gender presentation isn't necessarily that traditionally femme considering I like guys' dress shirts for business casual days at work and have been mistaken for a guy on a number of occasions when my hair was shaved in back instead of shoulder length, but that's a long way from actually being trans).

Re: fic, I don't deal with a lot of the issues you're bringing up because this is from Harvey's POV, but basically, yeah, she breaks my heart forever.
I will put you on the list of people to email with the pseudo-finished product, but right now apparently what I needed to hear (and did) was that it doesn't suck and is worth finishing before trying to rewrite the entire last half. Now that I've gotten that reassurance, I'm hopefully going to be able to find some way to fit in this one last part that I think it needs, and then you're welcome to it.
