Writing meme!

[airgiodslv]

Let's take our minds off things, shall we? While we still have del.icio.us, a meme (is it still a meme if I make it up? ah, well):

Pick a prompt from the Inception kink meme bookmarks/prompt posts that you think I should write. In turn, I'll find a prompt I think sounds like something you might write. Maybe someone will be inspired!Alternately,

Ooh, nice mini-masterlist. I'm sure I've read all of them, but I'd better double check...

If you want to do a timestamp, this is not literally a time, but the first time someone goes to someone else's bed* in the Black Jewels crossover, please! (If it's that night, all the better, but somehow I don't know that they'd work things out that quickly.)

*omg love triangle, so you can pick which side of it.

Arthur prowls the halls. It’s late evening, ten days from Winsol, and Eames is in Ariadne’s bed

(2/3)

He wanders for a few minutes before deciding to take Saito up on his suggestion, but Yusuf’s workroom is in the same wing as Ariadne’s rooms - and Eames’ as well, located besides hers, as the Consort - and Arthur has only taken a few steps down the corridor before the rich, heady psychic scent of sex hits him like a wave, swamping his senses

“Is it always going to be like this?” Eames asks finally, and Arthur doesn’t know whether he means the two of them together, or Eames being summoned to Ariadne’s bed. His answer is the same either way.

“I don’t know,” he says.

When he finally turns his head, Eames is frowning. “Prince,” he says quietly.

Arthur’s lip curls. “Consort,” he replies, cold.

He feels the wave of frustration a moment before Eames pins him, hands hard and pressing down heavy against the bruises rising on Arthur’s arms. “Arthur,” he says, as fierce and desperate as the kiss he uses to claim Arthur’s mouth, ravaging him as thoroughly as before but more restrained, this time, the violence tempered by weariness and satiation

Oh wow, this is amazing. Bittersweet, like the first one, but also tender (Eames at the end, be still my heart) and just gorgeous. Things I loved: everything. Loved Arthur being a badass (in an inconvenient way) and destroying those guards. Saito was awesome (I love Saito an inappropriate amount) and the mention of Yusuf concocting things. And of course my favourite parts are Arthur angsting, the chemistry between Arthur and Eames and the masterful way you do the crossover. This really does feel like it's set in the Black Jewels universe.

I can't get over how perfect this is. Thank you!

You are so incredibly sweet, thank you. I'm glad it didn't disappoint! I am a complete and total sucker for Eames and Arthur being conflicted but hopelessly in love. :-)

Thanks again for requesting this!

I just commented on the other, and here there is more! Albeit it is very bittersweet... Still, this was really lovely, and again, I apologize for this being 3+ months late, I just love the way you've rendered this 'verse, especially the way same-sex preferences are handled in the Black Jewels 'verse and in the Blood culture. (I admit I haven't gotten my hands on a copy of Twilight's Dawn yet, sadly, although I hear Rainier is in it...) Anyway, this is heartbreaking and wonderful and if you ever get the odd hankering to do more, you would have one dedicated reader!

(Also Saito being Hayllian and ancient is just so perfect, and Yusuf... hehehe.)

Please never apologize for reading and leaving comments, they are always welcome! I was about to link you to this when I saw you'd already cleverly found it on your own. Same-sex preference does seem to be a tricky issue, and I'm glad it's at least come up on the periphery, with Karla and Rainier. I haven't read Twilight's Dawn either; let me know if it's any good if you get hold of it! Thank you so much for such fantastic comments.
