Happy birthday, Inception fandom! Let's play a game to celebrate, shall we?

Ask me about any of my Inception stories, and I'll tell you what happens one year later.Alternately, ask me for a rec on a particular theme, and I'll give you my favourite. Or tell me what your favourite fic or trope or meme is in this fandom. Or leave comments filled with

Comments

I know I've already asked for a timestamp from it, but I am kind of in love with the kissing meme ficlet :3

Alternatively, rec me your favourite Eames' POV story :)

(I'll come back later with a celebratory doodle, I promise!)

[airgiodslv]

Dude, that is a surprisingly challenging request. WELL-PLAYED.

There are a lot. Is it cheating to give multiple answers? Whatever, this is my party, and the more, the merrier. :-P

I thought I had one, but then I was reminded that this existed, and it wins: tu es la belle et moi la bête, by tequilideas
Also worth noting, though, because there is so much brilliant personality in it: untitled, by rageprufrock
And finally, the one that sticks with me even after nearly a year because it's creepy as hell: only way left from here, by knowmydark

Let me ruminate on the kissing ficlet, I'll be back. :-)

It’s pissing down rain on Ko Phi Phi Leh, which is typical of this time of year but not any more welcome because of that. Arthur is soaked through his skin by the time he locates the long-tail boat moored in the sand, with a familiar tent pitched higher up on the beach, above the tide-line

Eames tilts his face and Arthur counters, the two of them playing a dancing game of keep-away that leaves their mouths just barely brushing off each other’s skin, warm breath and fleeting contact.

YOU DID THAT ON PURPOSE TO TRY AND KILL ME, DIDN'T YOU?

I have made some unbelievably awesome friends in this fandom. And had so many new doors opened, ideas and projects and challenges.

I still remember when the pictures of those two playfighting came out. ADORABLE. <3

ooh, what a tough choice! how about synergy just because i love the arthur/reid relationship.

Wish for me [1/2]

Arthur opens his eyes. His surroundings haven’t changed since the last time he was awake and lucid, but there’s a familiar bag slung over the visitor’s chair, and a peacoat hung on the hook inside the door. The slow, reassuring beep of the heart monitor lulls him back to sleep

[2/2]

[airgiodslv]

He opens them again a second later, coming alert with the click of the door opening

love it!!! thank you!!

Your favorite "back story" story for Arthur?

Thanks to your knotting story, I smile every time a story mentions Eames, Arthur and office supplies. :)

[airgiodslv]

Oh man. What an excellent question. It might be a toss-up:

the democracy of sleep, by liketheroad
Presque Vu, by rageprufrock

And thank you! <3 This comes as a surprise to no one, but the office supply showdown was probably 10 times hotter to me than writing the actual sex in that fic. *G*

So, what fics would you recommend to somebody who has only dabbled in Inception fic and doesn't know where the best stories are? *puppydog eyes* And you should totally pimp yourself too - tell me which of your stories to read!

[airgiodslv]

OMG. Okay, admittedly, my knowledge of this fandom is mostly limited to Arthur/Eames, because that is pretty much all I read. If that might be your cup of tea, then here are the two that I consider at the top of any Inception recs list:

Towards Zero, by mirabellawotr
Presque Vu, by rageprufrock

As far as mine, I still think my best work in this fandom is probably still my first: Amazing Grace.

All of my favourites are here, so if you're in the mood for something in specific - humor, team-fic, AU - let me know and I shall happily dig in!

[ignipes]

Yay, thank you! I've pretty much only read Arthur/Eames anyway, because that's what everybody on my flist writes and I'm a very lazy person when it comes to finding fic, so I basically have no preferences about anything. I just like having stuff to read! :D

[airgiodslv]

I will happily give you more! Let me know if you want a longer list! :-D
