Hee, see, not blue sky.

Argh, studying for standardized tests is not fun at all. I just finished up like two hours worth of it and I am drained.

Speaking of the bigboom fic, I will do my absolute best to get it back to you by the 7th; maybe around mid day on the 7th, but I will seriously do my best.

And...I have no idea what to prompt. Would you be open to something Inception-y? Arthur/Eames, "Pure Imagination".

If not I can come up with something else.

Oh pssh.

Seriously. I'm really hoping I'm not totally out of practice. I didn't even do spectacularly on the SAT... :(

Mmkay. It's fine if you can't, just let me know on the seventh.

Oh boy, my first Arthur/Eames! I think I'm gonna give it a shot in a separate comment, if you don't mind...

:D

Yeah...doing well on standardized tests was one of my few saving graces in high school, but the LSAT is significantly harder.

I've sent it along, and am kind of ashamed of myself for, um, how many parts I divided it into. I could totally look over it again to see if I could think of another way, but not until after the weekend (my mother is coming down on me for...I don't know, something.)

ETA: also, with your ETA, I knew both West and Alt!Wendy would be there before I even clicked.

Ugh, you lucky thing. I'm halfway through a PDF of the math review, and I kind of want to run screaming. Either that, or tattoo the rules of exponents on my inner forearm, maybe with that formula for solving quadratic equations (with a single variable) on the other one.

No worries, I've gone through it all and sent it in. Thanks one more time for beta-ing!

Alt!Wendy was a no-brainer. I'm afraid West was included possibly less on his own villainous merits than because I can't separate him from Alt!Wendy.

Thanks! I'll definitely get a hold of these.

I do not miss standardized tests. Are you taking a GRE class or just studying on your own?

Prompt... hmm...

Plaude; countryside.

I'm going it alone. I'm not quite worried enough about it to pay for a class. Mistake? I guess we'll see. In any case...

They're city boys, the both of them. "Rural" just isn't written in their genes and they know it- and so does their new friend. Claude joked earlier, "Of course another speedo from the countryside- the better to get the hell out of there, yeah?"

Mocking laughter has given way to fierce repellance and little Cindy is all but hissing like a snake as Peter picks his way over the stony creek bed, keeping up a steady stream of comforting words and assurances as he does.

The girl turns and begins to blur with movement- but doesn't get more than two feet before slamming into an invisible Claude, barrelling them both over in a spray of water.

From what I've heard about the GRE it's basically a glorified SAT. So I guess it depends on how correct that is and how good you were about taking the SAT?

*snorts* Poor Claude, he's going to be picking nature off his clothes for days and complaining about it.

Heh, yeah, the SAT.. that went... great..?

XD Pretty much.

I think it might, since I have a somewhat decent amount of experience now. The guy seemed fairly enthusiastic.

Hooray! :) I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Some feral anti-virus program has latched onto my computer.

Oh, well that's not good. You'd better watch that carefully.

Give me a prompt for a five-sentence fic.

Hmm... How about...

Arthur/Eames. Poker face.

(Ooh! Puh-retty Arthur/Eames icon you've got there.)

Thanks. I dunno, maybe I should just try to get a job in my dad's office, but something in me just really wants to find something on my own.

Ergh, I know. It's behaving itself right now, at least...

Poker face, huh? Hmmm.

At least Cobb waits until the rest of the team is elsewhere before putting a hand on Eames' shoulder and ducking their heads together, "You're the best forger I've ever worked with."

Eames allows the ghost of a smile.

"But Browning doesn't know Arthur from Adam, so we can't risk you breaking character, not even for a second." He steps away and sighs, "Trust me, I know how hard it can be, but you've gotta put all that away until the job's done, understand?"

Eames nods, and sets his face in a hard frown with eyes downcast.

Hee. Ain't it, though? Silly englishmuffin2 can't see the slash between them but-- It's there. Oh, it's there.

And thank you for the fill! Loved it!

SO there. Even without the throw-away "darling" line, their entire vibe is exes who can't stand each other these days.

Welcome!
