( Part II. )
Title: And Try To Keep It All The Year
Rating: PG-13
Characters/Pairings: Arthur/Eames
Spoilers/Warnings: Christmas features incredibly heavily, which should probably be warned for if only because it might signpost this as Not Appealing To You!
Summary: Written for a prompt at![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
inception_kink which, when condensed, is: Arthur hates Christmas, and with good reason. Eames very much does not. They meet, they fall head-over-heels, and Eames sets to work figuring out what exactly is going on here.
Disclaimer: Inception is absolutely not mine, nor is anything you recognize from it. The title is from 'A Christmas Carol,' and I do not own it either.
Notes: Last year's fic, finally cleaned up (minimally, though, so if you catch any errors you're welcome to pass them along) and posted. I really didn't think when I started filling this prompt that it would end up being some kind of to-Christmas-and-back-again saga, but there you have it. It's sappy, but even so I need to thank everyone who read it at the kink meme for their overwhelming patience and wonderful comments and just general fabulousness. ♥
ETA: Now with gorgeous fanart by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

( 'It’s not that I hate Christmas,' Arthur says, sandwiching the phone between his shoulder and his left ear so that he can grab pen and paper. )

Rating: PG-13
Characters/Pairings: Charles/Erik, background Sean/Alex, and Raven and Moira being their awesome selves.

Summary: Written for the1stclass_kink prompt, "The band is about to go on tour, but when their drummer quits, their plans are shot to hell. Charles knows of one truly brilliant drummer who can fill the spot -- Erik Lensherr. Problem is, the guy is an unpredictable, bitter troublemaker." Band!AU.

Summary: He wakes from a half-doze when someone shakes him by the shoulder, hard, and he tries frantically to wrench himself out of his dreams (Charles falling to the ground, his face twisted up with pain; surgeons' tools dripping with blood; a voice in his head, a voice he trusts, whispering blame into every corner and crevice).

Characters/Pairings: Charles/Erik, with brief appearances by everyone else you might expect.
Spoilers/Warnings: For the entire movie, yes.
Summary: Except that this has happened before, he thinks with a start, and something in his throat closes up as he revolves on the spot, already knowing what he's going to see. Charles' back is arching as he falls, his eyes wide, and the crumpled bullet falls to the sand beside him like a calling card.

Rating: PG
Characters/Pairings: Harry, Ron, and Hermione, with brief appearances by most of the other people you might expect.
Spoilers/Warnings: Mentions of canonical character death but beyond that, no!
Summary: Harry's eighteenth birthday party is a strange affair, full of good food, good company, and the strange, ragged edges no one has yet managed to sand away.
Disclaimer: Harry Potter is absolutely not mine, nor is anything you recognize from it; Ingrid Michaelson's song "The Chain" is another thing I don't own, and I have yanked the title for this fic from it wholesale.
Notes: This isworthadime's holiday gift, and it is incredibly late. She asked for the trio being themselves, and I have provided this. She will have to decide if I managed what she asked for! I should also say here: I had an entirely different fic for her, and my computer ate it, presumably in its dying moments. If it ever turns up again, she will get two presents! But for now, I present this.

Fic: and freedom tastes of reality
Jul. 15th, 2011 08:53 pmHoliday gift fic for dragonsinger! :]
Title: and freedom tastes of reality
Rating: PG? Just some language.
Characters/Pairings: Bobby and John, friendship.
Spoilers/Warnings: Spoilers for the second X-Men movie. Slightly AU afterward. As for warnings, just slight language.
Summary: "Bobby might be surprised to learn that John remembers anything from Westchester actually. Bobby’s like that. There’s black and there’s white, there’s remembering and there’s forgetting, there’s abandoning and there’s staying." John takes a road trip.
Notes: The prompt was "X-Men - Pyro - "I'm just a teenaged dirtbag, baby..." And it turned into Pyro fic with Bobby/John friendship. I hopes it vaguely resembles what you wanted? :P
( He's definitely in one of the Dakotas. )

Rating: PG
Characters/Pairings: Booth/Brennan
Spoilers/Warnings: None really! This could have happened at any time. Know that Booth and Bones are friends, and you're pretty much good to go.
Summary: Booth, Bones, and a trip to the beach (to feed the seagulls, naturally).
Notes: Like I said, trying something new here. I couldn't really tell you why, or where I was going with it, but I don't mind how it turned out. I hope you don't either,raaby_lilly. Your posts always make me grin -- I love your enthusiasm and your...I don't know. Inclusiveness? You're just very open with your enthusiasm and I love it. :D
( When she takes in the dark sand and the bluffs that rise, staggering, further down the beach, she thinks maybe this is a scene that demands rain. It startles her for an instant, this personification of a beach of all things. )

Fic: Delight In The Recognition
Jul. 15th, 2011 08:47 pmTitle: Delight in the Recognition
Rating: PG
Pairings/Characters: Susan/Caspian
Warnings/Spoilers: Nothing really. Technically, there are spoilers through Prince Caspian, both the book and the movie. I'm using movie canon.
Summary: "He does not recognize them, when he first sees them. The Pevensies he knows so well from reading about them (over and over again, caught in his chambers at all hours with books his Uncle had expressly forbade, chided by Cornelius for his recklessness and for his insomnia) are noble. Somehow, he never thought of them as getting dirty like everyone else." Caspian considers how history has treated Susan.
Notes: A billion and a half years ago (no, seriously), I asked for prompts. And someone (bredalot?) suggested that I give Susan/Caspian a go. I was intrigued by the pairing, so I've been trying to write something about them, on and off, ever since. This is what I've come up with. Title from an Alexander Smith quote ("Love is but the discovery of ourselves in others, and the delight in the recognition").
( Well. I tried? :] )

saraannette is generally awesome. And she wanted Rory/Jess fic for a holiday present. So this is it!Title: In Fair Stars Hollow Where We Lay Our Scene
Rating: PG? Or even G?
Spoilers/Warnings: Rory: exists. Jess: exists. They liked each other. They dated. I don't think those count as spoilers any more though. ;] As for warnings, well, there's some bashing of poor ol' Romeo and Juliet. Sorry guys. Never liked that play.
Summary: Rory's reading Romeo and Juliet for school. Jess brings it up. Rory rants, Jess flirts, fluff ensues.
Notes: Otherwise known as SOOPER CORNY TITLE LIEK WHOA! But I don't care. I couldn't pass it up. This is for
saraannette, as a holiday gift. The prompt was Season 3-era Rory/Jess fluff. And, well, I've never written Jess before. Or Rory. Or Gilmore Girls fic. So. I hope it's...bearable? Or even decent? Gift-y? ( I went into one of my best literary rants for you --! )
Title: Five Times Sirius Thought Remus Might Actually Kill Him, Possibly With The Power of His Mind (a.k.a., A Series of Sirius Mistakes, No Pun Actually Intended, Although Come To Think of It Moony That Would Have Been Quite Funny-)
Rating: PG?
Pairings/Characters: Sirius and Remus, with mentions of most of the other characters you might expect.
Warnings/Spoilers: Er. Do not take Sirius as a model for your own behavior?
Summary: Sirius discovers, among other things, astrophysics and the Wrath of Remus.
Notes:bredalot says the five things meme is the best thing to happen to the fanfic since the Internet. I am inclined to agree. Also! I am suddenly ficcing at an almost alarming rate, and I do promise to reply to the comments on my other fic SOON-TIMES. Because I adore comments, and want to encourage them to the best of my internetly abilities.
Disclaimer: Don't own them! Don't even have anything witty to say re: lack of ownership!

Fic: Portals of Discovery
Jul. 13th, 2011 10:10 pmTitle: Portals of Discovery
Rating: PG
Characters/Pairings: Remus/Sirius
Spoilers/Warnings: Erm, spoilers for Harry Potter I suppose. The third/fourth/fifth books specifically. As for warnings, beware a totally screwed up timeline-- I've got no idea when this happens, and while it's not wildly AU I may have strayed from canon to put Remus and Sirius in Grimmauld Place when I wanted them there; I'm honestly not sure!
Summary: He shouldn’t be so surprised that he is somehow swallowing unsaid words without wanting to, but Sirius still manages to shock him into certain reactions. Remus and Sirius readjust to each other post-Azkaban and pre-veil.
Notes: Forsaraannette, on the glorious occasion of the anniversary of her birth. I was so totally neurotic about this fic that I emailed it to her, instead of posting, but she effectively squashed my paranoia with her squee, so I decided to go ahead and post. Title gacked from a James Joyce quote (A man's errors are his portals of discovery), largely because it sounded cool.
( Now the bitterness has increased tenfold, and it is strange and foreign and painful to hear it in the middle of the kitchen.. )

Rating: PG-13 (for language!)
Characters/Pairings: The Marauders + Lily
Spoilers/Warnings: Nope!
Summary: James shoves his wand back into his right sleeve and blinks dazedly. Combined with the glasses, it has the effect of making him look like an owl. A bemused, deranged owl whose perch has just been rocked by A Storm of Sirius Proportions. Sirius has Important Information to impart to James. Also, everyone eats dinner.
Disclaimer: Harry Potter is absolutely not mine, nor is anything you recognize from it.
Notes: Forascenseur, possibly because she prompted the Marauders being BFFs for her holiday present or possibly just because she deserves many, many hugs and writing is one way I know of to deliver hugs via the internet. I know this is pretty much useless, but still! ♥
Possibly probably definitely inspired by this.

Rating: PG-13
Characters/Pairings: Arthur/Eames, Ariadne, Dom, Mal, and (eventually) Yusuf and Saito, plus a few blink and you'll miss 'em Glee cameos.
Spoilers/Warnings: No and no.
Summary: It turned out that Glee Club wasn’t so much a club as it was three people who were surgically attached to their iPods and wanted Barbra Streisand’s diva notes to make sweet, sweet love to their ears. Which was fine, because that was pretty much exactly who Ariadne was, too. Glee!AU.
Disclaimer: Inception is absolutely not mine, nor is anything you recognize from it. The same applies to Glee, and to all of the songs and Broadway shows mentioned and quoted in this story.
Notes: This issharaith's holiday gift! Though it also classifies as a High School!AU, I suppose, so those of you who asked for one of those-- consider this a super special bonus gift? Or something? And you guys, I have to say: they are not all going to be this long! Or, if they are, I will probably die.

Rating: PG-13
Characters/Pairings: Arthur/Eames
Spoilers/Warnings: No and no.
Summary: “You have to kiss,” one of the portraits on the wall informs them in tones of sternest authority. If Arthur squints, the fierce-featured, curly-haired woman pictured reminds him a bit of one of his great aunts. In which the dream world is cupid-ing Arthur and Eames together, and it is definitely not Arthur's fault. Frombookshop's inception_kink prompt, here.
Disclaimer: Inception is absolutely not mine, nor is anything you recognize from it. Nor, obviously, is the title to this story.

Spoilers/Warnings: No and no.
Summary: “You have to kiss,” one of the portraits on the wall informs them in tones of sternest authority. If Arthur squints, the fierce-featured, curly-haired woman pictured reminds him a bit of one of his great aunts. In which the dream world is cupid-ing Arthur and Eames together, and it is definitely not Arthur's fault. From
bookshop's inception_kink prompt, here. Disclaimer: Inception is absolutely not mine, nor is anything you recognize from it. Nor, obviously, is the title to this story.
Notes: The title is from a Regina Spektor song (On The Radio, here it is on YouTube).
( The first time it happens they’re doing a practice run in a Christmas party, one of Ariadne’s creations. )
Title: The Inescapable Charm of The Countdown
Rating: PG-13 (for language)
Characters/Pairings: Arthur/Eames, Cobb/Mal (plus Yusuf, Ariadne, Saito, and blink-and-you'll-miss-him Robert).
Spoilers/Warnings: Well, it follows the plot of the movie (with the character death that implies). But besides that? Nothing!
Summary: The worst thing about Eames, Arthur decides as he pulls his Thai leftovers from the office fridge the next day, is how infuriatingly competent he is. Arthur absolutely cannot fucking stand it. From theinception_kink prompt, "Arthur is a defense attorney, Eames is a prosecutor. (or, you know, the other way round. Whatever you think fits them best)." I did flip it around, for the record!
Disclaimer: Inception is absolutely not mine, nor is anything you recognize from it.
Notes: So, yes! This took much longer than I expected, and grew much wordier than I expected. About 30 pages wordier, to be exact. But it was wonderfully fun to write, and now here it is! Also, apologies for the legal inaccuracies. I know there are at least a few, and on that note, I will not be held responsible for anyone who uses this fic as their guide to navigating a court of law. ;]
( James and Philippa come into the office with Cobb during the third week of March (Mal needs a break, Cobb says tightly), and on the whole they are remarkably well-behaved. )

Three inception_kink fills.
Jul. 13th, 2011 09:49 pmHooray, writing things!
Three fics written for the Inception kink meme, none of them even remotely kinky.
BECAUSE THAT'S HOW I ROLL. IN AN EXCITING, PG-13 OR LOWER KINDA WAY.
Title: Mushrooms From Toadstools
Rating: PG-13 (for language)
Characters/Pairings: Arthur/Eames
Spoilers/Warnings: Very, very general spoilers for the movie.
Summary: “It is possible I never actually understood what hatred was until I met you, Eames,” Arthur says, trying his best to mean it and getting almost halfway there. From the prompt, "5 times arthur thinks eames couldn't possibly be the love of his life and that one moment of clarity when he realizes that he simply is."
Disclaimer: Absolutely not mine.
Notes: Title is from a Katherine Mansfield quote ("If only one could tell true love from false love as one can tell mushrooms from toadstools"), which I have appropriated partly because I thought it was fitting, and partly (or maybe largely) because I was dying to use the word "toadstools" in a title for something. ANYTHING.
( Arthur meets Eames in the moments directly after at least three cars have exploded, which means that neither of them is particularly inclined toward introductions. )
Title: To be honest, I've got nothing for this one. It's Untitled Inception Daycare AU, that's what it is!
Rating: PG
Characters/Pairings: Keep in mind that everyone here is under five, so things are awfully platonic! But even so, there's a bit of Arthur/Eames and Cobb/Mal (plus the entire ensemble).
Spoilers/Warnings: For the movie, yes.
Summary: “Children!” Yusuf says, “Truly, it is time for lunch! Lunch! You know, the time of day when you eat delicious foods and then get very sleepy and nap until your parents arrive?” From the prompt, "A beleaguered Yusuf runs a daycare where all the Inception characters are preschoolers or younger."
Disclaimer: Absolutely not mine.
Notes: I think Ariadne also wears this a lot.
ETA:cellophane_ria drew Arthur and Ariadne and legos in the comments and they are adorable. :D
( Ariadne giggles, shakes her head, throws a lego at him (mussing his hair in the process, which sends Arthur’s hands flailing up to his head to repair the damage), and demands that he help her build a bridge. )
Title: High Lonesome
Rating: PG-13
Characters/Pairings: Cobb/Mal
Spoilers/Warnings: Spoilers for the movie, yes.
Summary: I'm going to build you entire worlds, he wants to say, just so I can watch you explore them. From the prompt, "'You're waiting for a train, a train that will take you far away. You know where you hope this train will take you, but you can't be sure. But it doesn't matter - because we'll be together.'Five times Cobb said this to Mal and one time she said it back to him."
Disclaimer: Absolutely not mine.
Notes: The title is the title of a song by The Gaslight Anthem, of whom I am very fond.
( You're waiting for a train. )
