recrudescence

And now for something completely different, because I'm surrounded by peer pressure and this idea just wouldn't leave me alone.


Title: Schämen
Fandom: Grimm
Rating: G
Disclaimer: Don't own 'em, making no profit off 'em, etc. 
Word Count: 1,554
Summary: Nick hadn’t actually batted his eyes at him, but it was as good an explanation as any for why Monroe kept practically rolling over for a treat each time Nick told him to jump. Lashes like that just weren’t natural on anything that wasn’t a Gancanagh.

Notes: Written in response to a prompt on grimm_kink: Monroe has fleas.

Title: Dismantling the Framework  
Authors: froggie and recrudescence
Fandom: Inception
Rating: NC-17
Pairing: Arthur/Eames
Disclaimer: Don't own 'em, making no profit off 'em, etc. 
Word Count: 5,026
Summary: It happens when a post-job drink becomes meeting one another shot for shot while trying to remain articulate and professional. This all goes swimmingly until Eames is halfway through another order and Arthur whispers in his ear, "I want you to lick your come off my chin."

Notes: This was written on a dreary, sleepless night several months back when the two of us decided the best cure for insomnia was cranking out something irredeemably plotless in which Arthur is the most shameless of drunks. Contains unsafe sex.

In light of the mpreg meta that was just posted over at insearchtion, this is either a great time or an awful time to post this. Title edited because I belatedly realized there's actually another Arthur/Eames mpreg fic called Atom to Atom. And as much as I wanted to call this THE ONE WHERE ARTHUR LITERALLY HANDWAVES BIOLOGY, I feel like it lacks something.


Title:  Atom to Atom, Pattern to Pattern
Fandom: Inception
Rating: NC-17
Pairing: Arthur/Eames
Disclaimer: Don't own 'em, making no profit off 'em, etc. 
Word Count: 7,018
Summary: A lifetime of dreaming, scheming, and identity theft has taught Eames how to keep a level head in the most improbable situations.


Notes: Written in response to this prompt from inception_kink that asked for Arthur and Eames's first attempt at getting pregnant.

It's officially New Year's Eve here, so I'm going to do something I haven't done for a little while and get my meme on.

This year, I've posted twenty-seven fics (all Inception except for one Glee and one Yuletide fandom, four of which don't currently have my name attached to them) and posted slightly over 150,000 words. This doesn't include WIPs (of which there are many) or cracked-out chats-turned-quasi-fic. Not too bad for working and going to school! Fandom is the best outlet ever.

( first lines of each, which actually reads like a very disjointed fic itself )

Conclusion, goals, and other boring introspective thoughts: need to write more stuff involving Yusuf because I really do like him, more stuff involving Cobb because his dynamic with Arthur deserves all the exploration, and more stuff where smut isn't necessarily the focus. I think my ~downfall~ this year was that I turned to the kink meme whenever I needed to play with something new, and while that was fun and I generally try to at least give my porn context, I'd like to focus a little more on writing things where the sex is either peripheral or incidental as opposed to front and center. Um. Not that I'm swearing off smut, for the record; I have way too many half-edited fics for that. Just trying to branch out some more instead of relying on more of the same.

I also want to give Grimmfic a whirl because I love that sort of fairy-tale-with-a-twist thing, and try to play in some more obscure fandoms by writing a few NYR fics. Non-fandom wise, I want to try and get some erotica (but contextualized erotica!) published and actually get paid in something other than a copy of the publication itself. Not looking to make a living, just want to see if I can hop that hurdle.

Oh, and harsher punishments for parole violators.

Hello, strangers!

I've been MIA around these parts lately thanks to an overabundance of school, work, writing assignments, and holiday runarounds, but now that I actually have some downtime it's harder than ever to get reacquainted with the intricacies of actually posting here. What I have been doing is keeping up with my flist (for the most part), even though I haven't been commenting as much, and my Twitter feed when possible.

So, that said, I'm going to pimp some things now.

For those of you who enjoy podfic, sophinisba has taken on the unholy trilogy of the Sickness and Shame verse and, to the best of my knowledge, still has a voice. You can find all three here, and please leave her feedback if you have the time!

Yuletide is in full swing and the reveal is just around the corner, but I can't wait to gush about the fics I've gotten. Growing Together is a Last Unicorn fic about Molly Grue and Schmendrick making their way in the world after the events in canon. I asked specifically for anything to do with Molly and the author gave her a well-deserved happy ending wrapped up in a narrative that could have come straight out of a coda to the novel. Also, Schmendrick fails at growing a proper wizard's beard.

I also got a treat from another Ghostwriter fan (seriously, that was my show growing up, in all its uber-'90s glory): Eventually We Find Our Way gives us a very plausible look at Rob several years down the road--I always felt like he got the short end of the stick, since not only was he shy to begin with, he had to go and move to Australia--and some of the decisions he faces when he comes back to New York.

Inception fandom's festivus this time around was dream_holiday and just today I got an excellent fic from iri_descent. In The Great Game, Arthur and Eames gradually learn each other very well despite being apart for months at a time. I adore the Arthur characterization in this, and the way both of them are drawn to each other but not at all defined by each other. They're both very much professionals here and the author fleshes out their world so deftly that everything seems perfectly natural. I really enjoy it when there are little references to the world of dreaming, or to things that will later come up canonically, and the really beautiful thing is that I didn't mention this at all in my request and just so happened to land a writer with wonderful attention to detail anyway. There also just so happens to be a kitten and a bit of awesome Yusuf/Eames friendship.

And tomorrow, I am going to bake banana bread and party it up! Happy New Year in advance, guys, and thank you for making 2011 a lot more fun.

Title: Counting Down to Another Day
Fandom: Inception
Rating: NC-17
Pairing: Arthur/Eames
Disclaimer: Don't own 'em, making no profit off 'em, etc. 
Word Count: 13,000
Summary: It’s not that he trusts Eames completely or anything that ridiculous. It’s just that they’ve worked together before, know each other more than peripherally, and it’s sometimes good to have a familiar face around while Cobb goes even more off the rails and off the grid. 

Notes: Written as part of dream_holiday for eternalsojourn, who asked for something rated NC-17 with lots of kissing and making out and possibly a massage. Contains brief references to torture and termination of a pregnancy, but is actually fluffy like a poodle. Thank you to chibi_lurrel for lending a hand. 

Also, because I'm a chronic double-dipper, I drew some inspiration from this prompt from the kink meme.

Hi there, Yuletide author!

I now have actual content for you, but I'll leave the picture of Handsome Bob looking soulful anyway.



( fandom specifics here )

Adventures in brevity: this was originally supposed to be about 1K. Apparently Arthur and his tramp stamp are serious business.

Title: body frail, been to jail
Fandom: Inception
Rating: NC-17
Pairing: Arthur/Eames
Disclaimer: Don't own 'em, making no profit off 'em, etc.
Word Count: 6,224
Summary: It was all going so well until Eames took a bullet in a bar fight, fired back, and promptly took another.

Notes: So, this came about thanks to platina, who wanted Arthur with a tramp stamp. Contains blood and violence. Also sex.

Yo, so I heard you like Halloween.
