I think I forgot to notify you guys here at my journal when Part Two went up. So to catch up:

In a world where people need touch to survive, Arthur and Eames are forced to face the consequences of what they do.

Part One
Part Two
Part Three
Part Four (to come)

And that's it. It should be four parts total ultimately. My first WIP and my first collab! countrypixie1 has been an absolute joy to work with, and I'm proud of what we've come up with.

Rating: NC-17
Word Count: ~3200
Warnings: Oblique reference to homophobia, Barebacking between strangers
Summary: During the depression era, Arthur rides the rails to escape his life. He meets a gambler and a thief, and discovers more than he expected as he hurtles in the dark through the heartland of America.
Beta: countrypixie1, and some much-needed cheerleading from hungerpunch. Thank you, ladies, I would have stalled on this without you. Your research is also going to spoil me. A special thanks to sneaqui for acting as consultant on the poker sections. If I've still got it wrong, it's no fault of hers.
A/N: This is a birthday gift for night_reveals. It was inspired by a brief scene in Avatar: The Last Airbender, and somewhat by The Gambler by Kenny Rogers, but mostly is just an excuse to write drifter!Eames and some depression-era lovin’.

Hi hi! I've posted a new fic for ae_match. This one is a collaboration with countrypixie1 and will be a fic posted in 3 or 4 parts.

I'll post the whole thing here at my journal once it's complete. In the meantime, you can read the WIP at the link below.

Prompt(s): Hunger, Sensual and Touch
Word Count: ~1900
Rating: Mature (this part - ultimately NC-17)
Beta:night_reveals
Warnings: Angst, Torture (Happy ending)
Summary: In a world where touch is as essential to human survival as food and water, Arthur and Eames are forced to face the repercussions of their line of work.

Fake cut to Greater than Want, Deeper than Need (Part 1 of 3-4)

I've written another submission for ae_match. This is the cheating fic I've mentioned a few times on twitter, and eventually decided to write as a one-shot rather than a longer fic. You can read it over at the original posting, or read it right here below the cut.

Prompt: Jealousy
Word Count: 1605
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: Angst
Betas: night_reveals and countrypixie1
Summary: These moments, these secret meetings -- they’re borrowed, Eames knows this. He’ll take it if it means he gets to taste Arthur, to have him say Eames’s name like he can’t help it escaping him. He’ll take any scraped out time he can get just to feel Arthur’s hungry hands on his body.
A/N: The title is from the Barenaked Ladies song “The Wrong Man Was Convicted”. The full lyric is: If I’m again beside your body, don’t tell me where it’s been. It’s cruel unusual punishment to kiss fingerprinted skin.

Hiya! I didn't get around to linking this earlier, but I posted an angsty fic over at ae-match. I have other fics underway; this was the first one out of the gate.

( This Sentimentality Doesn't Look Good On Me )

I write tweet porn periodically as a way to get words flowing, or just to keep some momentum up in between actual fic-writing. I also do it as gifts for people who need cheering up, but that's neither here nor there.

I feel I should point out that I don’t know what people mean when they say “tweet porn”. I’ve seen some in which there are multiple tweets following one another that tell a story. These are self-contained snippets in 140 characters or less, so that’s what I mean when I say “tweet porn”.

Anyway, since the numbers are getting up there, I thought it would be a good idea to drop them here for archiving purposes. Some of these are repeated from other collections (which are linked directly in my Master Fic List), but some are original and not posted anywhere but Twitter until now.

( Tweet Porn Archive #1 )

This had its origins many moons ago, when ohfreckle had a bad day and asked for good things. I tried to do a drive-by porning and failed miserably. I’m sorry it’s so late, ohfreckle! But this one’s for you!

Anyway, I started writing this thing, and it picked up feelings along the way. I apologize for what is ultimately unremitting romantic fluff. I guess I needed to get this out of my system before gearing up for my Team Angst contributions. I hope. >_>

Rating: NC-17
Word Count: ~1750
Warnings: None (unless a warning is needed for bareback)
Pairings or Characters: Arthur/Eames
Summary: Eames has a shitty day, hates everyone, and Arthur sets out to take his mind off things.
Beta: night_reveals. You’ve changed my writing life, darling, don’t you forget it.

( The Cure for Embitterment )

I wrote The Better to See You With, a Little Red Riding Hood AU and realized partway through that I was writing something that didn't really lend itself to the edgier possibilities of the wolf theme. Not that I wasn't happy to tell that story as it was, but I was a little wistful about the lack of primal Alpha/Beta dynamics. So I got this idea that Arthur and Eames are both werewolves, fighting for dominance. And it turns into porn. I know, you're surprised.

Rating: NC-17
Word Count: ~1400
Warnings: Borderline bestiality... sort of, Knotting
Pairings or Characters: Arthur/Eames
Summary: Arthur and Eames are werewolves who meet for the first time and battle it out to determine who's the Alpha Male. Claiming, marking, and sex ensue (in human form)
Beta: night_reveals who is gracious enough to beta a ridiculous number of absurd things for me.

( Alpha )

This is a fill for this prompt on the kink meme.

Rating: NC-17
Word Count: ~7600
Warnings: Knotting, Not underage but... naive?, First time everything, Sort-of-not-really bestiality (Eames is a werewolf, what do you expect?), A bit of angst
Pairings or Characters: Arthur/Eames
Summary: Arthur is Little Red Riding Hood, Eames is the Wolf. This story loosely follows the fairy tale premise and contains a few nods to some lines from the source material. Aside from that, it's about Arthur, stories, and figuring out what we should really be afraid of.
Beta: night_reveals who has my everlasting devotion because there's beta'ing, and then there's beta'ing. All remaining flaws, both inherent and surface, are mine and mine alone.

There are so many beautiful things happening in the fandom right now, it's hard to keep up. There's a tentacle fest on its way, a kissing comm, a Merry Month of May Love thing going on at harlequincepted, and the things below that I've actually had the time to contribute to. My contributions are linked directly, but you should check out the rest of what's there, because OH GOD this fandom kills me with its talent. For the record, I do plan to contribute to some of the others, but this is what I've accomplished so far:
 

Wank Fest Story

Seemed Rational at 3 a.m.
 
This thing is was supposed to be a quick little drive-by commentfic, and... wasn't. It's about 1500 words and it's got feelings and junk, so if you like masturbation and feelings, you might enjoy it. I hope you do, anyway. :D This is a contribution to ohfreckle's Wank Fest.
 

Fat Cock Vivant

Food Porn/Fluff Tweet Collection
 
Like my violent tweet collection for Ribaldry and Rage, this one is a collection of fics in 140 characters or less about food, sex and feelings. Like everything I've posted so far, it's all Arthur/Eames.
 

Inception Love Meme 

ohfreckle is hosting an Inception Love Meme, and although I'm a little late in pimping it, you should totally go there and spread the love if you haven't already. It's a little corner of the internet that is all warm fuzzy feel-good times.
