I wrote this a year ago and just found it in my In Progress tag. I’m posting it to clear it out, because I don’t think it’ll become anything. Title (official and the fuller version that titles this post) is a paraphrased version of a lyric from Intermittently by the Barenaked Ladies.

Rating: NC-17
Pairing:Eames/Other (implied unrequited Arthur/Eames)
Word Count: ~570
Warnings: Unsafe anonymous sex
Summary: Eames’s desire for Arthur comes out sideways.

( Fucking You By Proxy )

So after the (apparently) surprising darkness of my big bang, we are back to our regularly scheduled shortish PWP. This time with pirates.

Rating: NC-17
Word Count: ~1900
Warnings: Noncon/dubcon, homophobia, typical pirate violence/tropes. Though I refer to Arthur as a “boy”, I don’t think of him as underage any more than I think of Elizabeth Swan or Will Turner as underage.
Beta: night_reveals
Summary: This is a pirate AU where Arthur is an aristocrat’s son and Eames is a pillaging pirate. Eames steals Arthur’s virtue, his father’s jewels, and though he doesn’t know it, Arthur’s stifling future.

For Ashley, whose lovey-drunkenness is inspiring, touching and just ridiculous enough to encourage things like this. Ashley, I’m sorry there isn’t more of Commodore Norrington in this, but I put more than a dash of the spirit of adventure in it for you.

Round 4 of ae-ldws is complete! Congratulations to winner myxomycota, and runner-up darkhavens. Fabulous writers, both, and it was a great round.

I also want to extend my thanks to all entrants in this round. I felt like I was in great company and considered it a challenge trying to write well enough to stand amongst you. I hope everyone enters again for the next one; I know I am.

( Shut up and show us your drabbles! )

First things first: I want to pimp metacheese's

Pan Fandom Friendship Fanworks Fest

If you make fanworks, you should contribute. Platonic love doesn't get enough play, in my opinion, although romance isn't ruled out in this fest. So you should go there. And make stuff. :D

Here's my contribution (which can be viewed at the source or here below the cut):

Characters, Pairings: Cobb, Arthur/Eames
Rating: G? Teen? I suck at rating anything that isn’t NC-17, sorry.
Word Count: 636
Warnings: None
Summary: The aftermath of Inception through the eyes of Cobb.

( Cobb Picks up the Pieces )

I won A/E Last Drabble Writing Standing (Round 3)! I can't believe I won! myxomycota has been mopping the floor with me, rightfully so. Those drabbles have been amazing. I've really enjoyed this challenge, and I can't wait to sign up again. Congratulations to everyone who submitted, because I think all of the entries have been top notch.

I'm shamelessly including my "congrats, you won" banner because I think it's pretty. :D

With the deadline fast approaching this past weekend, countrypixie1 and I flew into a frenzy of wrting in a desperate attempt to finish our collaborative fic in time. We did, and it is as yet unbetaed. So when it is cleaned up properly, I will post the whole thing here. In the meantime you can check it out at the link(s) below. And while you're there, roll around in all the fic, because sweet baby jesus on a greased trampoline THERE IS SO MUCH GOOD STUFF THERE!

Greater than Want, Deeper than Need

Part One
Part Two
Part Three
Part Four

The final posting day for ae_match was yesterday, and damn but that snuck up on me fast. So this past weekend has been ca-razy amounts of writing: my drabble for ae_ldws and the last bit of Greater than Want, Deeper than Need (see next post). And, because I actually really like pressure (a lot of pressure), I decided to write another entry for the match at the 11th hour. Well, okay, more like the 10th hour. I think I wrote this with two hours left to go before the deadline.

ALSO! You guys, this match was fucking amazing. I can't believe how much was produced, and the quality still blows my mind. I'm so proud of both teams.

So anyway, here: have a bit of angst over at the original post or here below the cut. Don't worry; I managed to exceed my tolerance for relationship-based angst, so in this one Eames and Arthur find comfort in each other.

Prompt(s): Home
Word Count: ~850
Rating: PG (for references to death)
Warnings: (Canon) Character Death
Summary: The day of Mal’s funeral, Arthur heads home, finding that safe places aren’t places; they’re people.
A/N: A special thanks to countrypixie1 who cheerleads, validates me, and whose suggestion it was to write the whole Eames section, which was, in retrospect, the missing piece in this little fic.

( Safe Places )

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.

Angsty angst is terribly angsty. I've submitted another entry to ae_match which can be viewed at the original posting, or here below the cut. This was a last minute decision to tackle one of the prompts before I turn my attention back to Greater Than Want, Deeper Than Need (WIP).

Prompt(s): Forever
Word Count: 540
Rating: PG
Beta:metacheese
Warnings: Major Character Death
Summary: It was a long and full life, but that doesn’t make this any easier.

ADDITIONAL NOTE: sparrow_hubris did an absolutely heart-wrenching podfic of this.

( The Last of the Port Charlotte 8 )

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.
