THIS IS A POST RECCING VARIOUS THINGS THAT NEED RECCING, NATCH. (Sidenote: the other day my mother sent me a text with the word "natch" at the end, used correctly, and I was like, hey, where did you pick that up? "I made it up," she says. "It's an abbreviation for naturally!" WHAT EVEN.)

First and foremost, winterlive wrote Inception fic. It's called Get Lost, and it's 13K of Arthur genfic, and if you are one of those people who tends to read only within your pairing, I urge you--no, I implore you--to read this anyway. It is quite literally the best character study of Arthur I've ever encountered, and follows his journey across the country post-Inception as he ties up some loose ends and figures himself out. It's about growing up and going home again and not going home again and loss and strength and learning and who you end up being while you're not paying attention, and, oh, god, it's incredible. I just--you need to read this story, you guys. It's one of those that leaves you stunned and breathless at the end, that totally changes your viewpoint on the character while reinforcing it at the same time. SO. GOOD. Go forth and be amazed.

SECONDLY, angelgazing has made a post explaining what it is about Hawaii 5-0 that is so damnably addicting, because she's apparently not content with dragging just me into this fandom kicking and screaming. IT IS EXTREMELY COMPREHENSIVE AND VERY CONVINCING, but if anyone would like a quick and dirty summary of the show, my own is as follows:

-Steve's a ninja
-Danny's pissed
-THEY'RE SO MARRIED
-Jersey joke
-Hnnnnng Grace Park
-Hnnnnnng Daniel Dae Kim
-SERIOUSLY PLEASE JUST ADMIT THAT STEVE AND DANNY ARE MARRIED
-No understanding of or apparent concern about how laws actually work
-Jersey joke

I have had it confirmed by others that this is accurate. (Also over at angelgazing's journal is The Inception Anon Love Meme, which just fills me with warm fuzzies every time I look at it. ♥)

THIRDLY, emilianadarling, who is BEYOND AMAZING, did a podfic of my story Don't Feed Me, Seymour. For those of you keeping track at home, that was the one where Arthur is the worst cook ever--er, well, the one where Arthur is the worst cook ever that isn't part of domesticverse, I like that trope, okay??--and it is WAY, WAY, WAY BETTER as a podfic. emilianadarling's delivery is spot on and hilarious, and it's just awesome. I was grinning the whole way through in absolute joy and glee that anything I wrote could inspire something so fab. You guys should all check it out.

Finally, foxxcub's big bang is up, which, yes, I know that you know, and you probably think that I am biased because I beta read it, BUT WHATEVER. You still need to hightail it over to All the Rules to Break and read it at once. Serial killers and cops and the FBI and oh my god Arthur and Eames. The emotion is pitch perfect, the plot is a brilliant ride, do yourselves a favor and get over there post-haste.

OKAY, I'M OFF TO WORK ON THINGS that hopefully are not Hawaii 5-0 fic but probably will end up being Hawaii 5-0 fic anyway fml fml fml. I hope you all are having fantastic Thursdays :D
