Steinway Sticky Post

  • Jan. 21st, 2021 at 10:02 PM
rough trade arthur/eames
Because it's getting increasingly difficult to track everything in this expanding 'verse, I thought I'd make a single sticky post that gets updated as I post new stories. Here you will find links to the Steinway!Verse fics in all their various places.

You can read the Steinway!Verse in two ways, and currently it doesn't matter which order you choose.  Both make sense and each has been expressed as a preference by various people.

Uh, and in case anyone isn't aware, LJ = Livejournal, DW = Dreamwidth, and AO3 = Archive of Our Own

In the order the stories were posted (but not chronological in the 'verse):
  • Under the Steinway (DW | AO3) - not on LJ as it was a comment fic posted to DW
  • Fever Pitch (LJ | DW | AO3)
  • What Need (LJ | DW | AO3)
  • Ach, des Knaben Augen (DW | AO3 | Podfic ) - not on LJ due to the story length
  • Reach Out (and Touch Someone) (LJ | DW | AO3)
  • Between the Notes (DW | AO3) - not on LJ due to the story length
  • First, Do No Harm (LJDW | AO3)
  • Er, der Herrlichste von Allen (LJ | DW | AO3)
  • Whither Thou Goest (DW | AO3) - not on LJ due to the story length
  • Irresistible You (LJ | DW | AO3)
  • Soft the Drowsy Hours (LJ | DW | AO3)
  • Je te veux (AO3) - only on AO3 at this time due to story format
  • An die ferne Geliebte (AO3)
  • Where You At (AO3)
  • And I Know It (AO3)

Two fics, which are kind of weirdly different given that they were both written within 24 hours for the same person.

Fandom: Inception
Rating: PG (for language, really)
Pairing: Arthur/Eames
Length: ~2000 words
Summary: Art is calling for Eames, but somehow Arthur is always the one answering the door.

A/N: In Steinway!verse, set sometime after the boys get married.

And I Know It (on AO3)

***

Fandom: Inception/TDKR RPF
Rating: Very very very explicit? :D
Pairing: Tom/Joe
Length: 2900 words
Summary: Pillow mints are overrated anyway.

Content Notes: Barebacking first time, explicit, as well as some sort of vague sizekink and slight D/s undertones.

A/N: [personal profile] lately needed something to distract her from a boring day, so I went ahead and wrote something pretty filthy. In the Unkissed 'verse, set in the near future. Joe's done Sundance and goes to visit Tom in London. As one does. I had no idea, writing a little RPF fic back in August, that I would so enjoy revisiting the 'verse nearly half a year later. :D Title is from "The Indie Queens Are Waiting" by Dan Mangan. Thanks to [personal profile] xenakis for suggestions and hand-holding while I moaned about how I hate naming fics. Also for an interesting discussion about the word "parsimony", which does not appear in the fic below.

Are We Cool Now? )

Unkissed Fic: Slow to Start

  • Jan. 20th, 2012 at 10:09 AM
eames smoking
Another tidied-up Twitter fic.

(A note about Unkissed fic in general -- I do intend to post the 'verse to AO3 in full eventually but the original 40K fic is still in beta. Once it's edited and ready to be posted in one shot I'll post all these other bits too.)

Fandom: Inception/TDKR RPF
Rating: PG
Pairing: Joe/Tom
Length: 700 words
Summary: It's not like Joe can say 'no' to Tom, not really.

A/N: Set in the Unkissed 'verse. Originally sort of texted in bits because [profile] stars_collected wasn't feeling well, and then tweeted in a form closer to fic because it was just so bloody cold out. Winter and illness make me write cuddling, apparently. Title from "Embraceable You". Thanks to [profile] stars_collected and [personal profile] lately for looking this over for me.

Slow to Start )

Fic: Tired Liar

  • Jan. 13th, 2012 at 11:36 PM
go to sleep mr. eames
Just a little twitterfic I wrote the other night, neatened and properly posted now.

Rating: G
Pairing: Arthur/Eames
Length: 600 words
Summary: It's a symptom; it'll probably pass.

Things of Note!

This is so long overdue, but here are a few cool things that have happened with regards to secondary fanworks of my stuff in the last month or so:

[personal profile] podcath recorded podfic of my 3rd Rock/Inception crossover! *muppet arms* I love this odd little story, I confess, and I'm glad she liked it enough to record it. It's awesome -- listen and give her due props: In Duty Homeward Shall We Fly

Also in the category of that fic, [livejournal.com profile] rainy_elliot has translated it into Russian, here. Very cool! Obviously I cannot make heads or tails of it as a complete non-Russian speaker/reader, but I can tell you that putting the page through Google translate does make for good times as an English speaker, especially as this particular fic lifts a few lines of dialogue from canon. For example:

- Do not be afraid to be daring, darling, - said Eames and took half a roof with one stone.

and

It is gratifying to see how you deign to praise, Arthur. Thank you.

and

- We have fun with them nicely - with a grim smile, Arthur promised by connecting Eames. - Good night, Mr. Eames.

(I am sure it is 1000000 times better in Russian, btw, but I do think even some of these lines might be better than Nolan's canon.)

Lastly, in the primary fanwork category, we have cookies.

I make cookies for co-worker Christmas gifts, or have done for the past couple of years. I was chatting with [personal profile] xenakis as I finished up baking some gingerbread for this project in early December and confessed that [profile] stars_collected (who was sharing the decorating work with me in exchange for cookies for her own gifting) and I would have trouble refraining from making all the gingerbread men into tiny Arthur and Eameses. To which she replied, as any responsible fangirl would, DO IT. NOW.

The result? )

Unkissed Fic: Crazy to Suppose

  • Jan. 3rd, 2012 at 9:10 PM
plor new
Fandom: Inception/TDKR RPF
Rating: PGish
Pairing: Tom/Joe
Length: 855 words
Summary: Tom should really stop looking at the internet; nothing good ever comes of it.

A/N: Based on that New Year's video everyone's seen, and set in the present in the Unkissed 'verse. (Get yer Unkissed 'verse here.) Just a little something I wrote when [personal profile] lately couldn't sleep. And then it took four times as long to write the last 100 words. :| Title is from that song in that video everyone's seen.

Content Notes: Like all other Unkissed fic, contains RPF as well as potentially lethal levels of fluff.

Fic Year in Review 2011

student pres arthur
It has been a fairly productive year in terms of writing. [personal profile] lately and I did some math the other day and my (posted) wordcount for the year is over 200K, with about another 50K lurking in the unposted land. No wonder I've got nothing done in the rest of my life.

2003: 9 stories. The Year of Discovering Fandom.
2004: 40 stories. The Year of First Fandom Love.
2005: 17 stories. The Year of First Fandom Disenchantment.
2006: 18 stories. The Year of Second Fandom Love and First Fandom Farewell.
2007: 19 stories. The Year of 'Yep, This Is All the Time I Have For This.'
2008: 8 stories. The Year I Drifted Away.
2009: 8 stories. The Year I Was Gone A Lot.
2010: 14 stories. The Year I Came Back, Yaye!
2011: 28 stories. The Year I Wrote A Whole Fucking Fuckton.

All told: 161 stories over 9 years of fandom.

Fic: The Gentleman of the Lamp

  • Dec. 30th, 2011 at 12:08 PM

I owe far more than this fic post, but this will have to do for now. Am currently in England visiting the wonderful [personal profile] lately. All is well. :D

Rating: Teen and up (for references to violence and some strong language)
Pairing: Arthur/Eames
Length: 1500 words
Summary: Eames isn't a worrier by nature.

Notes: Contains references to violence and injury (though none occurs in the course of the story).

Fic: You Can Be as Loud as the Hell You Want

  • Nov. 25th, 2011 at 10:47 AM
plor new
The decision to try posting completed fic only to AO3 and linking from here is brought to you by the ennui borne of fixing ridic after-the-fact typos in three places, over and over and over... I am hoping AO3 is by now mainstream enough that no one is entirely put off by it? :D?

Pairing: Arthur/Eames
Rating: NC-fucking-17
Length: 5300 words
Summary: Arthur's always listening to someone bang someone else two feet away. Eames thinks he hears a cat.

You Can Be as Loud as the Hell You Want

A/N: Written (mostly) on Twitter over the course of a day, made much much better by the liberal application of [personal profile] xenakis (for inspiration and general dirty-mindedness) and [personal profile] lately (for beta nit-picking and surprisingly extended discussions of how Arthur wakes up/reacts when Eames comes into the room.) Thanks also to all my Twitter fen for putting up with over 200 tweets' worth of whatever this is. Title is from Avenue Q.

Comment Fic Round-Up Post

So I've been writing some things, but they're all over at [livejournal.com profile] cherrybina's journal. Here they are, for posterity and such. All are Inception Arthur/Eames.

In the category of kink:

Rating: NC-17
Length: 22,000 words. Ish.
Summary: Arthur's an underage prodigy in dreamshare, and Eames undertakes the job of teaching him the basics of forgery. That is *so* not how it works out, of course.
Content Notes: Mpreg, underage, genderfuck (Arthur), surrealist dreamscapes, pregnancy kink, and childbirth descriptions.
A/N: I'll post this properly somewhere once it's been through beta; currently it's in comment-fic form, with all the genre's inherent quirks, probably including errors and typos.
No Soul to Sell

And in the category of fluff:

Rating: PG
Length: 800 words.
Summary: Ridic baby fluff. Does what it says on the label.
Ridic Baby Fluff

Rating: PG
Length: 800 words.
Summary: Steinway Verse, sort of, not that you could tell. Arthur and Eames hit Newfoundland. IDEK.
Steinway Fluff in NFLD

Rating: PG-13 for sexual content, I guess
Length: 700 words.
Summary: Steinway Verse, again. Eames likes travelling. Mostly.
Steinway Fluff in San Francisco

Summary: In which Joe is awkward and Tom is insistent and Louis is adorable. Sequel to Unkissed, comes before You Yes You

Length: 6300 words.
Summary: In which there is the TDKR London premiere, skinny-for-his-art Tom, and way more glitter than you'd think. Sequel to Unkissed.
Warnings: Unrepentant schmoop. No, really. Um, what else? Slightly (temporarily) faily sex? Do I even need to warn for this at this point in my fic?... Also, is ear-biting a kink? It's *my* kink now anyway, thanks to Joseph and his adorable ears.
A/N: Thanks to Nancy and Xen for audiencing/beta-ing/handholding, etc. <333 guys.

Okay, okay, so there *might* be a totally epically gratuitous epilogue coming for this, but let's call this the Official Ending and I will post again under the same tag if/when this epilogue materializes. And now... the conclusion:

Fandom: Inception/TDKR RPF I guess
Pairing: Joe/Tom

Summary: Joe isn’t looking for Tom, he’s looking for ten minutes alone to catch up on Twitter and Tumblr -- but, looking for Tom or not, Joe turns a corner, bumps into him, and is too fucking polite to admit that he isn’t really interested in talking.

Wheee! So happy to be posting this next bit. I never imagined, when I wrote a little one-off comment fic for [livejournal.com profile] cherrybina's Tom/Joe fest that it would balloon into a fic that's already over 40K, but it has been a fun thing anyway. Thanks to everyone leaving the awesome comments, they are such an encouragement. I will wrap this up soon!

Oh, and special thanks to [personal profile] anatsuno and [personal profile] xenakis for French help with this part.

Warnings: Edging, orgasm denial (in the service of art, and shit like that.) This is also the part where things get a little angsty, so if you'd rather wait until it's all wrapped up and fixed you may wish to wait for the next part (or maybe the part after that, depending on how I split things up -- I'll let you know.)

Dudes, I have so much IRL work this week, but I keep making (non-existent) time for this fic. Also, as I whined on Twitter today, the real world has jossed this fic (which is about to go pretty damn AU anyway, let's be honest) so from now on let's pretend that canon scheduling is not important, m'kay? As [personal profile] anatsuno says, it's less creepy that way anyway. :D

Hi hi hi I am back from UK visits (meaning of course awake at 5 a.m. local time, sigh) and I have been writing sort of spasmodically at this fic during my whole three weeks away but it's not going nearly as quickly as I'd like.
