Title: Devious Cartography (aka the guns and casual sex mix)
Characters: Arthur, Neal Caffrey
Summary: Written for my own prompt on inception-kink, which was basically: Neal and Arthur, guns and theft and nice clothes. Arthur/Neal, implied Arthur/Eames. Most of this was inspired by the 'if you're not cheating, you're not trying' quote.

( title from 'Going Postal' by Terry Prachett, which should tell you how much of a mess this turned out to be )

Title: Retribution (aka we need some lady-monsters up in here, stat!)
Characters: Arthur, Eames, movie!John Constantine, other Inception characters, Mazikeen was supposed to carry the later parts of the fic
Summary: Once upon a time, I filled an inception kinkmeme prompt for Arthur and movie!John Constantine as brothers. This is the EPIC CROSSOVER fill that didn't work out. (for those interested, here's the fill that did.)

( The mills of God grind slowly, yet they grind exceeding small, though with patience he stands waiting, with exactness he grinds all )

Sometimes I have to give myself a little time before I'm ready to attach my name to something that I wrote. That's my excuse for not posting this when I finished it this past summer.

Title: Acutus Id Verberat
Characters: Arthur/Eames
Summary: Assassins and thieves aren't supposed to fraternize. Written for this prompt on the kink meme. NC-17, 6,500 words.
Notes: "Acutus id verberat" is the the Thieves' Guild motto and translates to "Whip it quick", meaning to steal something. If you're curious, the Assassins' Guild motto is, "Nil mortifi sine lucre" -- "No killing without payment". Hover cursor over asterisks for footnotes.

Whew! I feel better now, even if this is hardly progress. I just had to get it off my chest.

Inspired by the latest installment of A Softer World:
I wonder how many hauntings go unreported / because wailing and the clank of chains / are still better than an empty house.

IN OTHER NEWS: I want to include a sort of 'author's notes' section to this journal, so I can babble to the Internets about how and why I write and whatnot. I'm trying to figure out a way to do that without interrupting the fic-reading experience of those who aren't interested in my rambling. Comments? Suggestions?
