Summary Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats - H.L. Mencken
Author Notes Written for the i_reversebang. I claimed some amazing art by forgerness, it's seriously amazing and just man I cannot believe it - I wasn't even going to write anything for this but I saw that one and had to claim it. Even if it's a pairing I've never written before. I hope the fic ends up living up to the gorgeous art she created. And you should definitely go check it out. Click the banner to see the art.

Title: It Was Not Your Fault, But Mine (And It Was Your Heart On The Line)
Author: acquiescence_
Artist: madnessisreal
Word Count: ~ 22,000
Rating: NC-17
Notes: Based on Haruki Murakami's Hard-boiled Wonderland and the End of the World.
Characters/Pairings: Arthur/Eames, appearances by Dom Cobb, Mal Cobb, Ariadne, Yusuf, Saito, and OCs
Summary: After the Fischer job, Saito keeps most of the team under his employ should he ever have need of their services again. One of those times arrives and Arthur takes the lead on their second inception job - it ought to be simple and straight forward. However, things are rarely ever so simple when Eames is involved. Arthur has to deal with the past, and his own fears for the future, all while making sure the job goes smoothly, but Eames doesn't make things easy on him - no matter how much Arthur wishes he would.

This is the story of Arthur and the many times he wanted to kill Eames, a librarian and the historian who becomes infatuated with him, Rio, and town histories that make no sense, and Mal.




A/N: Written for the inception_bang.

So I've had it in my mind to write a fic that tied into the plot of my favorite book since I first started exploring the Inception Fandom. Hard-boiled Wonderland and the End of the World by Haruki Murakami, is by far the best book I have ever read, and if you haven't read it you best check yourself and get on that stat. But I thought the idea of the story, the sort of ground work for it was just the perfect setting for a fandom that deals primarily in the world created in the mind.

So it was with that in mind (heh) that I set to create this story. I'm not entirely sure how successful I was in the end, telling two stories and bringing them together in the end. However, I am very pleased with the way this turned out. And I hope you'll enjoy it! Most heartfelt thanks too for Bex for reading this over for me, apostrophes and commas will forever be my nemeses.

Also seriously go tell madnessisreal how utterly amazing her artwork is, I am just blown away by it. It's so fabulous and I really couldn't have asked for anything better, it sums up everything so nicely and I'm in love forever. &hearts &hearts &hearts

Title: Life Goes On
Author: acquiescence_
Artist: pinkelephant42
Word Count: ~ 15,500
Rating: R
Characters/Pairings: charlie Weasley/Neville Longbottom, with apperances by assorted Weasleys, Harry, and Hermione
Warnings Sexual content, Angst, Alcohol Abuse, Canon Compliant through the end of DH, EWE
Summary: Charlie is not in a good place after the war, dealing with the loss of his brother takes it's toll on him and he looks for solace in an unlikely place - Neville. Neville is trying to find his place in life now that the war is over and finds himself brought into the Weasley family, and more specifically into Charlie's life. And the two have to find a way to make this work.

A/N: So my friend kaellite happens to love the pairing Charlie/Neville, I was writing this fic that was just going to be a few thousand words about Charlie meeting Neville and that would be it. And then my friend told me about the Neville Big Bang, and suggested I sign up - and so I agreed. And the fic that was supposed to be 3k tops ended up turning into over 15k words.

Overall I'm really happy with how it turned out, it was fun to write. It's been a long time since I've written an actual fic in the Harry Potter universe, I mostly stick to RP these days, but it was good to write something this big for the first fandom I ever wrote for.

The fic was originally posted by the mods at nevillebigbang and archived somewhere off LJ, and now I'm able to post it here since the challenge has run it's course, so it's finally being posted to my LJ where it should have been from the start. No I'm not bitter about a poorly run big bang challenge, why do you ask?

But Please check out the art and tell my artist that she did a lovely job, cause she did.
