Thirty Days of Recs, Day 11: Inception Gen!

[sabinetzin]

Here's the thing: I don't really read gen. I am vaguely aware that, in some circles, this makes me a bad person. But for some reason, Inception seems to be the exception to my shippiness. I keep thinking, "Yeah, yeah, fucking, whatever- what is the team up to?!" So here's some stuff I've been liking.

butterfly dreams by formerlydf
(Inception, Arthur, 1974 words, G)
Here's how good this story is: I didn't even finish reading it before putting it on this list. This is just such a gorgeous look at Arthur.

intuitia by elendraug
(Inception, Yusuf, 448 words, PG)
Yay, Yusuf! This is a neat little glimpse of him and his cat, pre-canon.

Inside Arthur by potboy
(Inception, Eames, Arthur, Yusuf, 974 words, G)
What really strikes me about this fic is the wealth of description. It's very sensual.

Her Morning Elegance by tied_in_a_knot
(Inception, Ensemble, 2458 words, PG, mentions of abuse)
Oh, team. I love them all so, and these snapshots of all their lives are lovely.

Autoimmunity by mercurial_wit
(Inception, Eames, 5590 words, PG)
I really just cannot get enough of Eames backstory, and this fic does a beautiful job of it.

The Esteemed Mr Eames (After the Talented Mr Ripley) by apiphile
(Inception, pre-Arthur/Eames, 2895 words, PG)
Okay, yes, I lied, there is one thing on here that isn't really gen- though it's totally cool, because it's not really all that shippy either. But, I couldn't not include it, because it's just such a pretty story. I really love the way the author uses words, and it's a really cool look at Eames.
