and if the city never sleeps / then that makes two
Have I ever mentioned how much I love serial-killer romance? Like, a "normal" person (of clearly questionable morality) romantically involved with a socio/psychopath? Well, I do.
Have I also mentioned how much I love Inception fandom? Because it gives me things like Arthur, the gentleman killer and Eames, the profiler. <333
Can I also mention how much it pleases me that this takes place in NYC? I may need to go re-read the Detective Kathy Mallory novels, by Carol O'Connell. I highly recommend this series!!!! O'Connell hasn't come out with a new one in a year or two, but I still have hope because she's done this before (to write stand-alone mystery novels) and then gone back to the Mallory series. BADASS SOCIOPATHIC FEMALE NYPD DETECTIVE: what more could you ask for? Well, I suppose a romance, but considering the level of her sociopathy, I don't know how much it would really work. So basically, she's as awesome as it gets. <3

So hey, I've been reading fanfic (off and on) for about 14 years now. And I've got all these new friends, which is lovely! (Hi guys! *waves*) And I've been reccing so much from Inception fandom because the writing is inordinately high-quality and prolific. So I find myself wondering... WHAT DO *YOU GUYS* LIKE TO READ? (Mostly I mean fic-wise, but include any kind of reading you wish!) I'd do a poll but why should I make you put your answers into a little ticky box?

cobweb_diamond's serial-killer WIP: the origin thread.
Or if you want to go direct to the fic:
- commentfic: why Arthur will never again go by another name
- the part where Arthur "protects" Eames by sabotaging his subway train (in 7 parts)
- sequel to the subway fic, involving a tattoo gun (in 3 parts)
- sequel fic: wherein Eames is kidnapped by someone not-Arthur (in 5 parts)
- future fic: wherein Eames snoops through Arthur's stuff (in 2 parts)

Well of course Roarke is arrogant. I would go so far as to say that it surpasses 'passion' as his defining character trait.
You should absolutely look them up again. I think that they stay fresh and good books because she actually has fun writing them, unlike a lot of her trilogies and whatnot, which are so formulaic to the point that I won't touch any of them.
(swear to gods, I read one story involving a typewriter, then six months later read the same story. The names had been changed, and the typewriter was now a laptop. everything else was exactly the same. I doubt she even realized that she did it, either, what with the hundreds of books she's written in between the two)
I will happily share credit with

I assume you've already read it, but if you haven't then I
highly recommendINSIST that you do! <3And, oh, if you have any recs in BBC Sherlock fandom, I would love to know what they are. I have dipped my toes in a teeny tiny bit, when I have time (which hasn't been much, lately).

When choosing a fandom, (or being chosen by one) the source material has to allow for good fic. Otherwise it's simply not worth my time, you know? So Inception=fandom-hunting, GO! while, say, JD Robb=not so much. I don't know, it's hard to really explain, I guess? Sorry. /notcoherent

the In Death stuff, I'll give her one thing; NR writes a very tight cannon. As much as I love Eve and Peabody and the rest, there's no room to really stretch my wings with those characters. That world would be absolutely stunning to explore, but my biggest fandom pet peeve is stories centered around OC's. So I won't do that, either.
