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

cobweb_diamond's serial-killer WIP: the origin thread.

Or if you want to go direct to the fic:

1. commentfic: why Arthur will never again go by another name
   
2. the part where Arthur "protects" Eames by sabotaging his subway train (in 7 parts)
   
3. sequel to the subway fic, involving a tattoo gun (in 3 parts)
   
4. sequel fic: wherein Eames is kidnapped by someone not-Arthur (in 5 parts)
   
5. future fic: wherein Eames snoops through Arthur's stuff (in 2 parts)

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?

Oh man, I'm so boring! I'm open to reading most of the fic that's posted in the community but I don't get around to a lot...orz. If it's NC-17 I'll almost always read it, though. /likes the porn

I've been trying to write something too, but I'm soo lazy. But killer!Arthur...:O I don't know if I can take something like that! T_T

I have to say that Inception fandom produces unusually high quality fic. And a LOT of it. So, for a while, I was actually reading EVERYTHING (well, everything Arthur/Eames, and a few others) that was linked on inceptiondaily. But I was... um... obsessing over fandom to the exclusion of anything else but work, pretty much, and after a while I realized I missed hanging out with my friends. Also, then hockey season started ahahah. It still took me like a month into hockey season (November) to be less interested in random fic than in watching games!

And partially, I think, I was able to narrow down which authors I would just read by name. So my list is of fic to read is shorter -- which is good because I don't have as much time to devote, but also I occasionally am sad at the thought I might be missing out on something amazingly epic.

But then I figure someone would rec the hell out of it and it would get around fandom. Like that AMAZING Arthur-centric gen fic I just recced in the comments. It's fantastic but I don't even recognize the author's name! =(

No worries about not being into killer!Arthur! Just like kinks, they don't appeal to everyone. =D
