Why this must be read:
I began my month at CV with my favorite fic in this or any fandom. I'm ending it with my other favorite fic, version Arthur/Eames.
When I first recced Weatherfront I said her fics speak for themselves, and they do; the fics I've recced by her this month are a cross-section of her amazing abilities in worldbuilding, meta, and romance. This last one combines a bit of all three, but above all, it's the fic that encapsulates, in just 5,000 words, everything that I love about this pairing: their BAMFery, their push and pull with each other, their fear and hope and trepidation and fierce devotion to each other. Their faith in what they are together.
"It's Automatic" contains beautiful moments and imagery, and lines that are inscribed permanently on my heart. But even more, it containsfucking in a bathtub full of money a kind of active address to the whole fandom, with its fixation on this pairing that has managed to fuel endless amounts of creativity, speculation, and love for the last two years. It's a sort of template for how to believe, how to throw caution to the wind and love recklessly, fully. "I may not be any good for you, but I'll promise I'll be worth your time," says Arthur--and that's the voice of the OTP addressing all of us shippers, clutching our hearts the way Eames clutches his Taiwanese metro token.
It's Automatic

If you want more inception recs:
- Mementis' rare slash recs are a great source of non-A/E recs: Part 1 and Part 2, as her inception tag generally is for Arthur/Eames
- I am the last person to go to for Cobb/Arthur recs, but if that's your thing,aliunde_recs has a whole slew of them
- I have like 1,200 or so on my pinboard account
- Phenylic's enormous Arthur/Eames rec list currently has over 600 fics
- All of the rec lists mentioned in Lacey's crack_van Inception overview are great
Thanks for letting me drive the Inception van this month (like Yusuf! :D)! I had a blast.
