Ach, des Knaben Augen by Toomuchplor (Explicit)

[klimt-pliny.livejournal.com]

As a longtime lurker, this is my first time driving the van.  It was part of my New Year’s resolution to let the authors and podficcers who create so many wonderful stories know that they are appreciated and admired.  And I think this month will be a grand opportunity to do just that for the many, many, many talented writers in the Inception fandom.

This last weekend was happily spent re-reading old favorites and finding new gems to share in the Inception fandom.  I should note that I ship almost exclusively Arthur/Eames and fall heavily onto the Team Romance side of the fence.  And looking over my lists, you will probably be seeing a lot of AUs.  I am also a podfic addict and proud of it.  In many cases I heard the story before reading it myself and the readers have colored my love of many stories.  Inception fandom is blessed with some prodigiously talented podficcers that I plan to rec as well.  Now on to the reccing!

Fandom: INCEPTION
Title: Ach, des Knaben Augen
Pairing: Arthur/Eames
Story Length: 24k
Author on LJ: http://toomuchplor.dreamwidth.org/
Author on AO3: http://archiveofourown.org/users/toomuchplor/pseuds/toomuchplor
Why this must be read: 

And to start the month of with a bang is Toomuchplor’s first story of her Steinway!verse.  Since it is by Toomuchplor it is a given that it is beautifully written with the characters of Arthur and Eames fully realized.  What makes this even better is that it is an AU set in a conservatory with Arthur being a talented young pianist and Eames the star baritone of the school.  A major joy in the series is that the power and beauty of music is as big a character as the boys are, and we get to see their talent and passion for their art.  And then add in some smoking hot sexy times as whip cream on top.  I am linking to the series page in AO3 because I cannot imagine anyone who reads the first story won’t go immediately on to devour the next 20 stories like I did.

The first story, Ach, das Knaben Augen is podficced, as is Je te veux.  Both by the beautifully voiced Pennyplainknits and Xenakis.  I do truly encourage you to listen with the music as it adds so much context for the stories.

Just so you know, the 'You are about to view content that may not be appropriate for minors' cut is something LJ adds automatically when a user either isn't logged in or has indicated in their options that they'd like to be warned. By adding it manually, it generally makes a user like me who hasn't opted for that think they've been logged out, which can cause confusion. It honestly isn't that big of a deal, but I've seen people get nasty about it before, so I wanted to give you a heads up. :)

This. I started to curse LJ again...

Psst. You might want to fix your cut tag - coding in the for minors boilerplate is just going to make people think they're logged out. I know it made me check.

[loriel-eris.livejournal.com]

Yeah, this. Couldn't figure out what on earth LJ had done, and how I was logged out...

Sorry about that guys! I am not very comfortable on LJ. I just tried to edit this and am not sure I made it better or worse. Time to ask the experts. I appreciate your pointing this out and hope you did go on to enjoy the fic.

Hey sweets, mod here. As a general rule, we prefer that reccers NOT cut this info unless there's something triggery in the actual post. Is there a reason you feel more comfortable cutting? B/c if so let me know and we can figure something out.

[klimt-pliny.livejournal.com]

Nope, my display setting was set wrong and I thought it was intentional to cut with a content warning. And now I can't figure out how to make it all single spaced. Am feeling more than a little foolish, I didn't think I would be having so many problems with Livejournal. If there is a way to fix that I would be glad to learn. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Don't stress, but for future recs, you might want to just use the pre-coded posting template that is included in our posting guidelines. Please let arsenicjade or me know if you have any more trouble. Thanks!
