Arthur/Eames
tailor shop AU / romance
Will Arthur ever fit in at the somewhat snooty financial firm he's working at in London? The suit tailor!Eames makes him will certainly fit better than any he has ever worn. They seem a pretty good fit for each other as well. Sloooooow burn.
I've slowed down a bit, but I'll be finished in time. Trying to decide how far to go in their relationship.
Sprinting on Slack is a great motivator, btw

Anticipated wordcount: < 5 000
List pairings(s) or whether it is Gen: Arthur/Eames

Summary of plot (rough idea is fine): Saito is a pimp/ringmaster, Arthur is the best trainer in this part of the universe and Eames is their new purchase/finding - well at least in a big short.
Any other comments? sadly, our universe doesn't want me to progress on this. First my computer died, poor old thing, and when I bought a new one, my boss finally said it's okay for me to take leave, so I was finally able to take a well deserved rest. My main file sits on my work's computer hardrive and I haven't been able to copy it to my new computer at home yet (yes, I mostly write at work - what do I do you ask? well, I'm a state official aka office worker aka I write fanfiction at office hours and bark at every petiotioner that comes to me because it causes a distraction and I lose my inspiration). Monday I'm back to work and I'll resume my writting. I know, you didn't need any explanations - I'm just a chatty one

List pairings(s) or whether it is Gen Arthur/Eames
Genre: AU, humor, romance
Summary of plot (rough idea is fine): Eames works at Whole Foods (with Yusuf). Arthur, Ari, and Yusuf get together for caffeine-fueled game nights. When Yusuf drags Eames to one of them, none of them realize Arthur is the customer he's had a crush on. It turns out, Eames sucks at videogames.
Any other comments? I wanted to be done by the time I made the check-in post this week, but I have one last scene to write. I anticipate being done within the week. I'll be traveling Oct 1-16th, but will be reachable by email/slack, and will likely be working on the story in the evenings if I'm not already done with it before I go (which is my goal). (And somehow I managed to only copy half the template when I first posted this. Sorry.)
Update: 2600 words later today, it's finished. It still needs to be edited but I can safely say it's done. And before my trip. Woot.

Anticipated wordcount: 8 000-10 000, max.
List pairings(s) or whether it is Gen Arthur/Eames
Genre: AU, Magical Realism, Case Fic, possible Erotica towards the end - (Erotica is looking more and more likely).
Summary of plot (rough idea is fine): Eames, Arthur and Ariadne get dragged into a job that's clearly Bad News. Or rather, Ariadne and Arthur drag Eames into said job because there are issues they just can't resist poking at. As utterly suicidal as it is to accept a job that could involve 'Others', Eames can't make himself leave it all to Arthur and Ariadne. Must be going soft. Also, magical tattoos.
Any other comments? The Not Fun Things going on in my life have finally settled down to manageable levels. Thus I've gotten the whole outline and 1,5 chapters out of 4 down in a few sittings. Am hoping to get 90% of the story written this Sunday. Should be able to send the first draft to my beta reader during next week!

Ariadne and Arthur, the shelter managers, are grateful. Those firefighters are a great bunch. Except for that new guy. Eames. Arthur doesn't like him AT ALL.

Any other comments? oh god help I have to move to the US from NZ in November and I've never ever defaulted on a fest in my life and I'm not planning on starting with this one (because this is one of my faves) but just FYI the writing of this fic is going to be accompanied by a lot of flailing and I'm going to have to embrace my lack of coherency and turn it into a deliberate stylistic choice ....

Anticipated wordcount: (just a ball park figure is fine) between 5K-8K (though I have been known to go over)
List pairings(s) or whether it is Gen Arthur/Eames and Blake/Bane
Genre: Inception/Dark Knight Rises crossover AU
Summary of plot (rough idea is fine): Eames used to live a quiet life in Mobasa—scamming tourists, hustling casinos—until Arthur appeared one day and opened his eyes to the world of dream-share. However, the deeper Arthur takes him into his own mind, the more Eames uncovers a dark and disturbing truth inside of himself—one he will do almost anything to hide from.
Any other comments? It's been a slow start for me. Things hit a bit of a snag when we realized our first idea had already been done, and then RL decided to eat up most of my free writing time. But now, I have a solid idea, an outline, and more time on my hands. I've got this.

Anticipated wordcount: ~4000-5000
List pairings(s) or whether it is Gen Arthur/Eames
Genre: Drama? I guess. (flangst, elements of magical realism)
Summary of plot: Eames finds himself adrift after waking up, absent any and all memories. After 6 years of trying to figure out who he is along with trying to keep some of the more... fantastical... parts of him under the wraps, he has a run-in with a man who might just be the key to unlocking said mystery. Arthur.
Any other comments? Kinda nervous but pumped. Really looking forward to the end product because I swear the story has a mind of its own. I just need to hunker down and get writing.
