Okay, so this is driving me crazy. There was a AE Inception fic that had Eames as the host of a television cooking show, and Arthur and Ariadne were fans who watched his show and went to one of his book signings. And I remember one of Eames's tv episodes featured him showing his viewers how to use various parts of a pig when cooking food. Of course this entailed him going to a local slaughterhouse and taking off his shirt so that he wouldn't get bloodstains on it, because Eames is shameless. For the life of me, I cannot remember the fic, and believe me, I have Googled every variation of "inception + fic + eames + cooking show"

So my harddrive crashed yesterday. This was not surprising. I'd been taking care of my suspiciously slow computer for a few days like it was a drunk friend from out of town, so I had piled it on top of frozen vegetables wrapped in dish towels and done a Restore Point so that I could pull all my files off. Still took forever, and I was up till like 4AM. Grumble grumble.

Unfortunately, engineering requires a great deal of proprietary software that I don't currently have on my loaner laptop, so I basically have to go into the labs to work, which is not cool, as I have a major homework due this week for Dark Arts. I am under a lot of frustration and work and sadfeels at the moment, so if anyone has any fic recs they would like to put forward, I would love to have something to come home and read at the end of a long and tiresome day.

A Suitable Lover by plumblossom which is contemporary fiction, comedic in the way Shakespeare wrote (misunderstandings abound, but not goofy.) Her other works are definitely worth reading too, but this is my favorite.

And I'm not sure how much you like fairytales, but Qui has a significant amount of fairytale rewrites, all of which are fun, enjoyable, and complete. All of her writing is good too.
