Summary:
Matt is a bartender trying to pay his way through school; John is a tired cop just looking for a person to talk to.
Review:
In which John and Matt have lead different lives, and yet are still the same people. When John meets Matt after happening upon the bar where Matt works, they click. After their brief conversation the first time, John finds himself returning several times, until they get together. What's great about the story is how in-character it feels. Despite the different circumstances, they still feel like John and Matt, witty banter and all.
My only complaint is that it's a relatively short story, which ends with them getting together romantically and sexily, and is further shortened by it's alternating points of view, in which their meetings are told first from one character's perspective and then the other's. While the plot isn't advanced, the varied perspectives make up for it. I would have loved more, to see how their lives would have gone from there, but it appears to the the only Die Hard storytyrical has written. But it stands alone very nicely. It's a fun little story about two men who meet by chance, have great chemistry, and get together.

Title: Leaving This Old Fairground Behind by linckia_blue
Fandom: Inception
Pairing: gen, Arthur/Eames
Categories: AU, drama, established relationship, family, epistolary (just the epilogue)
Length: Long (17,500 words)
Warnings: past (canon) character death, bad/negligent parenting

Summary:
Circus Au. Yusuf is the magician, Ariadne is the equestrian vaulter, Arthur is the fire-dancer, Eames is the trapeze artist, Dom is the ringmaster, Robert is the horse-whisperer son of rival circus Fischer and Friends owner. Espionage and popcorn ensue.
Review:
Despite the apparently crack-y concept of the characters all being circus performers, this is a deeper story about finding family. Ariadne leaves home, and finds a place with the Dream Circus. There's also a bit of intrigue, with a rival circus company trying to squeeze them out of business, but the main thrust is Ariadne making a place for herself in the circus. Arthur and Eames also sorting out their partnership; they've long been partners both personally and professionally, but are having a bit of unexpressed conflict at the beginning of the story. The Dream Circus itself is in dire financial straits, but the self-made family pulls together and makes things work.
I loved the relationships in the story, which form a complex tapestry of interconnections, and the talents each person has. The descriptions of Arthur and Eames' act and some of the other visual details are particularly vivid, and I really enjoy the characterizations, especially Robert's.
A wonderful AU story from start to finish, capped off with an epistolary section consisting of a newspaper article about the circus, with interviews and some information on the Dream Circus' successes after the end of the story-proper.

Arthur and Eames also sorting out their partnership; they've long been partners both personally and professionally, but are having a bit of unexpressed conflict at the beginning of the story. The Dream Circus itself is in dire financial straits, but the self-made family pulls together and makes things work.
I loved the relationships in the story, which form a complex tapestry of interconnections, and the talents each person has. The descriptions of Arthur and Eames' act and some of the other visual details are particularly vivid, and I really enjoy the characterizations, especially Robert's.
A wonderful AU story from start to finish, capped off with an epistolary section consisting of a newspaper article about the circus, with interviews and some information on the Dream Circus' successes after the end of the story-proper.

Categories: AU, drama, established relationship, family, epistolary (just the epilogue)

Warnings: past (canon) character death, bad/negligent parenting

Author Website: Masterlist of Fic
Summary:
Circus Au. Yusuf is the magician, Ariadne is the equestrian vaulter, Arthur is the fire-dancer, Eames is the trapeze artist, Dom is the ringmaster, Robert is the horse-whisperer son of rival circus Fischer and Friends owner. Espionage and popcorn ensue.
Review:
Despite the apparently crack-y concept of the characters all being circus performers, this is a deeper story about finding family. Ariadne leaves home, and finds a place with the Dream Circus. There's also a bit of intrigue, with a rival circus company trying to squeeze them out of business, but the main thrust is Ariadne making a place for herself in the circus. Arthur and Eames also sorting out their partnership; they've long been partners both personally and professionally, but are having a bit of unexpressed conflict at the beginning of the story. The Dream Circus itself is in dire financial straits, but the self-made family pulls together and makes things work.
