Some of the best fics I read this week was stuff I found on previous fanfic friday posts so I’m not gonna link em but thanks to musyc for the Coco recs & suncani for the leverage fic!

You, Soft and Only (9400 words) by thehoyden
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Good Omens (TV), Good Omens - Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett
Rating: Explicit
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Aziraphale/Crowley (Good Omens)
Summary:

He hadn’t expected a sudden lapful of angel.

“Very sorry about this,” Aziraphale said, and kissed him.

Historical shenanigans w/fake dating (aka Crowley and Aziraphale will take every chance they can get to hook up)

Phone Tag (3170 words) by Starlingthefool
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Inception (2010)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings
Relationships: Arthur/Eames (Inception)
Summary:

For this prompt on the Inception kink meme: Due to his dyslexia, Eames has memorized tons and tons of literature. He listens to books on tape on his iPod all the time. Arthur has shitty taste in everything (except suits) and listens to, like, radio-friendly rock while Eames is chillaxing with Anna Karenina on long aeroplane journeys.

Because Arthur is efficient and thinks he is being considerate, he records voicemails for Eames instead of emailing him like everyone else. Except when he's talking he tends to give asides along with the official stuff, and Eames replies to him via voicemail, and so develops a kind of AUDIO-THEMED EPISTOLARY ROMANCE ACROSS THE GLOBE.

I WAS tempted to leave a comment complaining about how impugning Arthur’s taste was an undeserved diss on Terry Pratchett, but honestly he’d probably find being described as “books with dragons on the covers” hilarious and the rest of this fic was absolutely fantastic, so

Lines That We'll Draw (21086 words) by VIII_XIII
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Inception (2010)
Rating: Explicit
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Arthur/Eames (Inception)
Summary:

And you know, there's something really liberating about putting your thoughts down and sending them out and not being able to take them back. I think you're probably reading this and thinking that I'm significantly weirder deep down inside than you'd thought, and that's all right because it's the truth. But maybe you don't care and you've already thrown this away and you'll toss any other ones I send out with the junk mail, unopened. And that'd be okay too. It's not the reading that counts; it’s the writing.

There are two boxes full of letters in Eames's desk drawer. The ones he receives from Arthur, and the ones he wishes he could send in reply.

A second inception epistolary fic, apparently I was in a mood this week? But this ones a little slower and more introspective, as opposed to flirting via e. e. cummings
