Bingo square: Ageplay -- 30 Inception recs
Okay, I'm going to try to do a row built on a foundation of Inception recs. I think not many of you are reading in that fandom, but I'll say again that one nice thing for anyone who hasn't seen the movie or didn't care for it is that -- well, it doesn't really matter. Fanon characterization often bears little resemblance to canon characterization (what there was of it, anyway), especially for the PWPs, half of them are AUs, and the rest you can generally pick up on your own.

Ageplay Recs
One thing Inception fandom does really well is ageplay fics, including some roleplay as well as AUs where one character is younger than the other. There are a lot of them, and a lot of them are sizzlin'. Here are 30 of my favorites, categorized and blurbed for your browsing pleasure. Assume Arthur/Eames unless told otherwise. (For the uninitiated: Arthur/Eames is to Inception fandom what Sheppard/McKay is-was?-to SGA, which is even more than what House/Wilson is to House fandom, because House/Wilson at least has competition from House/Cuddy.)
Note: Many of these involve a character who is under the legal age of consent. However, they are all consensual in the sense that both parties enjoy the goings-on. Except for one, which is noted.
ETA: Now with two more stories and a completed WIP.
Age difference (AU)
The one where they're neighbors and Arthur has a crush, and mmm - Ginger Sling with a Pineapple Heart and sequel Hot Glare/Jerk Off by reliablemachine
The other one where they're neighbors and Arthur decides it's time to go all the way - Only Feel Where Our Bodies Meet by cherrybina
The two where they're apartment neighbors and Eames inducts Arthur into sexual adulthood - Jailbait!Arthur and the joys of anal sex by five_ht (so hot, nnng) and educating the young by anonymous
The one where they meet at a dance club - This fumble has become biblical by imogenedisease ( series)
The one where Arthur keeps eyeing mixed martial arts fighter Eames at the gym - Definition by cherryvanilla
The one where Eames tries not to perv on his boss's flirtatious son, and fails - Making Partner by anonymous
The one where Arthur sets his eyes on the man he wants to lose his virginity to - Welcome to Vegas by versy
The one where patient!Arthur has a gut-twisting, humiliating crush on pediatrician!Eames, and yes, I've recced this before, go read it again - Sickness and Shame by recrudescence ETA: and sequel Prognosis
The one where Eames falls for his English teacher - Maybe I'm Already Crazy by foxxcub
The one where Arthur the prodigy comes on to his professor as soon as he graduates - On the Curve by butterflythread (+ sequel)
The one where the professor is as young as the student - untitled by anonymous
The one where Arthur gets flirty during a fake-ID photo shoot - Celluloid seventeen by anonymous
The one where Arthur takes home the kid working at a watch table on the street - been saving it all for you by sometimesalways (cherryvanilla)
The one where Mal and Cobb "adopt" Arthur at college and Eames can't help himself - you're a genius, you've got to remember by obfuscate
I want to rec this gymnast/coach UST fic so badly, so badly, but it is not yet finished. It's being updated, but it's not there yet. Gah, here, you make up your mind ETA: and now it is complete! Bend It by butterflythread
**Issues of consent** The one where Arthur meets Phillipa after many years away from the Cobb household, and hoo boy do things go from there. With Eames playing watchdog/voyeur. Incredibly hot and incredibly wrong. Only be warned (some more), the ending sort of drops off a cliff. I heard from someone you're still pretty by onelittlesleep
skellerbvvt's epic-length comment-fic Rule Ten has many kinks folded into it (BDSM, obedience, foot fetish…) and it feels strange to rec it for just one-in fact, I am planning to rec it for a different square as well-but age is at the core of it -- everything that happens pivots around the fact that Arthur will not touch Eames until Eames is 18.
ETA: Can't believe I forgot La vie de famille a.k.a. babysitter!Arthur, by Lenore - the one where Arthur gets a summer job minding single-dad Eames' son, and things develop from there.
ETA: And a new one: Lap It Up by recrudescence - in which bored high school senior Arthur convinces his college friend Dom to bring him along to campus one summer weekend, where he meets an older, sexy and increasingly willing Eames.
Both young (AU); or where one is in high school and the other in college
The one that starts with a game of Seven Minutes in Heaven and ends in a library - Dreams are for rookies and sequel A Gentleman Not In Your Books by foxxcub
The one where high school seniors Arthur and Ariadne decide they both want to lose their virginity to college student Eames - Cause = Time by greyson
The one where Arthur was a sock model and Eames is an art student who recognizes him - Portrait of the Artist, Not of the Sitter by anonymous
The two college AUs where Arthur meets Eames online - You're Waiting for a Stranger by mixtapestar and Press New Game (+ sequel) by reliablemachine
The one that nicely captures the feelings of being in love in college - Glycerine series by cherryvanilla
Roleplay (canon-based)
The one where Arthur has to go undercover at a boys' school, and it's sexy but also nice for how it shows one character really getting into the other one's kink - Seventeen by eleveninches
The one with the startlingly effective dream-forging schoolboy/headmaster roleplay - Take What's Yours and I'll Take What's Mine by recrudescence
And one for the road: toomuchplor's Steinway!verse music conservatory AU is brilliant and heart-tugging and long and wonderful and filled with sexual tension and well-paced and many other adjectives. Arthur and Eames are both college-aged, but I wouldn't rec it because of that - I'd rec it for being an absolutely lovely and of course enviously well-written story with a series of sequels that are alternately funny and sexy and sad. So go read it if you haven't already.
