I felt rage toward every person who walked past my desk at work while I was trying to read this today:

Patience, a Steady Hand by helenish (warning, there's non-con of the Viking variety at the beginning

It's definitely a great story, and I love the stuff she's written in Inception (though I wish she would come back and finish some of it).

PS: as someone in Inception fandom, I think you should come over to the dark side :D

Yes, I got into the 'this is not happening' verse and was sad when it seemed to just end, wah.

I've actually been enjoying reading in this fandom (for one week and one writer, but) because I have no desire to write in it! Usually I'm reading in a fandom that I'm driven to create something or other in for whatever reason, and it creates this particular sort of angst even if I love something I'm reading by someone else because they're doing A or B with the characters that I didn't think to do or didn't do as well, whereas with this I can just read it as a pure reader, which is nice..

[bauble]

Haha, no worries. I have other friends who are pure readers in Inception and don't feel compelled to write. It's a fun fandom.

[hollycomb]

YES omg, the ending. ;___; I was worried, but then, the last part, guhhh, it's an epilogue I should strive to emulate, as opposed to my 30k epilogues that introduce a new generation etc.

There is not a fucking chance in hell I would ever read this. But, I encourage anyone who wants to write 40,000-word viking fics to check out the South Park fandom.

[hollycomb]

lol, fair enough, but I think you would like it! I never ever thought I would read anything in this fandom, I didn't even like the movie very much, but man. It's good!!

[hollycomb]

I have seen it, and I liked it, and their dynamic! And I love all Viking AUs, always. Thanks for the link!

Guh, I kept seeing her rec'd on the anon meme (I'm addicted to anon memes in fandoms that I have no investment in, apparently), so I gave her a shot thinking there would be this huge library of stuff to read, and after a week I'm done with all of it. ;___; Totally worth the time spent, though, I really like her style.
