Damnit, I remember this one too, but I can't place it for the freaking life of me. I almost had it at the mention of lasagna and then it went away. If I can recall it, I'll let you know.

Edit: Was it a standalone or part of a series? I'm thinking of a couple of "Arthur pretends to be a prostitute" fics, as well as a couple of works in which he is a prostitute. I'm just trying to remember the one with the damned lasagna. Argh!

"Practice Makes Perfect" by helenish, and you're right, she did write a bunch of one-shots with the same theme, though not connected in plot

Oh, thank you so much. Between Arthur/Eames and Derek/Stiles, I've been going crazy over the past few months trying to hunt down past fics I've read and wanted to re-read. There is a worrying amount of "Deleted" entries in my history on AO3, and no way to see what works were deleted, let alone whether the authors orphaned their accounts. *goes into another crying jag*

At least yet another fic has been found. Thanks again!

You have an amazing memory for detail! Field and Stream - correct! Lasagna - correct!

It's "Practice Makes Perfect" by helenish, one of the ones that's only on LJ and never made it to A03.

Oh. My. God. Thank you!!! I was Googling and Googling combinations of Arthur/Eames lasagne and Field and Stream and getting absolutely nowhere. You're my hero.
