I have nothing against AUs! At this point, I'd be tempted to write the Inception circus! The Inception team as wedding planners (taffeta makes Arthur break out in hives, so Eames wants to use it everywhere all the time)! The one where they use the PAVIS to send you into video games instead of dreams, and people pay lots of money to get three lives and a chance at leading a fake army, and Eames gets totally hot for how much Arthur kicks ass and takes names at zombie games, and Arthur keeps threatening to kill him for not mentioning that there would be zombies (he wouldn't have worn his new tie, dammit, nevermind that the blood isn't real). I want a billion and two words of Arthur and Eames snarking and bantering and then making out! But I can never figure out how to get from [vague idea of a story] to ARTHUR/EAMES FOREVER OTP!!!

...Actually, come to think of it, that could be the problem I'm having with the bakery fic. Puck too busy baking things and pining to get with the making out!

(I am the exact same way when I see a big bang challenge! Only then I sign up and never finish the fic. /o\)
