 May 6th - Badass Day - In honor of Thor coming out and the 42 seconds that launched this crazy pairing that doesn’t know when to quit, create a work with our guys being badasses! Maybe some Coulson Compentency Kink! A Strike Team Delta Mission! Clint not missing anything!

May 7th - Sex/Romance Day - Time to get romantic, kinky, somewhere between, or somehow all of the above(?) It’s basically what it says on tin.

May 8th - Disability Day -  create a work should at least reference either Clint’s deafness and/or Phil’s missing limb

 May 9th - AU Day - Time to get those creative juices flowing create a work that doesn’t occur in canon! Whether this is an alternate timeline or complete AU is up to you.

I hope you have the best birthday ever, @wali21!

Title: Out Of Reach

Summary: Arthur invites Eames somewhere not work-related for the very first time.

For: @motionalocean for @eamesstupidcupid exchange.

Prompt: Stargazing and Secrets

THANK YOU to all who read/click this! You are amazing and make my day SO BRIGHT! I adore each and every one of you! <3!  

Eames exits through the swishy doors leading from the arrivals terminal at Los Angeles International Airport and into the bright light and smoggy air of LA. The sudden dry heat after being on an airplane and then in the airport terminal shocking his system. He can’t wait to get out of his suit jacket, undo his cufflinks and roll up his shirtsleeves.

An Inception fic for Eames’ Stupid Cupid 2021! Prompt: Champagne, Cuddling, Confessions

for @wali21

Arthur and Eames play a little drinking game Arthur calls Kiss or Confess. To his utter surprise, confessions happen… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

Rating: T

Tags: Snowed In, Power Outage, wood stove, Couch Cuddles, Drinking Games, inappropriate gift-giving, safe house

Eames tossed another log in the wood stove when Arthur got up to retrieve a fresh bottle from the snow outside. When Arthur returned, Eames shamelessly prodded him into the corner of the sofa to use as a backrest.

“No one I’d rather be with during a power outage in a snowstorm,” Eames said as he settled between Arthur’s thighs comfortably, laying his head back against Arthur’s shoulder. “And no one else I know would stock a safe house with excellent champagne.”

Arthur shrugged, a little smile playing about his mouth. “Reaching a safe house seems like a perfectly acceptable reason to celebrate.”

Eames turned his head to flash him an affectionate grin and Arthur took a sip and sternly resisted the stupid soft feeling flooding his chest cavity. “Your turn,” he muttered.

“Oh is it? Hmm, let’s see now. Well, I’ve never actually liked that brown suit of yours, my darling.”

Hi ya!
