Why This Must Be Read: This author nails the Inception universe. A job goes awry for Arthur, and he ends up relying on Ariadne for help - who he hasn't seen since he'd broken off a relationship with her. It's a long fic at around 23k. This is really excellent, the settings-descriptions are so realistic one feels like being there with them and the utter competence of both Arthur and Ariadne is fantastic. Backstory development and pitch-perfect characterization. This whole story has the feel of a dash of film noire which is utterly fantastic. It also feels thoroughly researched and that is such a refreshing, wonderful change.

There's a sequel too, which is just as good at around 20k.

Why This Must Be Read: This short story is utterly adorable - a missing scene of sorts after Lizzy and Darcy's engagement, it finds the newly engaged couple discussing what names they should call each other now that they are going to be married. It captures the flirty, teasing tone of the engagement chapter in the book just beautifully.

'Darcy, then,' she said, entertained at the idea of them deciding on her address by its degree of impertinence. 'If one cannot be impertinent to the Mister, it must be taken out.'

'Bingley uses Darcy,' said Darcy, now looking at her, with a smile--such a smile that she was just now getting used to recognize in his face. She had been, she mused, rather blind. 'He is rarely impertinent.'
