Inception (2010)
Skin Deep by Starlingthefool (Arthur/Eames)
A story that starts with a spiral, ends with a fire, and is stained with ink and blood in the middle. (In other words, a tattoo shop AU that totally took on a mind of its own.)

Marvel 616
W.I.P.E. by tsukinofaerii (Steve Rogers/Tony Stark)
An AU of the events covering SIEGE and immediate after. When Tony is rebooted after deleting his brain, he's left with no memory of anything, and lingering programs that keep him from finding out everything he missed. Sometimes you just need to start over, but there's always a place in every plan for a backup.
Too clever for words. I love what the author has done via formatting

Sherlock (TV)
Shadows on the Wall by AraSigyrn (Sherlock Holmes/John Watson)
John came back from Afghanistan psychic. Spoilers to The Great Game
Oh em gee. Just lovely.

White Collar
Third Date by lightgetsin (Peter/Elizabeth, Neal/Elizabeth, Peter/Neal, Peter/Neal/Elizabeth)
"That's our man," El said. They looked at each other, mutually startled. El breathed in and reached out her hand; Peter grabbed it and held tight. "Peter," she said. "Peter, I'm falling really hard, here."

X-Men: First Class (2011), X-Men - All Media Types
Enigma by Yahtzee (Erik Lehnsherr/Charles Xavier)
Written for the following prompt: Erik dies, or finds a reversey-time mutant, or a magical time travelling device, and wakes up in the past. This time, though, it's before he ever met Charles - in fact, it's before his mother died. He can save his mother that one time (thanks to his mastery over powers carrying back), but what does Erik do after that? Does he stick around, or escape and run to find Charles again (and hope everything doesn't go wrong)?
*weeps* I rec this, it made me cry.

It takes a heap o' livin' by Etharei Etharei (Erik Lehnsherr/Charles Xavier)
They have their day jobs. And then, they have this. Modern!AU in which they are the superheroes of mutantkind.
Want, I want this so bad.

MCIS: First Case by Pookaseraph (Erik Lehnsherr/Charles Xavier)
Erik Lehnsherr considers himself a great MCIS agent, and he puts up with a lot from his boss - Moira MacTaggart - in the name of solving crimes against mutants, but he's not so sure about this new empath, Charles Xavier. Their first case together will test Erik's patience, but doubtless be the beginning of a brilliant friendship.
Gorgeous AU

Humane Society by smilesbackwards (Erik Lehnsherr/Charles Xavier)
10,000. Once Erik finally allows himself to decide that Charles is pretty much the best thing since sliced bread, he spends the next week being incredibly bitter that he's Charles' cat and not his boyfriend
Reaches levels of adorable awesome so high as to be a health hazard

break through the cracks and bring me home by acetamide (Erik Lehnsherr/Charles Xavier)
Erik runs... and then comes home

Time to Grow by zarah5 (Erik Lehnsherr/Charles Xavier)
In which you'll find chess dates which aren't dates (or maybe Charles is wrong about that). -- Based on First Class, this turns (slightly) AU during the beach scene.
