Inception (2010)

25,127 Nearly Home by [archiveofourown.org profile] toomuchplor , [archiveofourown.org profile] xenakis  (E) Relentlessly adorable kidfic neatly blended with movie canon.
Arthur and Eames are on the verge of giving up mind crime when Cobb convinces Arthur to be his point man on one last job — which rather inevitably goes wrong. Eames is pulled into the mess as Cobb’s simple heist spirals into an attempt on inception. It’s time to stop trespassing on the dreams of others; building a home takes two sets of hands.

Merlin (BBC)

14,925 Little Wooden Boy and the Belly of Love by [archiveofourown.org profile] new_kate (E) Tender and interesting, I loved it for the ending which I shall not spoil you for - go on, it's only 14k.
Modern AU. Arthur moves to a a different city to start a new life and become a new man. On a whim he decides to share a flat with an attractive stranger, and quickly gets drawn into Merlin's odd little world.

Oglaf

1,121 COCKLESS by [archiveofourown.org profile] Basingstoke (E) Wot it says on the tin. Fun!

Once Upon a Time (2011), Fairy Tales & Related Fandoms

2,420 Übermorgen hol ich mir der Königin ihr Kind by [archiveofourown.org profile] waldorph  (T) Much, much love for Rumpelstiltskin (and his magnificent daughter) in this stylish little piece about how he really just wants a child.

Sherlock (TV)

81,968 (8/?) The Least of All Possible Mistakes by [archiveofourown.org profile] rageprufrock  (M) WIP Warning but so SO worth it. that's George Lestrade people :)
The first time George meets Mycroft Holmes, she tases him. If ever a people deserved tasering, it’s Holmeses.

X-Men: First Class (2011), Sherlock (TV)
16,152 From Westminster With Love by [personal profile] thehoyden  (E) I am ridiculously in love with this Erik.
NATO intelligence says there’s an omega-class telepath who sleeps under Westminster. Major Erik Lehnsherr is about to find out the truth for himself.

X-Men: First Class (2011)

114,215 A Curious Carriage of Crystal and Cold by [archiveofourown.org profile] Etharei (E) is EPIC SPACE OPERA WHICH CAN DO NO WRONG
Charles, a miner from a poor village in the countryside, saves the life of Erik Lehnsherr, scion of a successful business family and the richest man on the planet Eisen. Charles is a telepath and somewhat anxious about it, while Erik abstains from relationships because the lights flicker and doors open and electronics vibrate when he gets too excited.

20,195 X Marks the Spot by [archiveofourown.org profile] thehoyden (E) the X-Men - Indiana Jones fusion uniting two of my loves. Light, fun.
The year is 1962, and Charles Xavier is a professor of archaeology who knows how his students feel, whether he wants to or not. He spends his spare time researching a mythical artifact, but he knows better than anyone that X never, ever marks the spot.

50,378 Mutant Criminal Investigative Service by [archiveofourown.org profile] Pookaseraph (T) which was kind of gorgeous in a NCIS with mutants kind of way, there's all this subtext stuff going on that I desperately want to see realised.

59,979 Stage Left by [archiveofourown.org profile] Sixthlight  (E) If you saw me in person any time after I read this then you heard about it - helps if you're both an X-Men fan and a Phantom of the Opera fan because this is a delightful fusion of the two.
Young Scottish soprano Moira MacTaggert is a rising star at the New York Metropolitan Opera, tutored by the mysterious Opera Ghost. At least, he would be mysterious...if her childhood friend Charles Xavier didn’t keep pestering her about the brilliant mutant mind he can clearly sense hiding in the opera house, and Moira was too stupid to tell the difference between an Angel of Music and someone hiding behind her mirror.

76,962 Engine of Creation series by [archiveofourown.org profile] Regann  (T) I am helpless in the presence of mutant scifi action, this is lovingly put together and everything I wanted.
When Charles Xavier risks his ship and his crew to save a fellow mutant from enslavement at the hands of one of the most feared clans in the Tri-Galaxy, the last thing he's expecting is to find himself embroiled in one man's decades-long vendetta. But Erik Lehnsherr, displaced Brotherhood alpha, is nothing if not persuasive, especially when the fate of the known galaxies might rest on his plans. Space AU, Powers, Alpha/omega-style social dynamics.

57,918 If You Liked The Book, You'll Hate The Movie by [archiveofourown.org profile] paperclipbitch  (T) I kind of circled this cautiously for a long time before committing to reading based on the 100+ bookmarks. I'm glad I did, this is funny in a deeply dysfunctional kind of way.

    “Still no,” Erik tells him. “But congratulations on being the first parent to hit on me during a meeting about their child’s welfare.”

    “I’m hardly a parent,” Charles protests, and: “do I get a certificate of some kind?”

    Erik looks thoughtful for a long moment and then reaches into his desk drawer and extracts a sticky gold star.

    “Please leave,” he says levelly, and returns to his coffee.

X-Men movieverse

1,829 He/We/They/I by [personal profile] yahtzee  (G) Just lovely.
In the aftermath of Magneto's attack on Rogue at the Statue of Liberty in the first film, Rogue and "friends" accept Professor Xavier's kind invitation to tea.
