So yesterday I was stressed out about My Life and what happens when that happens, as we all now know, is I write fic, and corpsereviver2 over on Tumblr was all like, "Why don't we do a DIY / HGTV ficathon?" and I have long, long, loooong wanted to write all the HGTV AUs, okay? I watch HGTV for comfort television, which means I watch A LOT of HGTV, and I usually watch them thinking, "Ha! Wouldn't this show be hilarious if Sherlock was the designer?" because my mind is a crazy-person place a lot of the time.
So lo, corpsereviver2 made a collection on AO3 and I was like, "Well. That's it, now I have to write something." And so I wrote a paragraph and then I wrote a scene and then the thing is that I could see this fic *so clearly* that I was like, "Okay, we're doing this whole thing tonight, ready, set, GO."
My favorite comment on this fic so far (and I'm paraphrasing madly) is something like, "I told my husband I was going to read a fic about the two guys from Inception being the people on Love It or List It and I guess when you say it like that it *does* sound strange." HAHAHAHAHA! Strange AND AWESOME, okay?
The fic wasn't even titled until after all the chapters had gone up in my crazy-person "I shall write this fic in real-time, if you happen to be up in the middle of the night you can sit and watch it take shape before my eyes" writing method last night. (Which, actually, was kind of fun, because I was literally getting feedback in while I was drafting the next chapter, and it was crazy and I wouldn't recommend doing it all the time, but yeah, I enjoyed it.) But anyway, now it is called Fixer-Upper (I know, huh? Pretty good for a last-minute title, right?) and, just like the comment says, it's a fic in which Arthur and Eames are the stars of "Love It or List It."
