    Summary

    Notting Hill AU, written for the i_k prompt, "I'm just a girl standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her." Arthur owns a quirky hipster science bookstore. Eames is a world-famous mega-celebrity.

    Clearly this calls for a meet-cute.

    Summary

    Arthur wakes up and realizes the last ten years of his life have been a dream. He is nineteen, and he can barely remember where he is. What he can remember is the ghost of Eames’ hands pressed down on his chest trying frantically to stop the blood flooding up around his fingers as Arthur died (as he woke up).

    Summary

    Being a freshman piano performance major at a prestigious New England conservatory is difficult enough without landing the school's star baritone as your singer, and inevitably, your hopeless crush.

    Ah, the boy's eyes
    So sweet and clear to me,
    and something radiates from them
    that wins my whole heart.

    With those sweet eyes
    He looks into my own!
    If he should see his image in mine,
    He would surely greet me lovingly.

    And so I surrender myself entirely,
    Just to serve his eyes,
    For something radiates from them
    That wins my whole heart.

    (While this story is part of a series it works perfectly well as a stand-alone, so you don't need to read anything else to have this make sense.)

    Eames is businessman who entrusts his housekeeper to tidy things up while he's away at work.

    This is a filled prompt and definitely inspired by the pictures of Joe sporting a French-maid costume for Halloween.

    Summary

    Handsome Bob showed up once a year for a visit, twice if they were lucky. Mumbles still half expected him to disappear for good though. He wasn’t sure whether he expected the cause to be a job gone wrong, or whether he thought Bob might have finally moved up high enough in the world to forget about the Wild Bunch. Either way, he was always surprised by the next visit.

      He blinked. “So he led you all the way over here with an empty gun...”

      “Yes.”

      Bob sighed deeply. “I hate you so much right now.”

      Then Arthur shocked Mumbles with a grin so bright, dimples included, that he almost had to blink. God, the man was just a kid himself, probably even younger than Bob!

      “No you don’t,” Arthur retorted, grinning.

      Bob shook his head, starting to grin as well. “No I don’t."

    Summary

    They've made a habit of this: the late night knock, the doorbell lean, the quickly picked lock. Turning up in one another's spaces unannounced, though not unwelcome. The promise of sanctuary has been there as long as they've known each other, which is longer than most people realize and much longer than they'll admit to.

    In which Arthur and Eames have always relied on each other to keep one important secret.

    Summary

    Eames gets a taste of jealousy, aka the Steinle Incident. Set six months after "Twitch" and "Died In Your Arms"
      
    "Eames is not a man given to hatred. It’s bad for his complexion, to say nothing of the equanimity needed for being a successful forger. But all rules are merely guidelines, and exceptions must be made when called for. Exceptions such as that fucker, Peter Steinle."

    Eames seems to have stolen something from a gentleman with much more powerful associates than he’d anticipated, and out of all of his friends, he knows that Arthur (who, no matter what everyone thinks, is absolutely not retired) has the most comfortable sofa.

    Summary

    “Cobb is straight, isn’t he?”

    Arthur snapped his pencil, the sound particularly loud in the quiet of Cobb’s somewhat ostentatious rental BMW that Eames did not personally think was ideal for surveillance. “What?” he asked far too quickly and irritably as he dug in the side pocket of the bag on the floor under his legs for his little manual pencil sharpener. Eames wasn’t sure when Arthur had started using pencils instead of his overpriced refillable ink pens, but he wasn’t going to ask because he suspected that it might be considered creepy that he’d noticed.

    “Dominic Cobb is straight. Right?” Eames repeated. Arthur, pencil sharpener in hand, just stared at him, stone-faced, for a moment that stretched on so long that Eames actually began to feel uncomfortable.

    “Gross. That’s not funny. It’s really gross,” Arthur said at last.

    Summary

    Arthur is an assassin hired to kill a seemingly unremarkable English actor named Eames, but a chance meeting has Arthur falling for his target instead.

    Excerpt: None of this gave Arthur even an inkling as to why some very powerful people would pay a sizable sum to have the actor killed. From the carefree way Eames was going about his business as usual, Arthur would wager the actor had no idea that someone was at this very moment evaluating his life for the best possible chance to end it.

    Summary

    There was a time when Eames thought he knew what to make of Arthur, but that was a time when they were both young and stupid. Or at least younger and somewhat more stupid. Now Eames knows better than to think he knows anyone at all, but especially Arthur, and most of the time he wishes that he also knew better than to let Arthur do the things that he does.

    The things that Arthur does go something like this.
