    Summary

    One Two hasn't thought of Handsome Bob in years. The bloke's not been seen in London since Mumbles was living alone and hasn't exactly been sending Christmas cards. He's not forgotten, but he seems to be gone. So how's One Two supposed to react when Bob shows up at the pub out of the blue and wants to have a drink?

    Summary

    An Inception/His Dark Materials crossover which is otherwise canon-compliant. Thank you to finch for the beta.

    It's a fairly straightforward job. Arthur is uncertain why he took it, other than to avoid ennui, but maybe that's reason enough. He didn't know Eames was on the job until Eames showed up the first day, to the warehouse in Toronto, and he had seen Mekhmet before he saw Eames, anyway.

    Summary

    “And there was me thinking you seemed rather intelligent,” Arthur parried, fiddling with the neck of his no doubt ludicrously expensive t-shirt. “Despite some questionable sartorial choices.”

    Eames gave him a knowing look. “My sartorial choices don’t seem to have put you off.”

    -

    Eames runs a yoga studio. Arthur works in finance. Sometimes it's all too easy to jump to conclusions.

    Summary

    “So let me see if I understood you correctly,” Eames said, accent fluctuating between the sharp, crisp Queen’s English of his upbringing and the blander Estuary accent he’d been using to blend into the bleak little part of London where they’d established their base in this warehouse. “You want to break into the mind of one of the most notorious members of the dreamsharing community because you think that he stole information from someone high up in the government.”

    There's betrayal and then there's betrayal. The fine line between the two becomes more important than ever when Eames' past comes knocking.

    Summary

    Mish-mash of two prompts from the inception kink meme (summarized):

    Arthur hurts his leg on a job and needs Eames' help. Arthur takes it in stride, but Eames is acting weird about seeing him naked.

    and

    Eames confesses that he's in love with Arthur, and Arthur is taken aback, because he's not in love with Eames. Yet.

    Summary

    Eames has rarely been accused of being in his right mind - on the contrary, it has been suggested (often and to the tune of urgent gunfire) that he doesn’t have one.

    Summary

    New York, 1957. Eames is a successful but lonely illustrator, content with his quiet life in his Greenwich Village studio. He supplements his commercial work with “specialty” pin-up illustrations and fetish art, spends his afternoons sketching at the beatnik cafe down the street, and passes his evenings drawing the love of his life.

    Eames’s muse is Arthur Darling, the dashing face of every cigarette ad and shaving-cream campaign Eames has ever done. Arthur is perfect for Eames, from the gleam of his dimples to the shine of his shoes. There’s only one problem -- Arthur doesn’t exist.

    When Eames saves the mysterious Mal from an attack, he learns that wishes can come true.

    Summary

    Arthur wakes up in a time loop. It's not a dream. If he can't make his reality go back to normal, then he might as well find something to pass the time, and no one knows how to entertain like Eames.

    Summary

    "Perhaps not the textbook definition of a healthy relationship, especially considering what they’ve just been through. But it’s right. It’s fucked up and glorious. It’s them." ~Promises Whispered Like Prayers 

    Eames and Arthur aren't what you would call typical, and neither is their love story. Before they can enjoy their happily ever after, they must weather years of blood, pain, tears -- at times their own, but mostly that of others. Here's how it all happens. Series will hop and skip around, from the time they first meet to life after inception, including all kinds of moments between and beyond. Canon-compliant, in case that matters to you.

    There are 25 26 27 31! stories total planned for this series. (holy shitnuggets, I added another one more, someone stop me)

    Look for the Psycho Heroes Soundtrack on Spotify!

    Summary

    Arthur usually finds blatant fishing for compliments extremely irritating, but in Eames’ case he is reluctantly charmed. In fact, he writes the phrase “reluctantly charmed” into the Eames notebook the moment the words occur to him because they so perfectly encapsulate his entire situation.

    Summary

    Ariadne was shocked. She'd learned all about Cobb's dead wife on their first job together, but Eames had a (presumably) living wife that had never come up. Then again, no one liked to talk about themselves as much as Dom Cobb, so maybe it wasn't that impossible.

      +++

      "You know I don't actually refuse lunch just so you can force feed me," he said dryly.

      "Hush, love. We're multitasking." Eames managed to make that sound like an incredibly filthy act. "Besides, you work much too hard. You'd perish without me making you eat and sleep. You're lucky I'm a fantastic husband." He fed Arthur another piece of rangoon.

      "You're lucky I haven't murdered you yet," Arthur retorted, but when Eames help up the next bite of food, Arthur chastely kissed the side of his thumb before taking it.
