A Whole New World

In which Cobb decides two babysitters are better than one, Saito proves that money can buy happiness, and Eames is excellent with children. Oh, and Arthur’s a fucking Disney princess.*




Don’t Feed Me, Seymour

“This looks delicious,” Eames fucking lies, because the only accurate statement would be This looks like intestines, and he would like Arthur to continue to shagging him.* Laughed until I CRIED.




Dog Days Are Over

“Eames.” Arthur resists shoving a hand through his hair. “We can’t just go around looking like—”

“Like teenagers?” Eames’ smile gets disgustingly wide.*




Dreams Are For Rookies

Two months before the end of sophomore year, Arthur lets Ariadne talk him into “making an appearance” at a party held by the captain of the soccer team, way to hell and gone out in the suburbs. The house is over-sized, the music too loud, and no one, save a half dozen people, can remember Arthur’s name. It’s pretty much his idea of hell.

And that’s all before he chugs four beers in the kitchen to avoid talking to anyone and somehow ends up in a closet during an impromptu game of Seven Minutes in Heaven.*

Never Wanted the Nice Boys Anyways

“Eames, I don’t know what dictionary you’re working out of, but my definition of ‘favor’ does not entail asking someone you despise to play escort to your family’s Christmas party.”

Eames glares at him. “I’m not asking you to play escort, merely be my date.”*




Untitled Comment Fic

the room has a window, so at least arthur knows when is day and when is night. he alternates between being really fucking pissed off at cobb and not blaming him at all because really — it’s not as if it’s cobb’s fault, not really. but arthur’s still stuck here with thin sisal twine digging into his wrists and icy cold seeping through the floor and walls whenever he leans against them.*




And Try to Keep It All the Year

“It’s not that I hate Christmas,” Arthur says, sandwiching the phone between his shoulder and his left ear so that he can grab pen and paper. *

Peanut Butter & Fixed Term Five Year Plans

Arthur’s first impression of William Eames was that no living man should ever have that much flour smeared over his face, that no real person should have that many tattoos, and that no person in his personal history had ever made Arthur feel so suddenly off-kilter without even saying a word.*




So in theory, this could be part of a larger story

Eames used to think a long fuck was an hour, when at the end of it his hips are sore and he’s got a fucking charley horse and everybody’s gasping for air and dying for oxygen — he didn’t know shit.*

Kiss Trick

So! Some people have asked for a sequel to Allowed. I’ve been writing bits and pieces of one for a while now (and also ng! I’m pretty easy), so there’s a beginning of one.* Sequel to Allowed.




Chav!verse

Written for a kink meme prompt “Eames is a total chav but Arthur/Cobb loves it.”*

After the Fischer inception, Eames goes back to work as an extractor, and Arthur joins his team.

It goes on at the same time as the other story (well, it starts a tiny bit before), and obviously, is in the same universe and stuff. *




Waiting On

“French toast, pancakes, steak and eggs — I could make you anything in the world, pet, but no. Egg-white omelette, morning after morning. It shows a distinct lack of imagination.”*

Two Halves

“Without half-time, there would be no occasion to use one of the most enduring clichés to describe football: ‘It’s a game of two halves.’” Coda to The Running Play.




The Revolution Will Not Be Civilized

Arthur is the son of the ruler, and an Omega male. Eames is leading the revolution. Which kidnaps Arthur. This is only the start of their problems.*




Pleurant

Sometimes death is a slow crescendo: tentative signs of illness, a tightness in the chest, a lingering cough. But sometimes it broadsides you in the middle of a night out.*




I Seem to Be a Verb

The thing about London that Arthur liked most was that if you wanted to disappear everyone would let you, without a lot of fuss. And if you wanted to open a bookshop that only sold books on applied sciences, people might call you a lousy businessman, but mostly they’d leave you alone. Basically, no one in London gave two shillings for what Arthur did, which was why Arthur liked London enough to sell books on architecture, design, and engineering at a bookshop called The Robie House, a name he’d chosen on a whim when he was signing the papers and regretted ever since.*




Not Necessarily the Best Policy

Arthur has a lot of feelings, mostly about Eames’ penis. Yusuf’s accidental truth drug helpfully illuminates them.*




You Take the Myth, I’ll Take the Blood

AU in which Eames is the MMA fighter no one messes with, and Arthur is his lover, plain and simple.*

Lions and Tigers

What were you like as a kid?” Eames asks him.
“Quiet,” Arthur says. “I lived in my head a lot. You?”
“I did too,” Eames replies. “Only I was never quiet about it.”

A story about growing up, sort of.*




Pants on Fire

“Ah,” Yusuf says, lifting a reproving hand, “are we calling less than 24 hours of memory loss amnesia now?”*




Hand In Hand Is the Only Way to Land

Arthur meets a far-too-appealing stranger when he brings a foundling kitten to Arthur’s pet store. This is their story.*




Just a Little Touch

“You’re having me on. You expect me to believe you’re not interested at all in finding your mate? The dom to your sub? The one who holds the key to your frozen, black heart?”*




Call and Answer

“Call if you need me,” Arthur says, “and I’ll come.”*
