Long Shot by laceymcbain (R)
Fandom: INCEPTION
Pairing: Arthur/Eames
Length: 47191
Author on LJ: laceymcbain
Author Website: Ao3
Why this must be read:
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.
The thing that I find great about Inception fic is how writers can spin insanely different and creative backgrounds for the character and still have it fit within the realm of canon in an ‘all roads lead to Rome” kind of way (with some tweaking). Here, Arthur is a silent deadly killer with a fun best friend in Ariadne (who doesn't know about his job). Eames is a charming brilliant actor who barely lets hints of his secret past sneak though, but he's certainty catches Arthur's attention. Then they all end up years later in Dream Share, performing inception like it was where they were supposed to end up.
ETA: For people who enjoy podfic, the AO3 has a link to that as well.
