Review:
The author doesn't provide a summary, but here's a quick one: Arthur and Eames meet twice fleetingly before they both start in dream sharing. Then they meet again. A series of moments in their lives.

The fic is cute and quick and a bit sparse on details, but all the better for it. The both of them first meet when Arthur is twelve and Eames is fourteen. Eames is kind of pretentious, but so is Arthur, haha. They meet again by chance when they're older, just for a moment. The next time they meet is when they're both in the dream sharing business. Arthur is all competent and really awesome and Eames is just sort of disbelieving and still really awesome.

There's quite a few time skips within the fic. It's basically a showcase of moments in both Eames's and Arthur's life that manage to intersect, but it's wonderful. The fic is really understated, but I'm of the opinion that the author put in just the right amount of details that catch your attention without blatantly leaving everything out on the table. The romance is more inferred than anything else.

This was adorable and lovely and truly a pleasant read.
