Arthur/Eames Fanmix: Shakedown Thieves Walking In Broad Daylight

[gyzym]

So, last night I went to dinner with my entire extended family, and in between arguing about a party my father had at 16 and where my brother gets his hair cut and whether or not it would have TOTALLY BEEN STEALING to pretend we didn't notice when we got the wrong check (I may have method-written most some of that fic about Arthur's family, okay),

You put Low Rider. I would almost write you a made to order story for that alone. Almost. ;-)

[gyzym]

One of these days I will discover the thing that pushes you past that almost. *Tries harder*

[hackthis]

In theory, was there something you wanted me to write? In theory. Don't yell. I have a story that's eight months late, because Ari refuses to talk to me*, so you know, the likelihood of said story ever happening is most small.

*I wrote that motherfucker A BOOK and he still won't talk to me, you don't know what it's like when your man just abandons you one day, cause you're not as angry as you used to be? IDEK. *sniff*

[gyzym]

Dude, you know how Ari can be. He's probably off licking anything near him his wounds from the end of last season, because, just, seriously, dude. SERIOUSLY.

And I would never yell--I know all too well about how volatile the muses can be, and how different "Oh, I'd love to write that for you!" and "Oh, okay, I am ACTUALLY WRITING THAT NOW" can be. But oh man, oh man oh man, you know what I'd love to see you do, if you ever had time? I want the fic where Arthur attempts to hit on Eames, and Eames totally doesn't get it. Like, Arthur is the worst at seduction ever and Eames is so used to the idea that Arthur is his unattainable that he absolutely misses his attempts at being forward

I don't even. What?

"We're in a fucking boat."

"Yes, thank you for pointing out the obvious, Arthur, I couldn't tell that myself from the vast expanse of ocean all around us."

Arthur's fairly certain that the look on his face could cause a diamond to think about cracking. Eames doesn't even flinch.

"Why are we in a fucking boat?"

"Well, I don't know, why don't you tell me -- this is your dream."

"This isn't my dream."

"Well is sure as hell isn't my dream. I -- god, do I have sunburn? My face feels tight. I don't get sunburn! Look at my coloring -- if anybody should have sunburn it's you and your pasty skin tone."

"a) I'm not pasty. b) if you insult me again I'm throwing you overboard and there are sharks c) this is not my fault."

"I said, wouldn't a holiday be lovely? Somewhere with lots of water. I did not say strand us in a rowboat in the middle of fucking nowhere."

"And this is why I didn't want to go on a vacation with you, you're unreasonable."

"I'm -- I'm unreasonable?" Eames' voice is driving upwards rather precariously. Arthur didn't

HAVE I TOLD YOU LATELY THAT

I LOVE YOU

EDIT: WHY. WHY. WHY. DOES MY SPARKLETEXT WORK IN MY COMMENT PREVIEWS AND NEVER IN MY COMMENTS

Re: I don't even. What?

[hackthis]

I don't even know. This is your fault. Rowboats and sharks and saltines. It's like improv on crack. And I loved it ;-)

Re: I don't even. What?

[gyzym]

I feel compelled to write you return crack. WHAT VARIETY WOULD YOU PREFER?

Re: I don't even. What?

[hackthis]

Don't feel obligated, but if you feel compelled. I dunno, surprise me :D
