Oh Tokyo and it's constant cycle of destruction...

I really enjoy reading about your Eames and Arthur as Japanese warriors. =) Short, sweet, and really, really cute.

Thank you!

Yeah, I had to do Matchstick City again, since it's too much fun.

*giggles madly* For some reason I pictured them doing this JUST FOR THE FUN OF DESTOYING THE CITY LIKE GODZILLA.

Also, Eames in hakama pants, yum yum. <3

[ilovetakahana]

LOL yeah they probably did! If one of them was the dreamer, he probably volunteered for the chance to make Tokyo crumble into bits again!

I think Eames would look particularly delish in hakama.

Thanks so much for enjoying this story!

Godzilla!Eames FTW!! *ahem*

'niway, ngl, I saw the title & LOL'd & just had to read this one first. I was a bit surprised though; I'd have pegged them to use ore and omae rather than boku and kimi. Although in retrospect, keigo can be a bit kinky, with the right circumstances. *glazed eyes* Hmmm, yesss...

The idea of Eames being Godzilla will keep me grinning for the rest of the day.

About the pronouns: yeah, I thought long and hard about what E and A would use on each other. Arthur I know would be more suitable to either watashi or boku; Eames to either ore or boku. But I thought that they actually have known each other for such a long time that they would actually already have some of their references synced: so they both wound up calling each other boku.

I wrote the kimi because for me, in this story, they already had an established relationship, and that was how they showed it.

Anyway, thank you for liking the story!

Yaaay! SO glad it worked out for you!

Yeah, we love Matchstick City. I've seen it go kablooie so many times in a lot of anime and, like Eames thinks, it never gets old.

So happy you liked the kisses, too. :3

Thanks for the enabling! ♥

Felt kind of weird because guys don't generally use 'boku' and 'kimi' with one another even I don't, haha but Eames and Arthur schmoop are always on my good book.

They're in dreams. We can pretend they man up and use proper keigo out there; in here, they talk how they want.

Thanks for reading!
