title: I'm trying to tell you something
Written for Round One of the Eames/Arthur Fanwork Exchange @

ilovetakahanapairing: Arthur/Eames, as teenagers.
warnings: First off: this is a high school AU, set somewhere in the United States, but directly borrowing at least one major plot device from the Studio Ghibli film
Mimi wo Sumaseba, also known as "Whisper of the Heart".
I've been pretty much wanting to write this fic for a very long time and I am beyond pleased to have gotten the chance. To dearest
mad_musing, I hope this is what you wanted - I LOVED your list of prompts!
This fic includes discussion of survivor's guilt, grief, and teenage angst. There is also some schmoop and a bit of romance at the end. And: there is a LOT of book talk included.
Amy the red cat appears in honor of a discussion between
batmanboxers and me.
Betas for this fic:
laria_gwyn and
red_rahl. Much love to you both.
disclaimer: I don't own the original story or the characters. Not making any profit, just playing in the sandbox.
summary: Arthur reads too many books for his own good, to drown his sorrows, and just because he wants to. He meets someone who is just as big a reader as he is - and he also meets Eames.
