Impasse [Inception, Arthur/Eames, R]
Yeah, so this was supposed to be a 500 word drabble. My mind didn't like that plan :3

Summary Creation and destruction is fluid in the dreaming. When something falls into pieces, it can become something new before it hits the ground. This fact is etched into Arthur’s brain, always there in the forefront of his mind ( Read more... )

Firstly, your fic is post-Inception while I was thinking of their backstory when I gave you the prompt you turned it the other way around and I LOVE IT because it's great how you prompt something having your mind set on some sort of scenario and the writer turns into something else entirely.
The first scene is plainly awesome: Let's get drunk because we're still alive! And then karaoke!
When Eames blows things up Arthur is turned on. Me approves!
The third scene is perfect. It's the reason why I love this fandom: there is the insanity, the addiction and the darkness that is dreaming and then there are these crazy normal people squabbling, having milkshakes (I want a chocolate milkshake now) and somehow caring for each other. It's so perfectly contrary.
Explosions, gun fights, kissing and then messy heart wrenching angst. ILU.
Cobb braiding my Little Pony. Ariadne and Cobb gossiping. lol (Plus the post-it ♥)
Damn, it's insane how much I adore your style. You manage to write different scenes and atmospheres and still stay true to the all over feeling of the story. (well and there's sex...) It's pretty much my headcanon that Arthur is the one in denial, the one trying to talk himself out of this and also that they met through Mal (and Cobb). So your characterisation (and the totem kink) fits like a glove. :)
Okay, this is the best thing ever: They watch Buffy together! (And Arthur realizes he's totally head over heels in luv because baby Eames got hurt.)
The best kind of romance: touching their matching totems from Vegas and explosives just because they want to - also known as Arthur's declaration of love.
♥ Eames has a house in Prague and they go sightseeing. ♥ Prague is the perfect city to talk a walk after dark. It's basically the best setting for this scene.
I'm so in love with this story and demand that you write more Inception stories because this was too good to be a single child. ;)
So thanks for writing such a brilliant story for these two prompts. It goes straight to my recs for a second read.

Eames would be such a gleeful pyromaniac, wouldn't he? And I bet Arthur would find that look hot :3
In my head, the house in prague is a charming fairy-tale house, with old bricks and the blue door/windows and all it's missing is like, talking birds and mice or something to be in a disney movie, haha, the opposite to Arthur's style XD But it'd be so romaaaantic, omg, I just couldn't resist.
Thank you so muuuuuch, I'm so glad you liked it! And ahaha, I finished a small Inception/XMFC thing the other day! Should be up soon :)
