Inception mix: Fake Empire; girl!Arthur/Eames
title: Fake Empire
fandom: Inception
pairing: girl!Arthur/Eames
notes: I originally started this for singustosleep's genderswap challenge however-many months ago. I didn't finish on time and it's been sitting around ever since. However, today I am home sick and because I find photoshop soothing I started play around with the art and listening to the playlist and ended up starting practically the whole thing from scratch. BUT IT IS FINISHED NOW YAY. ONE MIX DOWN 1000000 TO GO. :D
In my head this is set post-Inception canon; Arthur and Eames working together, fucking each other and dealing with the destructive aspects of both their job and their relationship.
Sleep Together - Garbage
I got you crawling up a mountain
Hanging round my neck
I got you twisted round my finger
Crawling round my legs
The emptiness
The craziness
Satisfy this hungriness
Darling
How would it feel?
If we sleep together
Will you like me better
If we come together
We'll go down forever
If we sleep together
Will I like you better
If we come together
Prove it now or never
Christiansands - Tricky
My defences
Become fences
Now I'm stumbling
I change my face
And if you think I'm fake up
Wait around till I take off my make-up
Here we go again
I need another one
Her name is -
She looks through me
Says i'm the only one
You and me, what does that mean?
Always, what does that mean?
Forever, what does that mean?
It means we'll manage
I'll master your language
And in the meantime I'll create my own
Flathead - The Fratellis
Hey flathead don't you get mean
She's the second best killer that I ever have seen
They don't come much more sick than you
I could go on if you want me to
Hey flathead don't check me in
Well her's is a tonic and mine is a gin
They don't come much more slick than you
I'd drive your car if you asked me to
Nail In My Coffin - The Kills
I am no better at this than you are
Unfinished business maybe, do love
I can't change myself into you, dear
What you are to me is far too unclear
Could be a nail in my coffin and I don't need another one
Could be a nail in my coffin and lord knows I ain't ready yet
Could be a nail in my coffin and I don't need another one
Could be a line I'm crossing and I am never gonna get back from
I am no better at this than you are
Loneliness never truly leaves me alone
I have made mistakes I can't take back home
I love you just not the way you want
Young Liars - TV on the Radio
My mast ain't so sturdy
My head is at half
I'm searching the clouds for the score
My lady avails herself
Of marked down freedom
Forever cashed out to no more
She put the blam in the blame
Bullets bearing the name
Of each tigress who's left you a tooth
Save the skins for a pelt
And the rest for a belt
That can't open
No nothing
Can't open
No nothing
Well it's cold and it's quiet
And cobblestone cold in here
Fucking for fear of not wanting
To fear again
Lonely is all we are
Lovely so far
But my heart's still a marble
In an empty jelly jar
Fake Empire - The National
Tiptoe through our shiny city
With our diamond slippers on
Do our gay ballet on ice, bluebirds on our shoulders
We're half awake in a fake empire
Turn the light, out say goodnight
No thinking for a little while
Let's not try to figure out everything at once
It's hard to keep track of you falling through the sky
Dreams - TV on the Radio
Oh all your dreams are over now
And all your wings have fallen down
She's just like you
So why keep doing what you do
Why cut a friend
Why cruise that mean lean to an end
You could have heel toed
To another place
You could have peeled slow
To a better face
I know your heart can't grieve
What your eyes won't see
But you were my favorite moment
Of our dead century
The Bones of You - Elbow
Do I have time?
A man of my calibre
Stood in the street like a sleepwalking teenager
No.
And I dealt with this years ago
I took a hammer to every memento
But image on image like beads on a rosary
pulled through my head as the music takes hold
and the sickener hits; I can work till I break
but I love the bones of you
That, I will never escape
For Real - Okkervil River
Some nights I thirst for real blood
For real knives
For real cries
And then the flash of steel from real guns
In real life
Really fills my mind
And I really miss what really did exist
When I held your throat so tight
And I miss the bus as it swerved from us
Almost came crashing to its side
I want to know this time if you're really finally mine
I need to know that you're not lying so I want to see you tried
And I don't want to hear you say, "it shouldn't really be this way"
'Cause I like this way just fine
Kissy Kissy (live acoustic) - The Kills
It's been a long time coming
It's been a long time coming
I'm gonna stab your kissy kissy mouth
It's been a long time coming
I'm gonna stab your kissy kissy heart
It's been a long time coming
Lord I'm not satisfied
I want hellfire
I must do you wrong
I'm not satisfied
