Dove, this is stunning! The way you describe Eames in Arthur's eyes and the way he feels around the man: is absolutely gorgeous! You're keeping them in character, while taking them in a completely new direction.

Keep up the lovely work~

Thank you!! I was worried they were slipping out of character amidst my stars-in-their-eyes love montage, but I'm glad you disagree!

Author's Note: Sorry!! Sorry sorry for the delay...I got totally distracted writing like, a BILLION words for something else, PLUS I didn't really like how I wrote this part of the story, and I still don't. It feel disjointed to me, and I can't figure out why, but I thought I had to stop nitpicking and just post the damn thing, because I have kind of become attached to them, and I want to finish this story. Thanks again to everyone for being so supportive! I'm not really a writer, so you made me feel very warm inside ( ... )

By the fall they had finished their renovations, and their reserve of money was beginning to wane. Ruefully Arthur went out to see what kind of job a university drop out would be able to get. It turned out being a local celebrity had its advantages, and he soon found himself working in the largest bank in town, first as a teller, then slowly working his way into his own office within a year. The bank was where he met Ariadne, working as a teller during the day, and taking classes at night at the local community college. She was a bright girl, fiercely intelligent and independent, and she immediately took to Arthur, and then Eames, worming her way into their lives, trying to soak up everything they knew, trying to encompass all the knowledge of the world ( ... )

Unfortunately this new notoriety cast a light on the nature of their relationship. Two men living together can only go unnoticed for so long, and the closeness between the two of them, the complete lack of interest in the variety of young women trying to catch their eye was hard to ignore. The sense of alienation that came with this and sometimes even blatant harassment didn’t bother him as much as he might have thought. They were careful, they didn’t reveal more of themselves in public then was necessary, and it gave them a certain peace, and relative safety from persecution. They were allowed to keep their jobs, allowed to live together, as long as nobody talked about it, which was more then he could have hoped for. Sometimes, he caught the looks and whispers, and it filled him with a righteous anger that made him want to lash out and attack, or grab Eames to him when they were walking together an appropriate distance apart. Most of the time though, he was more then content to live quietly, working, sharing meals with Dom and Mal, ( ... )

Oh, this continues to be so lovely! I just want more and more and more! I love the little details about their relationship. Them having to walk a safe distant from each other. Eames fixing the shingles on the roof. It's so Gdamn romantic!

I know what you mean about being frustrated with certain parts. I feel that when I write. Especially when I write exposition. I'm just like "Herp a derp... I just need to finish writing this so I can get to the next part."

Anyway I love this and am going to have to rec this.

haha, yeah--it's weird because I NEVER write romantic things, I only seem to be capable of writing angst, but for some reason I feel like I've been drawing on every ridiculous romantic war movie I've ever seen, and I can't help but just let them be together and in love, and fill every page with mushiness lol...It's actually kind of cathartic...or maybe pathetic...whatever!

Thank you for being so kind!! And thanks for the rec!!!! More today I think...

On September 3, 1939, they had listened on the radio as Prime Minister Chamberlain declared war on Germany, and Arthur saw Eames’ face tense almost imperceptibly, his hands clench tighter on the arms of his chair. Two months later he got the conscription notice in the mail. Arthur had been foolish enough to think that Eames being so far away from England would mean that they would leave him alone, but even the cornfields of Iowa weren’t enough to conceal him from the imperial eye of His Majesty’s service.

Eames had handed him the letter silently, and Arthur was reminded horrifically, sickeningly, of the same moment three years earlier when the reverse had happened with the letter about his mother. With this thought in mind, he read the letter as though it was a knell, a proclamation of Eames’ imminent death. Eames had caught his expression, and pulled Arthur to him sharply, clutching onto him fiercely.

“Arthur.” He whispered harshly against his ear. “This isn’t the end for us. This isn’t the end.”
