If You Gotta Shoot, Aim High (1/?) anonymous May 17 2011, 07:50:17 UTC
The first time through, Arthur toys with the idea that he might be dreaming, but the people around him don't seem like his projections, and nobody wants anything from him, and in the end he shrugs it off as just one of those things without even consulting his totem ( ... )

yay!! thank you so much fellow anon. AND you understood the real reason i didn't want eames to just fuck arthur into the future- the crushing disappointment of waking up alone every time.

and there was LOVE ~

there's still love, but it's love from me to you. thank you so much!! <3

I am all about crushing disappointment.

Wait, that came out wrong...

Yay, love!

(yeah, as much as I now love, say, the phrase 'Eames' magic Time-Cock', I was cruelly into the idea of Arthur living through a dozen-odd time-loop-related one-night stands.)

Are you open to concrit at all?

Sure. Nervous about it, but that's nothing new, since I'm nervous about everything. But since I want to improve, I really do appreciate concrit.

want you to shoot me." He says, as soon as they're alone behind a locked door.

"That's a terrible come-on." Eames says flatly.

"No, I-- I need you to. I tried-- I don't even know how many times now, I tried. But I keep waking up here, it all starts over. It's not like any dream I've ever been in, but I know it's not real, it can't be."

If Eames had looked mildly concerned the first time they spent the day together, he now looked ready to call the men in white coats. Or possibly Dom. Arthur wasn't sure which would be worse.

"Arthur, you're not dreaming. I'm flattered if you routinely dream of me, of course, but I can assure you, I am me and very real. I can only assume the rest of the world is as well, but if it would make you feel better, I'll check my totem-- Arthur,"

"I've checked mine. It's wrong." He shook his head.

...

Etc. This is some potential but tense changes like that are well-known to make most people immediately back-click. If you can clean those up, this could be a lot of fun.

Thanks! Although being all anonymous, I guess I can't edit... crap.

Well, at least now I can police things a little more carefully in the future.
