always keep an edge on your knife, and other romantic notions

Notes: foxxcub hosted a Valentine's Day meme on Monday, and pyrimidine posted an amazing picture and caption. I got some ideas, and ended up with this filthy, complex little thing. Thanks to ilovetakahana for beta. Originally posted here.

( If there was one bloody idea Eames had learned from his stint in the Royal Marines, it was this: travel light, travel swift, and leave nothing behind.

Boy, had he bollocksed that last one up. )

inception, eames, arthur/eames, arthur, will write for pancakes

Yay! I love this! Arthur and Eames being smart and rough & tumble guys, not fluffy and emo. And yes, you don't get to be badasses like these two without being Marines! You played into my personal fanon with that. The tug of emotion between these two is so subtle, just like in the movie. It plays out with the wallet, without having to actually be right there in our faces.

Very nice! I like how Eames gets testy with Arthur when he threatens to get too close to his secrets! I would love to see inside that wallet, though, and watch both their reactions to the contents!

Umph. Fantastic character writing and Thelonius Monk. Two of my favorite things.

I liked this characterization very much.
