til i save your heart

Rating: A mature PG-13.
Words: 4151
Summary: Eames and Arthur drop out of dreamsharing in favor of building a family, but something goes frighteningly astray with Arthur.
Warning: Drug abuse, though no graphic depictions.
Disclaimer: First time in forever that I've written in past-tense, so forgive me.
Beta: gelbwax ♥

( It was this cruel sequence that Eames turned over and over in his head; by the time he’d realized what was going on, even a PASIV couldn’t have kept Arthur from his preferred method of self-medication (or self-mutilation, as Eames saw it). )

Oh my god, you! You! QUIT BREAKING MY BRAIN!!! (except that's a lie, because omg don't ever stop!)

I don't even know where to begin. Eames trying so hold to hold his family together, Arthur's self-loathing, the sentence... 'And then, tremulous but genuine, “It might be the best thing that could have happened, Eames.”' Perfect

And the ending! So sweet and hopeful!

Aaaaah so good! I absolutely loved your words -- the actual words -- I felt like I was being pulled along, alternating between being sad for the story but thrilled that the way you told it felt fresh and enthralling and novel. Your little turns of phrases and descriptions are just so beautiful, all the little details so fragile and delicate like little bird wings. Truly amazing. <3

I love the darkness of this story, the realness. It's messy and wrenching and Eames can't just leave so he has to go through it, and you leave them with hope at the end but it's so fragile.

thank you very much :3 i'm glad it conveyed the messiness of the situation without...being messy itself, because that is what i was paranoid about /o\ and yes, yes, fragile hope. that is always the way with addicts, constant and precariously balanced hope. ♥
