Inception

Incipit by thehoyden
"I'm going to die," Eames tells him, sprawled on his living room sofa like a Victorian maiden with the vapors, complete with one arm flung over his eyes. His laptop is sitting on the coffee table, and the cursor does not appear to have moved in Arthur's absence.

"You can die after you finish this draft," Arthur says, and places a cup of coffee on the table that he picked up from the shop down the street.

"Have mercy, darling," Eames moans, and then cracks open an eye. "You brought me coffee?"

"Drink it, stop whining, and finish that draft, or I swear to god, Mr. Eames, I will strangle you and enjoy it thoroughly." AU where Eames is a novelist and Arthur is his editor. Wonderful banter and pining.

"Sorry," Eames says. "That was -- that was Arthur."

"Of course it was," his mother says. Eames doesn't like that tone in her voice.

It's somewhere between tolerance and amusement. Parents shouldn't laugh at their children. Unless they share the joke.

"I have to go, Mum," he says apologetically. "Work calls."

"No, darling," his mother says. "Work didn't call, Arthur called."

"It's the same thing," Eames says.

His mother makes what he can only describe as a mocking noise. "Hardly." Really lovely, meditative look at Eames and Arthur and their relationship. Also, Eames's mum FTW!

"Oh, Christ, no. Arthur, it was many, many things, but it was certainly never that. I can list all the things it was, if you'd like. I know you enjoy your lists. Frustrating, infuriating, maddening-"

"Those all mean the same thing."

"I won't lie to you, darling, I'm beginning to think they're all synonyms for 'Arthur.'" Warm, schmoopy Arthur/Eames full of pining and banter and Arthur wearing Eames's ugly but comfortable clothes. *happy sigh*

"She should probably go to hospital, just in case she has a bad reaction to it. It would be safer."

"Oh, wonderful," says Arthur. "And what do we tell the doctor? She just happened to be self-infusing a substance synthesized by a friend?"

"Ariadne," says Saito. "Do you have a favourite hospital?"

She blinks. "I -- had my appendix out at the American Hospital of Paris. They were fine."

"Excellent. I own that hospital."

"You do not," says Eames.

Saito is pulling out his phone. "I will own it by the time we arrive there," he amends. Ahahahahaha! Yusuf is long-suffering and Saito is a BAMF and there is hilarity about cannulae. *dies*

PASIV/ACTIV by jibrailis
"It's not like we have a choice anyway," Eames said. "Unless anyone here is volunteering to walk up to Saito and say, thank you for this gift but no thank you? Oh, and can we have back the PASIV that you took from us, because that would be lovely."

They all shuddered.

"...Cobb could take off his clothes for Saito," Yusuf offered.

"What?" Cobb said, sounding like he was choking. "I have children!"

"I can't be the only one thinking it!" Yusuf said. "All those smoldering looks!"

"Good lord, man, don't bring your children into your striptease," Eames said. "That's just filthy."

"There will be no striptease," Cobb said between gritted teeth. "No stripping of any sort. No teasing of any sort. And I do not smolder at Saito. I don't want to know what drugs you're tripping on right now, Yusuf." *dies laughing* Utter cracktastic hilarity.

"[Y]our name isn't Arthur."

"Yours isn't Eames," Arthur shot back.

"Oh excellent," Mal said, delighted. "You know one another."

"When this job is over, I am going to punch you in the face," Eames said. Enjoyable backstory for Arthur/Eames.

"Though I cannot deny," she continues, tilting her head and smiling up at him, "that Mr. Eames is proving himself essential to my future happiness."

"And how is that?" he asks, finally. "Has he promised you the finest equipage in the the town, or ten country houses, or a retinue of pretty abigails to serve you?"

"On the contrary," she says, and swallows. With Eames boldness is easy, but with Arthur there is always so much more at stake. "He has promised me you." Nicely done. I like all the simmering tension between them, and enjoy picturing them in the clothes of the era.
