"It was really kind of sad watching him pine after you all the time, while you just went about business as usual," Ariadne says.

Eames Paints. Arthur studies art history. Together they fight crime! (are giant fucking hipsters.)

Yes, it's just what it sounds like. Inception meets Princess Bride. No one escapes unscathed.

"when they analyse the solution a few days later, Yusuf swears and his mind pops up with the thought Oh, shit, how did that get in there? and Arthur wonders why he ever allowed himself to be a test dummy for the newer, stronger stuff Yusuf wanted to make for his dream basement."

Five levels down, and five to dig yourself back out. Arthur met Eames' projection long before he met Eames.

Pretend marriage (for a job maybe?) becomes real.

Eames convinces Arthur that it would be really hot if Arthur had a dildo/buttplug/vibrator in him all day, and Arthur reluctantly agrees. Only to realise he's more sensitive than he thought. I would like Arthur really turned on but struggling not to show it, and biting his lip to maintain his usual appearance. Maybe he could squirm a little and blush too. And Eames is kind of an ass so, you know, he'd be making pointed remarks about the stick up Arthur's ass, or smacking Arthur on the ass or something. (If it is a vibrator maybe Eames could turn it on at random moments when Arthur is in the middle of SERIOUS WORK.) And maybe if Arthur lasts the whole day without taking it out he gets the reward of HOT SEX FROM EAMES.

Sake, Arthur decided, was evil. And, by extension, was Saito, for bringing the sake.

yusuf writes arthur/eames fanfic. cobb is his beta. ariadne finds out.

Arthur is horrified by the number of prompts that involve him being grievously injured, starving, unsure of reality, or traumatised. In response, he decides to write an epic novel-length hurt-comfort fanfic starring Eames as a tormented soul who needs the healing power of Arthur's cock love. It starts out as a joke, but he really gets into it. Bonus points for the team's reaction to the epic-length Eames-torture fic on the kink meme. (Perhaps Saito loves it and starts reccing it to everyone and Eames is like WHAT THE HELL.)

Eames stumbles upon Arthur dreaming, and in his dream he is being fucked by tentacles. Eames, being Eames, decides to join in.

OH JESUS, MEME. inspired by this thread and OH MY GOD i want a fic where Arthur and Eames are BOTH in the Arthur/Eames fandom but using sockpuppets. And then Arthur beta's Eames Arthur/Eames fic. And TOTALLY RIPS IT APART, because Eames has terrible SPAG and Arthur thinks his Arthur is TOTALLY OOC and Eames is like WTF why do you even want to read this and Arthur's like, "because I'm in love with the way you write Eames" dkjfkajf;kdskakld and then somehow they find out each other's sekrit online identities

DRIVING!KINK But not how you think. Eames talks a big game about how fast he drives, even takes Arthur for a spin and maybe Ariadne is in the back or something. HOWEVER. Arthur is unimpressed and next time he is behind the wheel and Eames is the passenger, he like. Fucking IDEK like Form D's it, you know? Over the top speeding, weaving through traffic- he's just straight up a badass and it freaks Eames the fuck out.

The first thing Eames does when he wakes up on the shore of Limbo is squint a bit at the crumbling city skyline. [Or, the one where Arthur and Eames go to Limbo and Grow as People.]

Welcome to life post-Inception.

It turns out that Eames sending dirty pictures to Arthur's phone has become something of a routine thing.

Arthur adopts a couple stray kittens who end up in their warehouse. Then Eames ends up watching them for him for ages. Then kittens and boys do other adorable things.

Arthur realizes his feelings for Eames when he finds out Eames has dreams about fucking Robert with his perfect cheekbones. Arthur attempts to woo Eames with Adriadne and the rest of the team's help. Eames is too used to Arthur's rebuffs that he doesn't take Arthur's adorable fumbling attempts seriously.

In which Arthur loves Dom and Mal, despite knowing he will never be a half of their whole. Also in which Eames exhibits admirable patience while waiting for Arthur to realize he has options other than spending his whole life loving two people who can never love him back.

Arthur's in jail, he went down for the team, and now Eames wants him out. Saito offers some financial assistance and some wisdom.

Eames has a mouth like a porn star.

"Think of it as an exercise in interhouse relations," Eames says, slinging an arm around Arthur's shoulders. "We could share secrets! And braid each other's hair! And do, I don't know, trust falls." Hogwarts!AU.

Cobb doesn't even bother sitting up. "Let's try that again," he says, dropping his head back against the chair and closing his eyes, "and cut down on the homicide before the job is done."

"Don’t bore me with the petty details. Just tell me what sort of masks we’ll all be wearing while we rob this bank. I hope it’s not dead U.S. presidents. That’s so overdone.”

Saito recruits the team to test out new uses for the PASIV device. Eames, as usual, takes this as a opportunity for seduction.

Phillipa has known her Uncle Eames and Uncle Arthur almost all her life, but she doesn't think she'll ever really understand them.

Mafia AU!

DUDE WHERE IS THE FIC WHERE THEY HAVE TO EXTRACT SECRETS FROM A GIANT QUEEN AND THEY DESIGN THE DREAM TO BE IN A ~GAY BAR~ AND HAVE TO DRESS APPROPRIATELY AND THINGS DON'T QUITE GO ACCORDING TO PLAN SO ARTHUR AND EAMES HAVE TO CREATE A DISTRACTION BY BASICALLY HAVING SEX ON THE DANCE FLOOR WHILE COBB OR WHOEVER GETS THE INFO?

It turns out that Eames has a kid from [info]inception_kink. Between the two of them they manage to make it more complicated than that, and Arthur is lost without a map. (In other words, my annoying tendency to take on fluffy/cracky prompts and get far too invested in the whole thing continues.)

BOARDING SCHOOL AU.

Prompt: Arthur chases someone using parkour. Eames is heart-eyed. About 1:20 into this clip of the Casino Royale opening is loaded with parkour/free-running, where D. Craig is pretty much Eames -- especially when he crashes through that dry wall lolol -- and Sebastien Foucan is Arthur. Prompt: Their class gets picked for Battle Royale.

“Cobb’s in a coma,” Arthur says. It’s the first time he’s said it out loud; the words feel strange in his mouth. “He’s fallen into limbo. Mal and I can’t wake him up.”

Here it is! Everything you've ever wanted to know about IV access and lots of things you didn't.

Arthur and Eames get roped into taking Philippa and James trick-or-treating around the neighborhood.

Based on the prompt ROCK BAND AU at [info]inception_kink

Arthur has been his editor from the beginning. Eames says he won't work with anyone else, and what Arthur will never tell him is that he would cut anyone who tried.

“Call if you need me,” Arthur says, “and I’ll come.”

“Pictures of Dom tonight, Eames,” Yusuf replies from the doorway, “or I swear to you, I will point out to Arthur that he has a stalker with no shame and a thousand dollar camera.” From [info]celebutaunt's prompt at the kink meme, "Cobb is the presidential candidate, Ariadne is his running mate, Yusuf is campaign manager, Saito is the sponsor, and Eames is the campaign photographer who spends way too much time taking picture of Cobb's speechwriter, Arthur."

The AU stepbrothers slash that no one asked for, but which the world needed!

For [info]tigriswolf's [info]comment_fic prompt "Inception/Leverage, Eliot&Arthur, it's been awhile since Eliot saw his little brother" (theme was 'Prompt is the first line')

Arthur and Eames adopt a kid and raise that kid into Neal Caffrey.

There's a lot no one knows about Arthur.

Three times Eliot meets Eames, two he sees Arthur, and once he runs into them both.

"Things started going to shit as soon as they entered Bruce Wayne's mind." Inception/The Dark Knight crossover fic. (Not as crazy as it sounds, I swear!)

the gang have to extract information from a sci-fi geek. yes, it is every bit as ridiculous as it sounds.

Arthur's known since he was young that he has a knack for cooking and baking, and beginning culinary school only makes him more certain. But no matter how good he is, it seems Eames is better – which does not endear him to Arthur in the slightest. Eames, however, is quite determined to get Arthur to open up and stop being so uptight and prickly by any means necessary. While each hones his skill in the culinary arts (and Arthur desperately tries to convince Ariadne that the desired structural integrity of her cakes violates basic laws of physics), they increasingly find themselves drawn together, inside the classroom and out. Given such close quarters in the kitchen, and the amount of sensory stimulation involved with preparing all manner of food, it starts to become difficult for Arthur to retain his customary level of distance and detachment. And, as Arthur will find, when it comes to unsatisfied appetites, hunger is often the best sauce of all.

"We should probably go soon, anyway," she says. "There's an unconscious man in the ladies' bathroom with 'wanker' written on his forehead – people are going to start asking questions."

“I have this condition.” Arthur kept his voice at a murmur, with a tone of confiding something he trusted Eames with. He sighed. “I... go into heat.”
