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

"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 has a mouth like a porn star.

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

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 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.

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

Welcome to life post-Inception.

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.

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.)

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

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

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

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

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.”

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

“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."

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

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

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