Eames asks Arthur to leave retirement post-film to fight a human trafficking ring. In the aftermath of their op, they get engaged and go on the talk-show circuit as a cover (as Arthur says: "You know what'll happen if we popped up in the media married. This is a big story right now in the States, you know that. We'd be untouchable by a gang of Ukrainian sex traffickers with CNN is sitting on the lawn.") and actually fall in love in the process, meanwhile avoiding assassins.

In which Eames builds a nest and (accidentally) lures Arthur into it.

"When Arthur is twenty-one, he discovers a mural that's been painted near his apartment, spelling out a question for all to see. Without knowing why, Arthur feels compelled to answer, and over the next few years engages in an on-and-off correspondence with a mysterious artist he's never met. Many years later, Arthur meets Eames for the first time, not knowing that this is the artist he's grown so fond of over the years. This is their story."

After Mal dies Arthur moves in to help Cobb take care of the kids, Philipa starts at a new school with a new teacher Mr.Eames.

Eames is charmed by Arthur but thinks he can't have him because he thinks Cobb and Arthur are involved. Arthur really likes Eames but is getting annoyed that everytime he thinks they are getting somewhere Eames backs off.

Cobb just rolls his eyes and Philipa's family drawings are kind of confusing.

AU in which Eames is the MMA fighter no one messes with, and Arthur is his lover, plain and simple.
Rating: R
Warnings: Fluff, in absurd and disgusting quantities.

Arthur is the son of the ruler, and an Omega male. Eames is leading the revolution. Which kidnaps Arthur. This is only the start of their problems.

"I suppose," said Eames, "that you're going to tell me this is not what it looks like." And that was how he learned that Arthur could run almost as fast in heels as he could out of them.

In which Eames frets and Arthur bites off more than he can chew. Authorized sequel to Nellie's Stranger Things Than Known By Man.

In which Eames stole them a PASIV, and Arthur does too have an imagination.

It doesn't surprise Arthur when he hears, eventually, that they've developed a reputation for fighting like cats and dogs—since, in a sense, they are those things.
[AKA GRATUITOUS CATBOY/WEREWOLF PR0N.]

Eames obsessively tracks a young adult series that may or may not be based on his life.

“Arthur, you've rung me at 2:30 in the bloody morning from Soho where you appear to be on a street corner and shirtless, possibly drugged. I've no doubt you're capable of handling yourself under normal circumstances, but drunken blokes aren't always the most understanding sort, especially when you're not actually selling what you look like you're selling.”

Eames is very good at pretending.

If Eames had never told, Arthur never would have guessed. But now he knows what's really under Eames's skin, he can't stop thinking about it.

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

The story of how Eames and Arthur meet is one of the great legends of the dream-sharing profession.

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.

What were you like as a kid?” Eames asks him.
“Quiet,” Arthur says. “I lived in my head a lot. You?”
“I did too,” Eames replies. “Only I was never quiet about it.”

That's the thing about Hollywood--everyone has a Hollywood story.

Eames looks past the clear psychological trauma and familial issues and sees an awkward boy whose only meaningful relationships are with the cigarettes he burns through like a champion and the books he devours in hours.

And then he has Eames.

The poor bastard's going to end up a serial killer.

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

Arthur's a corporate lawyer, Eames owns the coffee shop across the street, and all good love stories start with a quadruple shot latte.

"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."

A/E, eames as a european history professor that arthur has a hopeless crush on, and he goes to his office hours and plays dumb just to hear eames expound on prussia or whatever. .

Written for the [info]inception_kink meme, for this prompt: Arthur is "that guy", the one that makes girls realize they're lesbians and guys that they're straight. Arthur resists Eames' more serious advances because he doesn't want to lose what little they have.

Arthur doesn’t quite know when renting a house in Westchester and pretending to be in a civil union with Eames came to constitute "lying-low" but however it happened, he wants a do-over.

prompt: a role reversal where Arthur is the one pining after Eames.

“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. This fic is a direct result of my medical degree, up to and including the fact that the majority of what Yusuf says about neural sleep-state transitions is perfectly scientifically true. Including the word 'endosomnogen', which I didn't invent, but kind of wish I had.

Arthur has better subconscious security than anyone in the world. It’s notoriously impossible to steal a secret from him. Unless, of course, you’re Eames.

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