Summary
Arthur peels his sleeve down further, looks up. They lock eyes. An accident.
Eames wants to tell Arthur everything, in that moment.
I could die, he wants to say. You could die. This could be the last time we speak to each other.
Maybe, if we both lose our minds, we could start over, he wants to say. Would that be so bad?
I’m sorry, he wants to say, and this one surprises him. It was my fault. I regret everything.
~
Eames is good at reading people. He has never been good at reading Arthur. And that, he supposes, explains a whole lot.
(Eames, his second attempt at inception, and the story of the first.)

Summary
"Perhaps not the textbook definition of a healthy relationship, especially considering what they’ve just been through. But it’s right. It’s fucked up and glorious. It’s them." ~Promises Whispered Like Prayers
Eames and Arthur aren't what you would call typical, and neither is their love story. Before they can enjoy their happily ever after, they must weather years of blood, pain, tears -- at times their own, but mostly that of others. Here's how it all happens. Series will hop and skip around, from the time they first meet to life after inception, including all kinds of moments between and beyond. Canon-compliant, in case that matters to you.

Summary
“His name is Arthur,” Eames comments as he flicks the stove on.
“So you slept with him already,” Yusuf says mildly, sitting at the kitchen table with his laptop.
“I protest this assumption,” Eames protests. “I don’t just sleep with everyone, I can have a normal conversation every now and then.”
Yusuf looks at Eames over his glasses. “Am I wrong?”
Eames frowns.
“You are a terrible friend,” he concludes.

Summary
Arthur gets sick. Eames gets involved.
Arthur takes the notebook back and starts several sentences in the direction of, I don’t need your help, Eames. After a few attempts, Arthur sighs and sticks the notebook in his trouser pocket and pulls Eames up out of the chair. His hand is dry and smooth, and Eames’ palm smells like vanilla and citrus after he lets go.

Bookmark Notes:
And then there are those, like Arthur and himself, that have been at this longer than most. Against all odds and common sense, they’ve endured and flourished in a lifestyle that sports a sixty-four percent mortality rate—Arthur says the statistic has actually dropped some in the last three years. It hasn’t been survival instinct that has pushed them through the years—that was obliterated lifetimes ago. No, it’s just pure willpower and stubbornness—a refusal to obey the dictates of nature or reality, not even the dictates of death. The majority of times Eames has died have been at his own hands, and each death has been as transitory as a shooting star, remarkable for only a flash of time.
But now, with Arthur, and him, and them, it’s suddenly all different. Now the thought of a gun pressed to Arthur’s head puts a cold sweat on his neck. Now the thought of dying carries with it an unfamiliar taste of regret.
Fear, Eames discovers at the grand age of thirty-six, sucks balls in a major way.
