    Summary

    Benji Dunn works as a physical therapist for all kinds of government agents. CIA, FBI, Secret Service— when anyone needs assistance getting their body back in order, they come to him. Periodically, though, a mysterious block appears on his schedule. No name, no medical history, nothing but the characters BE11.

    The year is 1996, and Benji meets Ethan Hunt under very different circumstances. And the ripples pull wider and wider as time moves on, until the familiar image becomes something new.

     

    A quick lesson on broken bones: If they heal wrong, you're going to have to break them again.

    Summary

    “Dom wouldn’t stop telling me the rules for architects,” Ariadne grins, swinging her legs, “so surely there are rules for forgers, too?”
    “The only rule, pet, is that there are no rules,” Eames lies. “A forger can be anyone and anything they choose. It’s the whole point.”
    Eames didn’t become the best forger by passing out his trade secrets like flyers on the street. There are plenty of rules: don’t bring yourself into your roles. Unless you can speak Russian in your sleep, don’t try to do it in someone else’s dream. If it’s your subconscious, forge as little as possible—they know it’s you. They’ll always know. It doesn’t mean they like you being something you’re not. Always forge sober.
    Never forge a person you love, because you have no idea how the rest of the world sees them.
    Unlike Cobb, Eames never broke his rules. Until he did.

    Summary

    It's not that Arthur doesn't enjoy his boring job (because he does), and it's not that Arthur doesn't have hobbies (because he does), and it's not that Arthur doesn't experience a surprising number of romantic prospects cropping up (because he does); it's just that he's not happy for no reason, and he can't stop texting his tailor.

    Summary

    Things Eddie Brock flirts with on a regular basis: death, insanity, his ex, his ex’s new boyfriend, and also the alien symbiote that lives inside his body. Not bad for a loser with no game, really.
