Summary
Arthur has his own way of preparing his overthinking subordinate for missions.
It’s unconventional, to say the least.

Summary
These are the dreams we should be having. I shouldn’t have to clean them up like this.
Eames may be going a little insane. It's all Arthur's fault really.

Summary
It was supposed to be a simple job. All they had to do was enter Alexander Burgess’s dreams and convince him to go away with his lover Paul and leave behind Fawney Rig for good. Simpler than Inception. Safer than Extraction.
Yet when Hob Gadling and Arthur Freeman get inside the head of their mark, they realize that not everything is as it seems. Alexander Burgess is hiding a much darker secret, one that is deeply hidden within the basement not just at Fawney Rig, but also inside of Alex’s mind. And Paul refuses to tell them what it is.
Or: What happens when Dream is set free after a hundred years and he discovers that humans have created the technology to infiltrate dreams?

Summary
And you know, there's something really liberating about putting your thoughts down and sending them out and not being able to take them back. I think you're probably reading this and thinking that I'm significantly weirder deep down inside than you'd thought, and that's all right because it's the truth. But maybe you don't care and you've already thrown this away and you'll toss any other ones I send out with the junk mail, unopened. And that'd be okay too. It's not the reading that counts; it’s the writing.
There are two boxes full of letters in Eames's desk drawer. The ones he receives from Arthur, and the ones he wishes he could send in reply.

Summary
Eames thinks he knows what to expect when he gets involved with Arthur. He loves being wrong.
"Eames has always believed that, when he finally manages to talk (coerce/bribe/incept) Arthur into becoming his lover, it will be a shallow affair kept to the confines of anonymous hotel rooms...And that’s fine, really. It’s worth it, being Arthur’s dirty little secret, if it gives him the privilege of tearing off those gorgeous suits and sucking bruises into smooth skin."

Summary
“He knows something happened. He’s looking for it.”
In order to stop Robert Fischer from developing the technology to identify the people who incepted him three years before, Eames and Arthur craft a complicated con to steal Robert's method before he goes public. Targeting Robert while on holiday, Eames creates the perfect mask to lure Robert into his confidence. However, the more Eames gets to know the man Robert has become since the Inception, the more Eames wonders if he’s truly capable of destroying the life that Robert’s struggled so hard to build for himself…and whether the feelings he’s having for Robert are just part of the game.

Summary
“Apparently the mark likes his men waifish and demure, and that is something our dear Arthur could never pull off.”
“But I can?” Ariadne asks, arching a brow at him in the mirror of the vanity she’s seated in front of.
“You cannot possibly be worse,” Eames replies, immediately and without even an ounce of doubt.
—
Ariadne tries forging, and it goes exactly how one would expect.

There’s a surprised moment of silence on the other end of the line, and then Cobb asks, “Eames? Why do you have Arthur’s phone?”
“Because he’s sleeping,” he says shortly. “What do you want?”
~
In which Cobb calls Arthur the morning after Inception, and Eames intercedes on Arthur's behalf. It's about time someone takes care of Arthur for a change.

Summary
Ariadne is convinced Arthur and Eames are a couple. Yusuf is doubtful. Cobb isn't as oblivious as people think. Arthur and Eames are completely, unsubtly domestic during the job.

Summary
"What are you doing with that?" Arthur asked, resisting the urge to slap Eames's hands away from the briefcase like a child with a favored toy. Eames was close enough that all he'd have to do would be to reach out a hand.
"We're going to do some training exercises," Eames said in a cheerful tone that filed away at Arthur's teeth. As far as Arthur was concerned, there was a very short list of things to be cheerful about, and “training exercises” weren't on it.
Eames might be an asshole, but the fact that they can't get out of Canada is all Arthur's fault.

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.
There are
25262731! stories total planned for this series. (holy shitnuggets, I addedanother onemore, someone stop me)Look for the Psycho Heroes Soundtrack on Spotify!

Summary
Arthur wakes up in a time loop. It's not a dream. If he can't make his reality go back to normal, then he might as well find something to pass the time, and no one knows how to entertain like Eames.

Summary
A game of poker is always a winning situation for a Forger like Eames. But when a woman from his past shows up, the devil in disguise, as he liked to think of her, things don't go exactly the way Eames had planned. They say there's honor among thieves... Ha, yeah right.

Summary
It’s not that it’s not dangerous down there, but at least when you're down there, there are rules to keep you safe. Watch your depth. Check your air. Safety stop: five meters, three minutes, just in case. Don’t taunt the wildlife. Stay with your buddy. And above all else, don’t ever hold your fucking breath. If you follow the rules, you live.
On the surface, there are so many more variables. There are so many unforeseen circumstances. Drunk drivers, carbon monoxide leaks, Russian aerospace conglomerates and incompetent coworkers, Arthur standing there on the resort’s dock glaring at you as you climb out of the water.
Eames moves to a tropical island. Arthur is afraid of the ocean.

Summary
There was a time when Eames thought he knew what to make of Arthur, but that was a time when they were both young and stupid. Or at least younger and somewhat more stupid. Now Eames knows better than to think he knows anyone at all, but especially Arthur, and most of the time he wishes that he also knew better than to let Arthur do the things that he does.
The things that Arthur does go something like this.

Summary
“I’d like to kiss you now,” Arthur said softly, leaning so close, but not enough to touch, not yet. Because Eames was worth the truth, was worth the danger, was worth everything. Because Eames knew him, knew all of him, and loved him. Really loved him. Because Eames was his, and he was going to take excellent care of him.
Eames shivered under Arthur’s hand, both an instinct and a gift. Still, he pretended to be undaunted, staring at Arthur with a challenging little smirk. “I’m right here, darling.”
