Summary
They weren't meant to live like this. To die like this, over and over and over again. There were few things in life Arthur was certain of, but that was one of them

Summary
There is a reclusive tech genius and the liberty of the free world is at stake, but the important bit is that Arthur goes undercover as a supermodel. (Inspired by this lovely art by shiroi_ten.)

It was one of those nights where the fire crackled and the rain dripped down the panes of the windows, and Arthur had just killed three men.

Summary
A body drops to the ground without a sound. The snow grows red underneath him, only just visible in the early morning light, but Eames doesn’t stop and watch. He moves on to the next guard. Holds, breathes, counts and shoots.

He's not sure how this part works. He thinks that even if he had an instruction manual he’d fuck it up.

A Life You Haven't Started Yet by VIII_XIII for kedgeree11 (kedgeree)
Fandoms: Inception (2010)

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
Ariadne hasn't seen Arthur and Eames in nearly a year, and she's missed them both. Except, every time she tries to meet up with them Eames is absent, and it takes her much longer than she'd like to work out why.
In which there are tears, Deep Meaningful Chats, Churchill references and, eventually, puppies.
---
“Are we talking terminal?” Ariadne asks, her voice rising in panic, because she was right to worry, everyone takes the fucking piss out of her but she this time she was right-
“No!” Arthur sounds appropriately horrified and Ariadne abruptly feels like she’s no longer going to have a heart attack, “God no, Ari, it’s nothing like that- we’d tell you if it was. I think, I think it’s just better if he talks to you. Try not to worry.”

Summary
Mish-mash of two prompts from the inception kink meme (summarized):
Arthur hurts his leg on a job and needs Eames' help. Arthur takes it in stride, but Eames is acting weird about seeing him naked.
and
Eames confesses that he's in love with Arthur, and Arthur is taken aback, because he's not in love with Eames. Yet.

"French toast, pancakes, steak and eggs -- I could make you anything in the world, pet, but no. Egg-white omelette, morning after morning. It shows a distinct lack of imagination."

Eames lets Arthur patch him up. Not that there's anywhere he could go with a bullet hole straight through his calf, anyway.

Summary
Eames knows this anger, the shade of it. It’s a frustrated, painful anger, the kind that pinches your throat and wears your mind out and the only thing you can think to do is scream. He can see it winding up in Arthur now, his hands shaking around his roll of gauze, the way his elbows jumble under the strain, the way he squeezes his eyes shut. He breathes like a smokestack, turns his face away from Eames, but there’s nowhere he can go that’s far enough for him to hide this.
This is not the kind of anger Arthur would ever want to let out. He can’t polish it, can’t perfect it, can’t make it productive. His teeth grate over each other as he cracks open his mouth, and Eames can feel this is it — he’s going to start shouting despite himself.
____
After a job, Arthur's a wreck in more ways than just a bloody one, and Eames isn't sure how to reach him without getting himself cut apart as well.

Summary
A story that starts with a spiral, ends with a fire, and is stained with ink and blood in the middle.
(In other words, a tattoo shop AU that totally took on a mind of its own.)

Summary
“Arthur,” Eames said, as if calling him from another room, but keeping his tone calm and steady. “Arthur. You’re not there anymore. You’re here, with me and Cobb.”

Summary

Clearly this calls for a meet-cute.
