High school AUs are love. ♥ This was so adorable, lol. I love Arthur and Eames working together on their movie and the progression of their relationship and Arthur being the one to make the first move. ♥

It’s obviously not a secret that I love band stories (hello bandom, lol), so of course this was awesome. XD This is so awesome — I love Cobb’s emo poetry and Yusuf skyping his cat and Ariadne being an starstruck and Fischer with his awesome origin story, lol, and OMG guitar dueling! XD

If you watched a video of Arthur playing without sound, it would be the most boring thing in the world. Arthur March is famous for walking onstage in a suit and then not doing much in it. He has no stunts in his arsenal. He doesn’t duckwalk, windmill, or play his guitar behind his back using a toothpick just because he can. Sometimes, if a particular riff has him excited, he stands on one foot. It’s dull viewing.

NGL, I laughed so hard at this, especially the one foot thing! XD

Love And Let Love

Eames just breaks my heart with how much he loves Arthur and finding out about Arthur still being so in love with Ariadne even after Arthur goes back to him. =( And then the ending, I don’t even know! It just breaks me because it’s not A/A/E (seriously, I was hoping SO MUCH for my OT3!) and, I don’t know, the feel I get from this fic is saying that it’s completely A/A and Eames just wallowing in heartache. =(((

Title: When I Was a Child
Author: aimlesstravels
Rating: PG-13 || Status: Complete
Summary: Phillipa Marjorie Cobb is only five minutes old the first time she sees her Uncle Arthur. She’s eleven the first time she sees him shoot a man. But it doesn’t scare her. Not one little bit.

When I Was a Child

I really like aimlesstravels’ characterization of Phillipa — she’s just so fleshed out and so endearing! I’m choosing not to believe that Eames died at the end (it’s so ambigious) because pretty much all of aimlesstravels’ fics reference each other and I remember there being another Phillipa one where she was even older at the end, lol. XP

This is awesome! I love that Arthur shoots Mal’s projection of Eames the first time he meets him, LOL. And then Eames gets Arthur’s attention because he blows up a warehouse, haha. And OMG, the using the PASIV while stoned scene was SO HOT. *_*

Regency AUs are awesome, LOL! This was another fic that I was holding out on reading until it was complete! It was hard because I started reading a little before I decided not do read WIPs so yeah. XP Anyway, I love this whole fic — it’s so fun and the characterizations are awesome and Ariadne is pretty much the best person ever. XP LOVE IT!

I love backstory fics so much because they’re always so facinating! I really liked the interaction between Arthur and Eames — it just rings so true to me.

“You love your parents?”

“Of course, that’s not even a question.”

“Yeah, see, that’s the thing,” Arthur says. “I can never remember loving him. But I knew him.”

Lovely.

OMG STRIPPER EAMES!!! Dude, his stage name totally killed me, I was laughing so much! And poor Arthur, he was so nervous and it was totally adorable, LOL. This is, like, a bunch of my favorite tropes rolled into one. XD I think I need a bazillion more words of this ‘verse!!! XDDD

I don’t really have a tattoo kink, but inked!Arthur is just super hot, LOL. I loved how shocked Eames was when he found out. Also, June was awesome. XP

‘I feel like I’m participating in a Victorian peepshow,’ says June. ‘Involuntarily.’

LOLOLOL! XD

Rating: NC-17 || Status: Complete
Summary: “Been wanting to do this for years,” Eames mumbles against Arthur’s spit slick mouth when he manages to pull back to take a breath, sliding Arthur’s jacket off his shoulders. Arthur makes an annoyed sound when it hits the ground, but he doesn’t pull back to pick it off the floor.

“No offense,” Arthur says, muffled into his mouth. “But no shit.”

Archive:
I’ll Take You in Pieces

This was awesome and hot, but the ending stole the show for me. XD

Arthur hums. “I suppose I could stay,” he says, but there’s something guarded in his tone, like he’s dressed again, even sprawled out naked beside him.

Eames shifts closer, rubs his fingers against the palm of Arthur’s hand before loosely twisting them in Arthur’s fingers. He squeezes. “Stay,” he says, quiet.

“Yeah,” Arthur says. “Yeah, okay.”

Our Love is Like Water

mMm, flangst! I am such a sucker for flangst, LOL.

Eames sometimes thinks Arthur is slipping through his fingers, one day at a time, until one morning, he knows, he’ll wake and there’ll be nothing to show Arthur was ever there, and it will be Eames with the broken heart, Eames with the hopes and expectations and dreams crushed underfoot, and how they would laugh, his conquests, his one-night loves and losses, how they would laugh.

Ugh, heart-clench! Absolutely lovely. XP

Summary: “Please, Arthur,” Eames whispers, just barely touching him in the dark. “Please come back.”

“I’m dreaming,” Arthur says. “I am.”

“You’re not,” Eames says, and it sounds wrenched out of him, sounds raw.

Figured Out What We’re Missing

Oh gosh, this hurt in the best way! Everything about this is absolutely gorgeous and heartbreaking. I love it when people play with the idea of Mal being right — I love how Arthur was pulled into this and how, at the end, he’s mourning for something he never really had in the first place (oh heart). imogenedisease is so my favorite for Inception angst, lol.

Pulling Our Weight

This is so cute!

He exhales in an exasperated huff, struggling to tip the mask back far enough so that it won’t totally blind him but not so far that it’ll fall off completely. There’s the fact that he’s still holding a sword, though — he ends up accidentally punching himself in the head with the handle and newly re-realizes why a sword has never been his weapon of choice.

I admit it, I kind of laughed SUPER HARD at this. XD

Also, the Cinderella one! And the Sleeping Beauty one! Love it. XD

I saw this rec’d all over the place, but I was holding out on reading until it was finished, lol. AND NOW IT IS AND IT IS SO AWESOME! ♥ I loved the pacing of this and the progression of the relationship between Arthur and Eames. Their relationship was just so gorgeous and I’m a total sap, haha. Also the way that the whole dream-weavers aspect was incorporated in this was absolutely lovely! ♥
