How to Outrun Your Enemies and Cock-block Your Friends by laceymcbain
Fandoms: Inception (2010)
03 Apr 2012

Summary
“I don't think the definition of 'easy' includes being shot at by Russians and getting cock-blocked by your best friends!” Arthur shouts.
This could be the beginning of something amazing ... if Dom and Mal will only stay out of Arthur's way. A story in which there are Russians, Arthur spends a lot of time in his underwear, and (sadly) no one gets laid.

Summary
“Arthur, you've rung me at 2:30 in the bloody morning from Soho where you appear to be on a street corner and shirtless, possibly drugged. I've no doubt you're capable of handling yourself under normal circumstances, but drunken blokes aren't always the most understanding sort, especially when you're not actually selling what you look like you're selling.”

Summary
“No, Arthur, we can stay here at the Motel 6 forever. I'll get a job washing dishes and parking cars, and you can start as a busboy and work your way up to night manager. We'll stay here in Room 13, living on take-away Chinese and love, and never, ever have to leave.”
A story that started out as "Eames stops touching Arthur" and ended up somewhere else entirely. Specifically, a Motel 6.

Summary
“I’m going to sue you for workplace sexual harassment,” Arthur tries one night at a bar, without much hope.
“Well, it would certainly be an interesting challenge for your barrister,” Eames allows. “Seeing as we have no legal workplace, I’m wanted in half of Europe, and last I checked you’ve got an Interpol red notice out on you. But sure, absolutely – give it a go. Never know unless you try, and all that.”
##
[or: Arthur is married to Eames for the better part of a decade. Then he wakes up.]

Summary
It is close to Christmas, isn’t it. The 22nd? No, that was yesterday. Or…how many hours was he on that first plane? Felt like about an entire day in itself. And then with the layover, which Eames slept through most of. If he left Buenos Aires on the evening of the 23rd, and then with the delay in Atlanta—
And then the door swings open, and Arthur is standing there in a knitted jumper so repulsively festive it makes Eames question his lucidity, looking dour and suspicious and oh, god, it really is Christmas Eve, isn’t it? And Eames is so, so happy to see his angry face. He grins so hard it makes his cheeks hurt.
“Eames?” Arthur says, voice low, like he doesn’t want anyone to overhear him. “What the fuck are you doing here?”

It’s a combination of gratefulness and the Pride footage showing on one of the café’s televisions that has Arthur announcing, “I could marry you so hard right now.”
Written for the prompt "overwhelmed" on behalf of Team Romance over at ae_match. Also inspired by this prompt on the kink meme.

Summary
The Spit Light is the most forgettable lighthouse on Montseag, situated within sighting distance of her grandmother, The Great Headlight on the west harbor. The Spit is a rocky, curled finger of land in the southwest where no boat but one that’s frightfully, impossibly lost would stray. And even those unlucky seafarers would only find use of the Spit Light as a range light for the Great Head, to slip back around the curl of rock and toward safer waters.

Summary
The thing about best friends in a small town is that you don’t get to choose. Instead, you get exactly the person you need. It goes that way with Arthur and Eames. Maybe it’s because both of them aren’t made for small town life, not at all, and so instead of growing to fit the town, they grow to fit together.

Summary
Six days after the inception job, Arthur’s door was kicked in by MI6 and Eames, the former pointing guns at him and the latter looking like he had not slept a wink since LAX.
“They contacted me and needed the best team. Who was I going to take aboard if not you?”
Arthur wanted to say several things, including but this was supposed to be my holiday, we just got out of that nightmare and you’re trying to send us into another one, you had the fucking nerve to drag Cobb out of the reach of his children, why the hell do you work for MI6, how the hell did you find me, can’t you just go away and why are you staring me like that?
“Fine.” He stood up, braving the fact that he was only dressed in his blue pyjama bottoms. “What do you need done?”
“If you could wear something less unsettling,” Eames said.
