Notes: Um. What? I know. I write something experimental for my first Inception fic and then I write this. I dunno guys, I'm fucked up. This is for
fakebody, who asked for Eames/Arthur and this is what I came up with. You guys, this is obviously all your faults. I should be working on my SUPER-SERIOUS-INCEPTION!fic but instead, I'm writing this. Deal with it.
( Yusuf is also kind of a sweet deal in this )
Riiight. I know. I go from pretentiousness to this. If I knew how to make one of them stop, you know I totally would. I blame Tom Hardy's chubby this face. HIS FACE GUYS. *points to icon* HIS MOTHERFUCKING FACE.

Author's notes: Um, okay. Well, I was in a weird mood. Probably because I was wearing a stripped gray and white button and little else when
roflolmaomg emailed me for making out fic and next thing I know, I'm abandoning everything I'm doing to write this little ficlet that makes little sense and is all... well, it's all very Samuel Beckett goes gay and has lots of fucking feelings. You should probably listen to "Don't Cry For Me Argentina" while you read this. NOT EVEN JOKING. HOW IS THIS MY LIFE. Obviously, if you've made it this far then you should be given some sort of award.
Oh inception fandom, you fucking slay me. This is my first fic. I ALSO HAVE SOME FEELINGS ABOUT THIS AND I WILL SHARE/COMPLAIN/ANGST MY HEART OUT LATER. But they look a lot like this:

right? RIGHT? Oh god. Why am I even still typing right now?

Beta: I can't thank
thalialunacy enough for being so patient with my comma abuse and the general amount of pretentiousness this story contains. I adore her. This story would be nothing without her.
Author's Notes: This story started out as a gift for
roflolmaomg (as she beta'd my
paperlegends epic) and turned into a monster. First and foremost, I hope that she enjoys it. If you recognize any of the lines, they are not mine and they belong to Richard Siken. Special attention is paid to Proust, Kafka, Plath, Woolf, Faulkner and dozen of other prolific authors. The title is from Tom McRae's song "Ghost of a Shark".
