Why this must be read:

This isn't exactly fluff because Eames is at first manipulative and shallow as he strategizes the best way to get into Arthur's pants.  It also isn't fluff in that it shows Arthur as being quite lonely and you get an idea of how isolating their profession could be.  But it is fluff in that the seduction strategy hinges on pretending to be his friend, and through bad TV and takeway, Eames realizes how much he enjoys Arthur's company.  It is also fluff in that when offered the chance to get into his pants, Eames chooses all of Arthur instead.  It takes serious story-telling skills from the author to move from the unfluffy beginnings and turn it into a fluffy (and more importantly) believable end.
