Metaphors as mixed as you can make them by halflinen (NC17)
Fandom: INCEPTION
Pairing: Arthur/Eames
Length: 52k
Author on LJ: http://halflinen.livejournal.com/
Author Website: none found
Why this must be read:
The Eames of this story is an unprincipled criminal (though to be fair Cobb puts all of them in danger of insanity, Yusuf drugs everyone for money, Saito is sabotaging his competition in a really nasty way and Ariadne invades Cobb's mind and privacy so this is no group of angels). What Eames attempts to do to Arthur at the beginning of this fic is awful (and please be sure you check the warnings). The reason I still like this story is that it slowly explores how his developing friendships and deepening understanding of Arthur changes and humanizes him. This has fantastic group dynamics between the original crew (minus Cobb) and is one of my favorite Saito characterizations in all the fandom (and I have a massive Dirty Daddy crush on Ken Watanabe, so I am particular about Saito). It also has one of the most horrifying (and I mean horrifying psychologically, not horrifying gory) depictions of Limbo that has been stuck in my imagination ever since. It may not be for everyone, but I think this has more bite than your typical fanfic and it is a long and satisfying read.

(story is in six parts with links to the next part at the bottom of each page - and that is my last use of parantheses in this post)
