Why this must be read: When I first came across this story, the summary was all I really needed to hook my interest: "You are either a genius of unheard of proportions, or a complete moron. Is it even possible to incept yourself?"

After the events of the film, Eames is struggling to sleep, and he reaches out to Arthur for company if not exactly for help. Arthur, tired himself, tells Eames to go to sleep, and miraculously he does. It doesn't take Eames too many pestering phone calls to Arthur before he figures out that somehow Arthur is the only person who can get him to sleep. The trouble is ... how to explain that to Arthur without looking like a complete idiot?


"You've been awake for more than two weeks straight?" The disbelief in Arthur's voice is almost palpable, that thin undertone of concern buried beneath it.

Eames shifts on his bed, uncomfortable. "Not exactly."

"Will you please elaborate, Mr. Eames?" It's not difficult to hear the irritation seeping into Arthur's tone and Eames bits back a sigh. There is no way to explain it without sounding weird.

"I've managed to sleep three times since then, and only after speaking to you," he finally admits.
