These are my favorites and not in particular order I just love every single one of them, also some are probably smuts so beware hehe
Presque Vu by rageprufrock : this is probably THE arthureames fic, I was floored by literally everything in the story
Or, "on the tip of the tongue." Arthur meets Mal first. He inherits Dom, after. Everything else is on him.
Early Returns by rageprufrock
Thinking that a reporter genuinely likes you is pretty much on par with feeling like you really are special to that stripper.
Trouble With Dreams by sparkledark
College AU in which Arthur is a cranky senior and Eames is a professor of Dream Psychology.
These fragments I have shored against my ruins by aprettyaway
This is what his life has become: hotels and coffee and reveling in those few hours he has to himself. The French news lulls him to sleep, and Arthur thinks if he can just get through this job, then it will be over. If only.
Late Night Phone Call by sparkledark
Arthur usually finds blatant fishing for compliments extremely irritating, but in Eames’ case he is reluctantly charmed. In fact, he writes the phrase “reluctantly charmed” into the Eames notebook the moment the words occur to him because they so perfectly encapsulate his entire situation.
Pants on Fire by Helenish
"Ah," Yusuf says, lifting a reproving hand, "are we calling less than 24 hours of memory loss amnesia now?"
we were once cinema gods in the night by gyzym
That's the thing about Hollywood--everyone has a Hollywood story.
All's Fair (In Love & Werewolves) by Whisky (whiskyrunner)
Arthur is lucky to have Eames. Somebody just as different, someone who understands when he wakes up in the middle of the night feeling like he's all alone in the universe. Eames makes that feeling go away.
Eames, however, is not alone.
Arthur has been his editor from the beginning. Eames says he won't work with anyone else, and what Arthur will never tell him is that he would cut anyone who tried.
between my reflex & my resolve by gyzym
People you kiss in an airport baggage claim and then don't talk to for thirteen months shouldn't be able to exist, let alone make your chest do the things Arthur's chest is doing. There are rules.
Arthur is a freshman omega in college who hasn't yet had his first heat. Eames is a friendly alpha who is willing to lend a hand.
Hello, I Love You, Won't You Tell Me Your Name by eleveninches
Many people, Eames would find out later, assumed Eames had wanted Arthur from the moment they'd met. It was true Arthur was devestatingly attractive, but in all honesty, the first thing Eames had thought when he'd met Arthur was, Why did Cobb bring his son? (Or: It's all about trust.)
Don't Fall in Love with a Dreamer by eleveninches
Arthur joins the mile high club, Cobb joins the broken hearts club, Eames joins the smug extractors' club, and Yusuf just wants to club everyone. Or, Eames steals Cobb's point man.
In Our Line of Work by enjambament
Arthur wakes up and realizes the last ten years of his life have been a dream. He is nineteen, and he can barely remember where he is. What he can remember is the ghost of Eames’ hands pressed down on his chest trying frantically to stop the blood flooding up around his fingers as Arthur died (as he woke up).
