An Inception fic for Eames' Stupid Cupid 2021! Prompt: Flying 

for @blackdyed

"Do you ever have flying dreams?" Ariadne asked over the remains of takeaway sandwiches. Eames cut his gaze over to Arthur and watched his face go expressionless.

“Do you ever have flying dreams?” Ariadne asked over the remains of takeaway sandwiches. “I mean, I hear people do it all the time, but the last time I had a flying dream, I was a kid.”

Eames cut his gaze over to Arthur and watched his face go expressionless before he set his half-sandwich down in the center of a napkin and began wrapping it neatly.

“If you use Somnacin frequently enough, you stop dreaming naturally,” Yusuf said with a shrug. “So it’s kind of a moot point.”

Ariadne frowned. “But dreamsharing is really just induced lucid dreaming, right? We do all kinds of impossible things. Why don’t we fly everywhere in dreams?”

Arthur stood abruptly, his wrapped sandwich in his hand. “A shared dream is generally supposed to trick the mark into thinking they are in the real world.” His voice was clipped. “So it would entirely defeat the purpose to introduce such an anomaly.” He turned and strode away, disappearing through the break room door.

Ariadne stared after him. “Damn, what bug flew up his butt?”

Title: Out Of Reach

Summary: Arthur invites Eames somewhere not work-related for the very first time.

For: @motionalocean for @eamesstupidcupid exchange.

Prompt: Stargazing and Secrets

THANK YOU to all who read/click this! You are amazing and make my day SO BRIGHT! I adore each and every one of you! <3!  

Eames exits through the swishy doors leading from the arrivals terminal at Los Angeles International Airport and into the bright light and smoggy air of LA. The sudden dry heat after being on an airplane and then in the airport terminal shocking his system. He can’t wait to get out of his suit jacket, undo his cufflinks and roll up his shirtsleeves.

A companion piece for my fic Tu me donnes envie de te bourrer on Ao3 for the lovely and wonderful @deinvatiwrites​ !! 

Y'all are getting this from this blog because I'm on mobile and signing out is a pain in the ass.

In an earlier post I mentioned that leaving a kudos or comment on Stupid Cupid fics is what good people do. Like a fic? Let the author know!

If, however, the fic/art/poem/interpretive dance video was made specifically for you as part of the gift exchange, LEAVE AT LEAST A COMMENT!

Your gifter spent weeks creating something specifically tailored to your requests and that deserves more than a simple kudos, or worse, no response at all.

But teapcup, you say, surely no one simply ignores giving praise for their gift! But alas, fellow shippers, they do. Whether it's simply meaning to go back and comment and give thanks, or... Honestly, I have no idea why someone wouldn't at least say thank you. But it happens. And for the artist who took time out of their lives to create something for someone else, it sucks. It's demoralizing and it spreads discontent in fandom. So don't do that. Comment. Kudos. SAY THANK YOU, GODDAMIT!

And please, if you cannot meet this bare minimum of decency, stay away from gift exchanges.

you guys didn't see this post before so i'm trying with a meme lmao

I wrote a fic! 👀 Here´s my piece for @kedgeree11 as part of the @eamesstupidcupid 2020

"Did ya hear something?"

"Yeah, your snores,” Eames answers, half awake. “You gonna wake up all of my neighbors.”

"I don't snore, dick."

"Tell that to the neighbors."

In a daydream, Eames talks Arthur into taking a lovely vacation. When he thinks about it objectively, the problem number one he finds is the ‘vacation’. Arthur’s a workaholic, and a paranoid one at that. It will be a hard case to sell.
