katikatWas in the mood for some visually stunning sci-fi, so I chose Inception. Also, there are so many Arthur/Eames stories out there and I just didn't... get the slash in this case. But this time, I was determined to not let anything get in the way of my getting a new slash pairing. So, I put my slash goggles on - you know, the ones that are as thick as the bottom of a shot glass - and off I was on a merry chase after said pairing! *determined*
And now that I saw the movie for the 4th time, when I squint really hard and tilt my head at just the right angle...
There were basically just a handful of meaningful scenes, right?
-- When Eames asked Cobb if he was still working with the "stick in the mud" AKA Arthur, who was the best at his job but had no imagination.
-- Then the banter during the mission planning, when Eames accused Arthur of condescension and Arthur wanted a more solid plan than basically "we'll wing it."
-- The part where Eames had a blast with Arthur going through the "kicks".
-- Eames' "You have to dream bigger, darling" quip with the gun.
-- And the scene where Eames warned Arthur that the security would be coming hard after him and Arthur promised to lead them on a merry chase and added "just go to sleep, Mr. Eames."
And that's it. Wow, fandom really knows how to cook with almost nothing at hand *iz in wonder* But I think I'll give it a try...
So, any tips for a newbie in this fandom? What are the must-reads for the Arthur/Eames pairing?

Inception is a fandom that really showcases how capable fandom is of starting something out of nothing, like you said XD
