katikat"Metaphors As Mixed As You Can Make Them" by halflinen | Arthur/Eames | Eames tries to incept Arthur. A story of forgiveness, family, fancy suits, and ~feelings. | ~52.000 words
This is not a happy story, it's really, really angsty though it has a happy ending. It's downright painful in places. But the last third where Eames is basically losing his mind, is simply stunning. Fantastic read!
“I think—that it would be better for you if I wasn’t around.”
“It wouldn’t be.”
Eames looks down at his now cold sandwich, at the crumbs coated in shiny grease. They look like little blackened grains of sand and his stomach churns at the sight.
“I mean it, Eames.” Arthur has this look on his face, like he’s trying to be forceful, compelling, but his eyes are too wide to come off as anything but scared. “Don’t—Don’t do anything stupid.”
Eames smiles a miserable smile. “I think we can all agree it’s a little late for that.”
