katikat | Fic rec: Inception

"the red lantern" by veritas-nescio | Arthur/Eames | It's almost impossible to find your way home if an architect hasn't designed the layers, but having someone looking for you helps immensely. | ~4.100

Eames doesn’t plan on settling on the bed next to him, he doesn’t really have a plan at all. But the loss of Arthur’s presence is a physical ache that he had felt from an entirely different country, and propping himself on one elbow next to Arthur on the bed allows him at least the illusion of closeness. He reaches up to run a gentle thumb over the fine line of Arthur’s eyebrow, hoping for a flicker beneath the pale eyelids, not surprised when he doesn’t get it.

Great fic. I really admire veritas_nescio's imagination. It's wonderful, so, so wonderful. Her Arthur and Eames are always so tender with each other.
