katikat | Podfic rec: Inception

"Early Returns" by pru, read by tinypinkmouse | AU | Arthur/Eames | Thinking that a reporter genuinely likes you is pretty much on par with feeling like you really are special to that stripper. | 1hr. 45min.

Eames just keeps staring at Arthur like he's the secret, magical, integrated public records database every investigative journalist wants — like Arthur has every answer and all the cross-references and won't charge him 5 cents a page for printing like City Hall, and it takes everything in Arthur not to throw his coffee at Eames and run.

What a wonderful fic. And it actually made me all teary-eyed. When Arthur mentioned to Mal that obviously he hadn't been a good laid if Eames didn't bother to stay in the morning, it broke my heart :(
