Summary
Famous horror writer Ben Ravencroft finds himself the mark for a little-known but notoriously proficient group of information gatherers. Little do they know, he knows exactly who they are and what they do– after all, what author hasn't happened across sketchy information before?
What do they want? Can he make them help him find some information HE'S looking for, after he's had his fun running them in circles?

Summary
Their relationship was complicated. No-one was really sure what was going on with them, but the one thing they could all agree on was that no-one wanted to be the one to tell Arthur Eames was missing. So they did what any self-respecting criminal would do, they made the rookie do it. They let him walk in there, head held high, thinking he was hot shit only for Arthur to tear him apart. They probably should have given him some pointers first, like don't just blurt it out. Don't call yourself the 'new Eames' and whatever you do, don't tell him we told you. Of course he could have gone in sympathy and roses and Arthur still would have shot him. That was just who they were.

Summary
Arthur wakes up and realizes the last ten years of his life have been a dream. He is nineteen, and he can barely remember where he is. What he can remember is the ghost of Eames’ hands pressed down on his chest trying frantically to stop the blood flooding up around his fingers as Arthur died (as he woke up).

Bookmark Notes:
Seventy-two days after Arthur has come and gone, Eames strolls into the subconscious of the head developer at Murus. Seventy-two days, too long for any hint to linger even in the waking world; and there are no footprints in dreaming, besides.
Arthur has left only two things behind. One, the impeccable results of the job he was hired to do, and two, the equally impeccable job he has done in sabotaging it.
.
Murus wastes no time in hiring one of the world's foremost subconscious security experts to militarize the minds of all high-ranking employees. Arthur answers their call.
Several companies waste no time in hiring one of the world's foremost mindheist thieves to extract further information on the buyout. Eames answers their call.
Then Arthur and Eames answer each other's calls.
This is the third con of its kind they pull. Arthur provides the mark with the best militarization training that money can buy, but leaves an Eames-shaped hole in the fence as he works. Months later, hired by competitors and other interested parties, Eames drops into the mark's subconscious and receives VIP treatment from the security detail left by Arthur.
They split the payout evenly, because neither of them would have it otherwise.
.
Arthur, Arthur. Cool as cool gets, but his blood runs too hot. Arthur lives like he's speeding down a highway, angry and reckless and much too fast. Arthur lives like twenty-seven is as old as he'll ever get
.
Arthur at twenty-seven is so bright, so innocent in his feral cruelty, that Eames can't imagine him any younger. Twenty-seven is as old as he'll ever get, and twenty-seven is as young as he ever was.
.
"I wish you didn't read people so well," says Arthur. "Maybe then you'd look again, for once, and maybe you'd really see what you do to me. [.] Somewhere along the way, you decided you knew who I was," says Arthur. "And now, when you look at me-- you're not looking at me, Eames. What you see, that's me when I was twenty-six. That's not me anymore. [.] When you first started to love me," says Arthur, "you decided I would break your heart. And that's all you're waiting for now, Eames. You're just waiting for me to break your heart. But not everyone loves like you do, so quick and hot and sure of yourself, because not everyone knows themselves like you do. The way you know yourself to turn into everyone else. Usually, people-- what I mean to say is, I-- I think I know what I want, and then I lose it again, and it's a long mess more than anything else, Eames. It's confusing and it's frustrating. [.] But in all of that chaos, you keep-- I keep finding myself inevitably returning to the same thought," says Arthur. "I meet you in Copenhagen, in Rio, in Taipei, and it always circles back into my head, stronger and stronger-- I think I'm in love with him."
The words are a string of heated syllables.
"God help me," whispers Arthur, "but I think I'm in love with him."
"Arthur," says Eames. "Arthur."
"You only think I'm pushing you away," says Arthur, "because nobody knows how to pull like you do."
"I don't mean t--" he begins.
"And I'll get there, one day," says Arthur, "but that's not today or tomorrow. Maybe it won't even be next year. But I want you to know that I'm only twenty-seven, I don't know the first thing about me, and I'm changing, Eames-- I'm very slow at it, and it's little by little, but I'm letting you sink in. [.] I'm learning you," says Arthur. "Is it all right for us to wait together?"
And Eames knows what he has to do.
"Arthur," he says, and he's surprised at how shaky his own laughter is. "Arthur. You frighten me. You frighten me because you think I'm honorable enough to wait. I'm not just going to sit around on my arse and wait. I'm going to wear you down. So as long as we're waiting for you, I'll pull you as hard as I can. I'll make an honest man of you yet."
"Fine words from a criminal," says Arthur. "I'm touched."
"Don't forget," says Eames, "I'm no good for you."
"Of course you're no good for me," says Arthur. "But don't forget who's been breaking the law with you all this while. I'm no good for you either, Mr. Eames. [.] I may not be any good for you," says Arthur, "but I promise that I'll be worth your time."
.
He can let Arthur run, let him thirst for the fantastic, let him fill bathtubs with money and blow up entire blocks of buildings. He can let Arthur be twenty-seven and beautiful, just the way he is, just the way he would never be again.
All he has to do is keep pace. How could he have thought that the right thing was to wait, to stand still and try to catch Arthur's eye? Arthur isn't running from anything, and it's all right for him to run. Through twenty-seven, twenty-eight, twenty-nine. He's only running, running to feel the wind, and Eames is right there with him, breaking the law, filling bathtubs with money, blowing up entire blocks of buildings.

Summary
Arthur has been quietly in love with Eames for years, but never planned on doing anything about it. Post-inception, they work together and Arthur lets Eames see the real him, which has an effect on the forger that Arthur didn't plan on but certainly isn't going to be unhappy about.

Summary
Yusuf hoped the team wasn’t holding any grudges about the Fischer job, but he was making himself scarce, just in case. He was only looking for a quiet, out of the way, safe place for a few months. He’d never intended to be snowed in for the winter, but at least it’d just be him.
Right?

Summary
"Of course, darling! It's one of my prize possessions. Look at how happy you are." Eames vaguely pointed at the middle frame for effect.
"I'm not even smiling," Arthur said, as a small, fond smile lit up the corner of his mouth, threatening to break free.
Unfortunately, they were at work, so Eames didn't expect such a thing to last, but it was a lovely sight.

Summary
“Eames! I heard a rumor about you and Arthur!” Ariadne shouted. “That you two are, like, together.”
“Well, he is standing next to me, so I think we can safely confirm that one is correct,” Eames replied.
“No! Not together, like together.”
Arthur sipped his gin.
Eames pulled his lighter out of his pocket and began to flip it between his fingers, his long and very dextrous fingers. “Oh, that rumor. Did you want to get in on the bet? Because I can give you Yousef’s number.”
