Okay, so, no exaggeration, no hyperbole - this is right up there with some of the best original erotic horror I've read. Sexy and unsettling in equal amounts!

On the horror side of things, I loved how you slowly ramped up the dread/feelings of wrongness with each scene (Arthur's strangely melodious voice! Eames repeating what Arthur said without thinking! NAKED PATHETIC CRYING MAN. WAIT, WHAT). And I was grossly delighted at how you played up the canonical moral dubiousness of both Arthur and Eames. I mean, these are two men who, in canon, were willing, active participants in altering Fischer's sense of self (and Eames has tried it more than once!). So it was interesting (if uncomfortable) to see an iteration of Arthur and Eames with all the fun 'gentleman thieves' glamour stripped away.

Without a heart of gold, Eames is basically a very handsome parasite. His plans of taking Arthur's ability and using it on unsuspecting women (amongst others) made me recoil. But man, that's nothing compared to Arthur, who is a straight up sociopath

Sexy and unsettling is precisely what I was aiming for :D

This is disturbingly and engrossing, and somehow hot all at the same time. And, I can very much see Arthur and Eames being these ppl in this surreal alternate reality. Thanks for sharing :)

Disturbing and engrossing are exactly what I was going for. Thanks for commenting, and glad you liked it :)
