So sweet, lyrical and evocative.

Thank you! I love ~unaware ~boyfriends and while A/E is so OMG YOU TWO ARE SO BOYFRANS E/Y is so understated and delicious. :3

[moleskinned]

this was... wow.

[canyousayhot]

I really hope that is a good 'wow' and not a what-did-you-do-there 'wow' /chuckles nervously

[moleskinned]

Never think it would be anything but a good 'wow'--you're a great writer.

In that case thank you so much for your kind words, I couldnt ask for higher praise. ♥ Thanks for reading!

[alostcorner]

Mmmmmmm yes, this is perfect and dreamy and adorable.

And now I want an orange, hot damn.

[canyousayhot]

Thank you! Mombasa romancin' ftw!

Don't lie, what you really want is Yusuf to feed you an orange. I see right through you~

[alostcorner]

WELL OBVIOUSLY, I MEAN LOOK AT HIM, but I make do with what I have which is: no Yusuf, one orange.

So dude, I'm like, constantly on the lookout for new Eames/Yusuf or even just Yusuf-centric things. Do you plan on writing more stuff along these lines? And if you do, mind if I friend you?

[canyousayhot]

IM LOOKING. IM LOOKING. 8)

I very rarely plan anything I write, it all just sneaks up on me and steals my entire day. I have a couple other stories (at varying stages of finished e__e;; ) that I'm filling right now, so I probably wont be writing anything soon unless inspiration strikes like it did here. But I love Yusuf. And I love Eames. SO THATS A LONG WINDED WAY OF SAYING, YEAH PROBABLY DEFINITELY :D Friending policy is: the more the merrier! ♥

Is it wrong to be absurdly pleased that I can read that poem in French? Lol. Anyway, it's a lovely choice!

I love how you've portrayed their relationship here. The image of Yusuf feeding orange slices to Eames is both ridiculously adorable and mind-numbingly sexy all rolled into one.

It's now my ultimate dream.

You write very lovely prose. :)

[canyousayhot]

Wrong? No. Hot? Yes. I'm a big fan of fruit in poetry. ...which I guess, kinda reads as: "I'm a big fan of sexual metaphors in poetry" but whatever~

They really are the underrepresented BLATANT ship in the fandom. C'mon, like Eames didnt at least have a bit of a crush on Yusuf? He's obviously attracted to smart people and Yusuf is just the right mix of intelligence and blatant disregard for the law that Eames would find attractive. Lol, sorry, I'm blathering at you now!

Thank you so much for reading♥

[kirstenlouise]

No, no, blather away! In fact, I will respond in kind, because I like preaching to the choir. ;)

As much as I like the idea of Arthur/Eames, I think that there's way more canon support for a preexisting relationship between Eames and Yusuf. Like the scene where he's talking to Cobb and he SMILES THAT RIDICULOUS SMILE?

They so slept together. Don't even try to tell me otherwise.

Plus, I mean, Yusuf is like... so much more laid back than Arthur, which makes him a much better match for Eames. He and Arthur butt heads all the time, and while it's cute to a point, I just see the irritation outweighing any positive aspects in the end.

Yusuf only gets the sharp end of Eames' tongue once ("Too much free champagne before take-off, eh, Yusuf?") and, to me, it's more of an endearment than ~darling ~ will ever be. It's easier for me to take that as a friendly tease than anything he says to Arthur.

Eames and Arthur are just better candidates for hate sex than actual lovers. That's all I'm saying.

[canyousayhot]

You miss, are distracting me from my lab report. For that, I thank you ;)

THAT SMILE. OMG. And the way his chest kinda puffs up? Like he's proud of Yusuf as a person, like he's Eames' and Eames is excited about showing him off to Cobb in that "look at what I found! Isn't it shiny? Dont you wish you had something special like this?" but obviously not obnoxiously like that (bc Idc what anyone says, Cobb's love for Mal is my definition of OTL even though that is a WHOLE OTHER rant not for this comment box lol

[hagiologic]

This is entirely lovely. *hearteyes*

[canyousayhot]

Thank you! /chinhands

(Also, your icon is too cute OMG JGL WHY SO QT??)
