Interlude with important character-building nonsense (okay okay, it's for sex)

[featherfish]

I recently told a commenter that I usually update in the mornings, and I guess that's still categorically true, but the other end of it this time. Perhaps I jynxed it.

Anyway, this is Eames the Liar Part 5, which contains sex & gayness, referential humor and all the trappings of a truly sweet dysfunctional relationship.

New readers start here.

You're absolutely right, it is a TRULY sweet dysfunctional relationship. And yet it's still pretty functional for being a HOUSE OF CARDS OF LIES. Delicious!
Schmoop schmoop schmoop! Also love the Cobbsposition there. so full of guilt and bad awkward feelings.
Yaaaaaaay! I want more though. so much more. Provide me with more, fic-monkey!

I like that A) I could see you typing this since you are literally sitting next to me right now, B) you can now see me typing this response. SO META. truly we live in the future, and the secret the 50s wasn't telling us is, the future is pretty stupid.

Anyway, thank you my dear. You know I value your adulation always. Glad you like the Cobbsposition and the dys/function. And as you know better than anyone there'll be more soon.

HOUSE OF CARDS OF LIES!!! It'll never die. Because now it's on the internet. Good job.

I am really kinda mad at the 50s for lying to us in such a heinous manner. We were supposed to have flying cars and underwater hotels and shit, dammit. If the promise of the 50s had been realized, we could probably have PASIV technology for real and then Inception wouldn't be a glorious fantasy but like...some sort of domestic drama-slash-morality tale. Shit. I ruined my own argument there.
Regardless! Meta non-flying-car future is pretty stupid, yeah.

So if you write more delicious angsty/schmoopy goodness, I'll give you a blowjob.
HOW BOUT THEM APPLES

[featherfish]

That'd be tricky. But I appreciate the sentiment.

I'm a lil afraid to read the next chap even though I'm dying to!

[featherfish]

Well, that's more or less what I'm going for, so, awesome! It'll be good. I hope. I promise.

Oh, man. Just found this, and it is GLORIOUS. I was watching Rocknrolla tonight and this was precisely what I was craving. INCREDIBLE. Love the angst, the POV, Arthur and Eames...

[featherfish]

Thank you! I know what it's like to crave something that seems like it would be hard to find -- which is why I do my best to act on the impulses I get to write stuff like this. Very glad to be fulfilling that craving, and pleased you're enjoying it. :)

I am really enjoying this story!

[featherfish]

I aim to please!

The entire premise of this makes me so happy it might be considered a little sad.

I keep thinking about which of the three would be dead, but I keep going to my first thought which entailed nothing of the sort.

Well, unless it was metaphorically.

To one of them.

This could just be me wishing upon a lark though, so I kind of dread reading the future chapters a tiny bit.

the tremor brothers are sort of like the wild bunch... ish.

[featherfish]

Yay! I'm glad you're happy. I do not think it's sad at all! But I'm a little biased.

So wait, are you saying you think Bob might be the "dead" one, on account of his being not Handsome Bob anymore? Because I did wonder if people would arrive at that conclusion. However maybe I'm misunderstanding what you're saying.

Either way, light shall be shed soon enough.

[scoodoo58]

Yes, that is exactly what I am saying.

Cause if one of my fellow gangster friends just up and disappeared (you kind of wrote it like this), I'd be like 'Holy fuck, he's probably dead, sad.'

[featherfish]

Yeah. Well, that's a totally valid and understandable interpretation. And certainly meant to be ambiguous.

Aaand you shall find out soon enough! dun dun dun.
