Arthur's life outside of dreamshare

[doctorestranged]

I'm looking for some stories that mention or focus on Arthur's life when he's not actively on a job. I'm wondering if there's a story where Arthur leads a quiet/simple or outdoorsy kinda life (cabin, in the woods, reading books) contrary to one might think and Eames eventually learns about it.

Something similar to I Could See for Miles, Miles,

You've read Resonant's Breaking and Entering right? Features a cabin, though the focus isn't 100% on Arthur's life outside extraction, and it's wonderful.

I kept a rec list of Arthur/Eames fic for years. Some of the links will be broken but many are to Ao3 or non-dead LJs.

I actually can't think of many (any?) fics that answer your description, except for complete AUs, where Arthur is a loss adjuster, or a yoga instructor, or a journalist.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! That rec list was God's work.

:) I certainly enjoyed all the "research" that went into compiling it. I'm really glad these awesome stories are still getting readers. It's sad to think of them being unloved.

Breaking and Entering was the first story that came to mind, actually. I'm also thinking Permanent Press, and because I'll never get tired of reccing this particular story, you should also give the Sex Bucket List series a go if you haven't already.
