Claim: Inception, Arthur/Eames
Title: "The Gates of Horn and Ivory"
Author: jibrailis
Prompt: 03. Angst.
Rating: NC-17
Length: long
Brief summary: This is one of my favorite fics of all time. IT IS WONDERFUL. If it were a thing to write fanfic about fanfic, I would want to read all the fics based in this universe. It's slightly AU, where Arthur finds himself in a life he doesn't remember and he's not sure which life is the real one. It broke my heart over and over, and god, the ending had me bracing myself. I could not love this fic more. I've tried, it isn't possible.


"This is all a dream. You're either not real or, more likely, an extremely talented forger that someone has hired to impersonate Eames. Who are you, really? Are you Blume? Chang? DiAngelo? You must be someone I've heard of before in the business."

"You really need to get more sleep," Eames says. He reaches out to feel Arthur's forehead but Arthur scoots back and pins him with a hard stare.

"I'm not joking," he says.

Eames' hand falls to his side. "Okay then."

"Consider this a fair warning," Arthur says, each word as precise as an avalanche. "I am going to leave and find a gun dealer. I am going to purchase a pistol and a cartridge of bullets. I am going to shoot myself."

"Arthur," Eames says.

"Whatever information you wanted from me, I hope it was worth it," he says, and gets up to leave.
