Author: cthonical
Prompt: 26. Death.
Rating: NC-17
Length: long
Brief summary: Eames and Arthur practice the best and most elegant ways to kill each other in dreams. So it's an exploration of all kinds of deaths as well as what it really means to be alive. It's a really clever premise, beautifully executed. No pun intended.

Claim: Inception, Arthur/Eames
Title: "Lions and Tigers"
Author: starlingthefool
Prompt: 33. Crossover.
Rating: R
Length: long
Brief summary: An Inception crossover with Calvin and Hobbes, and it's genius how they fit together, with Eames as an adult Calvin. So you get a gorgeous fic about nostalgia, imagination, and childhood friends. And of course, growing up.
If Arthur gets any say in the matter, it’ll be his last time working with Eames as well, even if the man is brilliant. Fucking subconscious tigers are just one of many things that Arthur doesn’t need to deal with.
The tiger sets his paw down and stares at Arthur. Just stares. Which is good, because all Arthur is able to do is stare back. He’s not scared of much, certainly not pain, and not even death - not in a dream, anyway. But being mauled? Yes, that apparently still has the capacity to terrify him.
The tiger cocks his head, and says, “Hmm. Interesting.” His voice is low, comfortable, entirely self-satisfied, and slightly colored by an unplaceable accent.
Arthur blinks. Because, you know, it’s a talking tiger. Arthur is as inured to weird shit as he is to dream-pain, but talking cats are a new one for him.
