Ok, so first of all, thank you so much for filling my prompt. It's the first time it's happened and I really appreciate it.

As for the fic, I enjoyed it very much and I'm looking forward to reading more (hopefully soon!). I was hoping for something angsty and morally ambiguous when it comes to Eames and his motivations, and I certainly wasn't disappointed. I also liked that you chose to tell the story from Arthur's POV, it makes me really feel for him.

Thanks again! I'm glad I saw this before going to bed!

...but I got your message, however lj won't let me reply to you! It insists that your message options aren't set to receive replies, which is a bit of a pain since I wanted to write to you about t_d :( I don't suppose you might be able to alter them, just for a bit? It would be really helpful :D Unless you'd like me to reply here, if that's better for you? Let me know.
If you want to change them I think if you go to Profile, then use the drop down to go to Edit Profile, scroll down the page and there's a heading for contact info. The third option is LJ user messaging, and you can set it to four levels (Registered Users, Friends Only, Mutual Friends Only and Nobody.)Registered users should do the trick. Thanks again (and feel free to delete this, with my apologies.)

This was a very interesting start, I enjoyed the atmosphere in the opening and the repetition that was partially there for the purposes of your style (I assume?) and partially to describe Arthur's state of mind (which worked really well for me). Also I liked the whole feeling of grittiness and hopelessness especially in these lines:

Four days, no sleep, and he can still feel congealed blood in his hair. It’s a catch-22. There’s no shower until there’s a client, but there’s definitely no client until there’s a shower.

Arthur turns around, disbelieving. Not another pervert, he thinks. Not another sick fuck who just wants bruises.

Eames' portrayal was great, he comes off both as someone warm with vague promises of something better and as cold and no nonsense kind of guy.

Ooh tantalizing. I like your Eames, who seems pragmatic and a bit distant, but still has that edge. He's like an unopened present.
