Thank you for reading a twenty-five page story about a rarepair. The fact that it worked for you is an awesome bonus. ♥

asdjagkh You always leave the best feedback. It feels like you took away exactly what I was trying to put out there. I'm, like, buzzing. Thank you. ♥♥♥

Ahahaha, dude, I wasn't much of a flag-waver myself, to be honest. As I was going through the art for the reverse bang to find out what sticks, I realized that I kind of ship Eames with everyone. It's just Arthur who isn't allowed to be with anyone else. ;)

Haha that's the thing about this ridiculous fandom, though! Different writers have forced me to see potential in all the characters, so I understand the appeal of preeeetty much every pairing. (Lol even Nash/Saito. I think that reverse bang's been posted already. I need to check that out.) Arthur/Mal would be insanely sad, and I'm admittedly a mush at heart, so I'm definitely more into romances that aren't doomed from the start. Haha I like Arthur/Cobb in an intellectual sense. I certainly ship their bromance. But inside, I can't help being like, "Why would Arthur choose Cobb when he could have EAMES?" It keeps me from getting engaged in the story, and I'm someone who really likes Cobb! A/A I think could be very cool. Someone with her combination of emotional IQ and naivete would be really good for him. I just haven't read much of it

Bb, your writing is so beautiful! Everything just flows from scene to scene. I love the layers of their relationship, the subtlety, the tension. This is wonderful.

The art is gorgeous, too. <3

Oh, I'm so glad you liked it! Thank you, dearest. ♥

Isn't woobie the best? I died every time she sent me something new.

If he were to change any of those things, she wouldn't know what to do with herself.

Guh. Killed me dead. This is lovely, very quiet and deep, and you manage to convey so much more than what you've put into words, if that makes sense. You also did a fantastic job of complimenting the art--these are exactly the words i would expect to go with the images. Beautifully done, bb. <3

I was still half on the fence about that line, so it's lovely to hear that it worked for you. Thanks so much for reading, k8. I'm so glad you enjoyed it. ♥

Gosh, I enjoyed this so much, the slow build of their relationship, Eames the boxer (!!!!), and I'm so happy at the thought of them riding off into the sunset together to pursue a life of dubious activities!

Oh, wonderful. :D Thank you for the lovely comment.
