This song is meta-tastic for me! So, not that you have *one* Arthur and Eames, that is the whole point of your Arthur and Eames that they cannot be pinned down to just one thing, but:

ESPECIALLY because of this fic and It's Automatic, whenever I think of what might in a vague way be termed "your" Arthur and Eames, I always think of this song by the Noisettes:



Not the least because it contains the line, "you left your keys under my bed, left a thumpin' in my head."

This fic is sublime and so are you, dearest person-i-shall-never-refer-to-as-Ifrit

left a thumpin' in my head

left a thumpin' in my head

left a thumpin' in my head

I think I just cried a little bit. ;___; Oh my god now it's not just THE NOISETTES ♥ ISN'T MUTABILITY A WONDERFUL THING ♥ ------ now it's like, a;lkdjfnl;ajfjk; I'm like physically hurting a little bit inside because now not only is it about mutability, it's about transience, why did you have to bring that aspect of it into this ;______; WHY DO THINGS HAVE TO END

well, it is such JOY in the transience, and it is this understanding that it is always, always plural. because i'm not who i was in september, or who i was when i was 26 (and really this song is so fitting for "it's automatic," THAT FIC, IT JUST. SDFKLASD;F;KLAS. MY HEART.), but, the song says, neither are you. And especially with The Greedyhearts, there's this sense that we love it and we leave it and we watch it burn, because it's not, ultimately, the plunder that ever mattered to begin with. It's that WESTEALTHINGS TOGETHER. <3

BUT MAYBE WE USED TO STEAL BETTER THINGS WITH MORE PANACHE-- well, that's not really true, is it... nor is that the part that should matter. PERHAPS I NEED TO LEARN TO ACCEPT WABI-SABI BETTER, AND WE WILL BE NOOBS AGAIN IN SOME OTHER FANDOM AT SOME POINT IN TIME

Which is to say, I belong to those unfortunate people who somehow found that website before the fic and went all "????????" blank for a while.
