    Summary

    Eames is beginning to realize how greatly he underestimated Arthur, or perhaps overestimated Cobb. He used to think that Arthur was propping Cobb up – keeping him going, keeping him in line, keeping his head on as straight as he could. And he never realized how greatly Cobb was holding Arthur back, reining him in. And perhaps, all original evidence to the contrary, Arthur was the one who needed Cobb, rather than the other way around.

    disguise fair nature with hard-favoured rage by 1001cranes

    It works, in some weird way. The dichotomy of Arthur – feared Arthur, inception Arthur, six levels down Arthur. Military Arthur, crack-shot Arthur, executioner, avenging angel, Grim Reaper in a three-piece suit. Hell bent on revenge Arthur, like something out of a sci-fi noir.

    Then there is Arthur with Eames – needy Arthur, soft Arthur, forgiving Arthur. Human Arthur. Lost Arthur. Sleepy Arthur. There-are-no-monsters-in-that-closet Arthur. There are no Cobbs when they sleep together. There is no Cobol. No Nash. It’s like a dream – a reality untouched by reality, a place with its own rules, a different set of faces.

    And so Eames sleeps.
