title: in nobody’s eyes but mine (nobody ever had a dream around here)
author: imprintofadream
artist: gloriana
type: slash, gen, background het; academic!au
word count: ~24000
rating: m
characters/pairings: arthur/eames; mal/dom; mentions of ensemble
warnings: mentions of past abuse/stalking; mature language; non-explicit sexual situations and thoughts.
summary: Arthur lives with his step-sister Mal and teaches literature at university level, and Eames is a pioneer in the academic field of Dream Imagery. When Eames takes an interest in Arthur's dissertation and Arthur takes an interest in Eames, they each have opportunities which hadn't been available to them before. But Eames disappears after pushing Arthur down a new path in his research that--with assistance from fellow professor Dom Cobb--captivates him a little too fully, and when it's all said and done, Eames makes off with the credit for the research and Arthur aims to get even by using everything he's learned. And he means everything.

Artist: lick_j
Type: Crossover (RocknRolla), slash, minor het
Word Count: 27K
Rating: NC-17

Warnings Sexual content and dubcon, mention of RocknRolla canon character deaths, child abuse (RocknRolla canon), Drug use, Violence
Summary: ‘The permanent temptation of life is to confuse dreams with reality. The permanent defeat of life comes when dreams are surrendered to reality.’ ~ James Michener

When Archy believes Johnny is betraying him (like father like son), he doesn't waste any time employing a dream team to extract the truth. Even if Eames is no longer Handsome Bob, he never left his friends behind, not really. But even he's surprised when the new client turns out to be a man he swore he would never have any contact with again. Armed with his new job title of Extractor, Eames finds himself immersed back into the life he thought he was done with: The Wild Bunch. In the underbelly of London and its rats, the team (Eames, Arthur and Ariadne) struggle with reality…and what the hell is a RocknRolla anyway?

Title: Love Me Not (Where Eames Isn't Gay)
Author: shaemichelle
Artist: firefox1490
Type: Mostly gen, with slash
Word Count: 23k
Rating: 18A
Characters/Pairings: Arthur, Eames, Minor OCs, Cobb, Ariadne
Warnings Violence, homophobia, adult content.
Summary: Eames had to remind himself to calm down; one kiss—fuck, they'd kissed!—was not a reason for a big gay panic. He genuinely wasn't homophobic, but he was genuinely a having-a-gay-man-date-and-kiss-me-phobic. He was anti-personally-actually-being-in-a-same-sex-relationship, as he felt most firmly straight men were.
Arthur was frowning, brow tight, and Eames's forging eye didn't fall for his attempting, casual tone. This had hurt Arthur; Eames could see it in the set of his shoulders and the way he couldn't look at Eames for more than a moment.
"I'm so sorry," Eames said uselessly. Arthur have a shakily little nod, running his fingers through his fringe. "I'm not—it's not a problem," he rambled. "I just don't. I'm not gay."

Author: valinorean
Artist: mruczanka
Type: slash
Word Count: ~15k
Rating: PG-13
Characters/Pairings: Arthur/Eames, original characters
Warnings: none
Summary: Arthur is dead and someone needs to tell his family. Following a job that had gone terribly wrong, Eames heads to Arthur's childhood home to tell Arthur's family of his death when Cobb refused to do it. There, he finds solace with the people who loved Arthur as much as he did. Eames learns of Arthur's past, his life away from dreamshare, and, painfully enough, what might have been between them.
Author's Notes: This is my first time writing for Inception Big Bang (and only my second Inception fic) and I hope you all like it. BIG thank you to my betas kjp_013 and incandescent for all the help! Also to mruczanka for volunteering to pinch-hit art for my fic. Title is taken from a line in the song This is a firedoor never leave open by The Weakerthans. :)

Warnings: Strong language, sexual talk, extreme claustrophobia, near-drowning experience, cannon character death (not depicted)

Now they're treasure hunters looking for one big score to set them both for life. Enter Saito, who is in need of a team to locate a hundreds-year-old shipwreck and extract the goods from its innards. But they're going to need the help of Arthur's former rival, Eames, as well as gas chemist Yusuf and galley cook Ariadne, to pull this mission off with any success. Arthur is forced to confront a lot of misconceptions about Eames and to question his blind loyalty to Dom as they repeatedly find themselves in dangerous situations and are forced to learn to trust each other above all else.
