Summary:What if Eames had been a shapeshifter the whole time?

Excerpt:"I will explain if you promise not to shoot yourself while I get dressed. I'd love to have my toes at the end of this little adventure of ours," Eamse said, just as exasperated as ever with Arthur. Which was unfair because Arthur was clearly right. They were in a dream, they had to be.

Summary:Everyone makes it out of inception and limbo with their minds intact; everyone except Cobb who never wakes up on the plane. This leaves Phillipa and James in the custody of their grandparents who will be taking them back to Paris, but Arthur can't let them go without him. And he needs Eames to make that happen.

Excerpt:"You'd marry me for immigration purposes?" Arthur asked, his face twisted into incredulity. He didn't trust Eames, so ultimately he couldn't trust the offer. After everything they'd been through together it wasn't all that surprising, Eames didn't trust him either. But he could marry him, he could put aside his feelings to give the kids the best shot at life because no matter how Eames and Arthur felt about each other the kids would always come firs

Summary:Arthur and Eames have a Valentines Day Tradition.

Excerpt:One thing that stayed the same was Eames and all the traditions that came with working with someone for the better part of a decade. One such tradition was the exchange of Valentine's day cards. They were always jokes that teased and pushed each other's buttons. This year happened to be the first year they had been working together on Valentine's day since Arthur's stupid confession and he had spent four hours searching for just the right card to make a joke out of himself. No big deal.
