Word Count: ~ 22,000
Rating: NC-17
Notes: Based on Haruki Murakami's Hard-boiled Wonderland and the End of the World.
Characters/Pairings: Arthur/Eames, appearances by Dom Cobb, Mal Cobb, Ariadne, Yusuf, Saito, and OCs
Summary: After the Fischer job, Saito keeps most of the team under his employ should he ever have need of their services again. One of those times arrives and Arthur takes the lead on their second inception job - it ought to be simple and straight forward. However, things are rarely ever so simple when Eames is involved. Arthur has to deal with the past, and his own fears for the future, all while making sure the job goes smoothly, but Eames doesn't make things easy on him - no matter how much Arthur wishes he would.
This is the story of Arthur and the many times he wanted to kill Eames, a librarian and the historian who becomes infatuated with him, Rio, and town histories that make no sense, and Mal.
A/N: Written for the
inception_bang.
So I've had it in my mind to write a fic that tied into the plot of my favorite book since I first started exploring the Inception Fandom. Hard-boiled Wonderland and the End of the World by Haruki Murakami, is by far the best book I have ever read, and if you haven't read it you best check yourself and get on that stat. But I thought the idea of the story, the sort of ground work for it was just the perfect setting for a fandom that deals primarily in the world created in the mind.
So it was with that in mind (heh) that I set to create this story. I'm not entirely sure how successful I was in the end, telling two stories and bringing them together in the end. However, I am very pleased with the way this turned out. And I hope you'll enjoy it! Most heartfelt thanks too for Bex for reading this over for me, apostrophes and commas will forever be my nemeses.
Also seriously go tell
