Inception ficlet

It's past midnight and I haven't had enough sleep all week, so every second keystroke is a typo at this point. POSTING TIME. I apologise in advance for the inevitable errors.

This is for my beloved CLAIRZA for her stellar efforts in the field of keeping me coffee-fuelled <3 She asked for Arthur/Eames with banter, references to the past, and suits. I then stole some prompts from Aja and Del and added my own desire to muck around with established-relationship fic, and mixed it all together, and out came the self-indulgent beast you see below.

This is NOT, in fact, my Inception WIP. My WIP and I are having a stubbornness contest. It's winning.

oh fantastic

SURE, UNIVERSE, TAKE MY HEALTH, I WASN'T USING THAT FOR ANYTHING.

I have neither Strepsils nor the energy to walk to any place that might sell me Strepsils :( White tea and napping away my Friday afternoon it is, then.

With any luck I will be able to attend _leareth's election party tomorrow without feeling like I am choking on steel wool.

Oh, oh: I am frustrated at the number of times I have read absolutely everything in my pie.fic tag (you know, the stories you turn to when you are upset or feel like death warmed up) so I would like recs for fics that you read over and over and over again. For reasons of hilarity or delight or epic romance.
