Inception Fic Reading Group

I love the way that the realization of how they are fully part of each other's lives just SLAMS into Arthur, and how it circles back (both in the story and in Arthur's mind) to the earlier story. The first time it was the fact that Eames was living there that was amazing to Arthur; this time it's the fact that there's permanence that knocks him over. Of course he had to say something, it was say something or explode. And I love how the declaration isn't the end, that Eames sort of messes up the moment by slicing his hand open and that there's a whole exhausting trip to the emergency room and all that follows after it, because it's the messy everydayness of their lives together that stunned Arthur, so it needed to be messy everydayness to round out the story.
