jasmassonRec: Inception: We can do this until we pass out by delires
Fandom: Inception
Pairings/Characters: Arthur/Eames
Rating: Explicit
Length: 28,478 words (series 49,299)
Creator Links: Delires at AO3
Theme: AU, Class issues
Summary:
Disturbing London, baby, we about to branch out. (The one where Eames is a chav)
Reccer’s Notes: An AU where canonical Arthur and Dom meet chav!Eames in London pre-canon. Arthur has a one night stand with Eames, which against his better judgement develops into something else. This is a wonderful fic, sexy, funny, clever, and while changing a few fundamentals still keeps them in character and the plot leading up to inception perfectly believable. The Arthur/Eames fandom burned hot but short, but during that time there were great authors in the fandom and some brilliant fics. This is one of them.

Rating: Explicit
Length: 45,684 words

Theme: AU, High school AU, fake dating
Summary:
“So," Eames says slowly, leaning back against the school wall as he idly taps his cigarette. "We've got a problem here."
or, The Fake Boyfriend High School AU
Reccer’s Notes: The clash between Eames and Arthur’s personalities is one of the reasons why this fandom worked so well, and therefore the High School AU is perfect for this fandom because of the varied cliques in High School. The staple in this fandom of Arthur’s reluctance is delightfully done here.

Rec: Inception: Pants on Fire by Helenish
Fandom:I Inception
Pairings/Characters: Arthur/Eames
Rating: Explicit
Length: 15,169 words
Creator Links: Helenish at AO3
Theme: Amnesia, trope inversion
Summary:
“Ah," Yusuf says, lifting a reproving hand, "are we calling less than 24 hours of memory loss amnesia now?"
Reccer’s Notes: An absolute classic in this fandom. Arthur experiences memory loss coming out of a dream and forgets the past few years. He has to piece together his life, and some of his conclusions are right, and some… are not. To say too much would be spoilery, but I cannot recommend this highly enough.

Rec: Inception: I bet Nureyev never had to deal with this shit by cobweb_diamond
Fandom: Inception
Pairings/Characters: Arthur/Eames
Rating: Teen
Length: 21,409 words
Creator Links: cobweb_diamond at AO3
Theme: AU, ballet
Summary:
Modern-day AU. Arthur is a ballet dancer recovering from a serious injury, and is lucky enough to land the role of Oberon in Dom Cobb's reimagining of A Midsummer Night's Dream.
Reccer’s Notes: A lovely AU with Arthur, Eames and Mal are dancers in Dom’s ballet production. Their developing relationship is a delight.

Fandom: Inception
Pairings/Characters: Arthur/Eames
Rating: NC17
Length: 10,000-15,000 words
Creator Links: Mirabella fic at dreamwidth
Theme: First meet, first time
Summary:
Five levels down, and five to dig yourself back out. Arthur met Eames' projection long before he met Eames.
Reccer’s Notes: Arthur meets Eames in stages. The A/E fic I sought out to reread coming back to fandom after 10 years. An all-time favorite.
