Author's Summary:
He looks to Arthur, who’s already looking at him, who looks like he’s been looking at him for a long time. He looks tired. Like maybe he’s been looking too long.

Review:
This fic is straight up post-Inception--to the point where Eames is standing in the airport next to the baggage carousel. He and Arthur aren't exactly exhilarated after the events of the movie, and Eames proposes that Arthur pick a destination. This fic takes that trip suggestion and turns it into several trips, where Arthur and Eames go around the world on a sort of vacation with one another.

It's a great little fic. There are brief conversations between Eames and Cobb or Ariadne that are truly amusing. Neither one of them know where Arthur and Eames have gone to and both Arthur and Eames are disinclined to tell them. It's mostly Eames and Arthur falling in love in snippets, brief flashes of time that show different countries and scenarios, with a backdrop of dream sharing.

It's lovely and understated (I have a thing for understatement, go figure). The almost quiet way they fall in love is contrasted with a sharp scene from the dream sharing side of it. This was very enjoyable to read, and Eames's voice is really well done.
