Laying Claim (R) - posted June 2011
“Arthur, you've rung me at 2:30 in the bloody morning from Soho where you appear to be on a street corner and shirtless, possibly drugged. I've no doubt you're capable of handling yourself under normal circumstances, but drunken blokes aren't always the most understanding sort, especially when you're not actually selling what you look like you're selling.”

The Origins 'verse Series (Military Backstory) - Arthur/Eames unless otherwise noted - updated September 2011

Exploring Arthur and Eames' backstory in the military where they each lead an elite unit in the dream-sharing trials. The Powers That Be would prefer to keep the participants in the dark, but Arthur and Eames find each other, fall in love, and change dream-sharing forever.

In reading order:

Origin Stories (PG-13)
The story of how Eames and Arthur meet is one of the great legends of the dream-sharing profession.

In it, there's a dark alley, a foreign country, a bar, a punch in the face, a loaded die, a poker chip, a three-piece suit, and a kiss. Not necessarily in that order. And not necessarily all the time.

Finders Keepers (NC-17)
From the beginning of their relationship, Eames has always been the one to find Arthur. A story in which Arthur is kidnapped, Eames is a hopeless romantic, the past informs the present, and true love conquers all.  Also Moose and Squirrel.

Training Days (PG-13)
Training days in the dream-sharing program are not without incident. Sometimes it seems like it's one damn thing after another.

A Strong Heart and a Nerve of Steel (NC-17)
Recovery is a slow process, but a road trip to Las Vegas can solve a lot of problems. Almost as many as it causes.

At least two more stories to follow-up, but each of the above is complete in and of itself.
