I’ve accidentally fallen head first back into Inception fandom and it makes me so happy that there’s still new fic being written!

#Armes forever!

If you're writing anything involving cons, scams, heists, or morally questionable characters who are very good at lying, here are some free resources I've been using for research. Saving you the "why is this in my search history" anxiety.

1. The FBI's Famous Cases & Criminals archive (fbi.gov/history/famous-cases) has detailed breakdowns of real fraud cases, Ponzi schemes, and confidence operations. The language they use is clinical and precise, which is perfect for getting the procedural details right.

2. The FTC Consumer Sentinel Network publishes annual reports on the most common fraud tactics in the US. Great for understanding how modern scams actually work and what makes people fall for them.

3. The Smithsonian's American Art Museum has a free digital collection of forgery case studies. If your character forges documents or art, this is gold.

4. Court Listener (courtlistener.com) is a free legal database where you can read actual court transcripts from fraud trials. Want to know how a real con artist talks under oath? This is where you find out.

5. The Internet Archive's collection of old newspaper crime sections. Search for "confidence man" or "swindle" in papers from the 1920s through 1960s and you'll find incredible real stories that would feel too dramatic for fiction.

Bonus: The Psychology of Fraud section on the Association for Psychological Science website has accessible articles about why people trust, how deception works cognitively, and what makes someone a convincing liar. Essential reading if you want your con artist characters to feel psychologically real.

Reblog to save for later. Your WIP will thank you.

always forget how much eames and arthur literally carry the fischer job on their backs. killing dozens of men in impossible conditions while yusuf Drives a Normal Van and cobb and ariadne Have a Loud Conversation. saito innocent he got shot in the damn chest. everyone else ASLEEP on the job. WAKE UP!

[andthepeople]

eames is james bonding it down a fucking mountain. getting avalanched. ripping men off snowmobiles. arthur's doing fucking judo holds in zero gravity. throwing men off paradox steps. shooting guys on the damn ceiling. and doing MATH on top of it all!!! meanwhile cobb is just Yelling Exposition while ariadne Asks Questions. i'd like to negotiate the fact that everyone's getting an equal share here. i'm contacting the fucking union

[andthepeople]

i know eames was sitting in arthur's alarmingly minimalist LA penthouse that night absolutely demolishing a $3,000 bottle of scotch telling arthur i'm sorry darling i know you've got an unaccountable soft spot but i'm never working with that layabout cunt again. he insists somehow he's sore from all that tumbling down a mountain even though it wasn't real. if he ever hears ariadne urgently yell EAMES!! over a comm like there's no one else on the bloody job he won't be legally responsible for his actions. arthur meanwhile spent so long in zero g he keeps falling down stairs. it's not because he drank half the $3,000 bottle. it's not. shut up, mr. eames. you've never had a hallway decide to turn into a fucking washing machine. you've never had to float in a goddamn elevator shaft. and eames is like mmm i'll float in your elevator shaft, darling, which makes no sense but it works on arthur anyways. he's easy except when he decides to be difficult. but i digress

fandom: inception

pairing: arthur/eames

tags: established relationship, crack treated seriously, humor, married couple, fake character death, undercover at your own funeral

summary:

“How did you know him?” a hipster in his twenties asks Arthur as they stand by the grave. Arthur, sleep-deprived and uncomfortably hot in the Californian weather, barely glances at him. At the last funeral, he said he was Eames’s old business partner. Before that, he claimed to be a friend from college. Both relationships sounded so practical Eames has lamented about it several times since. * By the third time, Eames's fake funerals have lost their charm.

hello. saw the funeral prompt at @gywo build-a-bingo. thought of several angsty scenarios. ended up writing something rather unserious <3

What’s your favourite arthur/eames moment?

Hey Nonnie,

Ngl, this is a tough question. I honestly love every interaction we get of these two.

I think if I had to pick, it would be the scene in the hotel where Arthur helps Eames with his IV. Others have pointed out that Arthur did not need to do this. If he really wanted to someone with this, the more logical options would be Ariadne or Saito, the ones who are the least experienced of the group. But Arthur chose to help Eames instead. Chose to kneel next to him, touch him and have a moment with him before they separate.

"Security's gonna run you down hard." "And I will lead them on a merry chase." "Just be back before the kick." "Go to sleep, Mr Eames."

There's so much going on in this exchange. Eames being concerned about Arthur facing the projections all alone, Arthur reassuring him with a joking tone, the way they smile at each other (Arthur's dimples!). They're so soft with each other in this moment and I'm obsessed. Also I have questions about the way Arthur says 'Mr Eames'.

Tbh it was really close between that and the scene in the taxi after they were attacked by Fischer's projections. The "Are you alright?!" "Yeah, I'm okay, I'm okay." This moment stands out to me because Arthur is a very unflappable character. Dreams collapsing, projections attacking, Cobb yelling at him - whatever happens he remains relatively calm. He might be visibly annoyed, but he never raises his voice. The one time in the movie where he loses his shit is when he thinks Eames might be hurt. He screams his concern at Eames, even though they didn't know about the sedation yet, so as far they knew getting killed just meant waking kill. Yet Arthur still reacted like that. He didn't check on Fischer or Saito, just Eames.

They care about each other so much and I'm so normal about them.

Each fandom canon has its own unique challenges when writing fic and Inception requires extensive googling of various countries' law enforcement agencies to be accurate about who specifically is trying to arrest our boys now

[andthepeople]

telepathy but the distinct sort of telepathy displayed by men in action movies who have worked together and made it through dangerous situations before.........this is about the beat in inception where arthur backs the taxi into that projection and says "eames" and eames pops up and shoots the guy, no question, knew what arthur meant, 100% trusted that the coast would be clear.............unrelated but these two carried that heist on their fucking backs !!!

[podcastwizard]

some royal jewels were stolen from the louvre which is unfortunate for historical reasons but you gotta appreciate a classic crime. so many crimes are online these days it’s nice to see heist culture is still alive
