Relationship: Arthur/Eames
Tags: Medically graphic descriptions of trauma
Summary: Arthur is buried alive. Eames is looking for him.
Now this one’s something, alright. Just a short one-shot, but the kind of story that makes you wish it were longer. It’s almost disturbingly descriptive and I always appreciate that. Fair amount of warning though - Arthur is BURIED ALIVE in this story, with all the accompanying physical and emotional trauma that entails. It’s portrayed very accurately (or what I assume, having never been buried alive myself, is accurate), and the tension is to die for.
There are actually two stories based on the ‘Arthur gets buried alive’ prompt. This one is the better of the two, though the other one is also amazing. I might rec it also in the future.
