Heartfelt Inception rec

My Lungs Are Fresh and Yours to Keep by black_betty_26

I am ASTOUNDED by this story. It's a Band AU, with Arthur/Eames as its primary pairing. You all know how excessively fond I am of AUs, but seriously, this one, my love cannot be contained by mere words. It's been ages since I've read any Inception fics -- I haven't even read weatherfront's latest, even though she is one of the few authors who are permanent staples on my To Read list, no matter what she writes (I plan to remedy this in the next ten minutes). But this story sucked me in from the very start, and I was hooked.

The writer is a master storyteller, and the characterisation, the descriptions, the plot, the story, all of it is exceptional. I particularly loved the characterisation; Eames in particular is a thing of beauty in this. The back stories, the inventive way the author told this story, the writing style -- it is a joy to read.

I don't think I could express how much I enjoyed this story, except by happy faces and sprited jazz hands. I was hanging on the edge of my seat throughout.

I am about to say something rather blasphemous. >.>;; But here's the thing; if all Team Angst stories in the ae_match are like this one, we are doomed.
