Work Text:

Your name is Arthur. You are a point man -- the best in the business. Today, in preparation for the Gallico job, you have been refining the dreamspace with Eames. It was ... interesting. Yusuf asked you to test out a new blend of somnacin that's cut with a ground-breaking tryptamine. You agreed to be the subject, with Eames as control: it'd be pretty cool if all your senses could be turned up to 11.

However, doubtless as a side-effect of Yusuf's new formula, you've just woken up with something you're pretty sure you didn't have in the dream.

Many many thanks to anon1, who's providing temporary web space for the fic, and anon2, who aided and abetted cheerled, encouraged and giggled when I was wondering if this was actually cool or the saddest thing ever. And to both anons for beta, bug reports and general enthusiasm.
