Is it too late to say that I love your usual formula (beat up Arthur, put Eames in danger, broken!BAMF!Arthur to the rescue) to death? LOVE. LOVE LOVE LOVE. Do not abandon. Please? *puppy eyes*
You can always break them both. :D This drug or whatever it is disturbs me greatly, but in a very good way. MORE.
(This is what your work does to me: all-caps monosyllables. <3 )
Ideas:
- French (in my head-canon, at least) is not the only other language Arthur speaks. Why did it come out first? Why, if it's the only foreign language affected by whatever is doing this, aren't the others surfacing? Use your imagination, but I think it's a link between Dinclusin and Mal.
- Dromalius keeps a pet snake. How this comes out when she's on a train far from home is up to you. Perhaps a shed skin, kept somewhere in her luggage, to frighten the unwary trespasser?
- I don't like it when things turn out to be genuinely supernatural, but I love subtle intricate gambits disguised as magic. (Loved how they did it in the 2009 Sherlock Holmes movie.) There's a LOT of potential for that here. Run with it.
- Re: the above: "Dinclusin" and "Dromalius" are carefully selected aliases, calculated to unsettle as much as to obscure. Still, if Arthur were to find out their real names, he would definitely remember them -- and neither he nor they will like what he remembers.
- Someone should wake up with at least one IV that they don't remember placing.
