Hey everyone! This is it! This is the final chapter! And let me tell you, this one is fluff galore because let's face it, it is the end, so it has to be happy and all that.

And I have discovered that I like writing weddings, because there always seems to be a wedding in my stories. But, whatever.

Hope you all enjoy this! =)


Epilogue: Happily Ever After

Arthur walked through the office with a smile on his face, occasionally nodding and smiling at people as he walked by them. It had been a month since Eames had broken the curse and set everything back to the way it had been. Ever since then, Arthur had been in the best of moods.

Arthur had talked with Saito and set everything straight and started working again a week later. Eames had wanted him to take a longer break, to get back in the swing of things and being in the public, but Arthur had actually missed working. Sure he had done most of it from home this past year, but he missed being in the office.

He missed seeing people. He may not have talked to any of them before, but that didn't mean he missed seeing people and being around civilization in general. Being stuck in your house for a year can really put things in perspective for you.

As for Gabriella, Arthur pressed charges against her and had her arrested. He was going to just threaten her to leave town and never come back, but, he kind of liked the idea of seeing her in jail so he went with that instead. Her case was still in the courts at the moment, but Arthur wasn't really paying much attention to it anymore. He had gone in and done his testimony, as did Eames. Since then, both he and Eames wanted nothing else to do with the case.

Yusuf on the other hand went to the courts every time there was a hearing. He was probably the most upset. He hated that someone had somehow gotten into his lab and messed with his things. So he kept them updated on what was going on.

Arthur made his way into the Human Resources Department. Alexandra, the woman in charge, smiled up at him from her desk.

"Why hello Arthur." It was nice having people actually smile at him now. Before they wouldn't really do anything. But he knew they had talked about him once he left. But now, the office environment was different.

Maybe they all felt bad for him since he had been cursed and then almost killed by one of the other employees.

"Hello Alexandra." He handed her the papers he had brought over from Saito. Most of them concerned Gabriella's job termination and her replacement. Saito was having some issues with getting someone good enough to replace her.

"So, tomorrow is the big day." Arthur looked over at her and smiled.

"Yes it is."

"How is she doing?" Arthur had completely forgotten that the whole city knew about the upcoming wedding between Robert and Ariadne. Everyone always knew everything about Robert Fischer, so now, Ariadne was just as famous.

"She is nervous. But she is happy." Arthur was thrilled that the wedding was finally here, mostly because he wouldn't have to hear about it anymore. Of course, since Ariadne had moved out, he didn't hear as much about it as before. There were some days she would call him and talk about the wedding, but mostly she called to check up on how he was doing.

Dom had also moved out. He had talked to Arthur about getting a house for him and the kids. Arthur didn't really care one way or the other. He would support his decision no matter what. But Dom had told him that he talked to Mal the day that the spell was broken. Arthur believed that seeing her again really put things into perspective for him. Like it was a sign that he needed to move on and become his own man again or something like that.

"Do you have a hot date?" She asked with a smirk. Arthur laughed. Not everyone at the office knew that he and Eames were dating. Yusuf of course knew about them. Saito also knew. Arthur had told him and assured him that nothing would change between them concerning their work.

But no one else in the office really knew.

"Of course. My date will be the hottest one there." Alexandra laughed.

"Well, enjoy yourself Arthur." Arthur just laughed as he made his way out of the office. He looked over and spotted the Advertising Department. He might as well go there, since it was on his way. And he had nothing real important to do back at his office anyways.

Eames was in the process of moving into Arthur's house. Eames had thought at first that Arthur could move into his apartment. It was smaller and would be enough for just the two of them. Eames assured Arthur they didn't need that castle of a house.

Arthur had considered it, but he couldn't just sell the house. Arthur may not be very fond of his family, but he couldn't just sell the house to some random person. So in the end, Eames decided to move in with him.

Things between them were going wonderful. Arthur hadn't expected things to go this well.

They had their bad days, usually when Arthur's past relationships came into the picture. Arthur never wanted to talk about it, but Eames always wanted to know. Of course, Eames wasn't that innocent either. Eames had gambling debts up to the sky and had even more enemies than Arthur could count. It was unbelievable.

But they worked it all out in the end.

Moving Eames in was quite an adventure in itself. Eames owned so many ugly stuff that Arthur had no idea what to do with it. Right now it was all stored away in one of the guest rooms. Arthur really hoped that Eames would forget about it and it would stay there.

There was one thing that they agreed on though. They kept their work and their personal life separate, meaning that Arthur could tear apart Eames' project idea and still get some that night. Some days were better than others, but in end, Arthur knew that Eames loved him and that he loved Eames as well.

Arthur strolled in and smiled when he saw that Eames' secretary was out for lunch. She knew about their relationship as well. She had caught them making out during their lunch break one day. That was quite an interesting day. But Eames had assured him that she wouldn't do anything or spread the word.

Arthur saw that Eames had his office door open. He walked up and leaned against the doorway, crossing him arms. Eames was sitting on the floor going through a pile of papers with hundreds of papers around him on the floor.

"Well, this place is a mess." Arthur let out a small chuckle as he glanced around the room. Eames let out a small laugh before looking up at Arthur.

"Well, a certain someone did just rip my new project to shreds."

"Only because I know that you can do so much better than that piece of shit you handed in." Eames let out a small sigh.

"I know." Eames ran a hand over his face. "I may be a bit late coming home tonight. I need to get this all together for Monday." Arthur just smiled before walking over to him. He bent over and took Eames' chin in hand.

"Just don't stay too long. I have a surprise for you." He then leaned forward and pressed a short kiss to his lips before straightening back up. "Good luck Mr. Eames." Arthur turned and walked out of Eames' office, ignoring Eames giving him the finger.


Arthur sat at home on his laptop, reading through his emails. It was almost eight and Eames still wasn't home yet. Arthur almost regretted making Eames redo his project. Almost.

He was just so bored right now. It sucked being alone in the house now. Before he could usually hear the kids running around or anything like that, but now it was just silence.

He heard the front door open and smiled. Finally. He closed his laptop and smiled when Eames walked into the room.

"Have a good night?" Arthur asked.

"Oh, don't you know it." Eames asked as he knelt down on the floor and crawled over to where Arthur was sitting. Arthur just smiled as he opened his legs for Eames to slide through. Eames just smirked as he slinked his way up so that he was face to face with Arthur. Arthur just laughed.

"You are weird." Eames just smiled and leaned forward to kiss him but turned his head at the last minute. Arthur let out a little whine. "What…"

"Are you drinking from my cup?" Arthur's mouth dropped open. Really?

"Are you serious?" Eames turned and gave him a look. He was being serious. Eames was very protective of his cup now. He actually hid it in the cupboard. Of course, Arthur knew where it was which is why he had it now. "There were no more clean cups!"

"Arthur, you have like hundreds of cups."

"Yeah, well, Dom and Ariadne took a bunch of them when they moved out. So I don't have hundreds anymore. Yours was the only clean one." Eames just stared at him and Arthur was a bit unsure if he was really upset with him or if he was joking.

Arthur really hoped he was joking.

"Alright, I guess I can forgive you." Eames then pulled him in for a kiss. Arthur laughed into the kiss before slowly pulling away.

"I have a surprise for you."

"Do you? Does my surprise start with the letter C?" Arthur pushed him back so that he fell back on the floor.

"Don't be crude. That is for later and really, that isn't much of a surprise when you get that all the time anyways."

"Well, I don't know, maybe tonight would have been something special." Arthur pulled himself up.

"Come on."

Arthur walked into their bedroom and went straight to the closet. Eames walked in and sat on the bed. Arthur was a bit nervous about this. He loved Eames for who he was and all that. But sometimes he thought that Eames got dressed in the dark.

So he had decided to buy Eames a nice suit for Ariadne's wedding. He thought it would be a nice gift to give him. He just hoped that Eames appreciated it. He grabbed the hanger it was on and pulled it out.

"You got me clothes?" Eames questioned, smiling up at him.

"Not just clothes. A suit." Arthur walked over and set it down on the bed. "For Ariadne's wedding. I thought you would like it." Arthur smiled at him, hoping it would convey his feelings about all of this.

"You don't like my clothes?" Eames asked. Arthur let out a small sigh.

"I love your clothes, Eames. You know that. I would just like you to wear this tomorrow."

"Why?" Eames leaned over and ran his fingers over the suit. The suit was a charcoal color, very simple; he knew how much Eames liked dressing in simple clothes and not standing out too much. Arthur had even found a nice red paisley tie to match his plain red one that he was going to wear. So all in all, there would still be something of Eames in the outfit.

"Because I would like you to wear it. I am trying to do something nice for you. I really liked this suit and thought it would look nice on you. Is it really too much to ask?" Eames just looked at the suit in silence. "Your tie will even match mine a bit. I thought it was a nice touch."

"Alright. I just, I thought this was a subtle attempt to try and change me or something."

"No. Why on would I want to change you? You loved me when I looked like a monster, alright?" Eames just laughed.

"I know, just, you know." Arthur just looked at him. "I will wear it."

"Good." Arthur smiled and pushed Eames back on the bed before crawling on top of him.


Arthur smiled as Eames stood in front of the cracked mirror, trying to fix his tie. He looked good. The suit looked amazing on him, just like he knew it would.

"You really need to get this thing replaced." Eames grunted out, giving up on his tie. Arthur just walked up to him and turned him around.

"I like this mirror. I have had it since I was a teenager and I don't want to throw it out. Besides, it has character."

"Character?" Arthur grabbed his tie and tied it in seconds. Eames just glared at him.

"Yes. Besides, this is also a reminder of what happened to me so that I don't revert to my old self."

"Well, if you do anything like that to me I won't hesitate to kill you." Arthur just smiled and leaned down and pressed a quick kiss to Eames' lips before walking away.

"Come on, we don't want to be late."

Ariadne had called him 15 minutes ago crying because some of the sequins on her dress had fallen off and her hair wasn't curling the way she wanted it to and that her make-up was a mess, the list went on and on. Arthur had to assure her that he would be there as soon as possible so he could make her feel better. He knew Dom had to be there but Dom was not the comforting type. He would only make things worse.

When they arrived at the vineyard that Ariadne had picked out as the venue for the wedding, Arthur gave Eames one last kiss before going off to search for Ariadne. Eames was sent to get them a good seat and to find Dom. Arthur knew Dom was probably already there.

Arthur walked into a small room that Ariadne had instructed him to come to. It was a good thing she did give him directions because this vineyard was like a maze. People were going to be getting lost, he just knew it.

Ariadne was standing in front of the mirror and Arthur could tell that she was crying. Her hair was down and curled. She had gone with a simple white dress that was floor length. It suited her very well and made her look like a princess.

"Arthur!" She shouted as she spotted him in the mirror. She turned around and ran towards him, pulling him into a hug. He smiled and hugged her back tightly.

"You look beautiful." He said as he pulled away. He reached up and wiped away her tears.

"Nothing is going right." He smiled. "Everything that could have gone wrong has."

"I believe they say if everything goes wrong on the wedding day your marriage will last forever."

"Well, if that is true, then it sucks."

"Ariadne, you are marrying the man of your dreams today. Be happy!" She smiled and reached up and cupped his face.

"I am so happy that you are here today. I don't know what I would have done if you weren't."

"Me too." He leaned down and pressed a kiss to her forehead. "I love you Ariadne and today is your day, alright? So own it and make everyone out wish that they were in your shoes with all the happiness that you will be radiating off." She smiled up at him.

"Alright."

"Get cleaned up. I have to go back to Eames." Arthur gave her one last smile before leaving the room and heading towards the small banquet hall that the wedding was taking place at.

He found Eames sitting near the front with Dom and Philippa and James. Eames turned and smiled. Arthur smiled back and walked over.

"Arthur." Arthur nodded as he sat down.

"Hey." He glanced around at all the decorations. It was exactly what he imagined for when Ariadne got married. It was perfect and beautiful.

He felt something on his hand. He looked down and saw that Eames had placed his hand over his. Arthur looked up at him and smiled and waited for the ceremony to start.


Arthur stood at the bar talking with Ariadne's mother, Audrey. It had been forever since he had seen her let alone spoke with her. She had heard about his curse from Ariadne and was just gushing about how happy she was that he found someone and was happy.

He always loved Audrey. She was almost like a second mother to him. She didn't judge him for his bad habits and treated him like the son she never had.

Arthur glanced out onto the dance floor and saw that Ariadne and Robert were chatting away with some of the guests. Dom was sitting at a table teaching James how to make something origami related. Arthur couldn't tell from this distance.

And then there was Eames. He was out on the dance floor with Philippa, dancing away like a total goof ball. He was just swinging her around and she was just laughing and Eames was smiling and Arthur had never felt so much in love with him than he did right then.

The song ended and a slow song came on. Arthur looked away as all the couples started approaching the dance floor.

"Excuse me, Audrey." Arthur turned and saw Eames standing right next to him. "I was wondering if I could steal Arthur away for a quick dance." Audrey just smiled and nodded before walking off. Eames grabbed Arthur by the hand and pulled him towards the dance floor.

"Are you sure about this?"

"I owe you a dance, I do believe, and what a better time to cash in than now." Arthur just smiled as he followed behind Eames. Once they hit the dance floor Eames pulled him close and placed one hand on his hip while gripping the other one tightly. Arthur just smiled as they slowly moved to the beat of the song.

"I love you." Arthur whispered, moving so that they were now dancing cheek to cheek.

"I love you too."

"I really don't know what I would do if I had never met you."

"Well, we wouldn't be here, for one thing."

"That is another reason why I keep the mirror, Eames. The curse brought you to me. I would be dead right now if it wasn't for you. And even if I hadn't been cursed in the first place, we wouldn't be here together. I would have never have gotten the courage to approach you. And even if I did, back then I only really only wanted to sleep with you because I didn't know you." Eames pulled away.

"Well then, I guess the mirror can stay." Arthur just smiled.

"Good." Eames pulled him back and Arthur just closed his eyes, resting his cheek against Eames' as he let him the lead the dance.

He knew then that everything was going to be alright. Arthur got his happy ending with the man of his dreams and he was not going to mess this one up.


Whelp, that is it. I really hope you all liked it. I want to thank all of you for reading this and sticking with me throughout it all. I really really appreciate all the kind things you have said about this story. I loved writing it and everything. So again, thank you! =)
