    Summary

    The theory of three meetings says you will meet your soulmate three times: when they mean nothing, when you’re not ready, and when, finally, your lives intertwine. The following explores those three periods in Arthur and Ariadne’s lives.

    Part 1- Once (chapters 1-5)
    Part 2- Twice (chapters 6-20)
    Part 3- Once Again (chapters 21-25)

    An exercise in character study, worldbuilding, and the art of the slowburn, set during and post inception. Expect tons of tension with equal sprinklings of adventure, humor, fluff, and angst. For those that are fans of Cobb and Eames, they are heavily featured.

    Summary

    Still, Arthur feels known to Mal in that moment, bound together as much as the twisting metal of the candle holders on the table between them. She reaches over to lay her hand over his own and Arthur thinks about what she means—about losing himself. In dreams, in the abyss, the mazes they built together. In the cobblestoned streets of Paris, walking and waiting for the dark that never really fully arrived, kept at bay by all the lights and life of the city glittering around them. In the lull of Eames’ voice in his ears, hovering too-close like he always did when they went out to celebrate a job’s success, trying something without really trying.

    -

    Arthur and Eames and the years that span between them.

    Summary

    Intensity. That was his real core, the quality that informed his every action, the trait that all those descriptions of him had in common, though seen from different perspectives.

    Summary

    Arthur wakes up in a time loop. It's not a dream. If he can't make his reality go back to normal, then he might as well find something to pass the time, and no one knows how to entertain like Eames.

    Summary

    Выбросы не работают. Подсознание объекта ведёт себя самым странным образом — игнорирует само существование Артура.

    Summary

    "They were in the middle of a job. But something about Ariadne made last minute plans feel like they were set in stone since earth's beginning. Made shirking responsibilities feel like a responsibility in itself."

    Arthur and Ariadne take a road trip (and Arthur has lots of feelings about her).
    Inspiration taken from the songs Fast Car by Tracy Chapman and Something by the Beatles.

    Summary

    Innocence, denial, and words that go unspoken

    (or guilt, confession, and iteration)

    He doesn't bother telling Cobb about a one-off with a grad student. It's irrelevant. Besides, it made Miles nostalgic. Arthur doesn't reminisce with Cobb unless they're both drunk, so they can pretend to forget by morning.

    Summary

    “You bought me coffee?”

    “You’ve come all the way from New York, my dear Arthur. It’s the least I could do.” He spread his heavily inked arms out in a welcoming gesture as he said this, smiling warmly. Arthur swallowed. First luv and now my dear. What the hell was next - pumpkin? This wasn’t going at all how Arthur had pictured. Not that it was going badly, per se, just . . . he hadn’t expected pet names and hipster coffee from a world-famous, underground graffiti cum tattoo artist who prided himself on being mysterious. He didn’t think anyone would.
