    Summary

    Arthur was self-sufficient. Self-reliant. Proudly independent. He always knew exactly what he wanted and how he wanted it. Arthur’s life was… orderly. He had a career he worked hard for – he was a Michelin-star Chef in one of the most popular restaurants in the city, and he absolutely didn’t need a Sous-Chef in his perfectly run kitchen. He had best friends he didn’t have to see very often – Dom and Mal knew he was a busy man and never made a fuss about him bailing on their plans at the last minute. He didn’t have a significant other – but that was for the better. He would hate someone messing up his flat and taking up his time, and it wasn’t like he couldn’t get one if he wanted to, thank you very much.

    Arthur’s orderly life ended with an untimely phone call from a hospital. His whole world fell apart after that because how could he deal with his friends being dead, with suddenly becoming a parent, and with his manager insisting he couldn’t handle his kitchen – the only place where he still truly felt in control – on his own?

    An AU based on No Reservations (2007)

    Summary

    This work was created in the summer of 2021 in collaboration with wonderful stormofsharpthings for Inception Big Bang 2021 and storm's amazing story Shadow's Mask

    Rated M for the second art/chapter 2 (that is yet to be transferred to ao3) just to be on the safe side. Chapter 1/first art is absolutely gen.

    Summary

    “Sir, I am with Kings County Hospital Center, and I regret to inform you that your husband is currently in surgery,” the woman said, her voice even keeled.

    All of the air was sucked from Arthur’s lungs. He blinked a few times as the words processed in his brain. It had been years since he had heard those words, since he had even thought about the fact that he was married. It wasn’t something he had particularly thought about frequently, considering his current state of singleness. Or rather, romantic-singleness. He was technically betraying their vows every time he had a one night stand, but he figured that it was likely mutual.

    Summary

    Perhaps it’s the knowledge that this is Arthur’s mind — and Arthur knows twenty different ways to incapacitate a foe, but Ariadne knows that he would never purposefully harm her. Before, entering the swirling gray mist felt like walking into the mouth of a sinister creature waiting for her to accidentally let go of her tether so that it could swallow her down; now, walking through the nothingness feels no different than swimming in open water — treacherous, yes, but only in the uncaring, unfeeling way that nature is.

    Summary

    “They say this alchemist works with the dreaming drug. They say that his concoctions let you dream deeper and stay under longer. They say that he works magic with his science.”

    Mal considers Robert.

    “Do they say where this alchemist can be found?”

    Summary

    Arthur had figured a system out. He'd learned to hide his coughs and clear his throat discretely, figured out which brands of cough suppressant worked best, learned to ignore the cloying floral taste that seemed to linger in the back of his throat no matter what he did. He'd learned not to work in August because August was when dahlias bloomed and that made hiding his symptoms harder than he wanted to put up with. It was fine. Not great, but fine. But then Ariadne reached out with a late summer job and Arthur knew she didn't have the connections to find another pointman if he said no. Besides, it would be a quick and easy job. He'd managed to hide his symptoms from Eames for almost four years- he could hide them for another month. Right?

    In which Hanahaki disease is a chronic illness stemming from unspoken feelings, and Arthur is maybe a bit of an idiot.

    Summary

    Five years post-inception, Dominick Cobb starts having dreams again. Every few nights, his mind imagines him in a city vastly unlike his own, working long hours, eating at nice restaurants, and going on dates. He's relieved that his subconscious finally seems to be back to its natural state, until he starts finding notes he doesn't remember writing, and his children tell him about things he doesn't remember doing.

    Cobb is not dreaming. He and Saito are swapping bodies.

    Or: AU where Arthur’s just a guy from a coastal sailing village, and Eames is the vengeful spirit of a long-dead pirate whose soul roils the waves. They meet under less than ideal circumstances.

    Summary

    It’s surprising how much one can love.
    It’s equally surprising how much it hurts, having your soul and your heart and your mind removed and crushed, and somehow still being forced to live on.

    They say that in the end the only thing that’s left when the love of your life is gone, is the endless mirage, the kaleidoscope of memories, swirling around without any order.

    (Oh, and they were. They were completely, utterly and madly in love.)

    Summary

    Over the course of Eames’ twenty-seven years on Earth, one of the things that he had found that seemed to be a pressing, life-threatening, reoccurring danger was the fact that things tended to go well until they didn’t.

    Summary

    THe story is so full of stunning visuals, tailor-made for illustrating and here I tried to capture the general vibe I got from it and the moment that was kind of an inner core and heart of the story to me: Arthur and Eames in one of their quiet intimate moments (no matter real or imaginary, as reality can be chosen, as we all know )) or created, as it happens in 'Galatea'
