Why this must be read:


Presque Vu:

Or, "on the tip of the tongue." Arthur meets Mal first. He inherits Dom, after. Everything else is on him.

Rageprufrock mentions in her author’s note that Arthur’s line to Ariadne about Mal was the seed for this story, and it shows. This is probably the most gorgeous rendering of her character you will find, and the contrast between Arthur’s Mal and Cobb’s shade is heartbreaking.

However, this is Arthur’s story, his love story in particular. And his evolution from architecture student to the point man we know and love is detailed lovingly. Eames is also excellent; Pru has balanced his two sides, con man and lover, perfectly.

(One of my favorite points is the recurring idea that Arthur would be absolutely terrifying in prison.)

A small disclaimer: I will be exploring the darker side of Inception, Yet, to keep this month from becoming too depressing, there will be a sprinkling of lighter fic interspersed.

Hello! Thanks for the rec - could you please put word counts if you have them (or a rough "Short" "Long" "Novel-Length" if you don't have it?). Thanks!

Yay, another Inception month! Just one thing - would you mind tagging each entry when you post it, so that I can track them? Thanks so much :)
