We Used to Wait by chibi_lurrel (Explicit)

[aeluromancy.livejournal.com]

Fandom: INCEPTION
Pairing: Arthur/Cobb, Arthur/Mal, Cobb/Mal, & Arthur/Eames
Length: 25,066
Author on LJ: chibi_lurrel
Author Website: lurrel on Dreamwidth
Warnings:

Military situations and trauma, non-explicit child abuse, suicidal actions, canon character death, and drug addiction

Why this must be read:

                The first time Dominick Cobb meets Arthur, he is 22 and the boy is 14. The last time
                Eames meets him, he is 34 and Arthur is 29.

We Used to Wait explores a very dark version of the military origins of dreamshare; why Miles, Dom and Mal are so tightly caught up in its creation; and why Arthur is the best point man in the business.

Be advised, this story is dark and gutting.
