this dream called life by veritas_nescio (R)

Last Inception rec of the month! I do hope this fandom manages to hobble on and survive for a long while. There's still great fic to be read.

Fandom: INCEPTION
Pairing: Eames / OFC, Arthur/Eames
Length: 5521
Author on LJ: veritas_nescio
Author Website:
Why this must be read:
Eames only slides out of his armour for one person.

Told from the perspective of an unknown woman who goes to Spain and meets Eames. It almost seems like practice of fandom no’s with an OFC that meets and starts a relationship with a canon character, a meandering POV narrative that’s so vague it almost reads like 2nd person.

What this fic does by the end though, what it’s woven throughout, is an ending that’s at once tragic and joyous as it throws everything on its head. I would beg anyone thrown off by the premise to give this fic a chance because it’s so much more than what it seems that it seems haunting and beautiful.

Thanks for all your recs! I'm happy to see Inception still going strong - I know I still have stories to tell ... it's just finding the time!

:) I know I still have so many Inception fics on my to-read list it feels like I'll never get out of the fandom . Not that it's a bad thing. (BTW, I love your fics.)
