So this story is weird for me because I felt like I needed to write it to help me empathize with some characters I felt really angry at while I was watching the movie. I wanted to imagine what it would be like to be in Limbo and not want to leave, to embrace that kind of total escapism.

Also, I think this might count for my "blades" square on kink bingo, but I have no idea if the "erotic focus" requirement is met or not. The eroticism here is so weird and broken that I can't figure out if this actually counts as kink.

Also: I have hardly read any fic at all for the movie, which I just saw yesterday. So I'm really sorry if everyone has read this exact fic several times already!

Not knowing the fandom, I just read it to see if I'd qualify it as a bingo fill, and I think I would. But that's me.

AAAAH NO DON'T SPOIL THE MOVIE FOR YOURSELF! It's so good! Just forget everything you read, okay?

But I'm glad you think it counts as a bingo fill! With how blocked I've been lately, I'll take what I can get. :D

YAY, FINALLY FIC IN A FANDOM I KNOW

Please write more Inception fic! The vast majority of the stuff I've come across in the fandom thus far, um, could use some improvement.

Yay, I'm so glad we're finally in a fandom together! I am strongly considering writing more even though, um, like, three people liked this one. :D THey're awesome people, anyway.
