I'm glad you found the ending to be moving--some of the exact details of what they're doing and saying might have changed, but I always knew I wanted the story to end with a particular feeling.
I must say, one of the things I love most about writing in Inception is writing about adult/middle-aged characters. I've written about plenty of 20 somethings in various fandoms, and even the ones with more fantastical backgrounds are often more potential than fully-formed person. It's very interesting to write about characters that have lived a significant portion of their life on their own, making their own decisions, dealing with the consequences--as opposed to under the various protections/guidance/control of parents or guardians. There's a lot of interesting material for me to cover there, as a writer.
And I think sex lives can be more interesting too--more deep and thoughtful, when the participants in question have been around the block. A lot of the sex lives of younger adults is about discovery and newness and potential, which is interesting in its own way, but I appreciate the chance to write about sex in a different context.
Ah, Sudheer--one of my favorite characters! Good to know he has fans. Sudheer is still a part of Arthur's life as Eames & Arthur are not monogamous. I don't want to get into the details of exactly what that means for the three of them as I'm actually working on a coda that delves more into that, but suffice it to say that Sudheer is still around to drive Eames up the wall.
Thank you for your thoughtful comment and feedback. It is all much appreciated.
