Inception, 2 recs, Mal/Dom
Hey, remember when this movie was all the fandom rage like four years ago? There was some good fic to be had that wasn't slash.
Fandom Category: Inception
Pairing: Malorie Cobb/Dominic Cobb
Fic Title: Some Dream, Others Rise
Author: musesfool
Link: http://archiveofourown.org/works/108245
Rating/Warning(s): General Audiences
Word Count/WIP?: 2,013 (complete)
Recced By: stars-inthe-sky
Why This Must Be Read: Short but worthwhile, this story considers what would have happened if Mal was right-that Dom was still stuck in a layer of a dream. Her doggedness in going after him gives a richer sense of how her projections might have turned out to be what they were, and the author plays with the time lapse differences just enough to blow your mind a little.
Special Rec: 12/20

Why This Must Be Read: This story takes a similar premise to the one above-Mal wakes up, Dom doesn't, Mal and Arthur scheme to save him-and expands it, building Mal into a person who feels real and whole and diving a little deeper into the individual characters that compose the team and how they relate to each other.
