Rating: R
Pairing: Ariadne/Arthur, Cobb/Mal
Disclaimer: Characters you recognize belong to Christopher Nolan, Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko.
Spoilers/Warnings: Post-movie. For the inception_kink meme prompt in round 16: He's Fire Nation, and she's Water Tribe. Everyone is supposed to be getting along now, but it's still seen as taboo. Bonus points: For working the rest of the team in to the story. Warnings for violence, allusions to past rape and wartime mindfuckery.
Author's Note: This is a fusion of Inception with Avatar: The Last Airbender, which borrows heavily from various Far Eastern traditions. The different nations of the Avatar universe were modeled on different cultures. I renamed the Inception cast to blend in the Avatar universe. Saito's name obviously doesn't need to change, and I didn't change Yusuf's. Here are the names I use in this story: Arthur is Shi An Rui, Eames is Tu, Ariadne is Mei Ai Ren, Dominic Cobb is Song Du Man, Mallorie Cobb is Song Mai Liu, Nash is Niu, Cobol is Ko Bal, Robert Fischer is Feng Rui Bang, Maurice Fischer is Feng Mu Rui and Peter Browning is Bai Bao Tien.
Summary: Shi An Rui and Mei Ai Ren each had expected to lead ordinary lives. The spirits had other plans, as accidents and chance meetings change everything. Sometimes fire and water do mix.
Prior chapters:
One - Accidental Meeting
Two - The White Lotus
Three - Talk Of Secrets
