Inception-specific thematic list: Limbo
Time for another Inception-specific thematic list!
This time, that bizarre place that nobody wants to visit...yes, the Hotel California of the dreamworld, where once you enter, you can never leave (except when you can), LIMBO.
I’ve bookmarked all fics I’ve come across that deal with Limbo. This list is by no means comprehensive, so if you have any additions, recommendations or suggestions, let me know! This is definitely a work in progress.

feverbeats (G)
1,327 words | Cobb/Mal, Arthur/Eames
Quote: "She remembers going to sleep on their living room floor while their children played outside, but that's not . . . She can't remember the world before that one, but she knows there was one. She realizes what Dom's "limbo" is. They're in a dream within a dream, but she was never meant to remember that. He dreamed the first level and she dreamed this one as the unwitting subject. He's designed this world, something he's never been very good at. She has to wake them up."
As It Comes by knowmydark (R)
6,829 words | Arthur/Eames | angst, coma, projections
Summary: Arthur falls into a coma after a job gone wrong. When he wakes up from it four and a half years later, Eames is waiting for him, but things aren't as simple as that.

Darling by tequilideas (PG-13)
4,000 words | Arthur/Eames | angst, projections | Warnings: creepy, dark, character death, unhappy ending
Quote: “It’s not real," Arthur says. “Whatever you think you’re doing, it’s not real." “Of course," Eames says, “but that’s only true for certain values of ‘real.’"
[Warning: Basically, this is a ghost story. But with no literal ghosts. But with a lot of dead bodies; A/N: In my head, forging is a bit like being an architect, but with people. So, in limbo, instead of building buildings, Eames builds Arthurs. What happens to the Arthurs is that they become Darlings when Eames realizes he built them wrong. He builds to the extent of his knowledge of Arthur and then doesn’t know how to go any further, like he tried to go into a building he built and found out it was just a façade and he has no idea what the inside’s supposed to look like anyway. And then he wants to scrap them, but because he’s not really aware that he’s BUILDING them as opposed to projecting them, he doesn’t think he can do that. But because he WILLS it, even subconsciously, it happens, like with building]

6,559 words | Cobb/Saito
Summary: Saito creates Cobb in limbo. Then they make mazes. (6,559 words)
Summary: He waits two years until he sees Cobb. He's been imagining this over and over -- what else is there to do, right, and he's already beaten all of his phantoms at Go. But instead of annoyance and pithy remarks, he feels an overbearing sense of love that shakes his bones. Good god, I've become a princess, Saito thinks, but his eyes follow the curve of Cobb's mouth as he walks up the mountain slowly.
"Hey," Cobb says when he finally reaches the top, and could he be any slower? That trek alone felt like an entire year.
"Let's go," Saito says immediately. Cobb looks confused[...]
Saito says, "I'd suggest giving me a moment to pack but..."
Cobb doesn't smile. He reaches to cup Saito's chin and Saito closes his eyes and thinks, Ah, so this isn't real. I made this too.
