First I want to say thank you for all your wonderful comments! I certainly do not mind the "spam" and love the feeling of lots of unread comments sitting in my inbox. :P

To respond to your earlier comment about Cobb changing too fast, I totally agree. I tried to make it seem like he really had always harbored those feelings, and that was the explosive way that it came out, but at that point, it seemed really out of character for him to take such a dramatic shift. I hope that some of the later wavering back and forth helps to mitigate the sudden transformation and show how reconciling the present with the past fucks with Cobb's head. XD

You can tell I love Yusuf, Eames, and Saito, huh? XD I think they are the biggest BAMFs in the whole movie and really deserve their time in the spotlight versus the amount of text dedicated to Arthur out there. (I didn't try to make him a dick per se, but this is what happened when I focused all of my love on more deserving characters.)

Yessss. This is exactly what I wanted: a fic where the team was able to get back together for a last hurrah without it seeming contrived. I love the dynamics between all of them in the movie, longed for more of the same, and I think that's what the fandom is missing the most of. Just being a Good Samaritan!

I'm beyond ecstatic that you think my Cobb is as deliciously fucked up as he needs to be, lol. I think I was mentally deranged for the week or two I was writing the Cobb character development chapters because he honestly took over my head, and I put a lot of myself into him. What this says about me, though, I probably do not care to know. XP

Most of all, I am SO glad to receive positive feedback from you because your writing is just *___________* gah I can't even. This makes my heart aflutter, honestly. :) *huggle*

They seriously are BAMFs. I know man, I know. Some days, I am so tired of Arthur, as much as I love him. He's one of the most written about characters in fandom and yet, I can't think of any character more frequently butchered. I guess every fandom needs its whipping boy, but seriously. A LITTLE OVER THE TOP, THERE.

I think Arthur is kind of a dick, personally, so it's not that I really minded. I just hated him for not being supportive, lol. I guess I get where he's coming from, though, since Dom hasn't exactly been the BEST FRIEND EVER all these years. I don't know. Maybe I'd be testy, too, in Arthur's position. *shrug*

Ahahaha, I know just what you mean. My Eames is such a reflection of me it's totally not even funny anymore. I am deeply worried for the future of his character, LOL. Delight in that fucked up side of yourself---better on paper (well, a computer screen, anyway) than wreaking havoc in your head. ;)

*huggles you back* :)
