waiting for a train: Inception fic recs
So Inception. It’s a movie about Arthur’s suits, the use of the word darling, the BRRRRRRM noise, architecture, doomed love, and oh yeah, dreams.

This is a collection of some of my favorite fics in the fandom, there are literally hundreds that I’ve read but these are the ones that really stood out, and I’ve come back to recently.
