:( OH man that was sad. But in a good way. Poor Ariadne, broken and yearning for something she can't have. I really love the format - her having her own elevator because she learned it from him. And the ending with Dom apologizing..and then she just walking away (knowing she'll come back) is :( (but in a good way) Great stuff.

:( it breaks my heart not to give them a happy ending but this seemed more real, I suppose... and, gosh, thank you dear ♥ :) glad you enjoyed it!

HNNNNNGGG
There needs to be more Dom/Ariadne love--this kind of nail-biting, heart clenching, fist pumping, fever inducing pain of love. Beautifully written--like all your works. ;)

God, this is beyond AMAZING!! it's honestly and hands down the best Ariadne/Cobb fic I've read til now, and I've read a lot. But seriopusly, you had the characters down to a R, and the angst and your writing style were phenomenal, I beg you please make more!! I'm not good writer like you, but I hope this comment does express how much I loved this.

I was trying to write "...down to a T" but I'm writing in the dark :P my bad.

SO FIRST OF ALL, I WAS THE OP THAT REQUESTED THIS WHICH MAKES MY HEART AFLUTTER LIKE YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE <3

basically, this was a fic-idea that i wanted to write but got lazy and frustrated with and thus, it became a prompt. i may still give it a shot myself but holy crap you've given me all i wanted with it and more! ANGST, BEAUTIFUL ANGST. i really wanted this side of her explored because realistically, there is no way she could have come out of working with him unscathed. anyway, this was gorgeous and gutted me in all the right ways. it was exactly what i had in mind, with her feeling like she was made up of pale echoes of the things she'd experienced with him, all the things he taught her, and you worked that into the dreams so well! thank you for such an extraordinary fill. i love it to death!

[poptartmuse]

NO KIDDING!!! hahahaha clearly meant to be, lmao ♥

I am SO FREAKING HAPPY you like it!!! I was a little nervous that it might have strayed away from the prompt too much, but YAY!! oh good good. *dance of joy*

thank you for an AMAZING prompt bb!

i love what you've done here. but i can never get into the whole "ariadne is a child" train. she isn't. but the whole dom unable to love anymore bit, yep, definitely can get on that. this is just wonderfully done. please please put this on fanfiction.net. we need more of this over there.

[poptartmuse]

What I'll say to the whole "Ariadne as a child" thing is that I do think that being significantly younger, with a ton less experience, she, at least metaphorically, is childlike in the POV of the rest of the team. But also I do think that even at the age of what, 23/24?... I don't really think that you're fully an adult at even that age. IDK, those are just my thoughts xD we can agree to disagree.

and gosh, thank you :)))) I would post at fanfiction.net if I had an account over there! sorry :x

[swamp_ariadne]

ok, agree to disagree. :)

just saying though, coz one of my closest friends met her husband when she was 23... and he was 40 then. but not everyone can be them. just saying that the possibility is there.

[swamp_ariadne]

just like to add though that i don't think it's age that is keeping them apart. it's him - which you did beautifully here. oh that delicious pain.
