Fandom: Inception Prompt: Bystander +2 Word Count: 100 Total Points: 2 A/N: This is section 5/6 of my pre-A/C WIP fic Lavender Blue, in which Arthur is a trans woman.
“We can still be together. Right here. In the world we built together,” Mal had said. “Or would you rather be with her?”
“Who?”
“Arthur. I’ve seen her when he’s under. The look on your face when I threatened him - it’s obvious how you feel about her.”
“Mal-”
“But you married me. Stay here.”
And then they were out of time. “Cobb, we need to get Fischer.”
When Ariadne tells Arthur the story later, there’s no questions, only a hesitant, “If you need someone to talk to….”
“Thanks,” he says, “but I think I should talk to Cobb.”

Fandom: Inception Prompt: Progress +1 Word Count: 100 Total Points: 2 A/N: Possible section 6/6 (may rewrite it so we actually get to the conversation) of Lavender Blue.
It’s a few jobs later when Arthur makes it back to Los Angeles and drops in on the Cobbs. The kids have missed him, and she’s missed them - but she hadn’t realized until now, until he was standing over her smiling as she hugged them, how much she’d also missed Cobb himself.
She’s smiling too, when she straightens and looks at him. “You look happy,” she says.
“Getting there,” he replies. “I’ve got the kids back, and I’ve been,” - he looks sheepish - “talking to someone.”
“Good,” she says sincerely. Then: “Speaking of talking, we should….”

“You good?” Cobb doesn’t seem to hear the question.
Even after the desperate play he made to get them down there, Arthur still trusts him to get the job done - but at the same time, he’s off his game. “Hey, you ready?”
“Yes. Yes, I’m fine, I’m - I’m ready.” He’s back in the moment, the response quick, no space for thought, for doubt. If he shares Eames’s concerns, he doesn’t express them. He trusts her, too, without question, without conditions.
She presses the plunger on the PASIV and inwardly laments that she doesn’t have time to thank him for that.
His musing ended when the carriage pulled smoothly to a stop in front of his estate. The carriage door opened, letting in the soft afternoon light. The simulacrum sat up in its seat and looked at him for direction. He was suddenly struck with the notion that it behaved like a bystander in life. Participate in this one game, and spend the rest of your shelf life pondering what you witnessed.
For the first time, he spoke to the simulacrum directly:
