Well, I have just recently surfaced from the sea of midterms/essays/horror, and it appears I've made it out alive. :) 
HELLO INCEPTION FANDOM!!!! *waves* I've missed you guys!

And now to get back to writing fic!
From zeto :
The first TEN people to comment in this post get to request that I write a drabble of any pairing/character/gen fic of their choosing ( Read more... )

This is not a request. XD

Drabbles are 100 words on the dot each; double drabbles are 200 words each. I've only ever encountered those two terms; any others are already just plain fic, I guess.

ilovetakahana has it; anything over 100 for a drabble or 200 for a double drabble is plain flash fiction.

WHY ARE YOU MAKING ME DO THIS OH GODS.

Saito/Eames? Wow. :) aimlesstravels October 14 2010, 21:07:57 UTC
Don't look at the word count!! Don't do it!!!! *hides*
Hope you like! :)

He never wears patterned shirts anymore, or loud colors, or goes a single day without shaving. These days, it’s always dark suits, somber and conservative, more suited to the owner of a funeral parlor than to the hollow-cheeked, empty-eyed forger.

He wore the shirts for Arthur, just to see the point man’s numerous expressions of barely concealed horror in the twitch of his left eye and the downward turn of his lips. He never shaved because Arthur always made a point to do so - with a straight razor no less, skillful bastard - shining blade scraping up and down over the planes of smooth cheeks.

He’s still good at what he does. Even after all that had happened, after what’s only spoken of in hushed whispers and never more than that, of the death (cold-blooded murder) of the best point man in the business, of the hell that raged in the wake of his lover’s vengeance.

They were planning to get out of the business, just the two of them. Together. After all, they ( ... )

... Cobb/Saito? :D *grins hopefully*

I'm horrid at sticking to the 100 word limit and rarely write at coms that are sticklers for it... which is why you don't see me at inception100 (or whatever it's called) but I _love_ that slashthedrabble takes up to 500 words.
tl/dr: I'm rambly. XD

Maybe you don't want to mess around with the OTP (completely understandable), but... Eames/Ariadne? additional prompts, if needed: first kiss; tattoo design; E saving A when a job goes wrong; the scarf hides his hickeys. thank for taking prompts!

You're most welcome; hope you like! :)
(And, like above, this is a double drabble because I can't possibly write just 100 words. *headdesk* )

They’re legend now, all of them: the Inception dream team (no pun intended) who pulled off what should’ve been, by all intents and purposes, impossible. Cobb’s always been a big name and now that he’s “retired”, even more so. Yusuf’s finally moving out of his illegal dreaming dens and onto the bigger and better, and as for Arthur, well. The Prince of Paradox has incontestably become the business’s most sought after player.

Ariadne though - she burst onto the scene in a whirl of brightly colored scarves and soul-old eyes, with intelligence and wit and a genuine kindness so rarely seen in the world of dream-sharing that Eames supposes it really shouldn’t have been that big of a shock that everyone wanted her too.

But, he thinks, as he cradles the young woman close and lets her bury her face in the crook of his neck as she clings to him, those sick fuckers should have just left her bloody ( ... )

oh, so very good. how can you do so much in so little space? I really want to read more of this story. Who tried to take Ariadne? How did the boys find out? I know you may never answer these questions with a story, but it's a testament to your skills that I'm already invested. thanks so much for responding to my request! have a great night.

Thank *you*, bb, for putting forth the request!! :)
Um...I don't know if I have the answers to all those questions. Tbh, I don't know if I will write a full-fledged Eames/Ariadne fic, b/c I love the boys together way too much. But I may expand upon this in another drabble (or two or three). :)
