[Inception] The Cast of the Die, Chapter 2

Jul 30, 2010 18:21

Title: The Cast of the Die
Part: 2/5
Pairing: Arthur/Ariadne, Dom/Mal
Rating: PG-13
Spoilers: The movie.

Summary: They first met, ironically, at a casino. Arthur was offered the world, and he was to be the god of it. Perhaps this is a risk worth taking.

( His first experience going into the dream world was something he would never, ever forget. [2/5] )

fanfic: inception

Absolutely amazing. I really appreciate how you portrayed Mal's "lovely" days - I could easily envision her and Dom having similar conversations as what you have written here (And in turn it makes her demise even more tragic).

Thanks so much!! I really appreciate you taking the time to read the story. I really felt bad for Mal during the movie. She is such a tragic, underdeveloped character, so it was a lot of fun writing about her.

You're very welcome and I fully agree! I always thought that Dom and Mal must've had the most beautiful relationship to have survived all the times and trials that came before the Inception. People underappreciate her because the majority of what we know of her in canon is her shade - not herself.

Yeah definitely. What interested me the most was when Arthur said to Ariadne something like, "I wish you had known her before." It makes me wonder what sort of relationship they had with one another. Oh, the unanswered questions...

I love it!
Such careful and detailed writing. I especially love how you wrote about Mal before her suicide. =(

This is developing really well...I can't wait to read more!

I love the exploration of Mal, who was really such a tragic character no matter what interpretation you believe from the movie.

And what was so briefly touched on in the film, Arthur knowing Mal, is wonderful to see written out as well.

Thank you so much for reading and commenting. I really had a lot of fun writing Mal. It was hard, but fun. :)
