Inception → Cobb/Arthur
The time Cobb almost lost Arthur for good and Arthur almost let him do it. 3222 words. Explicit.
A/N, written for inception_kink for a number of prompts including this, and this.

( These things are becoming familiar: the sinking of his gut, of his senses, when the IV goes in and his mind goes under, the way the first thing he looks for is Cobb when his eyes open again. )

pairing: cobb/arthur, fandom: inception, !fanfic, character: arthur, character: cobb

Oh my god, my heart. This was fantastic and heartbreaking in all the right ways.

I really hope to write more with Cobb/Arthur soon, their dynamic is the most fascinating thing...

Thank you <3

Ouch. Poor Arthur for being so in love without knowing it, and poor Cobb for being such an incapable dickhead. You've given us a glimpse into why Arthur sticks with Cobb the way he does. I really hope you continue to write this pairing. :)

Cobb/Arthur is definitely my Inception OTP, followed by Eames/Yusuf's cat. :D

Thanks!

Oh god, this is just. Oh. Oh. It's so raw and clinical (and those two words don't even make sense together - except in this context they somehow totally do) and just. Man, this is lovely.

radishface September 6 2010, 12:06:16 UTC

to have something raw and clinical in the same context... is a PARADOX aka ARTHUR'S FAVORITE THING

no but really, that comment made my day! :D Thank you!

Hahaha, I literally did almost just have PARADOOOOXXXXX!!!!! in parenthesis, but somehow talked myself out of it for behind only vaguely more coherent. Bad decision or worse decision?!

radishface September 7 2010, 17:40:54 UTC

Rational decision! But yes, this was a very GMTA moment. 8D

At first I was like, That's it?! D:> but then I reread the summary and now I find it fitting but sad :)
You write so well by the way! I'm blown away ;) and I love the format for the story. The big letter at the very beginning and the font-omggg looks so pro haha I'm definitely going to hunt for more fics by you :D

radishface September 7 2010, 17:44:07 UTC

Thanks for the kind words!! Cobb/Arthur is pretty doomed, unless it's curtain!fic or crack!fic. But me, I like them on the angsty side. >)

I'm a huge formatting geek, so I'm glad you like the story layout... this is actually the first time anybody's commented on it, so it makes me super happy! ^^

haha yaayyy I'm the first :) I don't know why no one's commented on it before; it makes me feal like I'm reading from a book, not the laptop screen lol
There's a certain apeal to having the angst in their relationship, I've noticed. I'm certain I'm reading more angsty fics than fluffy ones now a days for the pairing -3-
