Mal fic

[mercymydarling]

Hi, I'm incredibly new to this fandom AND this community, so if I do something wrong here, please let me know. =)

I stumbled across this delightful fic, and it had me wondering: are there many stories that take off with the idea that Mal jumps... and then wakes up?

I compiled a thematic list of this trope here, which I've copy-pasted below:

Amazing Grace by airgiodslv (PG)
18,400 words | gen with Arthur/Eames, Mal/Cobb, Arthur/Cobb
Quote: “Cobb’s in a coma,” Arthur says. It’s the first time he’s said it out loud; the words feel strange in his mouth. “He’s fallen into limbo. Mal and I can’t wake him up.”

In Our Line of Work by Fee / enjambament (R)
~15,500 words | Arthur/Eames, Cobb/Mal
Summary: Arthur wakes up and realizes the last ten years of his life have been a dream. He is nineteen, and he can barely remember where he is. What he can remember is the ghost of Eames’ hands pressed down on his chest trying frantically to stop the blood flooding up around his fingers as Arthur died (as he woke up).

(Waves) Break Upon the Shore by cherryice (PG)
1,925 words | Cobb/Mal, Arthur/Eames
Summary: What if Mal was right?
Quote: "Of her husband's projections, Mal wants to say this: These are not your people. These are not your friends. Every quirk or quibble elevated to defining trait and she wants him to remember Arthur, barefoot in the sand and tie loose, or Eames with a book of Tennyson slipping from slack fingers as he drifts deep into sleep, sprawled across their overstuffed chair. He doesn't, of course, and Arthur's buttons are always done and his hair perfectly slicked; Eames makes endless bawdy jokes and sharp comments."
