Ohh, wow, I love it! I'm a total sucker for this ship, and I don't even know why. Good job! ♥

[paperclipbitch]

I don't know why either, but I love it too!

Thanks sweetie :)

Adored a great deal of this. And by 'a great deal', I mean everything except two words (which I'll get to in a second), but you should probably know that, much like the movie, this fic twisted my brain inside out in a good way. I'm not sure which things actually happened, and I would read this thing a dozen times over to get my bearings if it weren't for the fact that I like the puzzle of it.
And now I'm picking tiny holes in it, and they are word choices rather than anything, because those are the largest holes I can find to pick: in the first paragraph, I love the way you describe Paris tearing itself apart, but I found the word 'shimmer-shining' a little incongruous with the rest of the passage. And there was another point where my mind stumbled over the spelling of Montmartre, but I'm only picking that up because I just watched Amelie. So yes, overall, I keep kicking myself for not writing nearly this well. Thank you and curse you simultaneously :-D

I'm only mostly sure what happened in this and I wrote it, so I'm glad it was a little bit confusing ;) I've fixed the spelling already, that's me not proof-reading the stuff I write in the early hours of the morning, but thanks for pointing it out! As for the word choice, feedback is always appreciated!

Basically: thank you very much, I'm glad you enjoyed sweetie!

Actually, more thanks are in order: after re-reading this I went off and signed up for a prompt community, so hopefully people will be able to see the slow improvement in my style over the coming months...

Have I mentioned how much I love that you ship these guys too? I think so, but it's worth repeating!

This is gorgeous, but my saying that seems redundant by now since everything you write is. I love everything about it but that shouldn't come as a surprise either.

It's all pretty much just one more reason you're my favourite. ♥

[paperclipbitch]

I apparently don't ship them in a stable way, though, which is sad ;) Thank you so much lovely, I'm so pleased you enjoyed *hugs*

Ah, this is utterly fantastic. I've not been doing much reading in Inception fandom, but wow, you really created something stunning here! The unreality of this makes your head spin and it's perfect.

[paperclipbitch]

I haven't read nearly as much in the Inception fandom as I'd like to, but I'm glad you liked this, thank you very much!

Lovely. What's-really-real is what I want in this fandom, and oh wow does this deliver.
