Inception: If I Could Dream

[rat_chan]

What's this? Inception, but not Arthur/Eames? You mean that Saito/Arthur fic no one is reading wasn't a fluke?
Apparently not.
Truth to tell, I like a variety of Inception pairings. They just need to have Arthur in them.
Anywho...

Title: If I Could Dream
Pairing: Arthur/Nash (one-sided)
Rating: R (for language and sexual content)

Oh, wow. That's certainly something I've not seen from any that-(should I say in case of spoilers?)-character fic I've read so far. Way more intimate and ... (I'm so bad with words - this is why I don't write) ... I guess, intimate/personal, than most of the that-character fic in this fandom.

Nice work! I've never been sympathetic to that-character before, so you're angle of entry must be pretty good.

Thanks.

I don't know why, but ever since the second time I watched Inception, the image of Nash running his fingers over Arthur's hand as he checks the PASIV has stayed with me...
The first time I saw the movie, I wanted to write Arthur/Eames.
After the second time, I also wanted to write Arthur/Nash... it's just more challenging and there doesn't seem to be much interest.
For writers, I should think Nash is a diamond mine of possibilities (since there's so little of him in the movie).

After this story popped in my head (it was kinda weird, really -- I was just laying there, coughing, trying to iron out details on the wild west au, and BANG there it was, somehow), I did a quick check of the kinkmeme's Delicious bookmarks to see if it matched any prompts, when I found this prompt. It didn't exactly match this fic, but damn it sure matched a lot of my take on Nash (obsessed with Arthur) and a plot I'd toyed around with (Nash selling out Cobb and Arthur for the promise of getting Arthur). I might fill that (or kind of fill it)

See, I feel like you've already skirted the first prompt here. The second one, well, you'd be able to go to some VERY interesting places with that.

[rat_chan]

Oh yes. There really are some far more fascinating possibilities for characterization and other things with the second prompt.
Plus, I have a really vivid image of a scene that'd be in there somewhere.

this is my favorite style of writing and it's often the hardest to do. i love everything about this.

[rat_chan]

Perhaps the hardest thing with this style is knowing when and how much to use it?
Anyway,
Thank you very much. I'm glad you liked it. =)
