Aww, this is lovely. And I love Cobb's reaction to returning to his normal life; I don't think he'd just be able to adjust overnight, so it was really nice to see that explored a little. Anyway, I just adore your fics. ♥♥

ALSO, I meant to comment with this on your last entry, but I forgot, so I'll say it here: YOUR NEW LAYOUT IS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS.

Aw, thank you so much! I think he'd have issues adjusting, too. With someone he's wanted so long that he literally dreamed about, I feel like he'd still worry and doubt it.

:D Thanks so much! I love the colors of it. I can't take credit for it, though; premade_ljs made it.

Oh yes, oh yes oh yes! This is exactly what I thought about post-film: how would Cobb handle the first few days, regardless of what his totem(s) were telling him, he would be terrified to sleep, just in case. You have his worry, his sense of responsibility, his stoicness (and martyrdom) down to a science.

And God, that's heartbreaking. But AWESOME, because it rings so true with how the film ended, etc. Ohhh I want to read a continuation of this soooo badly. I always look forward to reading your fics, this made my night.

...you made me think of something. I need to decide what Cobb's totem was before he adopted Mal's. Hmm.

Anyway! Thanks so much!

You have his worry, his sense of responsibility, his stoicness (and martyrdom) down to a science.

Seriously, thank you. I was worried he would come across as kind of...bland? Despite his worries.

I liked this, especially Dom's fear of falling asleep, lest he's been dreaming. It's heartbreaking, that he would consider living in a dream, and yet so understandable. And then Arthur's cameo made it allll better.

[strokeof_genie]

Thanks so much! I feel like Dom relies on Arthur a lot, to make things better.

Cute <3 I could certainly see this happening.
