inceptwolf
Okay, so I saw something on tumblr (I still don't have a tumblr, I just lurk) about Teen Wolf/Inception and I RESPECTUALLY DISAGREE WITH IT. But my respectful disagreement made me consider how I think the Teen Wolf characters could fit into Inception (though I suspect there are a lot of variations of inceptwolf that could work) Anyway:
The extractor, Derek Hale, has lots of unresolved issues with his shade, Kate Argent, despite the fact that she is (unfortunately) still alive. He doesn't like to talk about it. Or anything. He is also a terrible leader, having moved into the position of extractor from architect due to the (mysterious) death of his sister, Laura Hale.
Derek has reluctantly taken on Kate's niece, Allison Argent, on as his pointlady (replacing former pointlady, cruel seductress, and crazy flamer arsonist...Kate Argent), primarily because of her (personal and professional, albeit fraught with family issues) partnership with Scott McCall, arguably the best forger in the business, despite, or maybe because of, his real face looking so dumb.
Scott's longtime friend, Stiles Stilinski, just so happens to be an architecture student with a very sketchy moral compass who's available to replace Derek's previous architect, himself, because Derek fails so hard as extractor that no one will let him do both (and, also, because his shade knowing the architecture would be BAD NEWS). Derek has to train Stiles in dreamsharing, and wishes that he would quit being so nosy about Laura.
The entire operation is underwritten by Jackson Whittemore, a ridiculous trust fund baby and pro lacrosse player who mostly wants to find out where Scott got those sweet 'roids who his real parents are.
To offset his own extreme uselessness, Jackson is able to provide the team with the services of his girlfriend, society it-girl and genius chemist Lydia Martin. Derek's other wish is that Stiles would shut up about her strawberry-blonde hair.
The answers to all their questions are in the mind of Derek's uncle and only living family member, one (comatose) Peter Hale. Maybe. Probably not. Derek doesn't really want to go mess around in his uncle's brain, but he is comatose, after all, and Derek really could use the money to buy a new Camaro avoid an investigation for the murder of his own sister, which is being spearheaded by a CIA operative known only (to Derek) as the Sheriff.
I'd put this a (dreamsharing) generation after Inception--the Hale family is an established name in the industry, Inception is a legend, Pippa Cobb is carrying on the family business in the background, etc.
...I realize the Jackson-Peter connection is a little sketchy, this isn't fully realized, and also maybe Derek needs two shades (Kate and Laura)...but I might actually want to write this now. YOU GUYS. I have so many other things on my plate. Mostly my own fault, because when I am taken to an idea buffet (or a real buffet, admittedly), I get greedy.
