Why You Should Read This:
After watching Inception, what I wanted more than anything was canon-based fics, which are rather rare in this fandom. This was the first AU I tried, and only because gyzym is *amazing* and I trust her ability to make me love something I’m initially reluctant about. This fic is about what you’d expect from the author – great characterization, fantastic writing, and an engaging plot. Arthur is a stuck in a job he hates, completely unhappy there – and then Eames shows up across the street, getting Arthur addicted to his coffee and making room in Arthur’s life for himself.. This is another feel good fic, really – the angst comes from Arthur’s unhappiness with his job. Not too long a fic, and a fun one at that – so everyone should give it a try : )
This is one of my favorite AUs in the Inception fandom that I’ve read so far at least.
It’s one of my favorites too, and the one to convince me that Inception AU’s could be just as good as canon ones 🙂
