Inception, Arthur/AriadnekaminagiDecember 19 2015, 23:54:09 UTC
"There's nothing here for you," Arthur says, bewildered when she finds him at the shores of decaying memory, desperately grasping a red thread that he has been too afraid to follow and too afraid to let go, "why are you here?"
"I'm the architect," Ariadne whispers, and he sees that she is not here to build from nothing and raze it to the ground, but to salvage, to save him from sinking into a sea of void.
And when she hauls them to the surface from the waves of ruin, with the red thread tightly bound around their wrists, he knows at last that she will always pull him from his doom.

Wow, gorgeous prose and emotion, and perfect use of dreamlike imagery. I love the symbolism of the red thread "that he has been too afraid to follow and too afraid to let go" (beautiful line), and Ariadne's "I'm the architect" (also amazing), and the entire thing, really.
