Inception Kink Meme - Gen, first deaths

[concinnity_blue]

Title: Always a First Time
Pairing: Gen
Rating: PG-13
Prompt: How everyone got through their first deaths in the dream to wake up. Like maybe Mal had to hold Cobb's hand, and Yusuf did it by accident then realised it wasn't so bad, and when Cobb was training a very young Arthur he was worried and saddened by how calmly Arthur just said "ok then,

Oh, these are fantastic! I actually found your fic because I was going to fill this prompt, but now I'm not so sure. ;D

I think I like Cobb's the best, because we so rarely get to see him as the inexperienced one. And Arthur's - poor baby, but I love how he's resigned to the fact that he has to get shot. And OF COURSE Eames would want to go out in the most extravagant way possible.

Love this! Great job!

I can't really take credit for the exact way most of 'em go out, since that was the prompter's idea, really.

But thanks so much! Also, you should fill it if it interests you! This is such an interesting and unique prompt, one very few other fandoms could have, and it would be interesting to see another take on it! I would totes read it.

Hmm... maybe I will write something for it. It is one of the most intriguing prompts I've read!

But UGH - I really shouldn't, because this kink meme is EATING MY SOUL. And I used to be so productive! Alas. XD

I caved. I had to do it. You can read my own fill for this here.

I feel like such a creeper haha, but I wanted to say that this was beautiful.

HAHAH I'm glad you liked the surname bit because there have been a couple of people being all negative about it, and I'm all like, "Whatever it's fanon you don't have to agree with me for it to be delightful."

As for the cafe, yeah, you're totally right. I added in an author's note up near the top when I realized that, but I'm not going to change things cause it would be like, "LOL, remember that thing you saw right in the movie? HERE IS IS AGAIN."

<3 YAY I LOVE YOU.

Some people are all not onboard with the "Darling-as-surname" thing (see the little discussion about it in the Kink Meme's general discussion thread,) but I think it's delightful and very fun.

And also, yay! Thank you for your comment~!

[concinnity_blue]

YEAH I KNOW, see I wrote out my thoughts all lucidly in the GD thread, but EVERYTHING IS BETTER WITH CAPSLOCK. So, I'm like Eames can totally be calling him Darling in more than one sense because, like, NO ONE ELSE is calling him Darling, so obviously if we take it as his surname it's not like he really invites people to use it and all that! SO the snarkiness and awesome of Eames' little comment is still there, but also his name is DARLING which is awesome cause he's actually such a badass.

The end.

ONLY LET'S RUN AWAY TOGETHER AND MAKE BEAUTIFUL BABIES.

Thanks so much, dahlin'~!
