this is BEAUTIFUL. there needs to be more cobb/arthur fic in the world. i love me an arthur in distress and a protective cobb. i think i could propose to this fic haha excellent job!
I enjoyed this, once I managed to ignore the part about the Russians being the baddies (I just recently saw Salt, I'm still appalled). Just wondering, did you mean something by calling Galina 'the first'?
Haven't seen Salt, so I'm not sure what you're referencing...?
And I'm not 100% on which line you're referring to, but if you mean "So when Dom heard him screaming, really screaming, for the first time..." I was trying to say that it was the first time Cobb had heard him just lose his shit and scream, instead of trying to control himself or being able to moderate himself. Is that what you meant?
And re-reading this comment, it comes off kind of like I'm looking down my nose or something, but I'm just all like, "Hnngh?" not actually trying to sound that way.
Salt is yet another movie about espionage; or, to be more concrete, Russian-Soviet espionage. I'm just a little sore after watching it, it's kind of insulting. Sorry, I really do like this fic :]
No, I mean the surname you chose for her. Pervaia means 'the first' in Russian. Just wondering whether you chose that with some sort of idea in mind or randomly.
No, it was completely and utterly random, with no meaning behind it whatsoever. I picked it off a list of Russian names because I thought it sounded pretty. Clearly I should have done more research. D:
Sorry. I chose Russia simply because it's a large, developed country where people would have the resources and motivation to employ extractors. She coulda been French, Brazilian, or Egyptian and it wouldn't have really mattered. It was just shorthand.

The Arthur/Cobb pairing is growing on me as well, but I basically just ship Arthur/Everyone.
