This.

Your descriptions and imagery are absolutely amazing, and your characterization is just guh. ♥

Tucking this away into my memories! Thank you so much for sharing!

[iri_descent]

Oh, goodness. Are you kidding - thank you so much for such a delightful comment. I'm thrilled/embarrassed beyond words right now.
Thank you for reading :D

[cathenian]

This piece is utterly stunning! The character's are so well done and the memories are so well placed that this fill is in a league of its own.

[iri_descent]

Oh my word, that's far too kind a compliment, you flatterer :) I'm blushing and grinning like a loon right now. I don't even know what to say but thank you so very much for reading and taking the time to comment.

[cathenian]

I'm glad that you took the comment so well and that it made you 'grin like a loon'. Goal of the day: Accomplished!

Honestly, this story was so beautiful and I'm not being a flatterer; just giving you the Gods honest truth. It seems that I had to come back, just to read this story again and grin while doing it. I'm smitten with this piece dove. Now, here's my thanks to you: Thank you for writing such a brilliant piece that can be put into the memories to read again later (again and again and again).

Haha, I don't see how that comment could not be taken well :) And you certainly did accomplish your goal superbly - all these lovely comments made my day.

At the risk of sounding redundant, I'm going to say thank you again and you're very welcome and gahhh, people are so nice, I don't know what to do.

I'm delighted that you liked this enough to come back and read it again! That's possibly the best feedback ever, really, to receive about a story. Thank you :)

God, how much do I love this? The rawness of Arthur's emotions, kept bottled up but still very obvious to Eames, it's almost desperate, I'm glad Eames didn't let go.

[iri_descent]

I'm glad Eames didn't let go.
You and me both. I tend to just end up writing angst with this pairing so it's a relief to have a somewhat bittersweet ending once in a while.
Thank you so much for reading :D

:D

Loved it in the kink!meme, still love it here! Thank you so much for writing it, and now that you're an actual person may I just say, I would love to bear your children. And then, maybe, make cookies. :)

Hello there, oh wonderful prompter *waves*
Nice to meet you, I guess? Nice work tracking me down, haha. What a ninja you are. Oh, hell, who would ever say no to cookies and children?! You've found my weaknesses in one hit :)
Seriously dude, I enjoyed writing this so much that I am really quite grateful to you and your brilliant prompt. So thank you too :)

Ps. Just to be efficient and continue the kink meme conversation:
I've never tried my hand at Inception-verse fics, and after reading such wonderful things like what you did here, I'm actually a little afraid to try.
Noooooo!! Please, don't think that way! Write, write, write, by all means (intended in a non-pushy way). I was the same, but a few months ago Arthur and Eames honestly took over my brain and have spoiled me for life. I'm hopelessly obsessed :/

So when people fill my prompts I get this little burst of joy that the story exists, you know?
YES, omg. What an excellent way to put it. It is a little sad though, thinking of all the unfilled prompts with potential out there

Oh, I like to stalk this community, so I saw you post and said OMG!!! ;) My ninja skills are based more on luck than talent, lol.

I am hopelessly obsessed with Supernatural and Good Omens, lol. So far they're the only ones I write in. Though I am tempted to start looking at some of my prompts and actually writing them like a good person, lol.

Unfilled prompts make me sad, but I honestly suck at working the kink!meme, as was evident with this and me losing the thread, so I usually put a prompt and then wait for the glorious day when the anon posts it here.

If I do decide to write something, I'll probably come over to you and say OMG LOOK LOOK!! And then I'll use that time to hand over the babies... and the cookies....

Re: :D :D :D :D :D (warning for excessively long, flaily comment)

[iri_descent]

Haha, well, luck or otherwise - you should still claim those ninja skills. I would :D

Ohhh! Supernatural!! I obsessively watched seasons 1-5 over Christmas break and it was seriously the BEST THING EVER. I do miss the good old days of just the two boys and roadtripping it about in the Impala (my dream car, srsly) but it'll be interesting to see where the show goes. I've never read anything by either Pratchett or Gaiman but have a feeling I'd like their work. I need to start reading for fun again.

When I see neglected prompts, I desperately wish I had the chops to fill them because some are just too awesome for words. But yeah, having other people fill your prompts must be a glorious feeling :)

Ohh! By all means, please do show/tell me if you ever do write. I'll probably make embarrassing little gleeful crooning noises over it forever.

Ps. Have any of your other prompts been filled, that you know of? I remember thinking I'd like to read them too.

[clair3]

beautifully written!

[iri_descent]

Thank you :D
