Wow, that was so good. You did a fantastic job blending in the elements of the performances into a story that yielded some fantastic characterization that really works with what we learned from the movie. Ariadne and Robert were especially spot-on, I think, and the life and past you built for Arthur and Eames was fantastic. All the interactions really rung true, and the different point of views were totally seamless. I really enjoyed this fic, awesome job!

Thanks very much! Glad you liked Robert especially, as I've never written him before so it was a bit experimental for me. xx

OH MY GOD! I was so disappointed when that fill was apparently abandoned. I am so happy to see that it got finished! I will be back in a jiff to read all of this assuredly lovely fic:D

Ok, have read now, and OH LORD!! I loved it even more than I thought I would. Which is saying something! You are just so excellent with words. I legitimately started squeaking and flailing when I read that first little section about Arthur and Eames being ex-Interpol. I just loved every part of it so freaking much, and I wish I had something more concrete to say, but I can't really think right now. I will probably be re-reading this one quite a few times. You are amazing, darling! ♥

Thanks so much! Really glad someone who saw the original followed it here. Felt massively guilty for abandoning. :S xx

This is beautiful! I love the sense of family you've built up, and the artcles at the end were a nice touch.

It's been ages since I last went to the circus but this brought all the memories back. You've captured the wonder and whimsy that I remember and I really, really enjoyed this story.

And your descriptions! Together, they were the crosshairs of a gun, or security effortlessly covering both the front and back exits of the building or dancers twirling in opposite directions at exactly the same pace.

like they’re sharing the same dream and every twitch of Eames’ body is a language only Arthur knows

So gorgeous. :)
