Title: Siberia (When Will It Rain)

Arthur doesn't build because he can't. His subconscious is empty with snow and ice and howling wind with his heart buried deep under age old ice. And then, Eames makes it rain.

This is beautiful. The imagery is so strong, and the tone so starkly painful...loved it.

Thank you again!! haha
I don't write fics as often, and with all the talented writers in the fandom (holy cow there's a lot), I'm more than happy to just provide fanart. But I'm glad you like the fic, it means a lot to me.
I'll be putting up some original art soon and I'll be honoured if you can take a look!

Lyrical, evocative, poetic. I love your examination of Arthur's complexities and how tenderly you expose his vulnerabilities.

Beautiful.

Aww... you flatter me so~~
I'm glad the vulnerability came across, because I wrote this, as I said, on a pretty bad day and there just are times you feel nothing is working and I'm just selfishly imposing that on Arthur, haha
But I feel much better after writing this, and I'm sure Arthur will be melted sooner or later ^_^

Wow, what an impressive piece of writing. Lovely imagery, beautifully layered progression, and a comfortable pace. Depression is difficult to articulate, difficult to represent in new ways, but this evoked that headspace perfectly.

Thank you for the beautiful comment~~ I'm moved.
I'm quite humble about my writing, because there are so many truly amazing authors in this fandom and I pretty much worship them. On the flip side, I'm much more confident in my fanart and I hope you'll take a look if you have the time!

But I'm glad you like this piece, and it certainly made me feel better in the "real world" after writing it.

I seriously love how haunting and stark this is. I'm so glad you posted this cause I'm running off to mem it!

xxdoublexx November 7 2010, 02:32:50 UTC

I'm blushing because you're flattering me too much~~ >.<
It's not that I'm humble, but seriously there's so much AMAZING stuff out there in this fandom I can't even begin!
But I'm glad you like it! Thank you :)

Oh honey, what I'm saying is I think this fic is just as amazing. And I know some people don't like haunting fics but me and angst are best friends so I always love when others write it. And I wouldn't be lying if I said I'm a little jealous I didn't write this!
