I'm watching Inception again right now for the first time in weeks and weeks. (Okay, so maybe it's only actually been like 2.5 weeks since the last time I saw it. DETAILS.)
In any case. Basically. This post is just to say that![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mami_san WINS THE FUCKING INTERNETS FOREVER AND EVER. AND EVER.
Her Arthur-centric fic The Music Makers is SO FUCKING ON-TARGET for Arthur and Eames, and Cobb even. JESUS FUCKING CHRIST. If it wasn't already my personal canon, it would be now. Watching the movie, all I can think of is YES. THIS IS HOW THEY GOT HERE. THIS IS EXACTLY HOW THEY CAME TO BE.
If you're open to an origin story for Arthur and Eames that is so fucking good I don't want the gen (as in, no slash) to end (and it still hasn't, really, as of chapter 9 out of ?) PLEASE GO READ IT RIGHT NOW. It follows the canon story, which Nolan has indicated in interviews &c (that they both have military backgrounds and were rivals of a sort). IT WILL BE WORTH IT. I ASSURE YOU. It's gritty, creative, well-researched, well thought-out, well written, realistic, believable. It's unfinished as of yet, but it's so good that even if she never finished it from this point on IT WOULD STILL HAVE BEEN WORTH IT.
HOW IS SHE SO GOOD? HOW DOES SHE KNOW THEM SO WELL?
I POSIT THAT SHE KNOWS THEM IRL.
OHMYGOD.
Now back to our regularly scheduled programming.
