It's been a while since I've read through this, but your writing is just as good as I remember. :) Keep going!
Amara Kingley chapter 12 . 7/30/2011
These chapters are so well written. There are many words though that are typed but shouldn't be there. Extra words or words replacing proper words. They take away from the story a bit. Otherwise very good writting. This is absolutely amazing! Can't wait for more!

I had to look back once I read the last couple sentences. And I can say that I literally gasped. Ohmigod! I had a feeling it was him once I found out who it was. I mean... Gosh that sick bastard... Now on to read the rest! :)

Oh god! That was so awful- made me cry, I swear to god! The way you described Arthur's loss was so perfect and heartbreaking. Wow this has downed my mood dramatically. Haha, but seriously, wonderfully written!

I was reading this on the train and had to fight to prevent tears from forming. That last part in particular is so heart wrenching.

There are many stories that hinge on the need one character feels to be close to a projection, staying in Limbo, but this story beings so much more emotion to that scenario. I am so involved in Arthur's grief at his wife's death, that him wanting to stay in the dream is a clear, obvious consequence of his longing for Regan, not just a plot device.

I wonder how this story will progress. I am quickly going to read on...

Pretty much the best f**king story ever. I think Arthur cries a little too much, but who knows? I've never had my spouse murdered before! I think your depictions of the characters are really accurate and the story is so enticing! Thanks for all your hard work!

When you say Anderson do you mean Swann? Or were there two? Idk! But OMG! Your story is so sad, but it's good and I like that Ariadne isn't this amazing girl that made him forget his wife. But I hope he'll find some peace.
RaleighStark chapter 1 . 8/24/2010
Just wanted to say great story, it's REALLY strange Reading this because my name is Regan and I don't hear it anywhere so it's weird :D
Efcia chapter 7 . 8/24/2010
I would never expect that I'll read story like that. Your Arthur... He scars me. Really. He seemed to be "normal" in year 2010 but when he called Ariadne his dead wife's name... And the picture of him sitting on the old couch and planning a murder. Brrr...

Nevertheless I think that your story become better with every new chapter. So just keep writing like this!
SeventhTatar chapter 7 . 8/24/2010
yeah, i figured Arthur would kill him. i think when Arthur accidentally called Ariadne Regan, i gasped. big oops on his part. that must have been terrible for him to realize he said that.
SeventhTatar chapter 6 . 8/23/2010
OH. NO. WOW. this is seriously the most horrific thing i've read. but it's somehow good too. i don't understand... it's so aweful and i keep wanting to make Arthur feel better, and bring Regan back to him. you are amazing at writing realistic scenarios. His grief is so palpable. and normally i love Arthur/Ariadne and get mad about OCs, but you have actually made me love your OC and want Arande to back off a bit. goodness. great job...whoooooo... update quick. i want Arthur to give Dr. Swann what he deserves, yet i don't want him to kill him...maybe. but i do, sorta. i don't want Arthur to become a murderer, but i don't want that creep to live. please update soon!

I knew I didn't like that doctor for a reason. Great chapter I love the twist.
Efcia chapter 6 . 8/21/2010
This story has ONLY five reviews? How is that possible? I mean it really deserves much more!

Of course the first thing I thought after reading this six chapters was: “It’s the saddest fanfiction for Inception I’ve ever read”. It’s kind of heartbreaking… And there is the point. You are showing us two kind of Arthur: the one, who just lost everything that matter and the one, who learned (at lest he seems to learned) how to live and is even able to steal a kiss from co-worker. I really liked that plot of this story happens in two different times. It’s made it simply better. After reading the first few chapter I had some sort of, let’s say, mixed feeling about this story. On one hand I liked. On the other- I didn’t. It was because I’m not much fan of melodrama and Regan’s death seemed to a little bit melodramatic. Another problem was that I didn’t exactly feel that I’m reading Inception fanfiction- all this events and even Arthur seems to be so far away from movie… But now, after reading the last chapter I really changing my mind. First of all I think you should keep this kind of narrative (when you put events from the past and future in one chapter and mixed them together) you used in this last chapter. It’s not only more interesting way to telling story, but also a kind of precaution from being too melodramatic. It gives readers chance to see Arthur from the movie and have a little break from all this sadness and sorrow.

Don’t think I don’t like your story! It’s not true! You put one of the movie’s character in completely different situation than most of fanfiction writers. We can see Arthur before he starts sharing dreams, but there is still no sign of Cobb or Mal. I quite sure that they will appear, but, even though I’ve got feelings that this story will be about dealing with past and the shadows of murder. The situation, you put Arthur in, it’s really an extreme. Of course I can have some complains (you know it’s seems just to much for me- rape, murder, and Regan’s pregnancy…), but still it’s a good and well-written story. First of all Arthur behavior- it’s seems real for me. I know that in many movies we can see that the main character (just after he lost everything) is strong and capable to do anything he want. In fact I don’t think that is possible (at least not in a case of most of the people). Your Arthur is totally broken and, because of that, he’s more real. He is broken, but not weak and that’s way I can believe your vision (it simply doesn’t interfere with the picture of Arthur from the movie).

But then again I have some complain. I’m talking about the way he find out that in his home is dr. Swann’s medical ring. I’m not really fan of that kind of, let’s say, solutions. I mean I don’t believe in some spiritual messages (I really have no idea how to put it in words). But just me and I don’t think it’s really matter. Why? Because this ring leads us to really (I hope so) interesting part of this story. I really have no idea what Arthur will do. If you decide that he committed a murder before meeting Cobb and joining the sharing dreams job that would be rather unique. Just as Matteic wrote- in most of the stories Arthur is “innocent” before meeting with Cobb.

And the last thing- present time in your story. In this part Arthur seems to be perfectly him. As for Ariadne… In the movie she is that kind of person, who will find out about all your greatest secrets and you won’t be able to be angry with her. So if there is anybody who would ask Arthur any question about past that is her. In this rather complicated way I’m trying to say that it seems to be perfectly Ariadne from the movie. Of course is nothing unique that Ariadne feels something for Arthur (as everybody knows most of the fics are about this couple), but there is nothing strange. I mean that Christopher Nolan (accidentally I presume) created a character that is so damn perfect that there is no way not to fall in love with him. Of course the way Joseph Gordon-Levitt looks in all this suits it’s not meaningless… But let’s go back to the story. Again it was my complicated way to tell that I thinks that is possible for Ariadne to has some feelings toward Arthur, so no complains about it from my side.

Just keep writing in the way you wrote the last chapter and that would be great!

I hope that you’ll understand anything from this review… I’m afraid that it could be difficult to find out what I’m talking about most of the time… As an explanation I can say I wrote it in 3 o’clock in the night…

I’m looking forward for next chapter!
Matteic chapter 6 . 8/21/2010
What do you mean, the police don't know ?

*thinks for about an half-second*

Well, as long as Arthur kills him (I wasn't even able to read the scene...), it's okay, I guess. Make him suffer. No, not Arthur.

If he kills him, it will be the first fic I read where Arthur committed murder before working for Cobb ;)
