Little does Eames know Arthur can fall asleep that fast only when he is next to the forger. It takes him nearly an hour normally.

Cobb knows better.

Robert Fischer x Cobbs Daughter!reader

*COMPLETED*

*This will follow the plot of the 2010 film 'Inception'*

description - Y/n, the daughter of the thief Dominic Cobb and the late Mal Cobb, joined her father on the run. Knowing her fathers innocence, she couldn't bear to be without him, so she gave up on her architecture degree and followed him into the world of dreams. They do jobs together and, even though Cobb worries about the amount of danger he's putting her in, he'd rather her be with him in the dreams rather than on the outside carrying his name like a brand. In the latest job they are given, Cobb searches to find peace and Y/n is confronted with a man who tugs on her heart and infiltrates her dreams.

a/n - welcome to my first multi-chapter fic and it is with a character from the talented Cillian Murphy! I watched Oppenheimer the other day, so I've been rewatching his filmography and I obviously came back to Inception. Inception is hands down my favourite film and I think it was this performance that put Cillian on the map as an actor of tremendous talent!

a/n 2 - each chapter will have it's own warnings but the general ones are SPOILERS! (also should there be a taglist for this?)

I ADORE the trope where Eames and Cobb are at odds and it all boils down to Arthur. The former worrying about Arthur’s unwavering loyalty to the latter (loyalty that is often exploited), and the latter’s concern that the former is not good enough for Arthur. Oh the way these two are antagonistic towards each other (canonically, may I add) and the headcanon that it’s all out of protectiveness for their darling boy…mm chef’s fucking kiss

Like a ten year old child desperate to show off their less than mediocre rendition of hot cross buns on the recorder, Dom Cobb once again suggests the Mr Charles gambit

@inception30daychallenge Day 3: A post-canon headcanon

Arthur and Dom don't speak to each other for a significant period of time. I think Arthur built up a lot of hurt and resentment during the period between Mal's death and the Fischer job, and very forcefully shoved it down out of a sense of loyalty and duty to Dom. Dom needed someone there to keep him afloat in the direct aftermath of Mal's death and then to help him try to find a way home, and- in Arthur's mind- those things took precedent over Arthur's own grief and hurt. Over time, though, I think the stress of managing his own grief and loss without much support and the stress and resentment of having to clean up Dom's messes would have built up, and the Fischer job was simply the straw that broke the camel's back. Getting roped into a dangerous job that wasn't likely to be successful in the first place. Being lied to about just how dangerous it actually was. And the catharsis of Dom finally returning home afterward allowing the increasing weight to finally be lifted off of Arthur's back. I think that would finally push all the emotions Arthur's been shoving down back up to the surface in a very forceful way that Arthur doesn't really have the option to ignore.

It's not permanent. Arthur, for as hurt and tired as he is, does genuinely care about Dom and knows that Dom, for all his faults, does genuinely care about him in return. And I think as Dom readjusts to being back home, he starts to process and recognize what the past few years did- what he did- to Arthur. Arthur's keeps tabs on the kids for a while, mostly through Miles, and Dom respects Arthur's need for time and space to process his own feelings while also making it clear that he'll be there if and when Arthur decides to reach out again. And it thinks it ultimately takes about 6 months before Arthur's in a place to do that.

It's slow at first, and different. Things never go back to how they used to be, but they do get better. I don't think Arthur ever trusts Dom the way he used to and is never able to fully open up to him the way he might once have. They talk though. And it's not perfect, it never will be, but it's something

I thought this would be a good time to add another one to this silly little series today for the day 16 of @inception30daychallenge 😁

a/n - this is going to be multiple parts as I thought that would be preferable to a 20k fic. So let me know what you think! Also should I make a taglist for this???? (it's my first time doing a multi-chapter so I don't really know :)

description - y/n, the daughter of the thief Dominic Cobb and the late Mal Cobb, joined her father on the run. Knowing her fathers innocence, she couldn't bear to be without him, so she gave up on her architecture degree and followed him into the world of dreams.

In the latest job they are given, Cobb finds peace and Y/n finds her one true love.

warnings - angst, dream infiltrating, incepting an idea into someones mind (which comes with it's own ethical qualms), mentions of death, creepy men.

Some thought I was stupid. Following my father into a life of crime. Every day my life was threatened and every day I felt unsafe in my skin. But I couldn’t let my father go. I knew mom hadn’t been well since they woke from their dream.

Dad had told me they’d been stuck for 50 years and I suddenly realised how muddled my mom had become. So I knew there was no way he’d killed her that night. She’d wanted to wake up and she wanted him to come with her.

So I followed my dad because I’d rather be a criminal than be without him. Some thought my father was stupid for letting me follow. But truth was, he wanted me with him as well. We couldn’t see James and Philippa so we settled for the family we had left. Us two.

-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-

The clock’s hands on my watch reached 30. I hurriedly placed the headphones onto Nash’s head and began the music.

Arthur woke up first as the sedative wore off. He told me that Saito had figured it out and we needed to disappear. I helped him with the others. Seconds later Nash and dad woke up in succession.

“How did you mess up the carpet?”

“I didn’t know he was going to rub his face on it.” I rolled my eyes at his incompetency.

“You always have to expect them to do the unexpected!” I voiced my concerns.

“Oh yeah how about you go down there with us instead of judging from up here!”

“I’ve been in dreams longer than you’ve been alive my friend.” I smirked at him but felt him sidle up to my ear and whisper. “I’d have you on the carpet.” He was roughly shoved back by Arthur. In the years of him working with my dad, Arthur had practically become my protector and he looked out for me at every turn.  He glared at Nash in warning and jerked his head towards where my dad was packing up. Arthur could handle him on his own but he relished in the fear that spread across his eyes.

I helped my dad pack up the case and took the hand he offered me as he led me down the bullet train.

-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-

I joined dad in his hotel room with Arthur and we prepared to leave. We only stayed in the same room in very dire circumstances as dad believed I was safer far from him. Or because he felt safer alone.

When I entered, I noticed the spinning top.

Mom.

Dad followed my eyes and then looked down ashamed. I knew what he was doing. He was hanging on the balance of dream and reality, convincing himself that mom was wrong.

-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-

We three came to the rooftop, ready to fly away from this mess. But the closer we got, we noticed Nash slumped, bloody and bruised. Suddenly Saito appeared from the other side.

“He sold you out, in exchange for my sparing of his life.” Of course, it would be him! I tried to appear angry but I felt nothing. Our lives would be over soon.

Saito offered my father a gun but he declined saying that he doesn’t handle things that way. As Nash was dragged out of the helicopter we were invited to take our seats. I followed nervously.

“What will you do with him?”

“Nothing, but I can’t speak for Cobal engineering.” Ice ran down my spine, understanding the fate we narrowly avoided. Dad grasped my shaking hands.

“What do you want from us?”

“Inception. Is it possible?” Dad tensed and tightened his grip on my hands.

“Of course not!” Arthur answered.

“If you can steal an idea from someone’s mind, why can’t you plant one instead.”

“Okay, here’s me planting an idea in your mind. I say, ‘don’t think about elephants’, what do you think about?”

“Elephants.”

“Right but it wasn’t your idea. Because you know I gave it to you.”

I jumped in to assist. “The subjects mind can always trace the genesis of the idea, true inspiration is impossible to fake.”

My dad softly whispered beside me, and I managed to make out his disagreement with mine and Arthur’s points.

“Can you do it?” Saito smirked.

“Are you offering me a choice? Cause I can find my own way to square things with Cobal.”

“Then you have a choice.”

“Then I choose to leave, sir.”

“You want to take that risk? You want her to take that risk?” His piercing eyes lifted to mine and I felt my dad’s palms sweat at the thought of me in danger. He knew Cobal engineering would not even spare his daughter.

We landed outside of a private jet and I jumped out first ready to leave. I was enchanted by the scale of the jet but my happiness was short lived when I remembered who I was and what was going to happen, once again. Arthur and Dad joined my stride but we were halted by Saito’s voice. A final plea.

“How would you like to go home.” No. How dare he taunt us like that. There was nothing I wanted more than to go home with my dad and he chooses to dangle that freedom in front of us like a donkey with a carrot!

“Can’t fix that! No one can!”

“Just like Inception.” I don’t know if it was the sincerity in his voice but I chose to shuck off Arthur’s hand on my arm and walk back towards the helicopter.

“You’re serious. Aren’t you? Well how complex is the idea.”

"y/n what are you doing?"

“Simple enough.”

I scoffed. “No idea is simple enough if you have to plant it in someone’s mind.”

“My main competitor is an old man in poor health. His son will soon inherit his father’s business. I need him to decide to break up his father’s empire.” A business deal. Did I expect anything less. At least we could remove emotions from it. Simple and transactional.

My father joined the discussion. “If I did this-If I even could do this.” He grabbed my hand. “We’d need a guarantee. How do I know you can deliver?”

“You don’t! But I can. So, do you want to take a leap of faith?”

I shivered hearing my mother’s words pour out of this man’s mouth.

“Or become an old man, filled with regret?”

Dad lowered his head into a gentle nod.

“Assemble your team Mr Cobb, and choose your people more wisely.” The helicopter doors closed and up it went. In a daze I followed them onto the jet and sat down, silent.

“Look, I know how much you two want to go home--”

“No. Arthur, you don’t.” The first words I’d said in over an hour. I punctuated them by standing up and locking myself in the bathroom. Dad’s fingers brushed mine as I left in a brazen attempt to stop me.

As I sat there I thought back on my life, specifically the before. Pictures and films of our happy family danced through my head and I cried. I cried for the first time since we’d left that day. Since I’d hugged my baby siblings goodbye and promised them I’d be back soon. I cried thinking there might be a way. This was our chance.

I splashed water on my face and made my way back out with a fresh smile. I rested my arm on my dad’s shoulder.

“we’re doing this.” I announced. “I know, sweetie.”

I relaxed back into my seat, assured in our choice but nervous of the outcome. “So, where to now.”

“Paris. We need another architect.”

I watched a new (old) movie and am so normal (obsessed) about it: WIP

Anyways, is the Inception fandom dead dead, or are there pockets of survivors I can flee to?

If anyone has heard tell of an active Inception community please let me into your cool club I have so many -thoughts-

To all of my returning peeps/mutuals - bet you never expected a non-Hobbit related post! Get got, I guess. Regularly schedule Hobbit content will continue, I swear.

underrated character from inception

This character is underrated, at least that's what I think

Like? Look at this man?

Arthur freaking Freeman is not only a good character that pushes the story narrative and is active, but is interesting as a character. He's very intelligent, very organized and grounded. He's the opposite of Cobb and despite respecting him, he won't hesitate to call him out whenever he's wrong or reckless.

He even invented his own freaking kick? To get out of the dream?

He's the point man. He's supposed to research his targets. That takes a lot of time and effort and it risks getting caught. But he does it so flawlessly? WITHOUT GETTING CAUGHT?

And he's adaptive too. Whenever things go wrong he's quick to improvise and form a detailed plan.

I love his humanistic side too? Like, he seems cold and stoic when he's not, just focused on his job? Trying to give Cobb advice or reassurance even when he was yelled at? The romantic tension between him and Ariadne, the freaking witty quips between him, Eames or Yusurf? Him being frantic when gunshots ensured during the car chase and making sure EVERYONE'S okay? AND HE HAS HIS OWN INTERESTS TOO. MANS IS EXPENSIVE HE LIKES SWANKY HOTELS AND LAVISH THINGS.

I have a big crush on this man and it keeps getting worse.

Side note:

Pfft —

LOOK AT THIS SCENE. JUST EAMES BEING HELLA PETTY AND ARTHUR’S GLARING AT HIM. THEY ACT LIKE SUCH A MARRIED OLD COUPLE I SWEAR-
