    Summary

    One simple idea that changes everything: Ariadne, audience avatar, is a plant. Dr. Stephen Miles places her - a twenty-six-year-old architecture student and polymath - on Cobb's radar as insurance, security, backup, and (of course) builder.

    She thinks she's ready for dreamshare, based on what she's read.

    Yeah, not even close.

    (Canon-compliant, insofar as interpolating an entire new plotline and spinning the perspective can be considered "compliance".)

    The Ariadne novel I didn’t know I needed. Brilliant characterizations and deep dive plot.

    Summary

    “What can I do for you, love?” the barista asks, at the same time that Arthur gets out a choked, “It’s you.”

    -----

    Or, a lonely heart walks into a coffee shop.

    Masterful. Lulls with Barista! Coffee shop! trope. I re-read immediately. Character insights that are revising my head canon. Phrases to carry, like “… Arthur’s worked hard to caulk and seal the places where he tends to be porous to other people’s moods….”
    Delighted to find this fandom alive with brilliant writing!

    Summary

    "Most people just pick whatever flower they think is prettiest. It doesn’t require a lot of input from me.”

    The man walks up to Q, leaning against the counter between them. “Well then, what can I do to get your input?”

     (In which Q runs a flower shop, and his newest regular is almost definitely a spy.)

    Summary

    It's not that Arthur doesn't enjoy his boring job (because he does), and it's not that Arthur doesn't have hobbies (because he does), and it's not that Arthur doesn't experience a surprising number of romantic prospects cropping up (because he does); it's just that he's not happy for no reason, and he can't stop texting his tailor.
