Ghost of a Rose: Part One

Title: Ghost of a Rose
Fandom: Inception
Rating: R, for language.
Pairings: one-sided Arthur/Cobb/Mal, Arthur/Cobb (after a fashion), Ariadne/Eames, Ariadne/Arthur/Eames
Summary: In which there is more than one way to be the abandoned half of a whole, and it's just as wrenching even when the bonds are different. Or, Cobb's not the only one with a Shade.
Author's Note: Um... Yeah. So, this began as an exercise in seeing if it was possible to write a non-psychotic shade, and it turned into something that's partly that, part character study, and... I'm not sure what else? Also, this is my longest oneshot (well, it was supposed to be a oneshot...) to date.
