Writer's Block Must Die

Nicked from [livejournal.com profile] dreadly , because I need some muse kickstarting.

Leave three - five words in the comments below and I’ll write you a 100 word drabble (at least).

Please specify the pairing that you want! :D

So. Arthur/Eames, Ariadne/Yusuf (my genderbent versions of these first two are also allowed), Robert/Saito, Robert/Saito/Ariadne, Ariadne/Arthur/Eames, Cobb/Saito, Charles/Erik, Alex/Darwin, America/England, and Edward Seymour/Anne Stanhope.

I offer many options in hopes of more muse help.

options:
Adriane and Erik while working.

Adriene and Erik being awesome.

Clarification. You mean you want something with Ariadne from Inception and Erik from X-Men?

[identity profile] rodlox.livejournal.com 2011-07-01 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
yes, if that is allowable. if not, I will happily take something focusing on either of the two of them.

It would have to be AU, I think, but I might be able to do something about that. *ponders*

take your time and have fun.

apropos of nothing, when I walked home after First Class, I thought "yes, Cobb's mind tech would be a good system of defense against telepaths like Charles."

Cool meme! I might steal it.

Cobb/Saito
a violent stab of loneliness

Ariadne/Yusuf or genderbent A/Y
love is a banquet

Ariadne/Robert/Saito
"If they invent a car that runs on stupid jokes, you could go far."

Don't feel obligated to fill all of them. I just like making prompts.

It begins one night at the warehouse, when Cobb has been under for an hour - real time - trying to lock Mal away, losing himself in memories in the process.

The kick music begins, the song Mal chose, that she used to sing in the kitchen when she was trying to cook - Cobb did most of the cooking because except for a very few dishes, Mal couldn't, but she tried anyway.

Strange, how it's that which sends a pang of fresh grief through him, the memory of how she'd sing, right until something started to burn, and then she'd curse in French.

Standing up, he looks around and realizes he's not alone. Saito is in the shadows, watching him, and for a moment Cobb almost thinks he understands.

Wife and daughter killed in a car crash, can we use it?" Arthur had asked when it was Cobol employing them, and Saito was the target. Cobb had refused, unable to use a pain so like his own against anyone else. And now, meeting Saito's dark eyes, he's glad of it, because it makes it easier that the only person who understands how lost, how alone, he feels, is this man he hardly knows.

I would love to do the A/R/S one, but I can't think of any silly jokes, lol.

I love this, especially that throwaway line from Arthur. It's so workmanlike and insensitive- he's just there to get the job done. That makes the moment of understanding with Saito all the more poignant. Great drabble!
