Never finished all ten, but here are the six I did manage.
Ribbons Undone, Tori Amos
Ariadne/Cobb
She doesn't do it on purpose- doesn't mean to fall for the only man there who wouldn't give her the time of day. It could have been Arthur- Arthur with his cold eyes and surprisingly gentle kiss. Or Eames, all accent and stubble and one night stands. But no… it's him, Peter Pan. The man in love with his own shadow.
She runs. She always has. On her school track team. In the middle of the night when she can't sleep. To Paris, when Minnesota is unbearable. It's nostalgic somehow, like she can still feel her skirts and pigtails and ribbons bouncing smoothly against her skin, soft as a lover's touch.
She runs for him… from him, to him. Doesn't know if she wants him to catch her up in his arms and hold her like a little girl, or carry her to bed like a woman. Doesn't matter, she knows- Dominic Cobb won't do either. Won't brush her hair into pigtails or slowly unbutton her blouse. Won't bring her flowers, daisies or roses.
Still, she runs for him.
