Disclaimer: Inception is Christopher Nolan's… And last time I checked, that wasn't me.

Important A/N: I've decided to make this a collection. Meaning, other authors (that's YOU) can submit chapters! Just little oneshots, of course, that fit the guidelines…. (Inception, non-M rated, and pairings if any, will be Arthur/Ariadne, Dom/Mal, or Dom/O.C… Just pm me, and I'll add you in my connections so you can send it to me, enjoy!)


He still, to this day,

remembered the day

he met her.

And it's like a movie

playing over and over

and over again in his

head, and he can't

escape.

Looking for an extractor

to work with. He went to

his mentor, Stephen Miles.

He wishes he could

forget. Wishes he could

let go of the memory.

Let go of her.

He walks in to his classroom,

and he's talking to a woman.

He introduces her as his daughter,

explains that she is

an extractor, seeking work

with an architect.

'Well', he remembers saying,

'it's a perfect fit. I'm an architect,

searching for an extractor.'

She smiles up at him.

Introducing herself

as Mallorie Miles, 'Call me

Mal.'

And the memory hurts. It

stings and burns as

she smiles. It's been so long

since he's seen her. Even

longer since he's seen her

truly happy.

"Dominic Cobb.

Call me Dom." They shook

hands, neither knowing what

would happen because of it.

They'd started an avalanche.

Set into motion a chain

of events neither could

have predicted.

Sometimes he wonders

if, given the chance to change

things, if he would go back, and

sacrifice their love for her life.

But he's finally moved

on. Finally let go.
