Coworkers to lovers, is that possible? A look in on Ariadne and Arthur during their journey in and out and in and out of different phases of friendship and love. It's definitely not an easy road but it's worth it. Several jobs and several characters but centered completely on our two favorites.

It's been a few years and a lot has changed. Logan is a writer who turns to the bottle a little more than anyone should. Veronica is a starving artist in an abusive relationship. Will they be able to free each other from their demons?

Alana Bloom understands darkness well, so she's fully aware of the fact that Will Graham is bad for her. So, so bad.

Will's heart catches as he realizes they are at cross purposes, each trying to prove opposing points: Will, that he is a monster; Alana, that he isn't. For a second his chest aches, and he thinks, Not now. Not like this. But then his eyes fall on the cut on her cheek, and he remembers that this is the only way it can be, that he has rendered all other options impossible. Post 1x11

Will flirtatiously changes the subject; Alana finds a way to get them back on topic. Will/Alana...kind of.

"Why do you think he let me meet Cobb?" Her words washed over you in a daze. "After what happened to him, Miles wasn't going to lead anyone else down that path. He didn't want to see anyone else ruined by it." There's more to why Miles allowed Ariadne into business with thieves, and there's more to why she wouldn't want to be with Arthur.

'And no need to worry, that's wasting time. And no need to wonder what's been on my mind – it's you.' - They'd finally felt like them again, with the laughing and teasing – nothing hanging over them anymore. It feels like them, but better (stronger).

She's always been the one to care more, to love effortlessly with little thought. Things are different this time; Nick is her best friend and there is more at stake, more to lose, and she's really not sure what her life would look like without him in it. As hard as she tries, she can't picture it. It's this thought that breaks her out of her numbness.

"I'm not usually one to take a guy back on the first date" she looked over at him and shot him a sly smile ... My hope for the upcoming 'First Date' episode - Ness

Missing moments from Chicago. Nick can't sleep- cue Jess being there for him in any way she can.

So the thing is, she's pregnant. (Future-fic, spoilers up to 2x20 "Chicago")

"Love is a temple. Love, the higher law. I asked you to enter and then I made you crawl." -One covered by Damien Rice. Arthur and Ariadne: whatever they have is like the waves of limbo. Pushing, pulling. Rising, crashing. Refreshing them yet drowning them. And how fitting that Ariadne is the only one of them that's experienced those waves firsthand.

An instruction manual. Jess/Nick.

Lizzie Bennet Diaries Fandom. The sound of the band playing indoors comes out muffled in the dark and Lizzie breathes deeply and braces herself against the cold enjoying the present company "It's nice" she declares, but is not referring to the view. "Yes, it is" and she doesn't have a clue to what is he alluding either. - Six and a half weeks that Lizzie spends at Pemberley

A long time ago, Arthur wasn't Arthur. Arthur used to be a boy named Neil, who had blue eyes and a Southern American accent and messy hair. He used to know this girl named Wendy, and this boy named Eric, and another boy named Brian. He used to be a teenage prostitute, a rent boy, and he used to be a molestation victim. Mysterious Skin, written for a forgotten prompt. Minor A/E

or: four times Lizzie notices Darcy's hands. [Lizzie Bennet Diaries]

A couple of ficlets. One sort of inspired by Looper, the other inspired by a "disheveled" JGL.

They should have listened when Arthur said he hadn't felt good about the job. Quick songfic - hope you enjoy :)

After Nick's difficult breakup with Julia, he enters into a Tom-Waits playing marathon that has his roommates concerned. Jess is the one chosen to go in and check on him.

Nick/Jess. "You hadn't realized it before, but you have lived a life in grayscale before you met her – and now here she is, coloring in your insides with her rainbow markers, her radiant lightness, and inexplicably you know that you are never going to be the same again."

What if Arthur was not always such a gentleman? What if Ariadne was even more stubborn and challenging? What if neither of them wanted to face the chemistry between them? A glimpse of the darker side to Arthur and Ariadne.

Set during season one-A hostage situation at a school for the Deaf brings back an old friend for Reid. Can he let go of a past hurt to save her? Reid/OC. Will start from season one to current season

"Was she really beautiful? Was she at least what they call attractive? She was exasperation, she was torture." –Nabokov. Sequel to Curio Girl. Gift Fic for ScarlettWoman710.

A series of chapters based upon meanings of words in various languages, all sourced from 'The Meaning of Tingo' Slightly Arthur and Ariadne oriented.

It seemed almost ritual now. No matter the situation or the dream or the dreamer, he would casually turn to her, face all business, and said it, "Quick give me a kiss." And she'd obey, strictly because it was her part of the tradition and nothing more.

"She had had the air of remoteness that children, especially impish children, retain for some time after brushing through death" –Nabokov

Ariadne has tried to forget the pure creation of the dream world and content herself with her studies, but once you've been involved in something as singular as an inception, you become a commodity. One that some people wouldn't mind killing for.

They can't keep doing this. They can't be like Dom and Mal. He can't lose her. A/A, the exploration of a very physical relationship.

**Canceled** Three years later. The Fisher job lingers in Arthur's memories. His work has put him in contact with old 'friends', but there's one he hasn't seen. A new job, ordered by Saito, might change that. A/A. Chapter 11: Door Number Two

She let him put his lips anywhere he wanted, mouth tender and eager. The journey of A/A from co-workers to friends to more. Inspired by some songs on the Florence and the Machine album Lungs. Not a song fic.

They were drawn to each other; inexplicably. Becoming closer with every deft touch. Every movement completely in synch. Electrified. Powerful.

Ariadne cannot remember a time in which she did not experiment with shapes, styles and colors. Post-movie, Ariadne-introspective, not romantic, exactly, but heavy on the A/A

That's what it came down to. Spencer. Standing in his driveway. At midnight. Totally and completely scared. She hated being scared.

Five items of jewelry he gave her. Yet another old Arthur/Ariadne prompt from the inception kink community.

Gravity is not responsible for people falling in love. ArthurAriadne.

Eames wanted to pull a prank on Arthur. The poor Point Man was tired and didn't know what was coming for him. Oneshot

Five things he does that make her smile, and one thing she does that makes him smile. The companion to Let Me Count the Ways. Also a prompt on inception kink.

Careful the ones who twist and blur the edges of reality, for they will blur into each other as well. Arthur/Ariadne.

Prompt #3: For the first time ever, Arthur was glad he continuously broke his number one rule: don't think about Ariadne. Ariadne&Arthur

The problem with inception is that an idea is like a virus, even when it's an idea that someone else gives you. Ariadne/Arthur, post movie

Arthur and Ariadne love to taunt each other.

"Arthur, is this a date or a job interview?" Ariadne still has a few questions once they arrive at the airport, job complete.

"Remember, Ariadne. Even the subconscious can never defeat emotions."

Ariadne wants Arthur to make the ultimate choice.

Arthur thanks the man that saved his life, the first person that realized that he could be more. Cobb/Arthur Not slash Rated M for language and drug use

It happens in another warehouse, a few jobs later. Arthur/Ariadne smut.

"He smells like cigarettes and tastes like wine, and she realizes that's all she really wants." Ariadne/Arthur, A/A. Inception one-shot. Rated T for adult situations.

Five things she does that always make him smile. And one thing that he does that makes her smile. Arthur/Ariadne for kore rising because I promised her nice long fluffy fic, and only nailed the 'long'.

Just smut. PWP

Five strange places someone else found items of their underwear. Arthur/Ariadne done for a prompt on inception kink. Naturally, sexytiems are involved.

Straight-line mazes are the easiest to figure out; circular mazes are much more difficult. But when it comes to her, he relishes the challenge. He was never the type to just settle for the easier path anyway. Arthur/Ariadne

Post-movie. The aftermath of the situation isn't something she'll allude easily to. And really, diving into his proposal, what exactly made her think this would be a good idea?

"For all his efficiency, his timing is terrible." Post-Movie. Five times Arthur and Ariadne might have been on a date.

Later, when Cobb asks him how it went, Arthur tells him to shove it.

Sweet, simple moments between Arthur and Ariadne. Updated! Now with dialogue, and they make out! Yay!

He finds her in Cairo, after. He doesn't tell her that he's spent the better part of three months tracking her down, doesn't tell her that he had assumed she would turn around and fly to Paris

She is not left waiting when he leaves, but it's not the same as saying she doesn't note the absence. Post-Movie: Arthur/Ariadne

Arthur. From the beginning, his connections collapsed and ripped him apart. And then there was her.

There was a permanent fixture in the dreams now, one she could neither construct nor wish away, even had she wanted. Arthur was there, and at times she wondered who was helping whom more.

She may have found him in a dream, but now he is her reality.

Collection of Penelope drabbles written when the mood strikes me. Penelope/Johnny or Max, whichever you prefer . First five: Natural, Caress, Slice, Music, Rain.

The gentle warmth of soft fingers running the knuckles of his hands, slowly adding pressure, drawing him deeper into the moment. [Johnny-centre/drabble]

Canon het: details inside. Post-film ficlet.

He's drowning in Veronica Mars. He's dying in her too.At the same time, the only thing he wants is her, but that may not be in the cards.
