Summary
Ariadne’s mother used to say that your twenties are a time for obsession; that the crucible of early adulthood makes friendships more intense than any love affair. She’s fairly sure her mother didn’t mean international jet-setting criminals, but she thinks she might be a bit in love with Arthur and Eames anyway.

Summary
There are no monsters, mutants, or war. Robots do not stand as gladiators against the test of Man. Warriors do not drift together - close in thought and will and action.
There’s just a hole in the desert. And it grows.

Summary
“You ever think there’s something out there?” Newton says casually, his eyes tracing the shape of Canis Major.
“Newton, we work in a department called Speculative Xenomorphology and Theoretical Dimensional Travel.”
“Yeah? So?”
or, Newt and Hermann work at a government agency in 1959. expect aliens, descriptions of sand, and pining. loosely inspired by wes anderson's asteroid city.

Summary
One simple idea that changes everything: Ariadne, as Cobb sees her - the red-wearing maze designer and Cobb-unraveler - is almost too good to be true. That's because she isn't. True, that is; she's definitely, DEFINITELY good. When her thesis adviser Dr. Stephen Miles puts her in the way of a VERY interesting opportunity (for the low, low price of just one fake ID), Ari decides to go for it and winds up neck-deep in stuff she never knew existed.
When this is finished, she’s going to learn to wear a suit like Arthur, tell a lie like Eames, network like Yusuf, and pull perhaps two per cent of Saito’s annual income over her first five years post-doctorate. She's hung the rest of her life on this job, so she may as well get some off-resume skills out of it.
