You're waiting for a train...(1)
A Leap of Faith
Robert Fischer x Cobbs Daughter!reader
a/n - this is going to be multiple parts as I thought that would be preferable to a 20k fic. So let me know what you think! Also should I make a taglist for this???? (it's my first time doing a multi-chapter so I don't really know :)
description - y/n, the daughter of the thief Dominic Cobb and the late Mal Cobb, joined her father on the run. Knowing her fathers innocence, she couldn't bear to be without him, so she gave up on her architecture degree and followed him into the world of dreams. They do jobs together and, even though Cobb worries about the amount of danger he's putting her in he'd rather her be with him in the dreams rather than on the outside with his name like a brand. In the latest job they are given, Cobb finds peace and Y/n finds her one true love.
*reader is 20*
warnings - angst, dream infiltrating, incepting an idea into someones mind (which comes with it's own ethical qualms), mentions of death, creepy men.
word count - 1.2k
a/n - watched Oppenheimer so yeah...Cillian Murphy.
Series Master list Master list
If you want to be added to the taglist - here
Some thought I was stupid. Following my father into a life of crime. Every day my life was threatened and every day I felt unsafe in my skin. But I couldn’t let my father go. I knew mom hadn’t been well since they woke from their dream.
Dad had told me they’d been stuck for 50 years and I suddenly realised how muddled my mom had become. So I knew there was no way he’d killed her that night. She’d wanted to wake up and she wanted him to come with her.
So I followed my dad because I’d rather be a criminal than be without him. Some thought my father was stupid for letting me follow. But truth was, he wanted me with him as well. We couldn’t see James and Philippa so we settled for the family we had left. Us two.
-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-
The clock’s hands on my watch reached 30. I hurriedly placed the headphones onto Nash’s head and began the music.
Arthur woke up first as the sedative wore off. He told me that Saito had figured it out and we needed to disappear. I helped him with the others. Seconds later Nash and dad woke up in succession.
“How did you mess up the carpet?”
“I didn’t know he was going to rub his face on it.” I rolled my eyes at his incompetency.
“You always have to expect them to do the unexpected!” I voiced my concerns.
“Oh yeah how about you go down there with us instead of judging from up here!”
“I’ve been in dreams longer than you’ve been alive my friend.” I smirked at him but felt him sidle up to my ear and whisper. “I’d have you on the carpet.” He was roughly shoved back by Arthur. In the years of him working with my dad, Arthur had practically become my protector and he looked out for me at every turn. He glared at Nash in warning and jerked his head towards where my dad was packing up. Arthur could handle him on his own but he relished in the fear that spread across his eyes.
I helped my dad pack up the case and took the hand he offered me as he led me down the bullet train.
-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-
I joined dad in his hotel room with Arthur and we prepared to leave. We only stayed in the same room in very dire circumstances as dad believed I was safer far from him. Or because he felt safer alone.
When I entered, I noticed the spinning top.
Mom.
Dad followed my eyes and then looked down ashamed. I knew what he was doing. He was hanging on the balance of dream and reality, convincing himself that mom was wrong.
-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-
We three came to the rooftop, ready to fly away from this mess. But the closer we got, we noticed Nash slumped, bloody and bruised. Suddenly Saito appeared from the other side.
“He sold you out, in exchange for my sparing of his life.” Of course, it would be him! I tried to appear angry but I felt nothing. Our lives would be over soon.
Saito offered my father a gun but he declined saying that he doesn’t handle things that way. As Nash was dragged out of the helicopter we were invited to take our seats. I followed nervously.
“What will you do with him?”
“Nothing, but I can’t speak for Cobal engineering.” Ice ran down my spine, understanding the fate we narrowly avoided. Dad grasped my shaking hands.
“What do you want from us?”
“Inception. Is it possible?” Dad tensed and tightened his grip on my hands.
“Of course not!” Arthur answered.
“If you can steal an idea from someone’s mind, why can’t you plant one instead.”
“Okay, here’s me planting an idea in your mind. I say, ‘don’t think about elephants’, what do you think about?”
“Elephants.”
“Right but it wasn’t your idea. Because you know I gave it to you.”
I jumped in to assist. “The subjects mind can always trace the genesis of the idea, true inspiration is impossible to fake.”
My dad softly whispered beside me, and I managed to make out his disagreement with mine and Arthur’s points.
“Can you do it?” Saito smirked.
“Are you offering me a choice? Cause I can find my own way to square things with Cobal.”
“Then you have a choice.”
“Then I choose to leave, sir.”
“You want to take that risk? You want her to take that risk?” His piercing eyes lifted to mine and I felt my dad’s palms sweat at the thought of me in danger. He knew Cobal engineering would not even spare his daughter.
We landed outside of a private jet and I jumped out first ready to leave. I was enchanted by the scale of the jet but my happiness was short lived when I remembered who I was and what was going to happen, once again. Arthur and Dad joined my stride but we were halted by Saito’s voice. A final plea.
“How would you like to go home.” No. How dare he taunt us like that. There was nothing I wanted more than to go home with my dad and he chooses to dangle that freedom in front of us like a donkey with a carrot!
“Can’t fix that! No one can!”
“Just like Inception.” I don’t know if it was the sincerity in his voice but I chose to shuck off Arthur’s hand on my arm and walk back towards the helicopter.
“You’re serious. Aren’t you? Well how complex is the idea.”
"y/n what are you doing?"
“Simple enough.”
I scoffed. “No idea is simple enough if you have to plant it in someone’s mind.”
“My main competitor is an old man in poor health. His son will soon inherit his father’s business. I need him to decide to break up his father’s empire.” A business deal. Did I expect anything less. At least we could remove emotions from it. Simple and transactional.
My father joined the discussion. “If I did this-If I even could do this.” He grabbed my hand. “We’d need a guarantee. How do I know you can deliver?”
“You don’t! But I can. So, do you want to take a leap of faith?”
I shivered hearing my mother’s words pour out of this man’s mouth.
“Or become an old man, filled with regret?”
Dad lowered his head into a gentle nod.
“Assemble your team Mr Cobb, and choose your people more wisely.” The helicopter doors closed and up it went. In a daze I followed them onto the jet and sat down, silent.
“Look, I know how much you two want to go home--”
“No. Arthur, you don’t.” The first words I’d said in over an hour. I punctuated them by standing up and locking myself in the bathroom. Dad’s fingers brushed mine as I left in a brazen attempt to stop me.
As I sat there I thought back on my life, specifically the before. Pictures and films of our happy family danced through my head and I cried. I cried for the first time since we’d left that day. Since I’d hugged my baby siblings goodbye and promised them I’d be back soon. I cried thinking there might be a way. This was our chance.
I splashed water on my face and made my way back out with a fresh smile. I rested my arm on my dad’s shoulder.
“we’re doing this.” I announced. “I know, sweetie.”
I relaxed back into my seat, assured in our choice but nervous of the outcome. “So, where to now.”
“Paris. We need another architect.”

Party people, as Inceptiversary approaches, we’d like to remind you that there is an Inception Slack out here on this great big internet that you’re invited to join.
Moderated by @stormofsharpthings and @finelydressedspacemen , the Slack has a ton of channels on multiple topics, many of which have nothing to do with Inception. You are guaranteed to make new friends with whom you share interests.
Come whine about your forever-WIPs. Come tell us who you think will win the Stanley Cup next year (and link us to your favorite hockey AU while you’re at it). We want to talk about your feelings with you and hear your advice on resume building. We want to smile knowingly as you fangirl over running into that fandom writer who wrote that one thing you’ve read eight times.
If you want to join the Slack, send a message to Ms Fine on Tumblr and she’ll send you an invite (this is a new precaution to keep us free from bots).
If you’re already a member and haven’t been by in a while, take this as a passive aggressive reminder from your Slack Mommies that we wish you’d at least call every once in awhile…

The results are in!
Congratulations to Arthur for being the Ultimate Inception Blorbo, twice over!
It was close in the Extended Edition bracket, with Eames leading for most of the week, but Arthur managed to pull ahead in the final lap and defend his position as Ultimate Inception Blorbo. Let's hear it for extraction's best pointman!
Thank you to everyone who participated in both brackets! I had a lot of fun setting them up, and I loved reading people's comments and reactions in the tags. Some of my favourite things to happen:
Maurice Fischer getting zero votes. Unlikeable king, I think he'd probably be proud of that
Browning having like, 2 people vote for him. Love that for you guys. Don't understand it, but I still love it for you
Dom getting absolutely ratio'd in both the regular bracket and the extended edition one
The various people distressed over having to choose between Saito and Yusuf. I love you all and you're right to think they're both amazing
The surprising amount of people who voted for James. Having a worm was clearly worth more than I thought
Thanks again to everyone who participated!
