    Summary

    It’s lonely, Nancy realizes – too late after the damage is already done – to have the relationships without the shared trauma.

    Written post-Volume 2 but before the finale, a speculative fix-it on how Nancy, Jonathan, and Steve might come back together (with a very minor bonus rovickie sighting)

    Summary

    “Have you ever wondered why you keep going from girl to girl?” Jonathan asks, not unkindly. He’s got that look on his face that Steve never knows how to interpret.

    He exhales slowly. “No. Yes. Not really, but it’s crossed my mind.”

    Or, Steve visits Jonathan in New York and they get snowed in, which presents as the perfect opportunity for honesty.

    Summary

    Ariadne always seems to be reenacting other people's stories. After inception, school is too safe and extraction too risky; what turns out to be just right is a new career as a consultant in dreamsharing research with neuroscientists. But maybe that isn't right either. And Arthur draws her into dreaming and out of her safe, familiar life, and Eames drifts in and out of her life with equal parts revelry and revelations, but she doesn't want to be her namesake and be abandoned or saved. She wants to be the one finding her own way through the maze, the one to sail off into forever. If she plays her moves wisely she just might get everything she ever wanted.
