This fic is incredible in the way it fleshes out the 'old four' — Mal, Dom, Arthur, and Eames. The odd, utterly undefinable friendship between Mal and Arthur, the way their friendship changes after Dom joins them, the way both Mal and Dom get a bit possessive of Arthur once Eames enters the picture, and then finally the comfortable truce between the four of them before everything goes to shit... I cannot express enough how well the relationships in the fic are written, this stuff is the stuff of legend which you want to pass down to any particularly fannish grandchildren.
On top of all that, pru's take on extraction and just dream walking in general is incredible in itself and the backstory she creates to explain the history of how the art developed and what it was originally intended for makes the entire thing feel so damn realistic, like it's the official backstory to the movie.
In short, this is a must read for any enthusiastic Inception fan, especially if they appreciate a well written Mal or love slow burn Arthur/Eames.
