Rec 1
Summary
A postscript to Faster Than Without Water: if you haven't read that, this will make no sense at all.

Notes
Series of two, open-ended. Ariadne, Cobb and Miles come to investigate a hospitalised man in a coma, caught in a dream.
I rec this one for the fascination of its inventiveness. Do make sure you read the prequel first; this story is a slighter addendum to it. (The emphasis is Arthur/Eames although Ariadne is viewpoint character for most of the first story.) Show warnings if you're that way inclined, but you might want to read it anyway: the elegance of the invention, of the language and of the emotions are well worth any tristesse resulting.

Notes
Death offers a fresh perspective on any number of things.
He knew, for example, that he was moderately famous. It came as no surprise, in the abstract, to hear his name used as a byword for deductive proficiency. But the extent to which he has permeated the culture, even here where the trappings of living society are put off as much as possible, still trips him up for a moment here or there. He learns to speak of himself in the third person. He learns that when he claims that name for himself, it is seen as a daring affectation, although an appropriate one for his temperament.
