I was just browsing AO3 and I noticed that there are no Inception/The Pretender crossovers. On Fanfiction.net, there is precisely one. How can this be?
Consider Jarod:
He's brilliant, he has a history with a shady government contractor who now track him obsessively, he has dual obsessions with his own past and with revealing other people's guilt, and he has a talent at pretending to be other people.
There are so many ways for him to crossover with the Inception universe and/or team. Maybe:
1. He helped design the PASIV device back when he was part of the Centre.
2. He wants to use dreaming technology to discover his own subconscious very-early memories of his family.
3. He uses dreaming technology to discover the secrets of someone who committed a crime.
4. He tracks down the inception team or just some other dream tech team because they are guilty of harming someone and he is determined to make them face up to their crime.
5. Part of his training back at the Centre was done by means of dream technology.
6. He was caught by someone (the Centre or some random bad guy) who hire the Inception team to find out his secrets.
7. He just randomly decides he wants to learn this new skill and he joins the Inception team for a bit of recreational training... (Eames isn't sure whether to be delighted or jealous at how quickly Jarod learns forging.)
8. The Centre decide to conscript the Inception team and Jarod has to save them.
And that's pretty much just off the top of my head. I'm sure I could come up with more ideas, and each of these ideas could be fleshed out in a variety of different ways. I think the hardest part about coming up with a full-plot for this outline would be in choosing which path to take, since there are so very many to choose from.
And don't you just want to know what Jarod's dreams are like? What his projections are like? If he's the architect, what crazy paradoxes does he make? If he's a forger, how exact or extreme does he manage? If he's a point man... well, no, he's pretty much already a point man in his own canon, as he researches the situation setting up each new episode.
Surely there have to be more than one fanfic crossing these fandoms. So where are they?
If you know of any, please send me the link!
