Notes: Whoa boy and here we are. When I saw that the Avengers fandom was already taking off well before the movie came out I resigned myself to the fact that sometime during the summer I was going to be writing a big bang. I knew it was happening and I prepared myself for it. What I did not prepare myself for was this post on tumblr to completely take over my brain. I never write AU's, I told myself, why start now? Well I did and here we are. Time for some things. I would like to thank seimaisin for her fantastic fanmix. I've never had one of those before! Also epistolic for being my cheerleader and for being lovely in general. Also laria_gwyn was my beta, I <3 her forever and ever, and any other mistakes are mine. Thanks to the mods of the marvel_bang for giving me two extra days to get my rough draft to a 80% mark. Marvel stuff is owned by Marvel and Inception stuff is owned by Chris Nolan. The title is taken from 'I Don't Sleep, I Dream' by R.E.M. All right let's do this.
