Yay, awesome! I love how Ariadne is so cautious & sneaky, and I like how her gift with dreams is a connection to the Inception canon- it's unexpected, because most of the worldbuilding so far has come from the Anita Blake canon. Also I love these lines particularly:
He tasted of darkness, stillness and silence: an echo of death wrapped in mortal life instead of the other way around. Like the Executioner, only without the constant pulse of fury disturbing the peace of the grave.
...
Ariadne spread her arms wide and closed her eyes, falling into the center of her power. She had been special to Nikolaos because she could find anyone -- not just people to whom she had a link, like a human servant or a mind-rolled puppet. Jean-Claude used her tracking skills too. But neither of her masters had known the deeper half of Ariadne's gift.
She reached for the taste of Arthur and Cobb, and tiptoed into their dreams.
