    Summary

    Pathologically solitary academic Chu Wanning left behind a life of research to enlist with the Pan-Pacific Defense Corps Jaeger team when giant monsters began to emerge from the Pacific ocean, eager to leave his personal entanglements behind him and join humanity's collective battle against the threat of extinction.

    His goal is to build an artificial intelligence that will allow a pilot to operate a Jaeger mech solo - eliminating the need for pilot compatibility and the mortifying ordeal of being totally known by another person, a "neurological handshake" known colloquially as the drift.

    He didn't expect his former students to follow him all the way to front line of the war against the kaiju.

    Featuring lots of side character interaction, pining, yearning, questions on the nature of personhood, friendship between jerks, people coping badly with loss, snarky AI, and giant robots. Illustrations by Saika & Daru

    Summary

    After Hua Cheng is called in to do a rather simple task at a rather decrepit home, he finds himself replacing more than just the carpet in Xie Lian’s home—for example: the stove, the cabinets, the walls, the roof, and his heart (in Xie Lian’s hands).

    Summary

    “I didn’t get my education in the best culinary school of France for some mediocre apprentice to tell me how to cook my dishes.”
    “Just shut it, Chuuya, and salt your goddamn béchamel.”

    (AU in which Dazai and Chuuya are both competing in the famous culinary contest, but it's more about childhood traumas and attempts to fix them with adult love stories.)

    Summary

    “Till?” Ivan says his name and Till is pulled in, drawn in. He feels the spark in his chest flicker slowly back to life and grow with each passing second.

    Till doesn’t answer, too caught in Ivan’s gaze.

    He was alive. Again. He was alive again. That thought repeated like a mantra in Till’s head.

    This meant he would die again too. Till had to stop it.
