    Summary

    Rey isn’t sure that anyone really loves anyone else on Jakku. She isn’t sure it’s possible to let your guard down that far in a place that wants to swallow you up, scorch you, starve you. Love makes you soft, exposes the guttable parts of you. It wouldn’t be safe to love anyone. Nobody would be stupid enough.

    Rey saves a life, meets her family, falls in love, grows up, and learns that she doesn't know anything at all. Not necessarily in that order.

    Summary

    They are an odd match to be drift compatible — the man as tall and broad-shouldered as the woman is small and slender.

    “Interesting,” Steve says. “They could almost pass for —” He stops, the forkful of macaroni arrested halfway to his mouth. “Holy geez,” he says reverently. “That’s —”

    “Lucky Striker,” Bucky finishes. “Sonuvabitch!”

    Romanoff and Barton. They’re legends, the very first team to establish a neural handshake once Stark nearly blew out his heart trying to pilot a jaeger alone and realized it only works with a shared neural and physical load.

    They have more kills than any other team out there. Hong Kong, Vladivostok, Lima — Lucky Striker has held the line in almost every ‘dome on the rim. Steve and Bucky have pored over the footage of every single one of their kills, marveling at the way their jaeger moves. Fluid, seamless, graceful. And most of all, of course, deadly.

    “Think they’re just visiting or they’re here to fight?” Steve asks.

    “Either way, we’ll probably at least get to see them in the kwoon,” Riley drawls. “Whaddaya think they’ll use? Staffs? Nunchaku? Or just hand-to-hand?”

    “Whatever it is, it’s gonna be fuckin’ beautiful,” Bucky says.

    Summary

    Wei Ying abandons her suitcase to investigate the sleeping situation, already coming up with a hundred reasons not to inconvenience Lan Zhan by stealing half of her fucking bed, and then gets a better look at it.

    It’s huge. Wei Ying has seen a king bed before, and this is bigger than that. Is that a California King? Is that what those huge-ass orgy beds are called? There are parking spaces smaller than this bed. Wei Ying has lived in apartments smaller than this bed.

    “You know,” Wei Ying says thoughtfully, “I’ll level with you. I was gonna volunteer to sleep on the couch, or steal some pillows and blankets and sleep in the bathtub, but then I saw this monstrosity. Lan Zhan, look at this fucking bed.”

    Lan Zhan rests her hands on the room divider, her face softly amused. “I am looking.”

    “We could tend a whole herd of sheep on this bed,” Wei Ying says, warming to her subject. “We could cross the Pacific Ocean and weather any storm on this bed. Fuck, Lan Zhan, I could stage an entire community theatre production of Chicago on this bed.”

    Or: There was only one bed, but that part's fine, actually.

    Summary

    “If I write to you,” he says in a quiet voice, between them and no one else, so quiet the wind could take the words away and never return them, “will you read my letters?”
