Summary
Hart had declared he often said the wrong thing, but that hadn't been the problem. It was that Hart would mention it, then shy away; drop a hint, then get them both too drunk to fuck on a particularly strong batch of beer; allude to the possibility, then drain Robin utterly dry with his enthusiastic mouth. It was a pattern that had borne thinking upon.
OR
Robin fucks Hart.

Summary
Archie had worked with Daniel long enough to know he made a much more amenable lover than colleague, and it wasn’t as if amenable was the word Archie would choose for him in the former role. —“How Goes the World?”Why, then, was amenable the word in Archie’s mind?

Summary
After defeating their first kaiju together, Julius and Harry find themselves alone and more connected than before.
It took Julius a few moments to pinpoint that he was feeling shy, of all things, when he and Harry finally made their way to their new shared quarters and found themselves alone. It made no sense. They had lived in each other’s heads not two hours ago. Julius not only knew, he had felt Harry’s feelings about him. The heat. The desire. The more-than-desire that Julius could not quite bear to gaze at head-on for the terror and exhilaration it inspired.

Summary
Julius and Marcus Norreys are the best jaeger pilots the world has ever seen, until a devastating battle leaves Marcus dead and Julius a wreck. Five years later, Julius is a brittle shadow of who he used to be: haunted not just by the loss of his twin, but the loss of himself.
Harry Vane lost his parents in a kaiju attack, and he needs to make their deaths count for something—except his overlarge, overprotective cousin, Marshal Richard Vane, won't let him join the Jaeger Academy. He needs help proving he has what it takes to become a ranger, and he knows just the man to ask for help.
Come for the giant robot battles; stay for the explorations of trauma and grief.
NOTE: You can absolutely read this fic not knowing anything about Pacific Rim other than the memes/basic premise, to wit: the world is being invaded by 300-foot-tall monsters called kaiju, and humankind did the sane and plausible thing by building 300-foot-tall mechs that require the pilots to engage in an intense and all-encompassing mind-meld. This is a cool move that has resulted in zero problems for anyone.

Summary
“I’ve wanted to do that for years,” Héloïse says.
Marianne’s teeth ache in her mouth, the mortal fear that animated her hobbled dash from the house still retreating, sluggish and caustic in her veins. She grips Benoît, too tight. “Dying?”
The tern lands on Héloïse’s shoulder, the orange of his clawed feet even brighter than her tousled hair. His eyes are dark, though, where hers are green—or grey—or blue, or something Marianne can’t name, some color they haven’t invented yet. The sea, she thinks, as if that one word could mean so many things.
“Flying,” Héloïse says.

Summary
Bill finds himself at Jim’s door after the staff’s Christmas party. There’s a loneliness that’s crept in and grown like a canker, but only noticeable now as his momentum slows. So his hand rises, pushes back in the air and pushes forward three times; rapping against wood.
