    Summary

    When Bren Aldric Eremendrud was a boy, whenever he felt small or lonely, he’d look up at the stars, wondering if there was life up there. Turns out, he was looking in the wrong direction. When alien life entered our world it was from the deep beneath the Lucidian Ocean, a fissure between two tectonic plates. A portal between the dimensions, a breach.

    To fight the Kaiju wreaking havoc on the world, mankind created monsters of their own. The Jaeger Program was implemented. Jaeger. Zemnian for hunter. Monsters designed to put these otherworldly abominations back in their place.

    One pilot couldn’t handle the neural load to pilot the Jaegers alone, so a two pilot system was implemented, one on the left side, one on the right. The two pilots had to link their minds to work in perfect synchronous harmony to ensure that the mechs could run properly. With technology being advanced from cooperation and a worldwide ceasefire to stop this problem, the Pan Lucidian Defense Corps was born.

    Summary

    The Mighty Nein are very comfortable with one another, boundaries established and reconfigured and settled well before Essek finally joins them.

    Casual touch is a given with them; proximity was a necessity for safety in their early days. This, however, stands in stark contrast with Essek’s many decades. Walls, barriers, layers, space. Separation kept Essek safe.

    It’s not that he hates touch, no. It had simply grown unbearable after so long without. Unexpected or held for too long, it burned.

    And then they won him over, slowly, over time, as they are wont to do. Rather, he is one of them now.

    Summary

    Caleb had caught Essek's attention immediately.
    And ever since, this strange little neglected attraction has been bothering him. He initiates a mutually beneficial arrangement upon realizing that Caleb's interests match his own surprisingly well. A purely physical, transactional deal.

    That would be fine, if it were not for the dangerous implications and weaknesses.

    Or for those many in-betweens when Essek is far too interested in what's beyond the boundaries of their agreement...

    Summary

    Fortunately for Essek, he has many years practice at remaining impassive. Unfortunately for Essek, his judgement is entirely incorrect.

     

    It is not a figure from the Dynasty that stands before him, but rather one from the Empire. A hunched figure in a worn overcoat, hands clutching his side and head bowed- a head of fiery hair that Essek has seen reflected in every flame since they had sat together on that ship.

    Essek receives an unexpected visitor at the outpost.

    Summary

    “Would you have, really? Helped me?”

    “Without a moment’s hesitation.”

    At that, Caleb releases a long, shuddering breath.

    “You’d break the world for me.”

    “I can’t imagine anyone more deserving.”
