    Summary

    They didn’t really lose, Charles supposes; not in the traditional sense. There was destruction, but there almost always is. They lost a jaeger, but no pilots. They killed another kaiju. Not a perfect day, perhaps, but a victory in the broader pattern of war.

    It doesn’t feel like victory.

    (Or; two washed-up rangers walk into a Shatterdome. A jaeger walks back out.)

    Summary

    He can never figure Charles out—his face is a white marble, delicate and unreadable. It gives off nothing. No hints at all. Max, on the other hand, is an open book.

    It was not a fair game from the very beginning.

    They started sleeping around after his first championship. What made it worse was that it wasn’t an angry outburst or a drunken mistake. They were both sober because it was Abu Dhabi. They were both incredibly stupid because it was fucking Abu Dhabi.

    OR: charles never praises max's driving skills in public. max has absolutely no problem with it.

    Summary

    It’s just a fact. A simple universal truth that nobody can do anything about.

    In every other variation, where Max exists, there is also Charles. In every other variation, they fall in love. Sometimes, they break up, but eventually they stick together, bonded and inseparable. That seems to be the pattern observed so far.

    Like they were fucking made for each other. Like there is an invisible string connecting them, and it pulls, and pulls, and pulls towards, until they crush into each other and become a whole.

    Lies, lies, lies.

    In this variation, there are no strings and no Charles. But there is science, a real one.

    OR: max and charles meet in every universe. except the one, where it matters the most.
