Summary
“What do you think we should do for Floozy New Year this year?” Cat asks in early December, her toes pressed against Jean’s knee as they flop on the couch, Jabberwocky curled in a ball between them. It’s not cold outside but they’re all cuddled for warmth anyway, and the familiarity of it all is a pleasant weight in Jean’s chest.
Jean looks at Cat, trying to assign meaning to the words she just uttered. He gives up after a moment of staring at her, saying “I have no idea what you are talking about.”
or; Jean's first New Year's Eve party!

Summary
“Jeremy?” Jean’s sleepy voice answers, his accent thicker than normal. On a good day, it would make Jeremy’s heart flutter, but right now it just makes him cry harder. He’s not sure what he’s done to deserve anyone saying his name with as much tenderness as Jean does—right now, it feels very much like he doesn’t deserve it at all.
“Hey, can you come get me?”
or; Jeremy gets kicked out and has to rebuild from the ground up.

Summary
After leaving his mother's corpse on a beach in California, Neil Josten can't resist the Jaeger pilot simulators she had forbidden. His scores attract the attention of the Foxhole Shatterdome, bringing him fatally close to someone from his past. Neil should say no. He should run far, far away, but Kevin offers him the chance to be close to Jaeger's and pilots and even if he can't risk sharing his mind with anyone, he can't stay away.
The sharks are circling, there's blood in the water, and not even a Shatterdome filled with Jaegers can protect Neil from his past. But in the face of Andrew's stalwart protection, even Neil's father seems fallible.
Loosely based off the Pacific Rim franchise.

Summary
Andrew holds his gaze just for a second longer before turning away, and Neil breathes in, because even if Andrew Minyard, with his extraordinary memory, remembers the date — which is likely, Neil knows — he gives no sign of it.
Neil thinks that perhaps it is carved into his memory only.
or
Exactly a year after Baltimore, Neil doesn't expect to feel like this.
