    Summary

    Jean Kirschtein is a Jaeger pilot, just trying his damnedest not to meet a disappointing end. Maybe he had goals once. Maybe there was a part of him that the storm didn’t touch. Not anymore.

    Having been kicked from the Mark II Jaeger, Atlas Rogue, on account of the fact no-one Drifts with Eren Jaeger and walks out unscathed, Jean finds himself relegated to the Anchorage Shatterdome, Alaska, the very edge of the world. There's a new Mark IV about to be launched, and it needs a pilot. Technically - it needs two pilots. It's a shame he has a chip on his shoulder the size of a Kaiju.

    A JMGE PacRim AU for Yoitay, exploring the journey of a Jaeger pilot from the bottom of the barrel, to the cusp of hope, across every up and down in between.

    Summary

    Jean Kirschstein is a veterinarian. Marco Bodt is a firefighter. They meet under very..... cliché circumstances, and Jean tries not to fall too hard, but Marco is the epitome of everything Jean never knew he wanted.

    It turns out saving kittens from trees isn't this firefighter's only talent, and Jean learns the hard way that falling in love isn't such a bad thing after all.

    Summary

    It's a curse to remember, but it's torture to be the only one who does.

    One day, Jean wakes up, and it isn’t normal. It, his breathing, the universe, the way the world spins when he plants both feet on the floor and tries to haul himself out of bed. It’s the same feeling as being at sea for a long time and forgetting what it means to walk on land. Everything seems to sway, as if he can still feel the ebb and flow of waves beneath his feet, even though he has never seen the ocean in his life.

    He remembers a different time, a different place, different people, and a different boy.

    Summary

    "The definition for a mooncalf is a born fool, someone who spends their time idly daydreaming about everything and not getting out there and living, or someone who’s a freak or a monster. Maybe I hit all three, who knows. But one thing I did find out was that when the world really needs a drink, the only thing you can do is drink with it. And when you find a gorgeous freckled guy looking your way, you have to stop idling."
    ---
    Having recently moved to New York to work in the booming stock market of Wall Street, Jean Kirschtein's feeling pretty cynical about life. He is also stuck in an over the top shindig of a place slowly drinking himself into a stupor. This changes, however, when he catches sight of an apparently well-known author watching him from across the room. And obviously, one thing leads to another...

    Oneshot for now. I have ideas about mayyybe making it multi-chaptered but it's not my top priority :)
