Summary
In the wake of yet another attack, Hermann is expecting Newt to come back from Lima with his usual agglomeration of Kaiju eyeballs and skin samples.
Instead, he comes back with a baby.
This really isn't Hermann's area of expertise.

Summary
You want a better story. Who wouldn’t?
- Litany in Which Certain Things Are Crossed OutOnce upon a time Dr. Flick Tucker, K-Sci head of Biology, fought a bunch of highly scientific dragons to save the world. Then, they took over her life. It didn’t end well.
Once upon our time Dr. Newt Geiszler, marine biologist, sci-fi aficionado, and accidental discoverer of dimensional travel, got a chance to take her place. He has a couple of ideas.
In which Uprising is still a bad movie, musings on the nature of choice and personal autonomy are made, and somewhere, probably, a coin is showing heads every time.

hush hush, we both can't fight it by Macremae for danimagus
Fandoms: Pacific Rim (Movies)
28 Jan 2020

Summary
It’s… weird. Once he stops glancing over his shoulder every few minutes to see if anyone’s watching, and hesitating before putting a hand on Hermann’s shoulder or arm, the motions of a genuine, actual date feel oddly natural. Like this is something they’ve been doing for years, and the only difference now is the name. Hell, Newt didn’t even know Hermann’s eyelashes could have that effect on him until they were fluttered in a (faux, he reminds himself) flirtatious light. His stomach feels like its swooping, which he assumes is because of the alcohol until he realizes he’s only just finished off his first beer.

Newton Work, or: It's Always Sunny in the Hong Kong Shatterdome by Macremae
Fandoms: Pacific Rim (Movies)

Tags
Summary
When Nate poses the question of how Newt was able to stall the Precursors for an entire decade, he and Hermann weave the enthralling tale of The OSHA Inspection of 2023. Excitement! Suspense! Vague adherence to the plot of Charlie Work! Will K-Science pass? And what's all this about chickens?

A Study in Involuntary Cross-Species Relations, by Dr. Hermann Gottlieb: or, how how Marsha M. Lineham saved the multiverse by Macremae
Fandoms: Pacific Rim (Movies)
29 Mar 2020
Tags
Summary
Hermann wets his bottom lip with the tip of his tongue, taking this in for the briefest of moments, before his notoriously whip-sharp (and for good reason) mind collects this data, sorts it, and comes to the conclusion of an ingenious plan.
Newton is not yet lost. Hermann is still his partner. And not only have the Precursors drastically counted their chickens before they’ve hatched, they made one, fatal, supremely arrogant flaw: they’ve revealed that to Hermann.
Or, the Precursors bank on Hermann's emotional repression just a little too hard, and face the (extremely well-researched and therapeutic) consequences.

Summary
Newt’s mouth dropped open, but before he could blurt out whatever was about to drop into his mind, Hermann held up a hand. “No, no, do not get overly excited, I am interested in discretion and tastefulness, which is why I hesitated to come to you. Nothing is set in stone. I simply thought, well…” he paused, taking another sip of his tea as an excuse to look away, “you’re right. We did defeat the Kaiju, and there’s a great deal of time left for the both of us.”
Gathering all the tact he possessed, Newt said carefully, “So… ergo tattoo?”
Hermann gave him the tiniest of shrugs. “I willingly went into the mind of not only a bloody alien race, but you. I think I’ve passed the threshold for foolhardy decisions.”
Five tattoos Newt suggested that Hermann didn't like, and the one that Hermann chose.

it's familiar (but not too familiar) by Macremae
Fandoms: Pacific Rim (Movies), My Brother My Brother and Me (Podcast)

Summary
The Gottlieb siblings are not experts, and their advice should never be followed. Hermann insists he’s a sextant-spert, but if there’s another degree on his wall, I haven’t seen it. Also, this show isn’t for kids, which I mention only so the babies out there will know how cool they are for listening. What’s up, you cool baby?
Out of all the people in the universe, the multi-verse, even, Newt Geiszler wasn't expecting to end up with a research partner who was also a host of his favorite anti-advice podcast. Or for him to be such an unrepentant dickwad. But maybe post production adds ten points of charm or likability or whatever; the point is that they've got a world to save, and the Kaiju don't care about anybody's stupid Webby Award.
And of course, neither does Newt. Obviously.

Summary
“Yes, well,” says Hermann, glancing away for a moment, then, like gravity enforcing itself, back to Newt, “it’s not like this is a new development.”
“Proximity breeds affection. Be honest: do you like me for my compatibility, or because I’ll tell you when you have spinach in your teeth?”

Summary
Hermann almost drops her again with a sputter, this time completely by accident. Their hand has drifted distinctly closer to Newt’s ass, she notes.
“I was not going to approach you about a– regarding an extremely self-indulgent fantasy that completely erases the– personal strength and courage it took for you to–”
“Hermann, this would be a lot more believable if you weren’t speaking directly to my tits.”
In which Hermann reaches peak butch lesbian, Newt is the un-fariest maiden ever, and no bodices are ripped in the making of this fanfiction.

Summary
Herc runs a cafe with a weird name. Chuck is tiny and bratty. Hermann works there. Newt flirts with him a lot and makes questionable choices. Tendo is sassy and not Newt's sidekick. Mako is tiny and not to be fucked with. Stacker wears suits and is the only exception to Herc's distrust of anyone in suits. Raleigh and Yancy might show up eventually.
Axolotl jokes and flirting ensues.The main story of this series is complete, but there's always a chance I'll return to it with new additions, so I won't mark it as complete.

The Next Step: Become Your Own Better Half, Today by buckgaybarnes
Fandoms: Pacific Rim (Movies)
06 Nov 2018
Tags
Summary
Their situation soon lays itself out in front of him with horrifying clarity, and Newt does Hermann the favor of laying it out for him as well: there are two ‘The Next Step’s, both in the general South Florida area, both in the same outrageous price range, both counseling centers. One specializes in workplace relationships. One specializes in marriage.
They are not at the one that specializes in workplace relationships.
(OR: Newt and Hermann are sent off to mandatory workplace counseling for a week after Human Resources gets tired of dealing with them, quickly realize someone's screwed up along the way, and decide to play along anyway for the free vacation, as one does.)

In the days leading up to the full moon, Newt undergoes some...weirder changes. Specifically related to his libido. Hermann selflessly offers up his assistance to ensure the, uh, continued efficiency of the k-science department.
(Technically part two of a series but can very very definitely be read as a standalone.)

Summary
"Drift withdrawals are real, and they're very deadly. If we want to fully weaken the Precursors, Newt will have to be slowly weaned off drifting altogether."
“Sounds good,” Ranger Pentecost says after Secretary General Mori has explained the concept. “The problem is finding someone he's compatible with so we don't just fry his brain further.”
Hermann doesn't like the way everyone immediately looks at him.
