    Summary

    Marshall Robert Singer has one hand resting on his hip, the other gripping the discarded practice pole. Castiel thinks he looks tired. That said, with how the kaiju have been crawling with increasing frequency out of the Breach with every passing week and decimating the cities lining the Pacific, no one can blame the man for that.

    Castiel knows there aren't enough Jaegers or Jaeger pilots left to defend the coastline against the monsters—but with his history, he's not getting back into harness. He's never joining his mind with anyone else's. Not again.

    “Congratulations. You boys done dancing yet?” Singer demands, thumping the butt of the staff on the ground with blunt, percussive force. “We got work to do.”

    “Work?” Castiel asks, frowning.

    “Congratulations?” Dean finishes.

    “Well, yeah.” The Marshall of North America's last battle-center looks back and forth between them, clearly questioning their intelligence. His lip curls just slightly under his beard—no doubt at their blank expressions. “You’re obviously Drift-compatible, ya idjits.”

    “What?”

    “What?”

    Summary

    "Without the gloves she can see the shiny rope of scar tissue marring one knuckle, the graceful bones of his wrist. She can see the way he handles the locks like a lover. She wants those fingers inside of her."

    Back from sea, Inej has missed Kaz and his talented hands. Unfortunately for her, Kaz is in the mood to play games.

    After the fall, Hannibal awakes in a VA hospital bed in New Orleans with no memories. Will is somewhat conflicted about that.

    30 Day Fic Writing Challenge

    It's no excuse, but I wrote this in 30 days, a chapter every single day, and it was quite the discipline I can tell you. That said, I'm not sure whether it shows. There may or may not be some sloppy storytelling, and mistakes that I didn't pick up on as I read it through and hastily posted it. But I still like it, and it totally scratched my Amnesiac!Hannibal itch.
