#Chuck x raleigh x Herc

[ff7-has-taken-me-over]

The Hansen lads looking after Raleigh after he comes back for the final battle. Feeding him, helping him through nightmares or sleepless nights, etc.

Her’s the gentle words and firm encouragement where Chuck’s the silent support and constant affection. Herc gives his shoulder to hold Raleigh up when he feels like he’s about to collapse from exhaustion and Chuck has his back whenever someone picks a fight.

They help him through it all and allow him the time to grieve that he had never given himself in five years of living. It’s a weird little partnership they agreed on, one born from attraction old and new, one that - more often than not - sparks pointless pissing contests and dick measurings. More literal than Raleigh was ever prepared for.

The amount of times Raleigh ended up between the two of them, out of his mind with pleasure and hazing out their constant bickering is much more than he’s managed to count.

<><><><><><>

“Come back to us yeah? Don’t you dare leave us behind.”

Chuck huffed a laugh, kissing Raleigh’s cheek while ruffling his hair, “Should be telling you that darling. You’re the one with no self preservation.”

Raleigh let out a laugh of his own, nuzzling into the hand before turning toward a stoic Herc. Well… if you ignored the tears sitting in the corners of his eyes, “You both better come back to me. I will not lose a son and a partner in the same day.”

How PR characters would comfort you if you had a bad day

Requested by @screechinginthevoid: ty <3

.・゜✧﹒☁﹒✧゜・．

Raleigh+Yancy: Both would immediately notice and immediately get you stuff like your favorite ice cream and a fluffy blanket. They would tell you funny stories about each other, trying to take your mind off of your day. They would also tell you things their mother used to tell them to make them feel better: "Ca va aller" (it's going to be ok), "Quoiqu'il arrive, je t'aime et je serai toujours là pour toi" (whatever happens, I love you and i'm always going to be here for you). Eventually, you fall asleep and the brothers carry you back to your bed.

Mako: She would take you down to the kwoon training room and spar with you to take your mind off of it. Afterwards you guys go down to the Shatterdome cafe and you vent to her about your frustrations.

Chuck: Would take you up to Striker (or your Jaeger) and talk about your guys day. Nearly beats up whoever caused your bad day.

Herc: You vent to him about your day and he gives you a hug, telling you about his bad days and what he does to deal with them. Max runs up to you guys and Herc lifts him up so that he could give you lots of licks.

Don't drool over Y/N! ...Sees something pretty and he gets all wound up.

Stacker: When you tell him about your bad day, he tries to comfort you a little. He makes sure that whoever caused you to have a bad day is punished: extra paperwork, assigning them the worst duties in the Shatterdome, etc.

Newt: Immediately notices and drops everything and you tell him about your day. He would try and make you feel better by insulting the person(s) that caused you to have a bad day and told you to get some rest. You decide to stay with him in the lab as he goes on a small rant about the new sample he just got- part of the secondary brain of a kaiju.

Hermann: Awkwardly tries to comfort you, before deciding to start explaining the project he was working on to distract you.

Tendo: Would crack a few cringy jokes (dad jokes, flirtatious lines, etc.) to distract you. It works as you laugh and slightly cringe at the quips. You two then go on break and head up to the tallest catwalk and talk as you watch a Jaeger get repaired.

i made a thing and posted it... another soulmate au, thought someone around here might be interested!!

[driftwithme]

Pacific Rim (chaleigh) au where the collapse of the breach trapped Chuck and Raleigh on a timeloop, starting the day Raleigh arrived to the Hong Kong Shatterdome and ending with Operation Pitfall.

Meanwhile, Stacker and Mako got stuck out of their original time and space. They hover different versions of their world. What could have been and what was and what could be, hopefully.

For the original dimension, time has stopped, the war clock frozen in the moment of Gipsy Danger's detonation. At the lab, Newton and Hermann are sent to overdrive, rushing to fix the mess or solve the puzzle to their benefit. At LOCCENT, Tendo crashes one pencil after another, receiving wild signals from Stacker and Mako (whenever they find themselves back at some point of time in their universe) and from Chuck and Raleigh (they change the game a bit each time, trying to get their luck on alignment with their reality).

Herc barely sleeps, the weight of the world on his shoulders, trying to reassure the entire planet when all he really want to do is throw himself to the research, wondering if it is a punishment (to never go pass the day his son died) for breaking his promise to Angela, or one last miracle (if aliens can invade through the ocean and time can stop, maybe his son could find his way back to him).

They have given everything to their world.

They have bleed and lose and sacrifice every piece of them, from their minds and souls to their bodies and identities. They, the rangers and scientist and technicians and workers of the jaeger program, who had offered their lives to technology, to find a way to process and convert every day into refined weapons aimed at beings from another dimension, far more advanced maybe, but incapable still in the face of the trust and love and respect of the human cause.

They, who had commanded giant machines to war, sustained only by their memories and their will and the person by their side, linked and interlaced to their very existence.

The question remains:

How do you move the world forward pass the end of the apocalypse?

Summary: Chuck promised a worried and overworked Mako Mori that he’d watch over her unconscious copilot when she couldn’t be there. Some unexpected misunderstandings happen. Raleigh wakes to familiar injuries and the hallucination of a man not quite his friend. Is it his damaged brain trying to give him closure? Or is it something more? An unlikely friendship blossoms into something else.

Raleigh wakes up in the Shatterdome hospital after being unconscious for two weeks following the final fight to close the breach.

December 2025

“A press tour?” you and Raleigh repeated at the same time—rather unenthusiastically.

“Well, don’t sound so excited,” Herc replied. Although the grim look on his face and crossed arms told you he was just about as thrilled as you were. The three of you sat in Pentecost’s old office, the thin strip of window that ran from floor to ceiling revealing the cold winter skies behind your new commanding officer. You still had trouble believing it was a kaiju-free world out there—a world without monsters at last. It was what everyone had wanted, worked towards for years…but, now that it was here, it was like everyone didn’t know what to do.

It had been two months since you’d closed the Breach and in that time, many of those at the Shatterdome had either returned to their families or moved on. About a quarter of the base still remained, you and Raleigh included.

“Do we really have to?” you asked. “I mean, how long is this press tour?”

“Six months,” Herc answered. “And the order came from the White House, so it would be foolish to refuse. They’ve decided to make the first stop Hong Kong to help ease you into it.”

“Okay…but what exactly does a press tour entail?” You looked to your copilot beside you, knowing from his memories that he and Yancy had done some press before he’d died, but nothing like what Herc was describing.

Herc shrugged. “Just…be interviewed, really. Go on talk shows, go to events, talk to different government officials, shake hands, get congratulations, talk to the little people. But since you two are the last two jaeger pilots left…people will probably be a bit crazier than they would’ve been years ago.”

Raleigh sighed and slumped back in his chair, running a hand down his face. You reached over and gave his arm a gentle squeeze. He covered his hand with yours and squeezed back, meeting your eyes. You almost winced at the dark circles that had seemed to take up permanent residence on his face, but yours probably weren’t much better. He gave you a small smile. “Well, at least we’ll be doing it together.”

You smiled back at him, turning back to Herc as he added, “And the official governments of whatever country we’re in will be paying for your accommodations. So you’ll have some of the nicest hotel rooms they can offer, plus no water restrictions.”

“Soooo,” you paused, your hand still in Raleigh’s, “we can take long, hot showers?”

Herc chuckled. “As long as hot as you want. You’ll be pretty pampered from what I’ve heard. You two have earned it.”

“Will you or anyone else be coming with us?”

“I’m coming for support, but they’re more interested in you since you’re young and were part of the mission to close the Breach.” His eyes fell to your shoes, and you could tell he was thinking of Chuck. As much of an ass as he was, he was still part of the team and you couldn’t deny you missed him.

“We’ll be getting a schedule and new orders soon,” Herc continued. “I’ll let you know as soon as we get more information. We’ll be heading out in two weeks.”

“Will we stay in the Shatterdome for the Hong Kong part of the tour?” Raleigh asked, his thumb rubbing soothing circles on the back of your hand. It was almost second nature for you both at this point to comfort each other however you could, mainly through touch. Not that you were complaining.

“No, they’ve got a hotel set up for you in the middle of the city. And…they want everyone to clear out of the Shatterdome soon.”

“What?” you asked, brows furrowing. “But they could revamp the jaeger program, maintain it in case it’s needed again. They can’t possibly think shutting it down again is a good idea after everything we all just sacrificed to keep it alive.” And the Shatterdome was your home now. Where would you go after the press tour?

“I don’t know what their plans are for it. No one has said anything about shutting down the jaeger program, but I’ll try to find out more. They might just want to repurpose the bunker and move the program to a new location, who knows.”

“Doubt it,” Raleigh mumbled. “They’re not known for their intelligence, evidently.”

Herc sighed. “Well, we’ve got our orders. Let’s just concentrate on getting through this without making too many waves.” He chewed on his lip for a moment, his eyes flickering to your and Raleigh’s linked hands. “Dismissed.”

You exchanged a glance with your copilot, sighing as you stood and made your way back to your room. You didn’t even realize you were still holding Raleigh’s hand until Newt’s “hey lovebirds” as he passed you in the hall.

*

August 2025

As the last of the flying sparks faded away, Raleigh’s smile took their place. It was fitting, since it felt like there were also sparks flying in your stomach whenever those blue eyes landed on you.

You lifted your visor to return his smile. “Hey! Looking for Gipsy?”

“Yep.” He’d changed from his torn sweater and worn-down jacket into military-issue cargo pants, boots, and a dark blue sweater that brought out his eyes. “And you mentioned you would be with Tendo? Is he here?”

“Ayyy, Becket boy!”

Raleigh’s face lit up enough to make rainy Hong Kong seem like paradise. They embraced before Tendo led Raleigh a few feet away to the railing overlooking Gipsy as she went through maintenance. You heard Raleigh mutter “so beautiful” reverently as he stared at her and couldn’t help but pretend he was talking about you. Stop it, you told yourself. You’re in the middle of a war for Christ’s sake.

You only half listened as Tendo rattled off all the improvements made to the jaeger before piping up at your name. “What?”

Tendo made his way over to his workstation with Raleigh trailing behind. He stopped next to you and smiled and you couldn’t help but smile back. He seemed to know how to pull happiness from you with just a look.

“I was telling Raleigh how you’re one of our best,” Tendo said. “And a damn good pilot, too.”

Raleigh perked up. “Hey, I forgot to ask. Are you one of the candidates for my copilot?”

You nodded, feeling excited and also slightly sick at the prospect of Raleigh inside your head. You’d definitely have to get a handle on your thoughts beforehand—if he chose you. “It definitely took some nagging, but I did manage to convince Pentecost to add me to the roster.”

He beamed. “I look forward to it.”

You smiled in return. “Me, too.”

“So, um…” he hesitated, shoving his hands in his pockets. “Tendo’s a bit busy, but what about you? Do you want to get some lunch?”

“Tendo!” you called over your shoulder. “Will you survive if I go get lunch?”

“Knock yourself out,” he replied from where he was bent over a piece of machinery. “But not literally. Your hands are smaller than mine, so I’ll need you to help me with this piece later.”

“Okay, I’ll see you in a bit, fat fingers.”

“Hey! They’re buff, not fat!”

You snorted, heading towards the workshop door with a laughing Raleigh in tow.

“So, you two seem like you get along well. Are you close?”

“I’d like to think so,” you answered as you slapped your visor and gloves down on the table near the door, muttering a shy thanks as Raleigh jumped ahead of you to hold the door. “Don’t tell him I said this, but he is pretty awesome. But he’d just let that go to his head.”

Raleigh smiled, looking around the bustling hallway on the way to the mess hall. You remembered how empty the Shatterdome was when you first arrived. You were one of the first people there with Pentecost and Herc, and the task of turning it into the bustling resistance base it was now seemed impossible. Now with Pentecost’s plan to seal the Breach, it felt like everything was finally coming together for the final attack in a way that made your stomach twist in anticipation. You could very well see the Breach up close soon—and may even die in an attempt to seal it. You resisted the urge to sigh, not wanting to worry Raleigh. Although his mind might have been wandering in the same direction.

You’d been lost in your thoughts and silent for some time during your walk, but he didn’t seem to mind. He threw another lopsided smile your way before jogging ahead of you several steps to hold the mess hall door open for you. You thanked him again, your stomach doing little somersaults at his manners. A good portion of the men on base either ignored you or were constantly trying to one up you, likely intimidated by your skillset. You’d gotten used to getting shoved around, whether it was an accident or some jealous peer trying to prove their superiority. Raleigh had none of that and in fact, seemed to even want to make sure you were taken care of, insisting you go ahead of him in line with your tray, offering to help you reach things, and even asking if you wanted help carrying your tray to one of the open tables. You’d heard stories about the nightmare he’d been through in losing his brother and it amazed you that he was still so sweet and protective, making you yearn for the spot next to him in Gipsy even more.

“So how are you adjusting to the Shatterdome?” you asked as you sat across from him. “Or is it pretty similar to the military bases you’ve been on?”

“Well,” he loaded his fork with an impressive amount of food from multiple sections of his tray. “It’s a lot busier, but that’s probably ’cause they’ve stuffed everyone into one base versus being scattered across several. But I was at the Wall before this and that was just as hectic, so I don’t mind.”

“Looks like there’s plenty of room at this table,” a familiar Australian accent said behind you.

You turned and returned Herc’s smile as he and Chuck headed towards you, trays in hand. “Max!” you cried.

The little bulldog’s tongue lolled out of his mouth happily as he broke into a run and jumped up on the bench next to you. You gave him a good scratch behind the ears as he leaned into you, laughing and pushing him away as he tried to lick at your tray.

Chuck slid into the bench next to you, giving you a nod in greeting as Herc settled next to Raleigh, introducing his copilot.

“He’s more my copilot,” Chuck replied, making you roll your eyes. “Right, Dad?”

Herc eyed him warily and you shook your head. Herc was always so sweet to his son who only ever gave him grief in return. While he’d never turned his ire on you, it didn’t mean you wanted to smack him any less.

The urge to smack became stronger and stronger as Chuck tried to intimidate Raleigh into a pissing competition. You’d seen plenty of pilots do it before—and many had even tried to start it with you—and some even ended with fists. Raleigh maintained his composure well, but you could see the fury building in his eyes, his body stiff and unforgiving. You made a mental note to never get on that side of him. You’d heard enough stories to know he could punt anyone into next week if he wanted to.

“Just make sure you keep up,” Chuck said as he stood and adjusted his baseball cap, “or I’ll drop you like a sack of kaiju shit. Come on, Max!”

Max looked at you and whined as you put another bite of food in your mouth. You sighed and threw a piece of chicken up in the air. Max barked happily before snapping it up in his jaws midair, his little butt wiggling in happiness.

“Max!” Chuck called again and Max went scampering after him.

“He’s a smart kid,” Herc said sadly. “I raised him on me own, but never quite knew whether to give him a hug or a kick in the ass.”

Raleigh paused, glancing at you before replying, “With respect, sir, I’m pretty sure which one he needs.”

Herc’s lips formed a thin line before he turned back to his food in silence. The air felt tense, but you couldn’t help noticing the giant salad Raleigh had created out of his veggies, mashed potatoes, bread, and chicken. You chuckled to yourself as you took a drink of your water.

Raleigh smiled, all his earlier menace disappearing the second he met your eyes. “What?”

“You’ve created a monstrosity on your plate.”

He laughed. “Hey, it’s all going to the same place. You should try it.”

“Tell that to my taste buds.”

“Aw, come on, it won’t hurt ya!” He reached over and dumped a forkful of your chicken into the mashed potatoes.

“Hey!” You shoved futilely at his hand while he took the other and spread some mashed potatoes on your bread like butter.

“There you go!”

“That looks disgusting,” you laughed.

Raleigh’s eyes sparkled with amusement. “Don’t knock it till you try it.”

You frowned in disgust, sticking out your tongue as he held your mashed potato-covered bread out to you.

“Don’t make me play airplane with your bread.”

Still frowning, but also trying not to laugh at how effortless your rapport felt, you slowly took the bread from him and took a bite. It wasn’t half bad, but you weren’t ready to let him know he won. “Plehhhh.”

“You liar, you like it!” he beamed triumphantly.

You scooped the chicken back out of your mashed potatoes and redeposited them in their section of the tray.

“Hey, that’s the best part!”

“Noooooo, you create as many monstrosities on your plate as you want, but leave mine alone.”

Herc chuckled. “How many kaiju guts have you helped the research team transport and this is what grosses you out?”

“Look at his plate, it’s practically its own kaiju!”

Raleigh laughed loud and bright, drawing the attention of several neighboring tables and you smiled, proud you’d been the one to draw that out of him. For a moment, the two of you just stared at each other with dopey grins on your faces and you couldn’t help but admire how his eyes lit up. When you’d first entered the elevator, before he’d noticed you, he carried the weight of someone who had seen too many horrors. Now, you felt like you were catching a glimpse of the man he’d been before—the carefree Raleigh that had his brother to guard his back and bring joy into his life. You only hoped that if  you were chosen as his copilot, you could do the same.

December 2025

“Pretty sure Hermann’s about to run up the wall ’cause of Newt’s—hey, what’s wrong?” you asked as your bedroom door shut behind you with a clang.

Raleigh sat on the bed wearing an unfamiliar black jacket, holding an identical one in his hands. His brow was furrowed and he clutched the clothing like it might evaporate if he wasn’t careful.

“…Rals?”

Raleigh looked up at you in shock and it took you a moment to realize you’d called him by the nickname Yancy had always used for him. You hadn’t meant to; it had leapt from your mouth unbidden and the wounded animal look in your copilot’s eyes made you wish you could take it back.

“I’m sorry,” you muttered so quietly, you weren’t even sure he’d heard you.

His attention returned to the jacket in his hands. He turned it and you could see Gipsy’s symbol in a large white design on the back. You remembered seeing flashes of Raleigh and Yancy wearing jackets just like it before Alaska. “It’s okay,” he murmured. “I actually, um…” He stood, gently wrapping the jacket around your shoulders. “Here, put your arms through—oh, well, it sort of swallows you.”

“Don’t worry, I’m a good swimmer.” You smiled, hoping to ease some of his pain.

He chuckled, but his smile didn’t reach his eyes. “We can get it fitted. I thought they might be nice for the press tour—or just to have. You don’t have to wear it if you don’t want to.”

“I’ll wear it if you wear yours. We can match.”

He was quiet as his hands gently ran up and down your arms, sliding further down until his fingers were intertwined with yours. When he met your eyes again, you saw tears threatening to spill over.

You frowned. “Raleigh? Are you—”

“I, um,” he cleared his throat, shrugging off his jacket and throwing it on the bed, “need some air. I’ll be back.”

You watched for a moment as he rushed out of the room before something small and white on the inside of his jacket caught your eye. You picked it up to find his name stitched in white lettering on the inside corner. With a start, you checked your own jacket and your heart plummeted as you realized what had gotten him so emotional: there, on the inside of your own jacket, was the name “Yancy Becket.”

You immediately shucked your jacket off your shoulders, slinging it carefully over your arm before running out into the hallway. “Raleigh, wait!”

He turned halfway to the door at the end of the hall leading outside.

You held the jacket out to him. “I can’t take this.”

He gave you a watery smile, sniffling. “No, I want you to have it.”

“Rals, if anyone should have Yancy’s jacket, it’s you.”

He turned to face you fully and took the jacket from you. He stared at it for a moment before slinging it back around your shoulders, holding the lapels so you couldn’t remove it again. “It…” He licked his lips and closed his eyes for a moment before looking at you again. “It feels like this way…Yancy’s protecting you. You have no idea how much you’ve saved me, Y/N. It feels like you’re his way of cosmic apology and it just—it just feels right.”

Now it was your turn to get teary eyed. “Raleigh…”

He cupped your face in his hands, rubbing the rough pads of his thumbs over your cheeks before leaving a lingering kiss on your forehead. You pushed your arms through the jacket sleeves and wrapped them around his middle. He pulled you against him, resting his cheek against your hair as he took a shuddery breath.

A wolf whistle behind you made you jump and you turned to see Tendo walking past. You laughed, Raleigh’s arms still securely around your shoulders as you felt him shake with his own laughter. Despite Raleigh’s sweetness and the comments and whistles you got from your peers, you couldn’t help but still feel insecure. You weren’t sure what you and Raleigh were anymore, really—definitely more than friends, but did he really want to be with you like a boyfriend or even a lover? You two had just saved the world and were just about to do a grueling press tour; he had enough on his mind. The connection between pilots was always special, wasn’t it? Maybe that was all it was.

Raleigh pulled you from your thoughts as his hands fell back down to his sides. “I’m going on a walk…do you wanna join me?”

You smile and nod before following him to the door. Your heart skipped a beat as he jogged the last few steps just so he could hold the door for you, ever the gentleman. As you exited into the cold winter air, you could feel his warm hand slip into yours.

[issamhysa]

Being Raleigh Becket’s niece and joining the Jaeger Program would include...

You’re Yancy’s kid

You were 5 when the Becket brothers left to join the Pan Pacific Defense Corps, so your mother pretty much raised you alone

After your father’s death, you became interested in Jaeger technology, and dreamed of piloting your own when you got older

So anyway, you joined PPDC’s Jaeger Program when you were 17

Being related to Yancy and Raleigh, you picked up your lessons and training relatively quickly

Mako became your mentor

She told you how she and Raleigh piloted Gipsy Danger back in 2025, and how they helped seal the Breach, along with Striker Eureka

You hung out with the other cadets, but mostly Nate Lambert and Jake Pentecost

You and Jake loved messing with Nate, much to his chagrin 

Mako approached you one day and told you that Jake would be your co-pilot when the time came 

But of course, when Amara Namani came into the picture, Mako had a sudden change of plans

And for the second time in your time in the PPDC, you were left alone with no co-pilot

And no fucking Jaeger

Mako’s death affected everyone greatly, but her death took the biggest toll on you

Nate and Jake knew this, so they did everything possible to comfort you and help you get through everything

When you were 20, you found out that Nate [now a general] had found someone you could be matched with

The morning of, you were a mess

Sometime between trying to calm your anxiety and excitement, you reported to the Shatterdome

You could barely see Nate talking to someone before you were thrust into your equipment and into your new Jaeger, a perfect replica of the Gipsy Danger

Shaking the nerves away, you took a deep breath and stepped into the deck

‘This is your shot, Y/N, don’t fuck it up’

As soon as the AI announced the second pilot was on deck, you tensed, whipping around with a friendly smile that dropped in a second

Standing before you was your uncle, the man who had gone AWOL after sealing the Breach back in 2025

Raleigh fuckin’ Becket

You two kinda just stared at each other for a bit 

You were trying to figure out why Nate kept such a big piece on information from you

Raleigh was trying to figure out why the hell you looked so familiar

But once he realized that the determined gleam in your eyes perfectly resembled Yancy’s, it clicked

“Y/N?” 

You’ve never moved so fast

Without missing a beat, you two rushed forward, embracing

You were crying with joy, while Raleigh was laughing and crying, relieved to have you back in his arms, just like he did when you were little

Once you two got your shit together, you got to work

Surprise, surprise

You two are fucking drift compatible

And just like that, you and Raleigh became the dynamic duo

Mission after mission, Kaiju after Kaiju, you two are unstoppable

Obviously, this catches Jake and Nate’s attention

Your uncle is quick to stop any advances from the two, though

That’s okay, you’ve had your eye on Viktoriya Malikova for a while now

But anyways

Raleigh rarely leaves your side

He starts calling you “Baby Becket”

You hate it at first, but you get used to it

Until the whole damn base knows you by “Baby Becket”

Soon, you and Raleigh become known as “Baby Becket” and “Old Becket”

Raleigh’s reaction is pretty funny 

You and Raleigh are inseparable, honestly

You could even say he became sort of a father figure to you

He spends most of his time either training with you or sitting with you in his room, talking and reminiscing 

You two talk about Mako a lot 

And as much as it hurts, Yancy always ends up in your conversations

He tells you about how Chuck Hansen and Stacker Pentecost gave their lives to seal the Breach, about how Newt and Gottlieb would banter and make him laugh

You told him about the pranks you and Jake would pull on poor Nate, and about all the death you had witnessed when the Kaiju attacked MegaTokyo 

You two heal together

Because you’re family, all that’s left to the other

And that’s the most important thing of all

I FINALLY MADE IT GUYS!

It actually took more time than I expected but it is finally here! 

I wanted to do something different from all the Pacific Rim edits I’ve seen on Youtube so.... No rock songs here! ;)

Enjoy this Pacific Rim(/Maleigh) tribute! :D
