Here's Eddie and Steve from @corrodedbisexual's pacrim AU Love, Drift & Monsters (part of the @steddiebang Steddie Big Bang)

I had the most fun working on this. Expect more work for this AU.

“Ranger Nakayama,” says Marshal Piandao. “I’m glad to see you made it here in one piece. Welcome to Hong Kong.”

“Um, thank you, sir,” Zuko says. “It’s an honour to be here.”

Piandao’s eyes crinkle in what Zuko recognizes as a smile. “I’d like you to meet Ranger Aang Gyatso,” he says, and inclines his head in the direction of the man standing next to him. “Your co-pilot.”

—

With the Jaeger Program nearing the end of its life, the Pan Pacific Defense Corps brings in Zuko Nakayama, ex-Jaeger pilot, as a last-ditch effort. His role is simple: to act as co-pilot for the newly restored Avatar Fury, and hopefully bring an end to the Kaiju War, once and for all.

For day 1 of @zukkaweek 2023: Modern AU.

One Piece Pacific Rim AU.... anyone?

looottsss of ideas below the cut...

Luffy - Completely disregarded his grandfather's wish for him to join the marines and flew right through jaeger academy like he was meant to punch kaiju. Has this ability to win most peoples hearts, which helps with the fact that plenty of pilots can drift well with him.

Zoro - Struggled for a while to match with a pilot and almost lost his chance to become a ranger when his projected partner dropped out suddenly. Zoro doesnt drift well with most pilots but despite this Luffy insta-clocked him as his true co-pilot when they met (and he was right and theyve been inseparable since).

Nami - the chief LOCCENT officer who oversees jaeger missions from the Shatterdome. One time, her troubled past came back to bite her but Luffy and Zoro helped her out of it. Shes been protective of them since and does everything in her power to ensure they get home safe.

Usopp - a jaeger tech weapons specialist who did his best doing jaeger engineer work for good ol' Merry as well. Always has ideas for improving the j-tech they use and implement. Incredibly grateful he can do his part, but nice and safe in the shatterdome.

Franky - came on board towards the end of Going Merry's life. He's the jaeger engineer responsible for the Thousand Sunny and does well with its upkeep and upgrades. (Allowing Usopp to focus on being a weapons specialist).

Chopper - doctor for their medical team as well as a kaiju science enthusiast and frequently visits the k-science lab when he's free. He has been working and researching kaiju biology and how humans, minks, and fishmen may benefit from the kaiju remains.

Brook - a retired jaeger pilot who went on to teach at the jaeger academy as a kwoon fightmaster. He's quite adept at playing ranger match-maker and was the one to ensure one of their best, Zoro, could match with someone. Has moved up in ranks since.

Jinbe - Hails from and is also a retired jaeger pilot from Fishman nation. He does a lot of work with fishmen-human relations, which has gotten a bit easier after a common enemy invaded their world. Due to all his leadership and his prominent role in the war on kaiju, he was promoted to marshal to lead their shatterdome.

Robin - a private investigator and information dealer of sorts who slipped into a consultant role for their shatterdome. She has many connections and is well versed in the kaiju black market world as well--which is how Chopper found her.

Sanji - the ranger who matched but dropped out last second on Zoro. He fled due to his biological family finding him and trying to bring him home. He went full-time as sous chef at the Baratie with his adoptive father Zeff. The Baratie is still a restaurant that goes out to sea, but has to dock more frequently since kaiju became a problem.

putting the 141, who is already military, into sub-military aus is so special to me

Top Gun au so I can put them in planes. dope ass painted flight helmets with their callsigns across the back. Laswell and her wife own a bar that the boys like to frequent and cause trouble in. also an excuse to stick them on the California coast

Halo au because SPARTAN ARMOR?? alien warfare?? mostly the armor HELP I just wanna give Gaz a giant energy sword please

PacRim au to put them in giant robots. and so I can fuck w drift compatibility. bomber jackets with their names and jaeger insignias stitched on the sleeves and backs. bullying recruits who just wanna punch aliens. I know this one’s already been written (AMAZING fic do check it out) but still it’s everything

Avatar au because… what’s not to love? giant blue aliens with guns and pterodactyls and floating mountains?? yeah dude I am ALL in (I’m also kinda writing this if you wanna see sooo)

SCP au simply because that would be so fucking funny. “goddamn it people are going missing at IKEA again let’s fuckin move out I guess” “IF THAT FUCKING PEANUT BREACHES CONTAINMENT ONE MORE FUCKING TIME—“ “huh this house sure is weird I hope none of us get turned into code and lag out of existence” LIKE CAN YOU IMAGINE

Monsterverse because I think seeing Ghost’s reaction to Godzilla crawling out of a mountain and turning pink would just… cure me. Price has sympathy for the monsters but also just wants to protect all the humans in their path. Soap LOVES all of them (Mothra is his personal favorite) and punched a higher-up who suggested bombing a recently discovered nest one time. Gaz is mostly just in awe of them all, but they also give him anxiety because just one of them could flatten an entire house with one step. they be vibin

Jurassic World because my dinosaur fixation started when I was four and never went away. I’ll fight all of you. raptor trainer Ghost?? paleoveterinarian Soap who’s friends with all the dinos?? head of security Price and head park management Gaz?? please (I’m also writing this one)

like yes. they still do the military thing. but slightly to the left. I could do it all day

pacrim au yuuta: why let your boyfriend stop you from finding your husband?

LOLLL yes exactly…. your boyfriend is of no consequence to yuuta. he became a pilot to save people, and he saved you—he and rika were the ones who pulled your body out the rubble and brought you back to life. you’re his little miracle, how could he leave your care up to anybody else? 😇

let me say tho that reader having a boyfriend who isn’t yuuta is intentional in the grand scheme of things—it’s supposed to be a point of conflict for yuuta being a pilot, not necessarily because of his romantic feelings. pilots are supposed to be the good people, the ones who sacrifice everything and risk their lives to save others, who are given the great responsibility of controlling expensive mega-robots because the average person can’t. they’re the heros, the good guys, the angels—they’re not supposed to lust after civilians, much less those who are already taken, but yuuta’s starting to wonder why he should follow what’s right when there’s something better in front of him

it’s not just yuuta that takes to you, though. rika has always been an usual mech—hushed whispers about how it’s haunted, how it was cruel of her family to build and name a mech after their deceased daughter and ask her crush to be its pilot—but she seems alive more than ever lately. inexplainable auto-pilot movements when you’re around, her core chamber lighting up and powering when you touch it, her hand moving to catch you when you trip near the edge of a lift on the hangar, despite no pilot being inside, sudden steam and crying pipes when you’re too close to your boyfriend and not yuuta. it makes the other pilots wonder—is yuuta possessive over you because of rika, or is rika seemingly possessive over you because of yuuta?

yuuta would never say it out loud, but part of him likes how helpless you are during your recovery. he wants you to get better, to feel better, of course, but the less innocent part of him likes that you need him; that you have a wide, doe-eyed admiration of him for being the brave pilot who saved your life. he likes spoon-feeding you while you’re too weak to do it yourself, likes you calling him to have him help you walk three feet to the bathroom, likes that you wait for him to have lunch and sit pretty watching him during his sparring training. he’s grown awful fond of having you wait on him, he wouldn’t mind if it took a little longer for you to get better. he knows that his job as a pilot is meant to be obsolete—that the goal is the rid the world of its dangerous, so make it a safe space so that humanity isn’t dependent on giant robots and pilots, so maybe having you here like this is the remedy to that. he’d do whatever it takes to rid the world of its monsters if it meant taking care of you for the rest of his life

sooo i started thinking about pacific rim again

[ID: A traditional drawing of Sigma from Bungo Stray Dogs on lined paper, wearing a drivesuit from Pacific Rim. The drivesuit resembles a mecha-style suit of armor. His full body is shown, standing and leaning more onto his right leg. His right arm is awkwardly sitting near his waist, and his left hand is brushing his bangs from his face. The plates of armor are white, whereas the suit underneath is black. He's looking off to the right with a neutral expression. End ID.]

tease tidbit tuesday

tagged by @eddiebabygirldiaz

thank youuuu!

i was gonna do the new thing i'm working on but i am still figuring out the beginning stages and couldn't decide on an actual tease that didn't give everything away so have this from the other thing i've been writing for, you know, ever

His body rams into Eddie, nearly knocks him back, before Buck gets his hands on Eddie’s hips to pull him closer. It knocks the hat off his head, onto the ground at their feet. Apparently, Buck’s gotten the steps down, but not the direction. And Eddie drops his head against Buck’s shoulder to muffle his laughter, and it’s a vibration, this churn that ignites Buck’s blood. “Eddie,” Buck whispers, laugh half-dead in his throat. “I-I think it’s too crowded in here.” “It’s fine, Buck,” Eddie says into his shirt, still working through his laughter. “You’re doing fine.” Buck keeps one hand on Eddie’s waist, then gets the other beneath his chin to tilt it up, catching his eyes. “I think we should go somewhere quieter so you can teach me, you know, properly.” Eddie’s eyes go dark, and his mouth opens, quivers with the start of something, but Buck slides his thumb over Eddie’s lower lip and eases closer, so his words slide right over Eddie’s tongue as he says, “Come with me.” “Okay,” Eddie says, sort of melting into the word, into Buck’s hand, and it takes every ounce of Buck’s willpower not to kiss him here. He doesn’t, though – he can’t risk that scandal, so he slips his grip to Eddie’s wrist and tugs him towards the exit. No one notices. Taylor’s wrapped around Lucy. Chimney and Maddie are in a corner by themselves, and no one notices Buck tug Eddie out of the bar and back into the elevator. Buck waits, winding himself around the thrum of Eddie’s racing pulse where Buck’s still got his hand around his wrist. It takes ages, years maybe, for the elevator doors to close.

listen i get i'm way too late to be doing this for tidbit tuesday so just treat this as a wednesday tag @coldbam @clytemnestraaa @tidesreach @inell @sunflower-eddiediaz and whoever else wants to
