Chuck was injured instead of Herc by achilleees {M}

riding the wave

They say you never really know a guy till you break his face with your fist. Okay, they don’t really say that, but fuck it all, they should.

build a house on a mountain

In the years following the end of the kaiju war, there is political turmoil and international strife. The world is rebuilt from the ground up, social and economic upheaval disrupting every corner of the globe.

This isn’t that story.

This is the story of Chuck Hansen learning to drive a stick-shift, shotgun a joint, cook Thai food, fix a tractor, and cohabitate with the person he’s too stubborn to admit he’s pretty much in love with. Fortunately, Raleigh is a patient teacher.

Heartbeat by westofnowhere {T}

Chuck shouldn't be alive, but he is. Alive thanks to a dead man. Now Chuck has a lot of shit to sort out. Especially himself. And a certain pretty boy has-been.

This is the way, this is the way we move by JustSomeMusings

Dogs days are over {T}

For this prompt on the pacificrimkinkmeme: I simply adore Max! I get a feel that Max knows how his human feels toward Raleigh but his human is a tad shy so why not Max helps him out? So basically a 5+2 in which Max is the best dog ever.

It's your finger and how I'm wrapped around it {G}

A 2+1 sequel to Dog Days Are Over about Raleigh trying to propose to Chuck. It doesn't go that well.

I'd Call That Drift Compatibility by beachpartybb {E}

"When Raleigh gets to the base, Herc is already wounded and can't be the Jaeger pilot anymore. And somehow Raleigh happens to be drift-compatible not with Mako, but with Chuck, so now they are new co-pilots. Chuck is not happy, but only until their first drift..."

Wait for the Sequel by beachpartybb {E}

"Raleigh is a tough book critic who just gave Chuck's latest book five stars. While browsing at a bookshop, Raleigh gets into a verbal altercation with Chuck, not knowing that he's the same person who wrote his new favourite book."

Crocodile Dundee Got Nothing On Hercules Hansen by kaara {T}

Raleigh learnt that Australia (and Australians) is basically a deathtrap.

Dog Parenting by snack_size

Whelping {T}

Chuck lives, and Max gets a girlfriend when a lady bulldog arrives at the Shatterdome. Herc gets some granddogs, and Chuck doesn't realize he's been dating Raleigh for awhile.

Training {M}

The further adventures of Max's four puppies and the humans that they hang out with.

Our lives are not a linear path by Puppet_in_the_Corner {T}

At 25 years old, Yancy Becket dies reaching out, leaving behind a younger brother with his soul torn in half, and an unborn child who will never know his father. At 22 years old, Raleigh Becket finds himself newly discharged with a busted arm, a neat little description of PTSD and various other disorders he's probably been diagnosed with on his file, and a two month old baby. He's also well and truly at the end of his rope, his life dented by the impressions of those no longer there. Or How Raleigh Becket desperately tries to keep his head above water in a roiling sea of sorrow and depression threatening to drown him, and the only thing keeping him afloat is the little boy with Yancy's face who calls him "daddy".

Comfort by resonae {T}

The five times Chuck wore Raleigh's clothes, and the one time Raleigh caught him.

Sunburst by snack_size {E}

Yancy lives through the Knifehead attack, and the Becket Brothers recover to fight on in Gipsy Danger - though not without consequences. When the Jaeger program is decommissioned, they're packed off to Hong Kong with everyone else. Mako restores a different Jaeger, and Operation Pitfall is much more of a success. Cancelling the apocalypse doesn't mean that things are over, though.

Start As You Mean To Go On by Brenda {E}

This was completely absurd, but somehow, this was his life now. Giving dancing lessons to the savior of the fucking world at a party being thrown in their honor, with what felt like half of Hong Kong in attendance.

The Matchmaker by krwaken {M}

Herc isn't an idiot. He can see the way Raleigh and Chuck yearn for a fight just so they have an excuse to talk to each other. He becomes a sort of matchmaker to bring the two idiots together.

Sic Him, Boy! by nhixxie {E}

Raleigh’s pretty sure Chuck is trying to sic his bulldog onto him, and really--Raleigh thinks as the dog curls at his feet and cuddles against his boots--Chuck should have realized the plan is flawed at the very foundation.

I Don't Mind Your Odd Behaviour by Vacilando {G}

So basically; Max the bulldog was pulling a tiny red wagon filled with flower crowns upon flower crowns around the Shatterdome with a note tied to his collar that simply said “Take One”. And Raleigh was -for the lack of better term- stalking the bulldog. or The One Where Raleigh Becket Spent His Thursday Creeping On A Bulldog With A Wagon (and there are feelings and flowers and people will puke rainbows)

Interpretation is Key by Aupaiste {G}

"...a Chuck lives AU where Chuck wants a relationship with Raleigh, who is pretty much oblivious. Herc notices, and because he knows Chuck is clueless at wooing anyone, decides to give him some advice. Except Chuck, being Chuck, manages to mess it all up."

You are safe by resonae {G}

There is nothing else Herc loves more than his son. Herc knows this for a fact. Raleigh/Chuck is more of a background relationship, kind of more focuses on Herc and Chuck's father-son dynamic

Pretend Boyfriends by fadedink {T}

Everyone thinks that Raleigh and Chuck are together. They're not. But that doesn't stop them from having fun with the idea.

Give me a chance to catch my breath [so I can lay my ghosts to rest] by Puppet_in_the_Corner {T}

Chuck doesn't know where he stands with Raleigh Becket. They're certainly on better terms than before, but they're not friends. But they can talk now without getting into a fist fight, so that's an improvement, he thinks. And if his heart jumps (it does not flutter, he’s not 15 years old again) every time Raleigh smiles at him, or how once in a while during lunch or dinner Raleigh’s hand will find his own and Chuck responds with a firm grip, well, he doesn’t have much to say there. Well, he would, if these fucking ghosts would leave him the hell alone. Or That time Chuck Hansen was haunted by Raleigh Becket's annoying siblings.

Metatheria by Macx

Shifting Perspective {E}

Operation Pitfall was a success. The Breach had been closed. There had been losses, but there had also been survivors. Like Chuck Hansen, who had been found in an escape pod, seriously and rather badly injured, but alive. His recovery opens Raleigh's eyes to something he hadn't known about the other pilot, that only a select few actually do. He finds himself stunned and slightly awed, and very much drawn to the other man... even in the shape he is in. And maybe, just maybe, he can get away with calling Chuck Hansen an adorable fuzz face in the future, too....

Gridlocked {M}

It was an accident. Really. A complete and utter accident. That the accident resulted in Chuck being forced to Shift, well, who knew? Certainly not Dr. Newton Geiszler, who had no idea that distilled Kaiju Blue would do that to a Shifter when liberally doused in it. No one can explain how it happened. Just like no one can explain why Chuck is stuck and can't Shift back. Or if they can get him unstuck... Well, crap.

I Would Walk 500 Miles by themonsterswin {T}

Chuck's an Engineering student who lives in Sydney, Australia; Raleigh works construction in Anchorage with his brother Yancy. The two met a long time ago, in an online gaming community, where raleigh_danger and strikerhansen hit it off. They've been friends ever since, though they only started skyping a few years ago. This collection of drabbles follows them from friends to something a little more!

Sweater Thieves are the Best Thieves by alphaenterprise {G}

Raleigh knits Chuck a god-awful sweater.

crashing the net by achilleees {M}

Recently locked down to a five-year contract, Chuck Hansen is just getting comfortable as the superstar captain of an elite hockey team. Only, that's when the team's general manager trades for the incredibly talented but inconsistent goalie Raleigh Becket, who appears to have no ambition whatsoever. And Chuck’s pretty driven, to put it nicely. Clearly they have some stuff to teach each other - and quick, because the Stanley Cup playoffs are just about to start.

This Is How It's Going To Be by theloverneverleaves {T}

The thing about meeting your idols is that they don't always quite measure up to what you expected. And then sometimes, they're everything you imagined and more. Chuck Hansen will never admit Raleigh Becket was his hero, but the poster rolled up in his drawer says otherwise.

Big Damn Heroes by snack_size {M}

Stacker Pentecost, Captain of the Firefly Class vessel Striker Eureka, has a good crew that's willing to take on just about any job, so long as you can pay. Things have been going pretty well lately, so it would figure that life is about to get more complicated when they pick up two travelers and soon find themselves stuck as go-betweens for Weis and the Kaidanovskys, struggling to keep the Alliance off their back, and hoping not to get on the radar of Hannibal Chau and his crime syndicate.

The Most Dangerous of Animals, Beast Born of the Heart by Wolfarella {E}

Raleigh Becket is a gladiator who's fought for the house of Hercules Hansen for some time, and after he becomes Champion, his lanista’s son, Chuck, suddenly takes an avid interest in him that very quickly turns into something more.

You should stay another night with me by Puppet_in_the_Corner {M}

Chuck had thought he’d gotten over this crush years ago, but he hadn't thought that picking up a guy in a bar that his foggy, drunken brain identified as kind of looks like Raleigh Becket on his 21st birthday would backfire so spectacularly on him. Not until after Operation Pitfall, when a woman looking for Raleigh Becket shows up with a 2 month old baby. Oops.

Ghost in the Machine by fadedink {T}

Chuck Hansen's first Drift is a disaster. But what Tendo discovers several days later shocks the entire Shatterdome. Soon enough, they discover that you don't necessarily need a body to co-pilot a Jaeger.

In Which Chuck Hansen Really, Really Hates Photographers by intrikeyt {T}

“Well?” Raleigh asks with a smirk. “What do you say, you little brat? Wanna get hitched?” “You’re not gonna get down on one knee, old man?” Chuck snipes back, because this is how they always will be. The kind of madly in love that means endless bickering, trading barbs and witty rejoinders, tenderness and affection reserved for the quiet, private moments, shared only with each other (and Mako and Herc, because their jobs are twisted like that).

Pining is for Poets by Ishyko {M}

He’d never realized Chuck had dimples. Chuck had dimples and they made him breathtaking. Raleigh wanted to cry at the unfairness of it all.

Chuck's Body by intrikeyt {T}

Five different Rangers of the PPDC who saved Chuck Hansen from becoming a virgin sacrifice, and the one Ranger who decided to do something about it.

Bring the Rain by Macx {M}

Chuck Hansen; arrogant, smart-ass, an egotistical jerk with a ton of issues. Chuck Hansen; son of Herc Hansen. A Shifter like his father. Strong like his father. Just not an alpha. And not a wolf. Well, not completely. Not on the outside. Chuck Hansen; koala Shifter. With a wolf inside, and a temper and the claws to prove it. A Crossbreed. Raleigh didn't really know what hit him the first time they came together, before Operation Pitfall, but he knew he didn't want to let go of it.

I Need You So Much Closer by captainboomeraangs {T}

Five times people thought Raleigh and Yancy were fucking, plus one time Yancy and Raleigh can't believe people really think that.

Nothing But The Rain by theloverneverleaves {T}

Chuck Hansen has always hated the Kaiju, along with everything they stand for. It's just a fact of life. And with the end of the world approaching, he can't help but hate them just a little bit more. But when Raleigh Becket returns to the PPDC, he ends up bringing along more than just his piloting skills. The end of the world is coming, but when the world discovers the Kaiju can look human too, they realise there's more to the alien invaders than meets the eye.

The Kaiju Underground by GutterBall

A Life Less Ordinary {M}

Long story short, Raleigh takes Chuck hostage with a candybar, and then a gritty (slashy) reboot of the movie kind of happens. This is what might have happened if the boys had met without knowing who the other was first.

All the Bastards Here Are Cold {T}

After the events of A Life Less Ordinary, Raleigh eventually has to stop and take a moment to determine how he's dealing with everything that happened. The short answer is: not. At all. He's only done what he's done since the Gipsy Danger disaster, which is barely maintain. So what does he do now that he has a future and someone who clearly wants to share it with him? That's right. Freak right the hell out.

For the First Time by suyari {T}

Chuck Hansen is a 1st grade teacher at a private academy. He knows teachers aren't supposed to have favorites, but he absolutely adores his bright young student Jamie Becket. The kid's father however...is another matter entirely. or The one in which Raleigh is a single parent, Yancy is a doting uncle, and Chuck falls head over heels for an awesome kid before even giving his dad a second glance.

I'll Give you Fucking Romance by happyinthesilence {M}

Raleigh has been out of town and Chuck just wants to welcome him home. Contrary to what everyone thinks he is capable of romance. He is Dammit!

Where My Demons Hide by Wyndewalker {E}

When Yancy Becket died still connected to Raleigh in the Drift, Raleigh lost everything, including part of his soul. Unable to deal with the reminders and accusations that he'd killed his Alpha Guardian brother Raleigh fled the Anchorage Shatterdome. Five years later Raleigh Becket is living a half-life waiting for the wrong move to send him plummeting to his death on the Wall. Then Marshal Pentecost, his former commanding officer, tracks him down for one final mission against the alien Kaiju. Raleigh decides the conn-pod of a Jaeger is as good a place to die as any. He never expected to care again. He certainly didn't expect to find his Alpha.

Love Angle by Amethystina {T}

Chuck honestly had no idea how easy it is to fall in love with one of your neighbours until it's already happening. Raleigh from flat 314 is far too kind, far too genuine, and far too attractive for his own good, and Chuck can't help being drawn to him. He can't help falling in love. Which doesn't seem like that big of a deal, until Raleigh's girlfriend makes an appearance. Then it becomes a whole different story and Chuck pretends that it doesn't break his heart, one tiny sliver at a time, to watch Raleigh and Mako be happy together. But really, he's not fooling anyone. Chuck's life officially sucks.

Conversing Without Words by BorrowedBlueBox {T}

In which Chuck is emotionally stunted and doesn't know how to tell Raleigh how he feels, because he doesn't hate Raleigh at all. Also, Chuck's totally not a school girl with a crush, except he totally is.

Carnival of Rust by Raine_Wynd {E}

Five years ago, Chuck was on the verge of admitting he'd fallen in love, but the man he wanted fell in love with someone else. Now Raleigh's back and determined not to get his heart broken again. Can Chuck convince Raleigh otherwise? Or will the PPDC's new peacetime mission get in the way?

Lips Like Candy by galaxy_parchment {T}

Raleigh has a sweet tooth and Chuck has noticed.

chose not to fall but try again by caelestys {T}

Something smells delicious, and he can’t quite find it in himself to complain about the clanking water pipes and the cold hallways, because someone is inside, cooking real food. No mass produced, gloopy mashed potatoes or powdered eggs—real food, like what they had before the Kaiju Wars. His feet walk him, almost without thought or permission, into the kitchen. Raleigh finds Chuck cooking at 2am.

The Lost Proposal by BorrowedBlueBox {M}

Raleigh loses an important document, Yancy sends him to a strange computer repair shop, the ginered hair tech support keeps flirting with Raleigh and the two go on a date. If it isn't obvious by now, I'm not good with summaries. I promise the story is better.

Dance Lessons by GutterBall

The Mating Dance of the Majestic Hippo {T}

The Proposal AU nobody asked for! For those who haven't seen The Proposal, Raleigh is a mild-mannered, long-suffering assistant to the editor in chief, the uptight control freak Chuck Hansen. When Chuck is set for deportation, he blackmails Raleigh into a fake engagement with the end game of marrying him for the three years required for him to become a citizen. Unfortunately, the U.S. Immigration offices are not impressed, forcing the two into visiting Raleigh's family in Alaska to bolster their claims of genuine love. The only problem: they kinda despise each other. Which is when all the fun starts.

The Dance Continues {E}

A month after the events of The Mating Dance of the Majestic Hippo, Chuck and Raleigh are still exploring this new relationship. They may be married, but getting together isn't the same as staying together, and they both still have their issues to deal with. But this is Raleigh's last day as Chuck's assistant, and Chuck's taking it hard. He's trying to hide it because he knows it's selfish, but he can't help how he feels. Luckily, Raleigh can.

This Ain't Ballroom Dancing {T}

This installment takes place after the events in The Dance Continues, after Raleigh tops Chuck for the first time. Chuck has to think really hard about the implications. Raleigh… well, he's maybe not as supportive as he could be. He laughs a lot. A LOT.

Dog Sitter by Amethystina {G}

Chuck isn't a very trusting person — especially when it comes to who gets to watch Max. Problem is, Chuck has run out of options for potential dog sitters and Mako assures him that her friend Raleigh is very reliable, so he might just have to trust this guy. Grudgingly. When Chuck eventually meets Raleigh, well, he is admittedly quite distracted by how handsome he is. It's probably bad manners to want to fuck your dog sitter, right?

Two-Step Foxtrot by GutterBall {T}

Raleigh trips in the mess hall, and Chuck catches him. By sort of dipping him. Everything else springs from that one little accident. It's a complete foxtrot, and I ain't talkin' about the dance step.

And a Dope with a Charlie Brown Tree by GutterBall {T}

During the first December after Pitfall, Raleigh suddenly gets a wild hair up his ass about making Christmas a huge deal. The weirdo starts giving Chuck all sorts of odd presents and setting up situations designed to make Chuck smile. Chuck... is nonplussed. And grumpy. Shenanigans are afoot.

Christmas is Not Sweater Weather for an Australian by galaxy_parchment {T}

Chuck is introduced to the wonders of ugly Christmas jumpers and needless to say he's not at all thrilled at the idea.

Operation Save Christmas by estei {E}

Chuck is on a mission to save Christmas. Yeah, it’s weird for him, too. He quickly finds himself out of his depth, so he enlists the help of his father and Mako. Predictably, chaos ensues.

The Great Cookie Caper by estei {T}

Herc is not amused. Until he is. Damn those clownshoes.

Turn Around, Bright Eyes by GutterBall {T}

Chuck gets stuck watching over Raleigh as he's coming out of anesthesia. Raleigh says a few things, Chuck doesn't know what to make of them, and the ridiculous pair of clownshoes have no idea what to do about it. This was intended to be cracky fluff in the same vein as those cell phone videos of the wacky things anesthetized patients say, but these guys make everything so much more complicated. It can never just be easy. Nooooo.

The Little Shatterdome Around the Corner by GutterBall {E}

The "You've Got Mail" AU no one asked for! While Raleigh's working on the Wall, he starts trading emails with a guy he met on a now-defunct academy message board. They tacitly agree to not give away any details of their lives, mostly because… they're both jaeger pilots (one disgraced and one too full of himself for his own good), and they would both be almost universally recognized if they did, which would ruin the whole "secret confidante" thing they have working for them. Then, Stacker Pentecost starts putting his final plan into motion, and suddenly, the two pen pals are both in Hong Kong. The events of the movie play out as scripted, with one exception: Chuck lives. And he finds out who his pen pal really is. Now what the hell is he supposed to do?

Old Dog, New Tricks by GutterBall

Baby Steps {G}

When Raleigh nearly dies during Pitfall, Chuck surprises everyone (but Herc) by surviving and, for some reason, biting Raleigh. It turns out, Chuck is also a dog and has been since birth, and now Raleigh is a dog, too. A puppy, actually, because he's new. But hey, he's alive, right? Even if he needs lessons on the whole "how to dog" thing.

Salty Dog {T}

Someone thought it would be a good idea to puppy-snatch Raleigh and demand money from the PPDC to keep word of a shapeshifting jaeger pilot out of the news. Chuck thinks that might not be the best idea and takes matters into his own hands. Claws. Teeth.

In the Doghouse {M}

After the puppynapping incident, Chuck asks Raleigh to always take Max with him when he wants to go off alone. As a bodyguard, of a sort. Though initially reluctant, Raleigh discovers that Max is the best enforcer ever and starts spending more and more time with the dog. Chuck... is not pleased.

Don’t Stop Retrievin’ {M}

Chuck's having a hard time knowing what he's about these days. Yeah, he and Raleigh are together, but... what does "together" really mean? He's always telling Raleigh "anything you want", but what does Chuck want? Why does he sometimes just want to look at the pretty bloke? And what, exactly, is Herc up to?

Puppy Kisses {E}

Chuck rarely stays a dog after Raleigh shifts back, so when he does, Raleigh does his best to enjoy the novelty. For some reason, it makes Chuck a little more frisky than usual, and... yeah. These two clownshoes are finally ready for the next step. Until Chuck drops something of a bombshell that reminds Raleigh that, while he's the puppy when they're dogs, he really is older and more experienced than Chuck in a lot of ways.

He Followed Me Home. Can I Keep Him? {M}

Follows right after the events of Puppy Kisses. Chuck can't immediately talk about claiming. It's so personal for him, because it's one of the last things he shared with his mother. Plus, there's sex to be had. But he really, really doesn't want Raleigh to question how much Chuck wants to be with him, so... he talks. They really are getting better at this communication thing. And Herc may never not have heart eyes again.

Lavender's Blue, Dilly Dilly, Lavender's Green by Gothams_Only_Wolf {T}

Raleigh Becket loves to clean, do laundry and... well, sing. Chuck Hansen is a ruthless CEO who hates people in his sparkling clean flat. It's when the cleaning service Chuck hires screws up his place that he looks into hiring a new one. LOCCENT Laundry Services and a canceled meeting bring together two lonely souls. AKA the Maid in Manhattan/Cinderella AU

These Two Clownshoes by GutterBall

These Two Clownshoes {M}

When Chuck comes down with a virulent flu and makes himself impossible, Raleigh offers to step in to give Mako and Herc a breather, even though he's probably as welcome in Chuck's bunk as a new breed of kaiju. Chuck, however, is far more ill than he led everyone to believe, and Raleigh switches over to protective mode with a vengeance.

Recalibration {G}

This is Chuck's point of view of Chapter 10's sleepy cuddles.

The Right Sandalwood {T}

This is Chuck's POV of the lead-up to Raleigh's nightmare and the aftermath.

Happy Fucking Birthday {T}

Chuck suddenly remembers that it's Raleigh's birthday. Worse, it's his first birthday since they've been together, and Chuck feels like an asshole because how the hell could he forget? Christmas preparations for the shatterdome aside, this birthday should've been the first thing on his mind. Luckily, Herc is a strategist, and Chuck gets a lot of help from some familiar faces.

Discount Double-Check by GutterBall {T}

Raleigh's been working out at the Kaidanovskys' gym for years when Chuck moves into the neighborhood and blows in like an arrogant, angry hurricane. Everyone sort of avoids him, so -- for whatever reason -- The Jerk singles Raleigh out to hatch an evil plan to save 20% on his gym membership. Things go awry.

There Is No Loch Ness Monster in Maine by GutterBall {M}

When Chuck Hansen, paleontologist for a prestigious New York museum, catches his boss in flagrante with his dad, he's quickly shipped off to investigate a spurious report of an animal attack in Maine. There, he meets the snarky county sheriff, Mako Mori, and the "the only words I have are salty" Fish and Game officer, Raleigh Becket. Sarcastic shenanigans ensue, during which there might be a giant murderbeast swimming around some random lake in Maine. And Chuck gets routinely dunked in the lake and pelted with severed heads.

It Ain't Moonlight, But It'll Do by GutterBall {T}

Healing after closing the Breach doesn't mean no one has nightmares anymore. Sometimes, they're bad enough to make another attempt at sleep an awful idea. On those occasions, a former jaeger pilot might take a certain amount of comfort from walking the shatterdome hallways. Another former jaeger pilot might take solace from cooking amazing grilled cheese sandwiches in the harsh fluorescent lighting of the shatterdome kitchens. At some point, those paths almost have to cross, even if the stubborn jerks go out of their way not to cross paths any other time.

Touch-a Touch-a Touch-a Touch Me by GutterBall {M}

Herc is desperate. He can understand Chuck not wanting anything to do with him, but the kid has deliberately shoved away everyone who might have gotten close to him and is determinedly alone in the world. So, he decides to talk to his ol' pal, Stacker Pentecost, who happens to run a private therapy center that offers a new, experimental treatment for people in Chuck's position. Pentecost's star caseworker? Raleigh "call me Cuddles" Becket. As Captain Jack Sparrow would say, complications arose and ensued.

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner by GutterBall {E}

Raleigh Becket used to be the up-and-coming chef to beat in the competitive cooking show world. Then, after beating four Iron Chefs in a row, he disappeared, and everyone forgot about him. Five years and four months later, he signs up for a new cooking show, The Cutting Board, because he and Yancy desperately need the money. The problem? The show's executives think to improve ratings by forcing him to pretend to be the gay ex-lover of current cooking wunderkind, Chuck Hansen, arrogant jerk extraordinaire.

A Very Hansen Christmas by WeekendWriter {T}

If there's one thing Chuck isn't, it's contrary. He's not. And his family absolutely has something else to say about that. When Chuck takes to ignoring his newfound blonde friend from medical, Herc enlists Mako's scheming abilities to help get them back together. It takes a bit of mistletoe, some slight of engineering-hand, and one normally-missing Scott Hansen. Needless to say, it'll take a Christmas Miracle.

Special Delivery by GutterBall {G}

After Pitfall, Raleigh walked out of the shatterdome without so much as a goodbye. Shortly after, though, he started sending letters to Chuck. Nothing too flowery or soul-searchy. Just... letters. Chuck, who's not used to getting mail, isn't quite sure what to make of them. After eleven months, though, he's pretty sure he likes them.

...Mate by softjohn {G}

Raleigh’s small huff of laughter caught Chuck’s fading attention and he raised his head, eyes heavy, to see Raleigh smirking at him over his shoulder. ‘Never would’ve pegged you for such an aggressive cuddler,’ Raleigh said, clearly amused. Chuck grinned back at him. ‘I’m full of surprises, mate.’ Raleigh’s smirk faded into something softer. ‘Yeah, I noticed.'

Breaking Habits by Klayr_de_Gall {_}

If you need a new PPDC-sweater, you only have to ask. Chuck Hansen has his own solution for that problem.

Head Over Boots by catwrites {_}

Raleigh and Chuck are having a competition to see who is better at planning dates for the other. Too bad Chuck doesn't actually know about it.

we were a paradise by littletrenchcoatangel {T}

(or: yancy is the ultimate wingman) "I think you should tell him how you feel," Yancy says. "Tell him how I feel?" Raleigh echoes. "Tell who?" Yancy nods at the table a few behind theirs, where Herc and Chuck are arguing over whether it's polite to let the dog eat at the table. "Herc?" Raleigh asks stupidly. "I don't feel anything for Herc." Yancy rolls his eyes, saying nothing. God help his moron of a brother.

Breeding Habits of the Stubborn Jaeger Pilot by Reiwyn {E}

OR Hansen’s the Endangered Species. With a population severely dwindled by the Kaiju war the human race must now resort to drastic measures in order to survive. Hence a new law is decreed, TOPA- The Omega Protection Act. It states all Omega must be mated by their first heat or assigned an Alpha by a outside official. Jaeger pilots are top of this list, viewed as heroes they are in high demand and to land one is like mating to royalty. That’s all great and dandy for some but with his first heat around the corner Chuck ain’t lettin’ no Alpha knock him up.

Love of your damn life by estei {T}

The Kaiju Insurrection by elrond50 {E}

Kaiju worshipers take an active role in the war and two families find their destinies interwoven.

One Night by Inktvis {M}

Raleigh woke up with a dog standing on his bladder, Chuck Hansen's breath fanning over his collarbone and naked as the day he was born. As far as mornings went it was a lot to take in at once.

Pacific Regency by elrond50 {M}

Lord Charles Hansen's secret got out and changed his life. The Kaiju War changed things for the Becket family. The Rim is a long way from high society.

Bloody Wankers by GutterBall

You Suck {E}

Raleigh doesn't know why Chuck's a vampire. All he knows is that the kid needs to feed. Unfortunately, the big jerk is picky, and Raleigh's blood apparently isn't quite gourmet. Thus, Chuck is frustratingly invested in Raleigh's health and demands that he improve his diet. It's a matter of taste.

Eat Me {M}

Chuck didn't ask to be turned into a vampire, but he isn't exactly mad about it, either. Herc keeps him well-fed, and his improved strength, reflexes, and speed are definitely bonuses in his line of work. Unfortunately, the Double Event forced Chuck to make a decision he'd intended to put off for years, if not forever, when Herc's arm is broken. They might have to drop for Pitfall at any moment, and whilst the marshal offered to pilot with Chuck, there's a simpler solution: turn Herc so he'll be healed and fit for battle. The only problem: there goes his convenient, voluntary food source. Enter one ambrosia-smelling Raleigh Becket.

Pain in the Neck {T}

Raleigh and Mako are stuck in the medical bay after Pitfall, recuperating from Gipsy's missing or smashed limbs and under observation from falling through the Throat. Everything seems fine until Herc casually mentions that Chuck would be fussed if Raleigh left and Raleigh suddenly realizes he hasn't so much as glimpsed Chuck since the mission. Which leaves them both wondering if Chuck has fed since then. Spoiler alert: he hasn't.

Yancy is Done!by elrond50 {M}

Yancy is so Done!

Yancy loves his little brother, he really does, but there are limits.

Yancy is still Done!

Raleigh and Chuck have been married five years. Misunderstandings still happen.

Nurse Chuck by Farisya {E}

Chuck Hansen just wants to go home. He hasn't seen his bed in days. Then his least favorite patient shows up in the ER, again. His day gets a lot better from there.

Something Real by Raine_Wynd {T}

Post-Pitfall, Chuck almost screws up his shot at dating Raleigh.

until the Drift ends by WinchesterBurger

until the Drift ends {T}

“When they found your escape pod, your suit had already melted into your skin. It took them hours to get it off. You had burns all over your body and they managed to save almost everything, but your leg...” “How long was I out?” “Two months.” He wonders what would've happened if his escape pod had drowned instead. [Chuck survives the Pitfall, all thanks to Pentecost, but it takes him a long time to readjust. After having accepted that he's going to die, learning how to live again is harder than he expected. And Ghost Drifting with his dead copilot isn't helping.]

Today’s subject is none other than Chuck Hansen, who is her absolute favourite when it comes to rumours – partly because there’s always been so few of them including him. And mostly because after Pitfall, the majority of them also involve Ranger Beckett. or: Chuck and Raleigh's relationship told by very observant outsiders and one Mako Mori.

“I’m happy if you’re happy,” he replies, so very close to Chuck’s face that Chuck can see every little scar left on the man’s skin after years of working at the Wall. His eyes bore into Chuck’s, but they don’t make him uncomfortable. Raleigh never does. He thinks about it. Wonders, more like. “I am,” he whispers and, somehow, that’s true. “I’m happy.”

Chuck decides he deserves nice things, and Raleigh's sweaters are very, extremely nice, so.

My Dad the DILF by elrond50 {E}

Chuck ended up finishing high school in San Diego against his will. Everything that happened after he blames on his family.

“I realise that continuing to station you here would not be productive, not only because of… personal reasons, but also because the Jaegers stationed here do not need any more engineers now that the majority of Gipsy’s engineers have been reassigned.” He watched as the Marshal made his way to the other side of the room, his steps slow and deliberate in a way that only Stacker Pentecost could manage. “Instead, should you choose to accept my offer, you will be stationed at the Sydney Shatterdome.” Sydney? Was there even a Mark-3 stationed there? “Vulcan Specter?” The Marshal didn’t respond immediately. “Striker Eureka.” Or: The AU where Raleigh becomes an engineer/technician for Striker Eureka instead of a Wall construction worker.

The Sound of Your Storm by EvilPeaches {M}

They Drift together twice. And no. Raleigh doesn’t want to do it a third time. Compared to Mako’s precise ocean of a mind, Chuck’s is a colossal shitstorm of daddy issues and grandiose views of self-importance. His neural grip is like holding hands with someone who doesn’t know how to let go. It’s way above Raleigh’s pay grade and his ‘has-been ass’ wants no part of it.

"Son," Herc says, sounding more incredulous than Chuck ever thought he could. "Are you telling me you incurred a fifteen thousand dollar fine because you couldn't wait to get home to shag your boyfriend?"

“Chuck,” Herc said, his tone cutting. “I just got off the phone with Stacker.” Hope flared to life in his chest for a moment, “About Striker?” “Yes, he’s found someone.” A grin found its way onto Chuck’s face, the irritation momentarily pushed aside, “Will we be able to go on active duty again, then?” Herc winced, hand clenching into a fist at his side. “Son…the Marshal is bringing Raleigh Becket in.” Or: Herc is injured two months before Mutavore, and Raleigh happens to be his replacement. At least until Gipsy Danger is repaired. The only issue? Chuck Hansen.

Just as he means to turn back to the ocean, he feels vibrations reverberating through his backpack. Reluctantly, he fishes out his battered, beloved phone with a purple spot in the corner of its screen. [Unknown Number] got any new years eve plans yet? asking for a friend

Little Becket vs. Surly Australian by GarrulousGryffindor {M}

“Evening, deputy. Care for a drink? Or are you still on duty?” Raleigh asks smoothly as he comes up in front of Chuck, drying a glass with a bar cloth. Chuck takes in his appearance for a moment before shrugging a shoulder and looking around the bar. “Was looking for Mako actually,” he mumbles to Raleigh, looking unsure about the whole place. He sure doesn’t look comfortable. It’s the first time Raleigh has seen him without a hat and he can’t help but notice the reddish tint to what he’d thought was thick blond hair. “You’re working for Mako now?” There’s something in his tone that suggests he’s under the impression Raleigh is one of her ‘workers’. Raleigh feels his cheeks flush red and is about to open his mouth when Mako slides over beside him and throws an arm around his waist, smiling at Chuck. “He’s not for sale."

The One Thing I'm Sure Of (Is You) by Unknown {M}

Post Operation Pitfall, Raleigh and Chuck fall into the relationship of a lifetime. But when Chuck wants more, Raleigh lets the doom and gloom take over and bite him in the ass. With their relationship hanging on the line, Raleigh contemplates their end and mysteriously wakes up the next day three years in the future, getting a glimpse of their life together if he just sucks it up and, for once in his life, stays.
