Feeling oddly nostalgic seeing an unexpected smattering of Pacific Rim posts on my dash. Made me wonder where the Jaeger Pilot AUs have gone, all the fun drift compatibility stuff? I suddenly rather badly want Aylin and Isobel being in each other's heads and being super used to and excellent at being in each other's heads, in a giant winged robot fighting kaiju. With a big sword. It's called... the Lady of Silver or something like that. Notable for its unique silver shield ability that has saved their crucially positioned shatterdome on many an occasion.

Oops, I have ideas manifesting in great numbers… putting them under the cut.

Aylin is some sort of Jaeger Program wunderkind who's been involved with it pretty much all her life, and who is not truly drift compatible with anyone for the same mysterious reason she is incredibly great at piloting - she can pilot a jaeger all by herself for great stretches of time, which is unheard of and very much Not Recommended, but she seems to have a near-supernatural ability to bear and recover from the mental and physical load. And so I guess they… let her do it and kind of wash their hands of it because they can't really afford to be picky, and she's just so damn good at it and very efficient, and, ultimately, it's her own nervous system to fry, right?

Until, of course, Isobel bursts onto the scene. She isn't even at the base in a piloting-related capacity, initially - her father is the general that runs it, and she is some sort of medical expert, has devoted her life to studying the drift and related phenomena and its effects on pilots, and is ultimately seeking to improve it and the neural interface somehow. So she's working with the pilots, checking in with them pre- and post- missions and similar, and then during some fairly routine test it turns out that she and Aylin are drift compatible on some totally unprecedented and miraculous level. Also, obviously, they're in love and Isobel shows actual care and concern for Aylin's well-being as a person rather than a weapon and all that good stuff.

Isobel decides to take to the frontlines, go through training and become a pilot, showing great aptitude herself. The two pilot the Lady of Silver with resounding success for a while, despite Ketheric's disapproval (among many other things he cites as concerns, Ketheric's long-ago drift partner was his wife, Melodia, who died of illness related to the imperfect radiation shielding in the old jaeger models).

The future, for a while, seems bright, their contribution is really turning the tide of the conflict, especially when it comes to Isobel's super special shield… until Isobel is targeted and killed, or near-killed, mid-mission, mid-drift - Aylin just barely survives the incident, something nobody would have ordinarily survived, managing to bring whatever is left of the jaeger (and Isobel) back to base somehow, at great personal cost. Ketheric blames her for everything - officially for some misconduct and the failure of the mission, privately for not protecting his daughter, and has her court-martialled and jailed. But then it turns out that for the same reason Aylin was extraordinarily capable at piloting while also being horrible to drift with initially, her abilities can be harnessed using a process developed by Ketheric's chief scientist Balthazar, and so she gets regularly taken out of her special solitary confinement and plugged into some kind of interface that enables Ketheric to pilot the extremely powerful jaeger, now rebuilt as Nightsong, by himself (at least, that's what it looks like to an outside observer). The shield, however, remains impossible without Isobel.

Years later, Isobel gets brought back to life, or out of whatever suspended state she was being kept in, via some unprecedented and horrifying experimental procedure Ketheric authorises his creepy head scientist Balthazar to perform, possibly involving using actual kaiju-related DNA/parts/tech etc., something from beyond the Breach and created by the Precursors (I needed to look this up, but it might go great with extra helpings of the Absolute brain-fuckery parallels - like, say, they have developed damaging and invasive "T.A.D.P.O.L.E." tech trying to supplant "regular" drift), the very enemies they are supposed to be protecting the world from. Obviously Ketheric has in the meantime secretly switched to actually collaborating with them, in his obsession with bringing Isobel back, and this is causing a huge crisis and endangering the very existence of humanity.

Then, well, things happen with other characters presumably involved, also Jaheira is there taking over the shatterdome, but ultimately Aylin and Isobel are reunited after Ketheric's defeat and ousting. And they still return to drifting and fighting the good fight in their reclaimed jaeger, even though they are both, honestly, extremely in danger of chasing the rabbit and all that, but they can't bear to idly stand by in the face of innocents, nay, the world being in danger. You know how they both are.

Do you ever put together an outfit and think “this looks cool as hell. Unfortunately I can’t think of a single situation for which it would ever be appropriate to wear in the real world”?

You know about like 2 years ago now I'd wonder why so many people would get mad everytime someone brought up Omori.

Now everytime I hear a person mention Omori I mentally project them blowing up.
