    Summary

    *** DO NOT COPY / DO NOT REPOST ***

    The voices promised him fire; the silence left him hollow. Living with a phantom limb pain in his consciousness, Aerion Targaryen is searching for an impact—one heavy enough to stop the buzzing forever, or hot enough to burn him out completely.

    A brutal strike to the head ended the divine whispers that once defined him. Now, navigating a life of cold static, Aerion must decide what a Targaryen prince becomes when the madness stops—and the human reality begins.

    Is he a God losing his divinity, or a madman losing his delusions?

    Great alt character study. Not really slash, more fix it style. Solid writing & story

    Comment: “Ugh this is So Good I’m obsessed. I was enthralled with the setup of Aerion’s ego being usurped by fear from the assassination attempt. But then the entire work was so well executed, Aerion’s personality change was enough to be significant, while still feeling familiar enough to not be completely alien. It was still him, just with more internal conflict and self-doubt. I so thoroughly enjoyed reading this, by far the highest caliber work I’ve read so far in the Dunkaerion tag. Lovely job, thank you for sharing your writing!”

    Summary

    Theo Raeken would do anything--endure anything--if it meant keeping Liam safe.

    Liam's not sure why Theo's always saving him--doesn't even know why he cares (not that he does care about Theo Raeken, not in the slightest).

    What Liam does know is that this time... this time, he's going to be the one doing the saving. No matter what anyone else has to say about it.
    ___
    Or, what if Theo was captured during the distraction at the zoo.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Fantastic writing that was expertly poetic without being hyperbolic or self aggrandizing like purple prose. Really phenomenal handle on character and internal monologues & thought process.

    Liam, Theo, and Nolan’s POVs were all wonderfully handled. But I was also really impressed with Corey (in Liam’s POV). There’s one scene in particular I loved but he’s also just a core part of the fic & written well. There’s another little moment with Mason (again from Liam’s POV) that’s lovely.

    Author’s handle on interpersonal relationships is impressive. How characters think and then how they behave because of it. They also do a great job of subverting expectations without being disconcerting.

    Actual plot is great too. Not a massive action adventure but still high stakes & some consequences and difficulties with those stakes. An interesting story where I was genuinely surprised and shook by things that happened.

    Has a few great moments of Liam witnessing Theo’s humanity & it causing turmoil cause he’s still trying to convince himself Theo is bad.

    I also didn’t expect to enjoy Nolan as much as I did, he’s usually not a character I’m particularly interested in but was handled well. Fic really acknowledges his role as the pawn by both sides of the war.

    Definitely heed the Trigger Warnings though.

     

    ⚠️ TRIGGER WARNINGS ⚠️

    Heavily implied suicidal thoughts, VERY GRAPHIC HALLUCINATIONS (multi-sensory), derealization, non-consensual drug use (torture method), torture & sensory deprivation, PTSD, trauma, relationship abuse from abuser present in the fic
    (Referenced rape. Manipulation: love bombing, coercion, gaslighting, diminishing, infantilizing, threats).

    Plus canon-typical stuff w/ violence, kidnapping & torture, Theo’s homelessness, trauma, injury & stunted healing, self-loathing etc.

    I think the two TW to be cautious of a really the relationship abuse one & the hallucinations as both are fairly graphic and central to sections of the fic.

    It’s a great fic though, as this essay probably shows.

     

    ✒️ SPOILER FREE SNIPPETS I REALLY LIKED 🖋️

    “ Theo wasn’t the mechanical, toxic silver that leaked out like oil whenever he broke down like some old rusted car. Theo was mossy green, all shady and damp and often cold, but natural and sometimes beautiful and always special– always worth it. ”

    “ He tried to push Theo out of his thoughts, just for a minute–just for a second –but he couldn't. Not here, not while all Liam could smell was Theo. His laundry, his lingering chemo signals, but also–just him. Just his natural scent of musk and pine–with a hint of citrus shampoo. It was so overwhelming to the senses, so striking that even when he tried to clear his mind the smell would hit “

    “ Liam’s anger was always a good deterrent for people. It kept them away, kept them from getting too close. It… scared them. Made them afraid of him. And while Liam hated how exceptionally angry he got, he had to admit that it always allowed him to get away from people. Allowed him to run.
It… didn’t work on Theo.
Theo wasn’t afraid of him. ”

    “ They were catching against the oxygen in his lungs and burning . And maybe it hurt, maybe it made it hard to exist, to truly breathe, but it was making the world seem just a bit brighter, too–just a bit more beautiful. His sun–his all-consuming personality of ordinary evil –was dying now, but as it did so it also brightened the reality of it all. ”

    Such a fun and heartwarming read.

    Wally is sent to Bart’s apocalyptic future when he disappears in s2. He rescues Bart from the Reach, so that Bart can rescue the timeline. Heartwarming family bonding in the future + Detective Dick Grayson in the present.

    One of my favorite Bart featured fics to date, though it is more Wally-centric.

    Summary

    It's just Hawks getting hurt and the league helping him! Some of the stories can get a little heavy, but they all have happy endings and a ton of fluff to balance out all of the sadness! <3 None are connected unless otherwise stated, and I'm hoping to slowly come through and edit these! Also, I'm on Tiktok under the same name, please come tag me in ANYTHING fic related!

    The GOAT of Dabihawks series

    Summary

    With his co-pilot Natsuo injured after a particularly bad Kaiju battle and their Zenith class Jaeger in pieces, star pilot Keigo is forced to stay idle for a while. Snooping around the Shatterdome out of sheer boredom one day, he picks up on some unsettling rumors about a huge Kaiju wave that’s bound to hit their region within the next weeks.

    In order to save the understaffed base and actually the whole country too, he goes looking for the only other Zenith class pilot far and wide: the missing Touya Todoroki.
    But as it turns out, he’s leading a different life under a new name now and has no interest in ever getting back into a Jaeger. He’s done with piloting; he’s done with letting other people into his mind; and he most certainly is done with being anywhere near his father.

    As Keigo attempts to convince Dabi to try again for the sake of humanity, he more and more feels like he’s getting to know someone he already has memories of. But during all his years as a pilot, he had never seen this man before.

    So why does it feel like Dabi and him are already in some kind of drift?

     

    In other words:
    a DabiHawks Pacific Rim + Soulmate AU, because they’re fucking drift compatible
