fic & fandom sideblog for the quarry. main blog @windfalling

[hackearneyarchive]

Do you have any newer hackearney fics you’d recommend?

Yes!! Every new fic that gets added to this fandom is truly something special and deserves attention and here’s some newer ones I have gone back and re read ….far to many times already lol

Burning Down the House by @turbo-virgins . Alt meeting and how this changes everything going forward. Laura already . 1 chapter so far and I’m already on the edge of seat with excitement.

Scenes from the Drift by @absenthearted . You like pacific rim? You like pacific rim aus?? Not only is hackearney blessed with one it’s blessed with a FANTASTIC one. They’ve written a main series (Laura POV) and a side story from Travis’s and it truly feels like this is from the film series with all the detail and world building

you and i both know that the house is haunted (you and i both know that the ghost is me). By @ohmaggies . My god is this one incredible. You ever down bad enough to use black magic to bring someone back ? Well here you are. So happy the author reposted this work because I am a huge fan of their stuff !

This Must Be the Place by @writebythecside . Life after the quarry and what that could look like. Gives an amazing (and tragic) backstory for Laura that adds so much more and also Travis with babies? Travis with cute little babies ??? It’s everything

Mating Season by Everest_T1 (idk if they have tumblr but if so hi!!) VERY heavy stuff. TW for Rape/Non Con, Graphic Violence and Blood. An alt take when Travis cuffs Laura to pipe and the attack by Max is much, MUCH more violent. The heavy emotional impact this dealt to me ?? My god. Hoping to see more and how the relationship progresses

Constellation by @sgt-littledick . Virgin Travis…. Virgin Travis I love you so much . Amazing, Sweet , False_Mortal never misses

FIC: RETROSPECTIVE ANALYSIS the quarry | travis/laura | pacific rim AU | oneshot

His gaze drifts to her, wherever she is, any time she's around.

Travis Hackett has his future laid out: step down from active piloting, work as an instructor at the Jaeger Academy, and mentor the next generation of rangers until he dies or the world ends—whichever comes first.

Then the new recruits arrive, and he meets a cadet whose existence threatens to derail his retirement plans.

[stand-alone prequel to before the ending, a dance]

FIC: BEFORE THE ENDING, A DANCE the quarry | travis/laura | pacific rim AU | 58k words | now complete

The day after the kaiju attack on Anchorage, Laura Kearney has her first drift compatibility trial with her partner. It doesn’t go well.

Seven years after the apocalypse begins, Laura Kearney enlists in the Jaeger Academy on Kodiak Island. There, she meets Travis Hackett, her instructor and a retired Jaeger ranger. To achieve her dream of piloting a Jaeger, Laura must find a drift-compatible partner. It's just not as easy as she thinks.

Ao3 version that lets you open the 'director's cut' where I, the author, explain every detail in excruciating detail to you and what it is in reference to.

and all the ways i'd keep you safe, i keep you safe from me.

hackearney | 28k (complete) | canon-divergent time-loop au | explicit | written by ohmaggies.

“If you call me ma’am one more time,” she mutters, “I’m going to shove your badge up your dickhole.”

“I wouldn’t blame you,” he admits. Still, there’s an undercurrent of hatred in his voice that doesn’t go unnoticed. “Might come to that.”

“Well… I hope it doesn’t,” she replies, grimacing. “Seriously. I’d rather bandage up the empty socket of my left eye again than do that.”

“From the first loop, the eye,” Travis says.

Laura nods to clarify. “Yeah. First loop. So, uh, that’s what we’re calling it, then? Loops?”

“I’m open to suggestions regarding the naming of whatever it is we’ve gotten ourselves into.” His smile falters in the slightest, but he doesn’t shift away. “I’d be more amendable to an explanation, though, if the offer’s on the table.”

it's only after killing each other half a dozen times that they finally realise the only way to make it to the sunrise of august 23rd is to work together.

or: murder as a love language.
