After twelve years of war, humanity stood almost on the edge of collapse under ever-increasing Kaiju attacks.
Newt was the last scientist left in the entiret of the PPDC, and at the end of everyone’s collective rope, he decided to do something crazy to try and save everyone: opening a small Breach inside his lab to get to the Alterverse and gather as much information on Kaiju as he can before it’s too late.
What he found on the other side, however, was not what he expected. Instead of an alien world, Newt found himself in a medieval land where knights battled against dragons…
Dragons that bleed in a familiar blue color.

So happy to finally post the first chapter of this! it's an au I've been keeping in the back of my mind for quite some time now, and this first part was one I always liked a lot. Newt developing and working inside the PPDC and k-sci without Hermann by his side was really interesting to figure out.
I started this for the newmann fic exchange and even if it turned out different than I expected, I'm still happy to release this fic into the wild. Be free!
