Thirty years ago, a fissure opened in the ocean floor and unleashed creatures from another dimension upon an unsuspecting planet. When the world is ending, only two things can save it: the power of love - and giant, kaiju-fighting robots. 

Crystal Palace fled the Jaeger Program after the death of her partner and now scratches out a living hauling stolen parts for illegal mech cage-fights in exchange for cash and the odd ration card. She’s satisfied with the grubby anonymity of her new life, until a face from the past arrives to pull her back into a jaeger. 

Niko Sasaki was never supposed to be a jaeger pilot. After the death of her family in a kaiju attack, her guardian moulded her for command: the Jaeger Program is her inheritance. However, in a dying world, plans change, and Niko finds herself preparing to step into battle with the girl whose heart she broke.

HOLLA IT'S CHAPTER TWO AND THE GIRLS ARE FIGHTIIIIIIIING!

Thanks as ever go to @dear-monday and @tumblerislovetumblerislife for being the best cheerleaders a very frazzled fic author could possibly ask for.

Special thanks must go to @the-ipre, who very generously took the time to give me a speed-run through genetic variations, of which they are a specialist. This was GREATLY appreciated, and any abuse of biology and genetics is down to my very unsciency-brain and not their teaching <3

CHAPTER THREE, BABY. Niko and Crystal take a ride in their Get-Along Jaeger, while Charles makes some very unsavoury friends trying to get hold of that kaiju brain!

I am beyond psyched to show you some of the art for this fic, created by the wonderful @pappelsiin who took my garbled ideas and turned them into something I am going to print and frame. Their art is transcendental; please go and show them the love they deserve!

Thank you for the love and the comments; I am pathetically grateful to anyone trundling along with me on this slightly janky ride <333

I'm in a little local cafe and the women behind the counter started griping to each other, "Oh Christ, Stephen's back again," "It's him, is it? I thought he'd stopped coming," "It's definitely him, look, it's bloody Stephen on a Thursday morning," "Do you want me to get rid of him or are you going to do it?" and so I was peering outside, trying to spot this nightmare customer, this pestilence of a person, this pox upon the cafe trade, and then one of the women from behind the counter ran outside, clapping two trays together loudly and yelling "GET OUT OF IT, STEPHEN!" and it turns out that Stephen is an absolutely gigantic fuck-off seagull who hangs around outside, menacing people for crumbs

[“After I had learned enough about lesbians to hold my own, I reached out to Joan Nestle for an interview. We made our own oral history video, one that I hope will live on in her archive as well as mine.

“Is this helping?” she asked early on in our conversation. “You have to put up with me because I’m eighty-one.”

I thought I would be intimidated by her, but I was charmed. She asked about my cat, asleep in my video background. She brought her partner on screen, the woman who had led her to leave New York for Australia decades ago.

Because the Lesbian Herstory Archives was a project of the 1970s, I feared that Joan would share her contemporaries’ narrow definition of lesbian. She dispelled my fear before I could even come up with the courage to ask. “To me, lesbian incorporates queer, it incorporates trans, it incorporates bi, it incorporates intersex, because lesbians occupied all those positions.”

I had planned to just ask her about the details of Mabel’s life. “The loss to me personally,” she said, “is too huge to even talk about, even after all these years.” Instead, we had a conversation full of digressions. She took us from Eleanor Roosevelt (lesbian) to sex workers (also lesbian) to her own reasons for becoming a lesbian archivist. “The archives was created to break the concept of fame,” she told me. “If you have the courage to touch another woman and to claim that touch . . . that, for us, was fame enough.” ]

Everything we tried to contain is now loose in the streets of Manhattan. This was caused by a new type of hostile resonance. It’s beyond anything that we can currently measure. Our reality is bent to follow an anomalous pattern, warping time… Gravity. Light. Even the way we think. It’s all quite terrifying… And fascinating. CONTROL RESONANT (2026) dev. Remedy Entertainment
