oblights: runonthewind: whispers Pacific Rim AU for aldnoah. Setting; The Kaizuka siblings pilot the jaegarphrakt/katjaegar Sleipnir. With a record of 10 deployments, 10 victories, they are one of the best teams. One day, things go horribly wrong. A new breed of kaiju rips Yuki out of the cockpit. In a fit of desperation, Inaho manages to pilot the mecha solo long enough to save Yuki in time for the reinforcement katjaegar to arrive. Inaho becomes a legend that day, as no one has ever managed to solo pilot a katjaegar much less rescue a co-pilot already ripped out of the cockpit, but at a price. Due to the heavy neural strain caused by the incident, he goes blind in his left eye. Yuki loses function of the left side of her body and can only move two of the fingers on her left hand. But at least she is alive. Yuki is out of commission. Doctors say she will recover, but it will take months, even years before she can walk again. They fit her with an arm brace and put her through physical therapy. Inaho refuses to pilot without her, no one else is drift compatible with him anyway. Yuki encourages him to pilot again, “You’re a good pilot, it’ll be a waste of your skills to keep you grounded. No need to wait for me,” she says. Inaho is convinced he’ll never find anyone else drift compatible with him. Then he meets Slaine. oh, but what if?Slaine is already somewhat of a legend of his own in the European division, having needed to brute-force prove himself because few people ever took his old, fragile, bit of a cry-baby self seriously. Few people ever bothered to care.When he’s introduced to Inaho, he can’t help thinking he’s too self-absorbed and a smart-ass; likewise, Inaho thinks Slaine is too brash, and doesn’t have control enough over his emotions. But humanity has been pushed too the brink, and must use all the forces they have, so they are made to work together.In a test run, Slaine loses control and relives his worst memory–when his family is slaughtered by kaiju, his hometown destroyed. Inaho experiences this via the neurolink, learning how Saazbaum saved his life and mentored him into becoming the ace jaeger pilot Slaine’s grown to become. When the two become prohibited from piloting together, Inaho realizes this is a mistake, and tries to reach out to Slaine. He realizes their shared traumatic experience can be used as a force to be reckoned with if they get their minds to go through with them via the neurolink.Ashamed and angry, Slaine at first has no interest in going through with this. But Inaho is persistent, to the point of telling his story even after a door is slammed in his face, hoping that the other is listening. But Slaine comes around, and just in time, too, because the kaiju are making their final stand, and if either of them want humanity to live, they have no choice but to work together. -- source link
