FIC: Ghost in the Machine - Pacific Rim, PG, gen (Chuck, Raleigh, Herc, Tendo)
Title: Ghost in the Machine
Author: Jo (jo@fadedink.com)
Fandom: Pacific Rim
Pairing: Chuck Hansen/Raleigh Becket (sort of), Chuck Hansen & Raleigh Becket, Chuck Hansen & Herc Hansen
Rating: PG
Word count: 17000
Summary: Chuck Hansen's first Drift is a disaster. But what Tendo discovers several days later shocks the entire Shatterdome. Soon enough, they discover that you don't necessarily need a body to co-pilot a Jaeger.
Disclaimer: These characters do not belong to me. I'm just playing with them for a while. Eternal love and devotion to Travis Beacham & Guillermo del Toro for creating this universe.
Author's Notes: My contribution to the Pacific Rim Reverse Big Bang, based on this beautiful art by -lokeloke-.
Now just a few quick things to keep in mind. The timeline in this fic doesn't match the timeline in the film (which is hinky anyway). Also, certain events don't happen. Others do, but with different outcomes and different people involved. Things like this happen when you're writing an AU.
All the love EVER to azewewish for the fantastic beta work on this. My first draft was a far different (and inferior) creature. I think it went through 5 drafts before it became what you see here. And while I bitched about it pretty much incessantly (and had more than one anxiety attack because I loathe editing with a passion), I made 95% of the changes she wanted, listened to what she said, and tried to make it better. Hopefully you agree.
