    Summary

    6 years after the first Kaiju attack on Earth, the Pan Pacific Defense Corps, known to most simply as the Jaeger program, is in a golden age. A group of Jaeger pilots heralded by the media as the Generation of Miracles seem to be turning the tide of the war. Then out of the blue, their most successful Jaeger, Cobalt Ace, goes down in a freak accident. Kagami Taiga, an American PPDC trainee, is transferred to the Tokyo Shatterdome.

    As it turns out, getting into the program was the easy part. Now Kagami has to reckon with the Drift. Aomine Daiki is not at all who he seemed to be. Given the mysterious disappearance of his former co-pilot, the red tape surrounding the incident itself – it’s clear that whatever went wrong on his last run poses a serious risk.

    Meanwhile, a stranger haunts the shatterdome, confined to the shadows. Kagami’s future, and maybe even the fate of the world rests on the program's success. They say there are no secrets in the drift, yet the ones surrounding the pilots of Cobalt Ace threaten to overturn Kagami’s entire reality.

    Will Kagami realize his lifelong dream of piloting a Jaeger and lead the world into the light beyond the encroaching darkness? With whom?

    Summary

    The streetlights cast long shadows across Aomine's sharp features, his usual lazy expression nowhere to be found. His grip tightened slightly, the warmth of his palm pressing against Kuroko’s cool skin.

    “What the hell are you doing up here?” Aomine’s voice was low and steady, but beneath it was something else. Something unsettled that Kuroko was unable to figure out.

    Kuroko blinked, expression unreadable. “Taking pictures.”

    Aomine exhaled sharply through his nose, jaw clenching. His fingers curled slightly around Kuroko’s wrist.

    “Get down.”

     

    Or; As a photography college student barely making rent with a part-time job as a photographer for a small sports magazine, Kuroko has found a way to stay connected to the sport he loves on his own terms. But his past—one he tried to bury long ago—has found a way of catching up with him.

    Summary

    Takasugi watches over Gintoki, every ragged breath tightening the grip around his chest. The war, the responsibilities, the world itself fades—nothing matters except the man on the cot. Katsura joins him, silent but knowing, and Takasugi realizes too late how much time he’s wasted not looking at Gintoki.

    Summary

    The dead shouldn’t come back to life, not as different damn people, don’t they understand how much it hurts?

    Summary

    He is you, and you, he.

    He has your eyes (yours, jaded emerald, and his, wine red) and your hands (the same bloody ones) and your skin (and your heart).
