WHO Chris Halliwell (
aggrandize) / Cole Turner (
devilsinthedetails)
WHAT Pacific Rim AU. Chris is the neurotic, traumatized would-be Jaeger pilot and Cole used to be the neural handshake test dummy for newbies on account of having a rare mental disorder. Then Chris came along.
WHEN uh ider the dates in PacRim. Sometime. It happens sometime.
WHERE SHATTERDOOOOME
WHY Leo why did you leave your family, Leo why did you leave your oldest son to go crazy, LEO WHY DIDN'T YOU TAKE GUARDIANSHIP OF YOUR YOUNGEST
This was just a formality, really. Their neural handshake had already gone smooth as could be when they were found out to be a compatible pairing. Chris had to keep telling himself that, because the stories he'd heard of other recruits trying to make sense of Cole Turner's mind while it split apart around them only made him wonder more and more what kind of fluke of nature had caused his compatibility. Maybe it was because he was broken inside, too, but that was too depressing a thought and he shoved it away.
Suited up and entering the test room, Chris took a deep breath to steel himself. This time was for real, for keeps, minds introduced to each other and pressed until they opened up and shared what needed to be in order to clear the air. There wasn't any room for surprises in a Jaeger; the kaiju weren't going to give anyone a moment's rest, so they had to be ready.
He could do this. He would do this. There was no other choice.

Chris.
This was unfamiliar to Cole outside of Chris and he--they--moved closer to him, trying to get close enough so that he could pull him out of the memory and back to the present. He noticed everything around them, the death and blood and the world being upside down. The exact moment may be unfamiliar to him, but the general idea was one he was far too familiar with in his life.
"Chris!" "Chris." Two sides of Cole, one side gentle and the other side rougher, more panicked, called out to Chris to try and pull his attention away. "It's just a memory. You need to focus!" "This isn't real, Chris. You need to pull yourself out of this."
