People who pilot those big fuck-off Godzilla fighting Mechs have a tenuous and weird relationship with their humanity and independence + supernatural twins tropes + my brains complete inability to shut the fuck up about hoyoverse games = a brand new fucked up au for me to chew on

#cryptid screaming #i saw pacific rim 1 time and have loved the idea of drift compatibility ever since #so like. Aether and Lumine were essentially jeager pilots in some honkai bubble world and it made them SUPER codependent #they are fighting the honkai IN SPACE!!!! when they set off their nuke power supply to take out the honkai #and they get launched in escape pods and get knocked wildy off course by the explosion #the pods are programmed to stay together first and foremost so the crashed on teyvat together #aethers pod opens up first and he ends up befriending and spending time with the khaenri'ans while waiting for lumines pod to open #then the khaenri'ah disaster happens #lumine and aether aren't used to fighting outside their jeager‚ and lumine is essentially recovering from a coma so they try to run #sustainer of heavenly principles stops them and essentially shoves lumine into a nightmare realm and chucks aether back down to teyvat #story plays out mostly the same‚ with lumine as the traveler #the main difference is that shes really weird about Scaramouches god mech #''damn they actually fully wired you into it‚ like physically''#''where I'm from that hasn't been legal in years''
