With more and more Ao3 authors restricting their works to the archive (due to AI scraping), they're going to be losing guest interaction. And probably generally feeling down because. You know. AI is stealing their hard work.

So! Now is a great time to stop by your favorite authors/stories and drop them some comments! They really appreciate it!

hiii am i remembering right that either here or on your main at one point you posted snippets of pacrim au centered on aqua and terra?? i hadnt seen the movie till recently and now i cant find the post... thank youu :)

hello friend!! im glad you liked seeing the movie! absolutely one of my favorites, and obviously gives me the brainworms, haha. i've got it under the cut for you, plus with a little extra that wasn't in what i posted originally. <3

i do want to add more to my ongoing series on ao3 at some point, so this will be included!

for context: terra, aqua, and ven start out at a small shatterdome under eraqus, who's the marshall there. eraqus starts moving things so aqua will be set to take over as the new marshall in his place, and ven will pilot with terra in her place. but, since their shatterdome is so small, it can only house the one jaeger and its crew. if ven isn't on that crew, he has to leave. eraqus is trying to not panic the others, so he swore aqua to secrecy about it. also, their jaeger is called wayfinder, at least for now (i wanted to use the name of a keyblade like i have been for the other jaegers (way to dawn and destiny's embrace are the first two mentioned!) but it felt wrong when this was the jaeger for the wayfinder trio!)

She can feel Terra probing at her mind more aggressively than usual--almost hungry to meld their thoughts together. Aqua has to admit that she is desperate for the feeling of their connection. It’s been longer than usual since they Drifted last, since before she had to start learning the administrative duties being given to her and Terra began keeping his distance in his quiet anger with her secrets.

The thought of that secret--the words told to her in confidence, about Ven’s place in their Shatterdome, drift to the front of her mind in an instant. She lays it bare for Terra to see, a quiet apology for her silence in the past weeks.

She feels more than sees Terra’s head whip to find her. Aqua’s eyes open to find Terra hurriedly shifting forward, hitting mute on the connpod’s microphone, and staring at her.

“That’s why?” Terra asks, voice strained. His brown eyes are wide, shifting minutely as he studies Aqua’s face. “Because if you don’t, Ven will…”

Aqua takes a breath, hoping her eyes won��t well up the way she knows they so easily could. Without words, she tells him, I won’t lose either of you--and that is a promise.

Terra studies her for another long moment--through the Drift, Aqua knows how angry he’s been with her. How he hated that she refused to tell him what was going on. But he’s missed her, too, so dearly missed her, and has already forgiven her.

She wished the kaiju would just vanish, so she could throw herself into his arms and kiss him the way she’s wanted to in the weeks that he wouldn’t let her. She misses the feeling of his body against hers; the warmth of his larger, stockier frame holding her. Terra has missed her just as much, has missed her laugh, her hand held in his.

Later, they remind each other. They can make up for lost time later.

But I just read a pretty good fic published in 2014-2015 (you know, roughly TEN YEARS AGO) and I was like, damn this is so cool, I have to leave a comment, even if you know, they probably wont see it...

The author replied less than an hour later.

"how can m/f ships be good-" first of all through the power of bisexuality anything is possible so write that down. second of all if we start othering ships based on gender and nothing else we're no better than the opposition. third of all you need to watch more addams family
