september recs, day eleven: pacific rim

I loved this movie. I LOVED THIS MOVIE. Explosions! Giant robots! Idris Elba! Raleigh falling all over himself at how awesome Mako is! What is not to love, seriously. (Actually I hated the dudebro scientist, so, that. And obviously Chuck, but we were supposed to hate him, it barely counts. OTHERWISE.) SO GREAT. Have some fic!

One way Sasha and Aleksis meet: in the Jaeger program, and with a healthy dose of hostility. I LOVE THE RUSSIANS. Fandom has been so great about writing them backstory.

Another way Sasha and Aleksis meet: in Moscow, before the kaiju attacks. Sasha is a boxer! Aleksis is a farmer's cuckoo child who wants to be an engineer! And they fall in love and it's beautiful and perfect yes more of this please.

Girls Night, by snack_size [Sasha and Mako]
Sasha teaches Mako about the pleasures of female rituals. I WILL READ A MILLION FICS ABOUT FEMALE FRIENDSHIP AND THIS IS SO GREAT.

The cartoon where nobody dies, they're just lost somewhere out to sea. COMRADE SQUID >>>> EVERYTHING.

Reconstruction Site, by disco_vendetta [Mako/Raleigh]
I read this before I even saw the movie, said "yes, perfect, OTP" and have yet to find anything that supplants its place in my heart. You guys, Raleigh loves Mako soooooooooo muuuuuuuuuuuuch.

I have a huge soft spot for Team Hot Dads but I haven't found any really good fic for them yet! If you've got suggestions, please let me know. ;)
