ART quietly has a panic attack.

Mutual Rapport event fill! for the prompt:
"ART is always putting SecUnit back together, how about this time SecUnit needs to put ART back together? It's got to get into ART's walls or the floor or some kind of crawlspace and put it back together (think like an electrician or someone repairing your car type situation, lots of manual labour and wires of different colours)."- Language:

Summary
After months of separation, Damen is more than eager to reunite with Laurent. Unforeseen situations make their night together more emotional than either of them anticipated.
“I am aware of Patran costume.” Laurent reached up and kissed him again, his lips brushing against the beard. Damen could feel the shuddering of Laurent’s breath.
“And how does that feel?” Damen taunted, kissing along Laurent’s lower lip and chin.
The light frown was still on, but Laurent’s mouth parted slightly, pliant to the contact. “It does suit you.”Bookmarked by QuintessentialShip

Summary
As a state-of-the-art B-class wormhole-capable deep-space research vessel, I do not consider myself to have many serious design flaws. Every piece of me has been meticulously crafted, is regularly maintained and upgraded, and there is very little I cannot do if I set my several dozen exabytes of processing power upon the task. This is why the Pansystem University of Mihira and New Tideland’s extra-curricular oversight committee deemed me more than capable of operating unmanned on the occasional intelligence-gathering reconnaissance mission. It is for the sake of both necessity and convenience that these missions are camouflaged as cargo runs.
Nonetheless, it is an unmistakable oversight that I am capable of being bored. It is also incredibly annoying that unmanned cargo runs are so dull.

Summary
"Does it hurt you to think of him hurting your country?" he asked, and he told himself that he was pleased, that he wanted Damen hurt. That is eased his own pain if Damen, too, were forced to suffer.
"You know it does," Damianos answered. He paced like a caged animal, like one of Halvik's chained leopards, full of restrained violence, yet he came no closer. "Are we playing now with the fate of nations?" he demanded. "It won't bring your brother back."
With the Regent in Ios and his Akielon's identity revealed, the war for the throne of Vere is gaining heat. Laurent's plans for his alliance and his trust in his Akielon have both been shaken by his Uncle's machinations, but he is determined that he will continue the fight, no matter how much it hurts. This is an attempt to examine King's Rising from Laurent's POV.

Summary
Psychomanteum, noun. A dimly-lit room containing a comfortable chair and a mirror angled so that it reflects only darkness, intended to communicate with spirits of the dead.
It is our privilege to welcome you back, one and all, for the Summer 2024 season at the London Athenaeum. As some of you will no doubt be aware, this past winter saw a spate of minor thefts, with one enterprising thief successfully removing a marble bust of the goddess Carpundia. We are pleased to report that the probate court proceedings are now complete, and all of the stolen artifacts have been returned to us. For safety reasons, we must now ask that all rosaries, japa mala, ojuzu, komboskini, misbaha and other similar prayer beads are left at the door and collected upon exit on account of one of our new acquisitions, a devil vitrified in a prism of glass, and the multiple recent incidents of attempted strangulation.
We are proud to present a slate of all new exhibitions and events, including the crown jewel of this season: an exhibition on the 170 year history of the Athenaeum itself by acting head curator Edwin Payne. This is the distillation of an extraordinary life’s work, and one not to be missed.

He shuts his mouth when Edwin rests a hand on his knee. So warm, too warm for a ghost. “It's alright, Charles, if you still need time.”
He lowers himself down to his knees, kneeling comfortably, hand sliding slowly up Charles's thigh.
“But I hope you don't mind I indulge myself while I wait?”

Summary
Welcome to Earth in the year 2046: here be monsters. Thirty years ago, a fissure opened in the ocean floor and unleashed creatures from another dimension upon an unsuspecting planet. When the world is ending, only two things can save it: the power of love - and giant, kaiju-fighting robots.
Crystal Palace fled the Jaeger Program after the death of her partner and now scratches out a living hauling stolen parts for illegal mech cage-fights in exchange for cash and the odd ration card. She’s satisfied with the grubby anonymity of her new life, until a face from the past arrives to pull her back into a jaeger.
Niko Sasaki was never supposed to be a jaeger pilot. After the death of her family in a kaiju attack, her guardian moulded her for command: the Jaeger Program is her inheritance. However, in a dying world, plans change, and Niko finds herself preparing to step into battle with the girl whose heart she broke.
A Pacific Rim AU.
