Summary
One day he looks up from the scaffolding and realizes that he’s almost exactly at Jaeger height and has to wrap his hand tight against the metal to keep from stepping out into the air. Not because he wants to kill himself or anything, just because for a split second his mind felt that old equilibrium and he just knew he should be able to, should be able to walk straight across the valley in front of him and out into the sea and on forever until he finds whatever’s next.

best pacific rim fic ever, strong contender for best fic ever. Creator's summary is trash tho, I clicked based on vibes I got from thin air and that paragraph does NO JUSTICE to the poetry and beauty of the story. here is my personal choice for what I want the summary to be in my page:
How does he describe coming back to the base after Leatherback? The morning after great, amazing, earth-shattering, life-ruining sex? Waking up the next morning and the other person is still there, still as naked as you are and smiling like they can’t remember how to be shy? Getting baptized? A bone realigned? A hundred bones? It’s like that, but it’s better, how he and Mako look at each other and just know. Know everything. Waves of pain and fear keep hitting them from all side and Pentecost is bleeding all over his collar, but underneath all that is a peace he’s never known before in his life, not for one second.
She’s his home now, from this moment until he dies.
However soon that is. It’s enough.

The bond between Jaeger pilots is more than personal, it’s a person, someone else’s whole self, their deepest fears and shames and desires. Drifting is trust, total and complete, letting someone else rifle through all the guts of you and not doubting that they’ll leave things the way they found them. Of course they don’t talk about it. Of course no one asks. The fate of mankind literally does depend on the ability of two people to trust each other absolutely. There’s a lot that pilots don’t talk about with non-pilots, which is a shame in a way, because it means there’s so little information to prepare the rookies for what they’re getting into. It’s why Mako has no context for the flashing neon smoke signals she sends careening through his brain whenever she’s even vaguely nearby. Speaking of.
He feels her somewhere at the back of the room and he tries to look for her without looking like he’s looking for her and gets so distracted by trying to seem nonchalant that he tries to eat with the wrong hand twice. He just wants to be able to touch her, just once - not even in a weird way, just shake her hand, brush her shoulder in the hallway, anything.
He is a fucking wreck, basically.
