Dr. Hermann Gottlieb (Ice Skating AU)

Sometimes, it got too hard to deal with Newton. Every time that Newton sliced into the flesh of the kaiju, scalpel sharper than the blade of Hermann’s old skates, it was hard not to flinch at the memory of a blade carving through his own flesh and bone, spilling his blood out onto the ice, all vibrant viscera, burning brighter than kaiju blue.

It got easier, over time, not to think about the blade cutting through Hermann’s knee, crippling him forever. To think of the blade as an extension of Newton rather than of himself. To think of scalpels and not the way that skates cut through the ice, sending him gliding across the frost and the snow and the skies-

Drifting with Newton feels like being on the ice again. Like finally understanding his body in a way he never did before. Like having the wind through his hair, his muscles burning, because he can feel every inch of Newton's memories, every spot where Newton's aches echo his own, every place that Newton is as sewn together and at odds with his own body as Hermann is, every moment that Newton had to push and fight to have a body that mirrored his own identity rather than that which was expected of him.

Like the way that Newton has been staring at Hermann for years, with Hermann as much Newton's North Star as Newton is his own, the way that Newton's fire has kept Hermann warm through the long, cold apocalypse but how Hermann has kept Newton chilled, kept him from burning himself to the ground, the way that both wind currents and temperature fronts are needed to maintain a proper climate.

Richard Siken, Saying Your Names || Dr. Newt Geiszler and Dr. Hermann Gottlieb, Pacific Rim (2013) and Pacific Rim: Uprising (2018)

Dr. Hermann Gottlieb-Geiszler and Dr. Newt Geiszler-Gottlieb (Post Uprising Fix-It: Chapter 4)

And god, does the sight of Newton Geiszler, fully himself, laughing at the joke of the cadet next to him- Amara, Hermann is rather certain, easily recognizable as one of the two kids that defended Newt in the cafeteria the other day- take Hermann’s breath away.

Hermann never went to a school dance. He never had a date, never had the urge to ask anyone else out on a date.

He and Newt are both middle-aged, now. They’ve been an anchor for each other’s lives for almost as much time as before they ever knew each other. There are gray hairs, laughter lines, wrinkles, the evidence of a life lived long and semi-well.

And yet, Hermann’s breath catches in his throat as he sees Newt across from him, looking as dashing as any prince in a movie.

And no, Newt’s not in a suit. This isn’t their wedding. That is long in the past.

But he’s himself. He’s more himself than he’s been in a decade, and he’s gorgeous, and Hermann’s heart feels like it’s going to explode if he has to handle this for too much longer.

reminiscing tonight on the official pacific rim: uprising iphone emoji sticker pack they released back in March 2018 prior to the movie’s release date that i paid actual real life money for so i could harass my loved ones by forcibly sticking my special little guys to any texts i received for several weeks. tragically the app has since been removed from the App Store (lost media….) so all that remains are the images i saved of newt and hermann

ERIKA ISHII???!!

when newt takes his coat off because he’s hot, hermann immediately starts looking really confused like:
