This has been in my queue for months.

I missed it last year and I vowed that would NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN.

[ID two screenshots from Miss Congeniality. They show a blonde woman at a beauty pageant being asked the question ‘describe your perfect date’ to which she responds ‘that’s a tough one. I’d have to say April 25th. Because it’s not too hot and not too cold. All you need is a light jacket.’ End ID]

Ohh I love Pacific Rim AUs! Just, like, considering: Jayce starts out as a jaeger pilot, co-piloting with his dad, but they get wrecked by a kaiju off the coast of Freijord and his dad dies. So they try to re-match Jayce with a bunch of other people. He's friendly and charismatic, it should be easy to find someone else drift compatible, right? No. Fail after fail after fail. They don't wash him out of the program because he was a great pilot and ffs they will find someone else drift compatible for him eventually and in the meantime he gets transferred to the Zaun Shatterdome for more failed compatibility tests (they are scraping the bottom of the barrel at this point, although Vi ends up the closest Jayce has gotten yet) and he kind of wanders over to the science labs because Jayce always loved science and he's heard rumors about the mysterious and brilliant head scientist Viktor. Meet-cute: Jayce is staring at a giant kaiju eyeball suspended in formaldehyde and he looks up and there is the most beautiful man he's ever seen who wants to know wtf he is doing in his lab. So Jayce and Viktor become science partners and build the newest, best jaeger and Jayce knows, he just knows in his bones, that they're drift compatible and they should be the ones to pilot it, but he doesn't say anything until there's an attack and the only Zaun pilot team--Vander and Silco--get wrecked and a kaiju is like twenty minutes away from destroying the city. Jayce and Viktor get in the new jaeger and yes, drift compatible, perfect, and they go kick the kaiju's ass. And then they kiss, yay. (They eventually get transferred to the Piltover Shatterdome because politics and Ekko and Jinx take over at the Zaun Shatterdome with their scrappy, painted jaeger.)
