butterflydreaming: The Japanese character for "dreams" written on a mug (Dreams)
Well, time to see if the fandom is receptive to kaiju-centric, poetic fic.

Title: Bee Dance
Link: On Archive of Our Own. There is a typo (missing/extra word that I have to find again)
Fandom: Pacific Rim
Length: 3200+ words
Summary: The kaiju were not "great beasts" following a hunting-and-gathering instinct. They were an invading army following orders. Armies are made of soldiers.

Otachi was going in to battle, she had an unborn child growing inside her, and she still had a connection to a foreign mind somewhere in the new world.

Here's a sample )

I think this fic should be pretty accessible without having seen the movie, but it is one great big spoiler. If you don't care and you want to read it, let me know if you can follow without the movie context. This is primarily the POV of one of the movie's monster antagonists.

Also, here is a 20 minute .wav file of me reading it aloud. Since I read aloud at final draft, I may as well record it! But if I'm going to keep sharing the recordings, I need to figure out a process.
