Summary: The relationship of Stacker Pentecost and Herc Hansen told in moments. From their first meeting and throughout their lives. And because it was destined to happen, the series also tells the story of Raleigh Becket and Chuck Hansen finding what they never even looked for - especially not in each other
Note: The series is ongoing and I know myself well enough to tell you that the stories will be inserted here and there as they come to my mind (and that's usually not in chronological order - personal experience from other series I wrote XD). I have another 6 stories halfway written, so you can expect them soon ^_^
The entire Raleigh/Chuck part of the series (yes, there's more to come XD) was inspired by
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bachaboska's most awesome
Pacific Rim trailer(also with a twist XD), which she called 'Drift Compatible', hence the name of the series. Go watch the vid if you don't know it - if you like Raleigh/Chuck, you'll love it!
If you like any of the stories, I would be utterly delighted if you left me a note, no matter how tiny - they always make my day!
A/N: I'm still working on this series, so expect more to come. The fics can be read individually or together, each one is a little stand-alone that is part of an overall story arch.
