Title: Gipsy Defender

Author: Sam4265

Canon: Pacific Rim Uprising

Pairing: Jake Pentecost/Nate Lambert

Rating: Teen [PG]

Word Count: 4,529

Summary: Jake knew everything about Nate, just like Nate knew everything about him. They’d been in each others heads during the entirety of their teenage years (and boy had that lead to some awkward discoveries), and just recently they’d refreshed their knowledge of each other. Though to be perfectly honest, there hadn’t been much time to focus on the memories brought out by the neural handshake, thanks, of course, to the imminent apocalyptic danger. Or the one where the boys have to go through another neural handshake, and this time there's a lot more angst involved.

Recommendation: Okay, so full disclosure . . . I didn't really like the plot to this one. The first movie was great but this one fell short of the mark, BUT that does not mean I did enjoy the heck out of Jake Pentecost because in this house we stan John Boyega. As to the story, well one would think that they would be better at communication as they are in each others heads, but no. Communicating is still hard.
