NOTES: This is pretty much my "Pacific Rim Universe: Let Me Show You All My Feels" story. It sort of started with 'what the Drift has wrought let no man tear asunder' and ended up not quite where I intended that fic to go. There was actually a third part to this which I didn't end up writing, but while I thought about making Mako's section even longer, I think some of the ideas from there will just end up in a separate story.

On the first day of the rest of their lives, Raleigh wakes with Mako’s back pressed up against his front, his face in her hair, her legs long against him. He’s doing the pressing, too – his hand over hers, into her stomach, keeping her flush against him.

travel: quiet day

So I didn't get myself together fast enough and today is going to be spent at home instead of going in to the city.

But tomorrow, the ferry, and probably a cycle across the bridge, as recommended by one of my friends! And then dinner with pandora768 and possibly some others?

I seem to have conquered the jetlag somewhat, although the sleep last night was not the best (because the pillow was too big and the cats kept coming in to check on me: "are you still alive?" *grunts* "okay. We'll come back in an hour...") I am not feeling too groggy. A little tired, perhaps, but nothing odd.

Today I will work out what I'm doing tomorrow, write Maria Hill-centric fic like a crazy thing, and hope that maybe I can get Part 1 of the epic story of DOOM done before the bigbang deadline of Wednesday? Perhaps?

I'm going to walk back over to the supermarket complex later, just for some exercise and sightseeing. :)
