Din/Luke Pacific Rim AU

Pt.2 | Pt.3 | Pt.4

This idea has been brewing in my mind for a while now. There have been some discussions in the dinluke server that boosted those ideas even more. I've been wanting to post all the art I've done for a while but I've been nervous and also wanted to get an idea for a fic.

I am absolutely obsessed with Pacific Rim and dinluke, so this seemed like a logical combination. So if anyone wants to listen to my rants about this stuff I could literally ramble for hours.

This is also inspired by a screencap from Pacific Rim, so if anyone knows it I love you. I have so much more art to post so I'll be occasionally posting with extra info about this AU.

Luke has been a pilot since he was a teen, along with Leia. Din used too be a pilot with Paz but after Paz was killed during a Kaiju attack Din suddenly left the Jager program. This scene is Luke showing Din around the Hong Kong Shatterdome and the newly restored 'Razor Crest' the last MKIII Jaeger intact.

dinluke d&d romance where din and luke are both pretty popular players from two different online shows - dins group a bit more classic d&d and luke’s table plays a more relaxed, experimental game- but they end up collaborating together as a players in a mini charity campaign and from the moment they meet luke is just smitten with din’s quiet charm and encyclopedic knowledge of the game that makes him the more chaotic player in the room and he’s so immediately attracted to him that luke makes it his mission to make din’s character fall in love with his - only to remember he made a joke character that was voted on by fans- so instead of trying to romance din’s stalwart half-elf paladin as a fire genasi bard named Burnz Stuph, luke just really earnestly tries to make them best friends while also letting the story-telling happen naturally, following the dice and having things play out as they may and whatnot- and he gets so caught up in just playing the game he loves that it takes him by complete surprise when at the end of their little campaign din’s characters asks his out that luke ends up falling off his chair (yes, it becomes a meme)- cause it turns out that while he was so engrossed in the game he failed to notice that he was, indeed, successfully romancing both din and his pc and that both of their collective fandoms have been freaking out over their chemistry and the pc romance and luke. hadn’t. noticed. anyways, at the wrap party afterwards din asks luke out for real and they become one of those beloved d&d couples who play in campaigns together every now and then and one day in the future they hold another charity event where they bring back their characters from that first one they ever played together and din surprises luke by proposing and they break the nerd internet for a bit

The best part about Luke Skywalker in my opinion, like the best part of his character, is that he's a good person first and foremost. Like the dude just wants to help and make things better for everyone.

And what I appreciate even more in star wars is that Luke wins exactly because of this. It isn't cuz he is destined to be a super powerful Jedi, it isn't cuz he's a great warrior. He doesn't win via a display of power, he won cuz he was being nice to Vader, and being nice to Vader is what brings Anakin back, it inspires Anakin to do the right thing to save Luke. Dude saves the galaxy because he's a nice guy. That's literally it.

Luke saves the galaxy because he was raised as a good person. The Jedi stuff was just bonus. Sure he's powerful and super force but at the base, what he remains is just a wholesome kid who wants everyone to smile. And that is precisely why he's one of my favourite heroes in all of fiction.

Can’t wait to finally participate in one of these! :D

This woman was arrested for WORDS.

We should rally for her as much as the guy who actually shot someone. Push back.
