Kinda due to this conversation, I went to Ao3 to check the Pac Rim tags, and holy fucking balls, I knew Geiszler/Gottleib was the juggernaut pairing, but I didn't realize just HOW MUCH SO.
I mean, holy fuck. When I checked the ships tags, it was the #1 tag with over 3K fics. The #2 pairing had something like 800. (And it was Raleigh/Chuck Hansen??? WHAT IS YOUR OBSESSION WITH OBNOXIOUS WHITE BOYS GUYS? Chuck is awful! The trans guy Chuck headcanon I saw made me actively angry! Why would I want a guy like THAT as my representation, seriously?! Couldn't y'all have chosen a... a NOT awful guy?)
