    Summary

    "What if I help you?" Grace blurts out desperately, sweating even in the coolness of his house as his words finally manage to stop Adrian from storming out.

    "What?" Adrian says after a tense moment.

    "I can prove it to everyone," Grace says, his heart in his throat. "I'll - I'll make you and Rocky the most celebrated couple on Erid. I promise."

    "Stupid human," Adrian hisses. "You would give up your chance for him just like that?"

    "Yes," Grace says hoarsely.

    "Anything for him."

    ***

    Adrian does not like Grace.

    Which sucks, really, since Grace loves Adrian's husband and all.

    Summary

    Sokka is never getting out of this backwards, nowhere town.

    The one thing he has to look forward to are his secret meetings with Zuko, the ones he has kept entirely a secret from everyone (well, except for Katara.) Other than that, life is boring, plain, simple.

    That is, until Zuko shows up on Sokka's doorstep, beaten and bloody, with nowhere else to go.

     

    Modern AU where Zuko is the son of the local southern Baptist pastor, and gets caught being romantically involved with Sokka

    Summary

    After years of being neglected, ignored, having all of dad’s failures projected onto him, Robert Robertson the Third took control back in the only way he knew how.

    Burning the whole damn thing to the ground.

    Now a villain, life is actually pretty chill. He’s got a cute dog, a sturdy warehouse, and oh right, a firebrand hero he is completely, utterly, pathetically, maddeningly obsessed with. A hero who plays the moral high ground but always somehow ends up on his knees, at Robert’s mercy.

    Damn, life is good.

    Summary

    “Stay safe,” he says, pressing a kiss to Waterboy’s cheek.

    “See you after the shift,” he says to Robert. He then tilts the man’s face up and gently kisses his temple. Waterboy waves goodbye to him as he leaves. Robert stays frozen for a few seconds.

    It was a tame kiss, much tamer than Flambae’s normal kisses. But that’s the thing that gets Robert. It was gentle, domestic, even. It was such a small action, but there was actual love behind it.

    The kiss throws Robert off for the rest of the shift. Punch-Up makes a point of calling him extra quiet, and Prism asks if he’s ok three separate times.

    -------------

    Robert struggles with feeling unloved.

    Summary

    It made sense that Robert associated touch with something bad and given the way he made comments about his father being the ‘tough love’ type, Flambae was starting to doubt that much of the touch Robert received had ever been positive. How many times had someone laid their hands on Robert and didn’t mean him harm?

    Or,

    Robert is scared of being touched. Flambae tries to make it a little less scary.

    Or, 'What to Do When Your Boss Doesn't Suck Nearly as Much as He Could'

    With Shroud dead and Robert's contract with the SDN expiring in a few months, there's nothing keeping him working with the Z-Team. And given the nature of some of their prior Dispatchers, Sonar decides that's unacceptable, and takes it upon himself to use his not-inconsiderable charms to convince Robert to stay.

    Depending on how you define it, this plan meets with an unanticipated level of success.

    Summary

    Robert is trying to take his health seriously now that other people rely on him. Unfortunately, it seems his years of getting his ass kicked have caught up with him.

    Just a little fluff of Victor being an extremely supportive and loving partner and Robert belligerently accepting the affection he deserves.

    Summary

    “There’s a leader—rank—board for d-dispatchers?” Waterboy blurts. Robert's lips tip upwards, an amused little smile.

    “Of course there is,” he drawls. “What, did you think you guys were special? Corporate likes to look at numbers going up and down."

    “What are you guys even judged on?” Prism asks. Robert raises a hand, counting on his fingers as he speaks.

    “Team synergy, mission success rate, call completion efficiency, subscriber satisfaction…” his smile widens wryly. “Collateral damage.”

    “Where are you in the rankings?” Unable to contain his curiosity, Sonar cuts back in. Robert levels him with a blank stare.

    “You spent an hour mid-shift last Tuesday ‘powdering your nose’,” he deadpans. “Where do you think I am?”

    The Z-Team finds out about Robert's continued lack of furniture, the upsetting state of his wallet, and the dispatching team's leaderboard. They hatch a plan. Robert suffers a normal amount.

    Summary

    "Just one hint," Malevola pleaded. Prism leaned against her chair, eyeing Robert expectantly.

    Robert stared at them briefly, deliberating over his response. He settled on honesty. They wouldn't believe him, and they wouldn't be able to link it to his identity as Mecha Man anyway.

    "Sure. I can't die."

    Prism sighed in frustration. "Oh come on! Don't be like that."
