Summary
After a long absence from the train yard, Espresso finally returns - still shaken by the disappearance of his partner, Bobo, and struggling to find his place again. Voltar, caught between Electra’s constant mood swings and his undefined relationship with Killerwatt, knows what it feels like to be unsteady. As the two begin to train and race together, a slow and unexpected bond forms - rooted in shared struggles, quiet understanding, and the chance for something deeper. But with Bobo’s shadow still lingering, and the past threatening to resurface, nothing seems to be certain.

Summary
Hydra has a proposal, and Rusty isn't sure if he can trust it.
(Evil Hydra au, because Hydra's staged to make the audience anticipate a twist villain and I yearn for what we could've had.)

I have tagged all the characters and relationships as best I can up to Chapter 194, please scan through and see if there is something you want as I have tried my best to organise it in an easy to read and navigate way.
Anthropomorphising/humanisation of characters (especially physically) will vary
(Apologies in advance for my limited knowledge on the history of this very complex production, please do give notes in the comments! I will do as much as I can to understand the characters but forgive me since I have only seen the 2024 London production, so am working with mostly vibes an research, so please please please give me notes in the comments about what is right and wrong for the characters - be brutal if a character seems off)

CB was soon forgotten about. -

can you believe him, he’s crazy. by starboy6969
Fandoms: Starlight Express - Phillips/Stilgoe/Webber
29 May 2025
Tags
Summary
“Crazy.. can you believe him? He’s crazy..”
That was the first time Rusty had really started to hear things. After that race, after Slick betrayed him, after he thought he’d lost sight of every dream he’s ever had.
Or: Rusty sees something that doesn’t look right and does NOT speak to staff OR text the British Transport Police on 61016. They can’t sort it. See it, say it, sorted.

Next Time You Fall In Love by SummerNightStars

Summary
We all know how Make Up My Heart ends, with Pearl choosing Electra as her partner. But what might’ve happened if she chose Rusty instead?
The answer: Things literally and figuratively go downhill for everyone.
Both Rusty and Pearl are wrongly accused of causing a serious crash in the final. Rusty is banished from the yard, and Pearl is shut away in “The Box”, where she meets two older Coaches who tell her to clear Rusty’s name.
Pearl takes up a false identity, re-enters the yard, and sets about trying to find what (or who) really caused the crash. But the deeper she dives, the weirder the truth gets…
(Rated Mature because of violence, injury detail, language, heated conversations, and a temporary character death. Not suitable for under 16s.)
(Set in the Post-2018 Bochum Production, with some Pre-2018 elements thrown in.)

Summary
At the end of every lazy day, when the light sank low and the stars peeked out from behind their curtain, the train yard came to life. That night, like every night, as dusk set upon the yard and trains from all places shook the rust off their bolts, each and every one of them turned their attention to the station. Even Greaseball.

Summary

The coach remained still for a second or two, in sheer disbelief. Watching the others disappear, she decided that she'd had enough.
"Pearl's going the-... Pearl! Where's she going?! We've got a runaway coach!"

The final race consists only of Greaseball and Electra. Where was Rusty? Well, wallowing. Meanwhile, after Greaseball disconnects her, Pearl decides that she's had enough, and abruptly drops out of the race.
