Summary
A what if scenario where Rusty loses the race.
—
Everything was over. Rusty had lost, and he hadn’t a thing to show for his experience. Diesel beat steam, and it was as Poppa said, Steam can’t race. Rusty couldn’t even show his father there was hope before he died. Rusty couldn’t even bare to bring himself outside his shed. Only coming out when Control forced him to.
Now it’s that time of year again. Time for all of the engines to brag and argue. Except without Rusty racing this year, a spot is open in the race. Which leads to a certain Irish Train to take his place.

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.

Kasey Stevenson is just trying his best to figure out where in this world he fits. He just wants to work at his Momma's failing roller rink and make enough to survive, even if it's boring.

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.)
