Summary
Where the loss of ignorance is more valuable than the knowledge gained, and Edward figures out the source of alchemy a lot sooner than before.
"Edward has cockroaches under his skin and leeches in his veins. He's vibrating and bursting and his body is too small, too big, doesn't fit quite right. He needs Al to know - needs to tell someone, anyone, but he will cut out his own tongue before he burdens anyone else with this knowledge."
(Now with a TV Tropes page!)

Summary
Jaskier knows that he's being hunted. He knows, eventually, he will be captured. He knows too much about Geralt-- about Witchers in general-- to get caught without proper preparation. So he sets out, looking for Witchers to entrust with the things he values most. The things he can't let Nilfgaard get their hands on.
It's in his nature to play tricks, to steal. And stealing from the White Flame is fun. Until his mind slowly decends into madness.

Summary
Trinity and Dennis have been roommates for three months, and she wouldn't say that they're friends.
Sure, they spend all of their time together. And yes, they watch The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives religiously every week and chat about it at work. And yeah, fine, she'll meal prep them both lunch while he fixes her sink, but they're not friends. And that's how it'll stay.
Until the day a patient comes into the ER and Dennis refuses to treat him. Not out of revulsion. Not because the guy’s an ass.
Because Dennis is terrified.
And fear has a funny way of cracking things open.

Richie Tozier is a chatterbox. The infamous Trashmouth, most relentless of babblers. Always has been.
Loud enough to wake the dead, is what his parents and friends always say, but Richie doesn't know how to tell them that the dead were never sleeping.
If they were, he'd have a hell of a lot more peace, that's for sure.
--
or: Richie's Voices have more of a basis in reality than anybody thinks. He'd say it's a secret he'll take to the grave, but even that wouldn't be the end of it for him.

Summary
Laying on the cold hard ground, his nostrils filled with the cloying smell of iron and hot pain pulsing through his head with every beat of his heart as he stares up at the woman floating above him, Robert's tempted to make a joke about the familiar sight.
Not that he will. At least for Blonde Blazer, this is the first time they've met.
Aka, a time-travel au.

Summary
“Sooo have you actually had gay sex?” Victor asks genuinely curious.
Robert tilts his head, an actual grin breaking through. “Have the news ever lied to you?”
Everyone stares at Robert. He just shrugs.
---------
Or the SDN makes the horrible executive decision to put Robert onstage as the Z-Team’s hero representative, fully aware that his PR experience consists of half a prayer and a legacy doing most of the heavy lifting. Robert takes the microphone and runs with it, feeding Los Angeles the most outrageous half-truths he can get away with.
The Z-Team slowly realizes their dispatcher is a public menace.
Unfortunately, they are completely whipped.

Summary
So people like me? The average Joe whose granddad wasn’t exposed to experimental radiation or fell into a toxic river, or was born under the star or Orias or something? We’re the soap bubbles. The thin paper people who still get torn, punctured, burned, and broken when not handled with care.
It sucks. But that’s also true of life. So it's not a huge deal.
It just means you have to be smart.
I'm Robert Robertson the Third, and I'm Mecha Man.

Summary
The Z-Team didn’t like Robert.
They were villains. They were fuck ups. They each had a giant chip on their shoulders that barely let them stand next to each other on a good day. As soon as his voice first came on the group call, they had to give him shit. If they didn’t start harassing him, the Blonde Boss Lady would have benched them thinking they were being mind controlled.
Every handler thought they could “handle” the Phoenix team. Tame them, make them palatable, water them down. Turn them good. So they didn’t like Robert.
But they did like his voice.

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."

My hands are not clean (they can still carry you home) by Arcturus_Ish
Fandoms: Dispatch (Video Game)
30 Nov 2025
Tags
Summary
The thing about plastic chairs is that they weren't a great substitute for an actual bed; the other thing is, Robert can't exactly afford to be picky and even if he 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 the internal debate is still ongoing as to whether or not he deserves a mattress at this current point in his life.
So, the plastic chair stays and is staying for the foreseeable future. Besides, it's charming - in a depressing, minimalism-that-is-totally-not-a-reflection-of-his-inner-sense-of-worth way.
Or:The fic where Robert has chronic pain and Flambae has warm hands. The two of them will figure out what to do about that eventually, right?

Summary
Eddie Munson was practically raised by the concept of harsh realities, and he’s learned not to want things that he’ll never have, which isn’t as much as a bummer as it could be, because making the most out of what you’ve got is just as good.
Steve Harrington, despite his reputation as a casual flirt and a serial dater, has a bad habit of falling hard and fast and never really recovering. Steve Harrington, despite his reputation as a bit oblivious, and a ladies man, figured some stuff out about himself four years ago and promptly squashed all those feelings into a box he never intended to see the light of day.
In which Will coming out forces Steve to be open about some things (because Steve’s issues will always take a backseat to making sure the kids feel safe). And Steve doesn’t mean for Eddie to find out, but he does, and it turns into a bonding experience. (And it’s the best and the worst, because having him as a friend is more than Steve ever could’ve hoped for, but it also feels a little like dying.)

Vicious Mockery (never won a fight) by BatBratsAndTheirCrossovers
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)
25 Nov 2024
Tags
Summary
Steve has never won a fight. He’s had his ass kicked left, right, and center. Hell, Johnathan has kicked his ass. Steve can bat a monster, but when it comes to people? Steve Harrington has never really won a fight.
But that’s because he’s getting put in the wrong kinds of fights. They think he’s a hammer, when really, anyone who grew up BFFs with Carol becomes a scalpel.
(Dustin gapes like a fish. “Holy shit, dude…” Steve would chide language if he thought it would do anything. “You just performed real life Vicious Mockery. I think that guy took psychic damage!”)
~~~
Or: someone thinks he’s tough shit and is messing with Steve’s kids. Cue the Boss Battle Music. Mama Steve rips the guy to shreds, as he should.

Summary
Kim Dokja’s time is moving again.
Seconds and minutes and hours and days.
Gone is the subway –the expanse of eternity that had surrounded him like a silent blanket for long, lonely millennia.
Gone is the Fourth Wall, leaving him to deal with his own emotions like everyone else, without unfair advantages.
Gone are most of his powers, except the flickers that remain when he sleeps too deep, when his consciousness slips a little too far, and he feels the weight of the universe push him down. This one thing, he keeps to himself.
Kim Dokja, once Demon King of Salvation, once Watcher of Light and Darkness, once Oldest Dream, is now simply Kim Dokja, 31 years old, unemployed. No more, no less.
The apocalypse has ended. The scenarios are gone.
What is left is him picking up the pieces of his life to try and make them fit back.Kim Dokja wakes up, heals, grieves, and loves.
