Summary
Grandpa Bobbie and his daemon Alba, who died before Robert was born, settled as a bobcat. Not the biggest daemon, but big enough one’d have to start considering the size of spaces when it came to their daemon. Dad and his daemon Solas settled as doberman. To a young kid, this was setting a pattern of bigger and bigger forms as the Robertson legacy continued.
Robert and Valda rarely ever went small. They did cheetah, tiger, lion, crocodile. All sorts of breeds of huge dogs. Wolves. Predators and hunters, animals befitting a hero who would protect people and hunt down villains.

Summary
Robert Robertson the third is seventeen when his father dies from a bomb planted on the Mecha Man armor after confronting Shroud. Fortunately for Robert, Robbie had prepared for this eventuality and sends Chase after his son.
Now Chase just need to keep this fucker from getting himself killed. Fortunately he knows a company that could let Robert feel like he's helping people without being in the field. Unfortunately, that company assigns Robert to the most dysfunctional team they have.

Summary
When the front desk had triggered the lockdown and called to say Mecha Man was in the SDN lobby with the Astral Pulse in hand, turning himself in, this wasn’t exactly what she expected. Mecha Man was supposed to be menacing. He was supposed to be feared, intimidating, imposing, a force to be reckoned with both in and out of the suit. Someone you looked at and thought, damn. Now that’s a villain.
When Blazer got to the lobby, all she could think was, damn. That’s just a kid.
The same thought returned to her now, watching the shallow rise and fall of Robert’s chest as he slept in the too-big hospital bed. Around either wrist, thick restraints pinned his arms down to the metal frame of the cot. Under the blanket that was draped over his legs, she knew the same restraints were fixed at his ankles, too.
“Feels like overkill,” she muttered, shaking her head again. Chase huffed a laugh, hunching further in on himself.
“It’s not. Kid’s a scrappy motherfucker, always has been,” he said.

Summary
It’s been 4 years since the world lost the Mecha Man.
It’s also been 4 years since a 12-year-old boy named Robert Robertson went missing from his home without a trace.
With the loss of Mecha Man and no one to succeed him, it’s getting harder and harder to hold onto hope. That changes when Robert is found during a Red Ring base bust, and now he, Chase, and the Z-Team must learn to navigate their new normal.
But Shroud still runs free, and he doesn’t take kindly to anyone taking what’s his.

Summary
Months after Shroud's arrest, the defeat of the Red Ring, and welcoming Sonar back onto the team, Mecha Man falls out of the sky again.
But this time, Robert watches it happen from the ground.Or

Summary
But Elliot made a crucial mistake, he may have killed his dad, but he did not kill Mecha Man.
Because the Mecha Man Armor was sitting in his dad’s garage right now, absent of a pilot to put it to use. People may be mourning that Mecha Man is dead, but they are also expecting a new Mecha Man to appear.
And this mantle falls to him to pick up.
–
When Elliot Connors shot Robbie Robertson, Robert was only 11 years old. Instead of going to therapy or continuing schooling. Robert dedicates himself to becoming Mecha Man in his father’s absence. This leads to a 15 year old Robert being the Mecha Man that the SDN and Team Z will have the misfortune of dealing with.

Summary
Robert sets down the pregnancy test. He's aware that heats only end early due to drugs, or a knot producing a pregnancy.
For the next two weeks Robert was torn on what he should do.
Should he keep it?
Should he put it up for adoption?
Should he inform the father?
Well, Robert Robertson III couldn't bring himself to do either of those things and that's why he has a secret four-year-old son.
-
Robert has secrets that he keeps from the Z-Team, like he's Mecha Man, an Omega, and well, he has a son.... and one of them might be the father.

Summary
Robert Robertson the third wasn't real.
Sure, he looked real. Looked human.
He could speak and touch and do everything a regular normal person could. He wasn't extraordinary, no powers, no impressive physical prowess. He was the definition of an ordinary man.
Except that he was Mecha Man.
Oh, and he wasn't a man at all. He was The Astral Pulse, his father's greatest scientific achievement.
~~~
Or my own take on Astral Pulse Robert au.
A study in autonomy, personhood, humanity, and how having shitty narcissistic parents that see you as nothing but a tool can fuck someone up well into adulthood.
Well let's hope a band of stubborn misfit ex-villains can help with sorting out that last one.
Inspired by JUBE514's astral pulse Robert fic! It's very good so if you like this concept go read theirs!

“Hull breached.” The soft-spoken voice of his suit warns him. Blood is covering half the screen.
“No shit.” he grits out.__
Or, Robert loses more than the suit in the opening fight. Also some missing scenes and character moments that come with that -

Summary
Robert climbs out of the smoldering wreckage of his father’s legacy only to find that he's no longer needed. Mecha Man is, of course. But Robert Robertson? Ha. No.
So he tries to piece his life back together, however hopeless a cause it may be. But then it's time to announce his--hm, not retirement. Convalescence? Close enough--and it goes just a little too well. Chase never calls in the favor with Blazer so Robert never gets the job at SDN. Purposeless, he lets himself backslide. Forces himself to focus on the suit and only the suit because it's the only way he'll ever let himself live again (as if Mecha Man was much of a life beforehand).
Then a couple assholes bust down his door because the neighbors called for a wellness check and now Robert's plans of dying in a landslide of pizza boxes will have to be put on pause.
TLDR: Z-Team fixes Robert instead.

A loud bang shuts down Hal’s train of thoughts, his head swivels towards its direction, wondering if Batman had finally deigned to show up. But it wasn’t him. Instead, the person who shows up is decked out in red and blue; black lines stretch across his suit and meet at his chest to form a symbol of a… spider? Huh. Did Batman change themes?

Spider-Man & Batman are best friends. No, the Justice League doesn't know that. And if you ask Bruce, they never should.
Until they do. -

Summary
He turned around, frowning at the figure standing maybe four meters behind him. Peter had no idea how the hell he thought he was being subtle. If that was his goal, he sucked at stealth.
“Hey! Yeah, you, the guy in red. What do you want?” He called again, irritation threading through.
Red Hood didn’t answer. He just stood there, still, staring at him through the mask. Peter figured maybe he was deciding something.
Whatever it was, it wasn’t his problem.
His mouth opened, ready to tell him to piss off. But the words that came back weren’t his. They rolled out of the helmet in a deep, modulated voice:
“You’re smarter than I thought.”
Peter felt his stomach drop. Because—what the fuck?
Peter has made bad choices before, but Gotham is the one that bites back.
He wants to prove he belongs.
He has no idea how vulnerable he is. -

Summary
“Steve is dating someone,” Dustin mutters, as though saying it out loud might break him.
Eddie laughs mirthlessly. “Of course he is,” he says, aiming for casual and missing by a mile. “It’s Steve fucking Harrington.”
Dustin swallows nervously, and Eddie really wishes he would just spit it out. There’s no point trying to spare his heart; it broke a long time ago, and he’s not sure it can be fixed. “It’s… It’s a guy.”
Oh, he thinks. Would you look at that? There were still some pieces left to break after all.
-
Or: Steve and Eddie used to date, but broke up after Steve confessed to not being ready to tell their friends. Years later, Steve is dating a man and everyone knows, and isn't that unfair, Eddie thinks.

Summary
In an alternate reality where Lakan never studied abroad, he instead bought out Fengxian and married her. Maomao was born into nobility as the La Clans princess. Betrothed to the empire’s heir, Ka Zuigetsu (Jinshi), since she could walk. Though she’d much rather devote her time to her true passion, medicine, than to matters of courtship.
In this world, “Jinshi” was never swapped at birth. Ah-Duo remained with the emperor and rose to become the empress, while Ka Zuigetsu grew up as the rightful crown prince

Summary
Lakan has no earthly idea what possessed him to come to the garden party, but some star smiled upon him indeed. There is but one living face in the world for Lakan to see and, though she has grown greatly since last he saw her, there is no mistaking his daughter sitting behind the honored consort. It nearly breaks his heart just to see her: in formal garb she looks every inch her mother’s daughter, down to the cunning expression on her face. She looks into her bowl as her mother would look at a gaming table, seeing many moves into the future. So he is not surprised when she announces the meal is poisoned, for he was already out of his chair when she decided to drink it.
How would the story change if Lakan had attended the spring party and seen his daughter in the Rear Palace? How does his persistence change Maomao's view of herself, the world, and her place in it? A story in which Jinshi is not as subtle as he thinks he is, but that's okay because Maomao would rather drink poison than commit a single moment's self-reflection.
