Summary
“Tell me. Robert Robertson the Third. Mecha Man. Hero.” There’s something soft in the thing’s voice. Almost reverent. “What do you want?”
His body wants to shut down. His mind wishes for oblivion. The answer is obvious.
“Put me…back into…the fight.” He rasps.
“Very well,” he can hear it smiling, “let’s get to work.”
Or, in simpler terms…let’s do it all over again.

[ None of his predecessors had gotten into a suit that was too big for a grieving teenager, one who had willingly offered himself up to an altar, destined to bleed out in the hopes of keeping a legacy alive.] feral about this quote. Excellent fic.

Summary
The pings were all from Overse’s interface and routed from a transit ring called Trans-All, the kind of ping that was just are you in range – are you in range – are you in range. It was a call for help and it fucking terrified me, because I was answering it way, way too late.

Summary
Chase leans towards the baby and squints at her like she's a criminal sitting across an interrogation table. Robert knows he named his daughter right when she matches his expression one-for-one. “At least tell me you didn't follow the stupid family tradition. We're running out of nicknames for Robert that ain’t Bob.”
A weight lifts off of Robert's chest. Some unseen, fractured pattern comes to completion, and the joy of it is pure and simple. “Chase,” he says, not knowing whether to sob or laugh, “she's named after you.”
It didn't quite dawn on him yet, clearly. Chase snorts and scratches Beef's ears. “Yeah, right. First name Track, last name Star?”
Robert hoists the baby up to the full twenty-eight inches of limb and menace. “Chase, meet Chase.”

Aliens vs. Murderbot by Veldeia
Fandoms: The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells, Alien Series
13 Dec 2025
Tags
Summary
It sounds like the beginning of a horror story: I restarted to find myself tied down to a bed on a ship full of dead humans and killer fauna. Still, even though it was an absolute nightmare, it's also the story of how I met my favorite people in the whole universe.
A very AU take on All Systems Red, fusing it together with the Alien media franchise. Also a fill for the "Chained to a Bed" prompt on my BTHB bingo card.

Summary
“It’s not a real kid, Chase.”
Chase is technically underage, he’s a year away from being able to drink but the bartender didn’t bother to check his ID. Chase has always looked a little older than he was, it works in his favor now.
Nobody at a hero bar like this would assume he was so young.
“How the fuck do you think that?” Chase asks, spits. His hands still shake with the memory of it. The beer in his hand shakes with the tremors of his hands. “How the fuck do you do it?”
Mechaman sighs, deep, disappointed. He leans back, taking his whiskey with him.
The rest of the Brave Brigade was downstairs, drinking in victory, dancing with the other heroes, celebrating.
“It’s the Astral Pulse.”

Supernatural creatures keep trying to lure away Robert because he’s like catnip to them, which is funny until it’s not. What does Malevola have to do to keep others from snatching away their dispatcher?
Or,
Kinda 5 times someone tried to steal Robert, and one time they used that to their advantage (and then still had to prevent someone from taking him home)Bookmarked by Shadowkat2000

Summary
Two children, Robert and Janelle, wake up in an alleyway with little idea how they got there. They decide to band together for the sake of their survival. The Z-team eventually find the two, and now they've got to deal with the younger versions of their teammate and dispatcher after they've been struck by a de-aging superpower. But maybe it's a good thing because now these two child soldiers get to experience the childhood they never had.

Summary
Malevola honestly expected this to be a prank, or kids fucking around, or fucking Red Ring. Nothing that should warrant both of them taking their time out of a Saturday night trespassing condemned buildings and generally violating the terms of Victor's parole.
What she doesn't expect is an honest bonafide ghost. The ghost of a guy maybe around her age, with a black mask over his head and a lightly armored supersuit-- the back completely scorched away, and Mecha Man's fucking symbol on his chest.
Or
Z-Team gets rallied around Robert in a much different way, because someone has already killed Mecha Man Blue.
And someone else is trying to cover it up.Bookmarked by Shadowkat2000

Summary
This is how Parker knows she’s in love: because any other time she’s ever wanted something, she’s just taken it, but she doesn’t want to take Hardison, hoard him for herself when she doesn’t know how to love him right. She wants him to be happy. She wants to be what he deserves but if she can’t be, since she can’t be, she’ll… she’ll have to make sure he’s happy anyway.
***
Parker doesn’t know how to be in love with Hardison. She tries to get Eliot to do it for her.

Villain, well former villain, Robert and Chase. Chase helps found the Phoenix program. Excellently alters the past to create the characters we know but understandably changed. Robbie still sucks but in worse ways now tbh!

Phenomenal series examining daemons in The Witcher, Witchers lose their daemons and are further marked as other! The way daemons and having (or lacking) one impacts interactions and the stigma around Witchers is excellent and I shall be rereading this series.

Summary
The woman laughs, her eyes crinkling behind her silver cat-eye glasses. "You must be Eliot,” she says, cheerfully. “He warned me you were charming. Where is he?”
Eliot’s stomach drops as he realizes that this is a terrible fucking mistake, because this ain’t a random elderly woman showing up to collect cans or take up donations or whatever it is that elderly woman in weird fucking places like Portland do. This is Hardison’s nana, and Eliot has just opened the door to the apartment—to Hardison and Parker’s apartment—like he lives there.

Summary
When Eliot Spencer learned for the first time that he couldn’t be in two places at once, he swore to himself that he would never split his promise again. It would have stayed that way, but then something happened that Eliot had thought was impossible: he fell in love again.
When Parker and Hardison's lives are both on the line, Eliot can only protect one of them. How does he make an impossible choice? (He doesn't. Somebody makes it for him.)
