Summary
Simon knew better than to trust the intentions of the man who saved him. Everyone wanted something. Even Ryland Grace, who had a ship full of everything a man could need. The only thing the scientist lacked was human company.
Which meant that Grace wanted something only another person could give.

“The tree?” Ryland asked before he could think better of it. “Only one?”
“There was only one left after,” Simon answered. “We watched it slowly die.”
There's a new passenger on the Hail Mary, and Ryland doesn't know what to make of him.

Summary
Simon didn’t expect his savior to be exactly his type.
What a welcome sight. Even if this stupidly handsome man ends up being evil, or working for the C.O.I, at least he’d die looking at something good.
or
Grace and Rocky find Simon's ship floating in deep space on their way to Erid.
UPDATE: This fic has been peer reviewed by a NASA engineer who has approved of the science!

Four months after the fact, Robert Robertson receives a distress call about a villain with Red Ring implants currently wrecking havoc on the coastline.
It couldn't be, could it?

Summary
Thirteen seconds.
Thirteen seconds of anger. Thirteen seconds of hurt. Thirteen seconds of fire because Chad is fire. And fire is unpredictable, hard to contain, and it usually does not care about what it burns. Thirteen seconds later, the world has been altered and shifted off its axis forever. Because Robert was standing in the fire with him this time.
This has always been a story of redemption and second chances. Of breaking the curse of potential. But when somebody pulls a trigger, the bullet can’t go back in the gun. Right?
———
Flambae’s fire attack actually hits Robert after he reveals his identity, nearly killing him on the spot. Six months later, Robert will risk what’s left of him to offer him his last chance at redemption. If not him, who else would?

Summary
Invisigal accidentally outs Robert as Mechaman in what she thinks is a private conversation with Blonde Blazer, not realizing that Flambae is close enough to overhear her.
Struggling to control his horrible temper, Chad goes to the gym to blow off steam and think…where he finds Robert trapped under the weights.
*
Breathe. Count to ten. You’re not a villain anymore…you’re a good man, and you can do good things.
“Ask me to stop,” Chad breathed, the muscles of his arms quivering under the powerful desire to end Mechaman right there in the headquarters. He needed something else, someone else to step in, but they were completely alone. Even the janitors had gone home. “No, beg me to stop.”

Summary
Robert slumps into his chair, headset half-on, the SDN bullpen still humming with the last dregs of the night shift.
He sips into his mug... Blegh.
The coffee tastes like battery acid, but it really is the only thing keeping his eyes open.
Then the comm crackles.
“Hello, Robert.”
Phenomaman’s voice, flat as a gravestone.
“I would like to learn about intercourse from a human person.”
Robert chokes on his coffee. Why is this his life?

Summary
Robert is keeping two secrets from his team.
1. He actually enjoys their company (mostly).
2. He doesn't need the subtitles to understand the K-Drama they just forced him to watch.
A two-part story about a heritage erased, a team that misses the obvious, and the inevitable moment the truth comes out.
——————
A/N: This is based on the fact from one of the developers that Robert was originally intended to be half-Korean in early development, but the concept got scrapped because of similarities to Mark Grayson from Invincible. We were ROBBED.

Summary
A random villain-of-the-week makes Robert late for work. It's only by a few minutes, yet the encounter that hardly lasted a few seconds instills a sudden chill in Robert's bones. Its persistence is matched only by the Z-Team's stubbornness as they force their dispatcher to join them in activities they think will warm him up.
But none of it matters if Robert can't learn to believe he'll ever be warm again... or that he deserves the warmth this team brings him.

Summary
"Hap-p-p-py Ann-anniversary " He stuttered out, Alice had been working on his stutter with him for a length of their relationship and he'd been markedly improving, but in moments of high stress and anxiety, like right now, it'd turn it's ugly head.
"Wet wipe boy?" a voice that was clearly not Alice's spoke, actually, he knew that voice quite well, he raised his eyeline up toward the door, and his cheeks flushed. Chad, in full rave getup, A mesh top and orange cheek glitter, was standing in the doorway. The pyromaniac's face split into a sly grin. "Ohhhhh, Is someone getting an anniversary gift?" His eyebrows wiggled.

Summary
“Stop being a fucking idiot normie and work out properly.”
“I do. This,” He gestures vaguely at himself, “is entirely different.”
“How?” Flambae seems almost incredulous that Robert could possibly be hurt outside of his overconfidence in the gym.
“It’s always there, it just flares up every few days. I can manage it.”
Flambae puts his food down, the lightest trail of steam rising from it. “So, chronic.”
“Sure.” Robert deadpans. “Considering the shitshow that is my life, I wouldn’t put it past me.”
“And, what, you’re doing nothing about it?” Flambae presses with a glare, and Robert raises an eyebrow at his tone. Is that. . concern? Huh.
~~~
Robert's chronic pain is flaring up more often as the weather starts getting cooler. While juggling weeks mixed with dispatching and field work, now that he's Mecha Man again, it's proving to be pretty difficult to ignore.
However, a certain flaming asshole starts taking notice. His favors start to make Robert realize something and also force the two of them to confront the history that haunts them both before whatever this is starts to become an option.

Summary
Robert and Flambae have an interesting relationship. They aren't friends, aren't enemies (anymore) but not normal co-workers. They fight, they flirt, and there's trust between them but nothing beyond that. But then one night after their shift's end, Flambae invites Robert out to dinner with him and his niece. She's a fan of Mecha-Man so Robert accepts only for her, obviously. It isn't for Flambae, or HR would have his throat.
Or is it?
Maybe, just maybe, does a little girl bring them together.

Summary
The man was in a suit that almost reminded Robert of something from Cirque du Soleil, all skin-tight, shimmering fabric with bursts of red and orange and a V-neck that showed a lot more than neck. The wrap-around sunglasses didn’t even look that ridiculous.
Infuriatingly, he managed to be beautiful, like a Monet in an Ikea frame is beautiful. He had changed very little in the years since Robert first encountered him, at least physically. Robert couldn’t say the same.
