Summary
One of the main characters - the only surviving witness to a murder - has just woken from a coma. Not only is she entirely cognizant, but the first thing that the subtitles say she asks for is a lawyer.
“What are you fucking giggling about?”
The other person that’s been paying attention is Flambae. He’s right next to Robert on the couch, his arm slung over the top behind his head. One foot is propped up on the other knee, also pointing towards Robert, which has him caged in the corner by the arm rest. It’s probably some fucked-up power move. Robert has been ignoring it just to spite him.
“It’s just not how comas work,” Robert shrugs.
“Right, and you know because you’re a fucking doctor,” Flambae quips back.
“I know because I was in one, asshole.”
------
During a quiet night in, Robert realizes that his coma and injuries aren't common knowledge among Z-Team.
Most of them take the information in stride with jokes aplenty.
Flambae does not.

Summary
Avid convinced himself to go back to town six times as he stumbled through the underbrush, tripping over rotten logs and smacking his face into needled branches. But each time he turned to go back (because being alone in these woods was stupid) he saw Sausage avert his eyes, Martyn shrug with an apologetic wince, and Drift stare at him silently.

Avid doesn't go back to Oakhurst.

Summary
Grian was living the absolute dream. An eight-to-five office job for a massive corporation, co-workers who made him want to tear his hair out half the time, a crummy apartment in the middle of Hermica’s capital city.... Anyone would be envious of him – how couldn’t he have an ego! But still, Grian could always count on his supervisor to humble him, just to let him know where he stands in society. Not to mention the highly advanced AI that the company had, called Xisu-MAVOID87, and which he had a sneaking suspicion was at least slightly sentient.
One day, Grian was tasked with handling a minor bug in said maybe-rogue AI’s system. Nothing too big, he was promised. And he had been told right. But had no one thought to warn him that Xisu-MAVOID87 learned how to talk on its own, or did he just witness an AI say its first words?

Summary
The Hermits are a rowdy and rambunctious type. Always messing with each other, pulling pranks to no end, starting wars, and breaking the server. Xisuma is their frankly overworked admin who tries (emphasis on tries) to keep the server together. The chaotic Hermits need someone who can keep calm throughout the most chaotic interactions and problems. And, just their luck, their admin happens to have those exact qualities—at least as far as they know.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Or 5 times Xisuma nearly snaps at his Hermits, and 1 time the Hermits finally realize their admin isn’t as calm and collected as they thought.Bookmarked by umbrellaking

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
Malevola has him pinned against her side, hanging onto him like she’s afraid he’s going to get swallowed by the drunken crowd. Sonar is on her other side, ears glowing faintly with the strobe lights as he knocks into her repeatedly.
Visi swings by, wipes the corner of his mouth, then disappears. Hot hands find his head a second- seconds? minutes? later. The flash of orange and black coming closer has him swaying dangerously to catch whatever Flambae starts to mutter against his ear. Something about shitty music?
Coop saunters past with a glint of metal, prying the empty tumbler from his hand. Punch Up appears with a full one to replace it. It makes his face flush when he takes a swig.
“Yo! Anyone seen Golem?” Prism pushes through. She’s got Waterboy by the wrist; She might be about to use him to purposely slip people and get them out of her way. Phenomaman is floating after them.
Visi comes back again, this time with Blazer holding on for dear life. They’re hugging like it’s the end of the world instead of just being drunk in a shitty bar. Blazer smiles, dimples showing. His vision swims.
The whiskey burns. So does the ache in his chest.

Summary
When playing with fire, know how to handle the aftermath.
Sonar tries to shoot his shot with Robert, but the consequences of his past catch up to him before he even knew.
Friends in higher places will always pull you up. Just learn to read to the end of the terms and conditions; you might find they'll find a way to use you too.
(Lowkey feeling like I'm homeless in Heathrow, idk tho.)
Summary Edit: After reading a bunch of works and expericing ep.7, my glorious king WOULD NEVER. Therefore, even thought Sonar gets kept on the team, I like this evil Elliot bitch pulling the strings to keep Robert and my boy Vic apart. This is all you shall know.

Summary
“There is nothing you can do for me, owl.” There was a soft click as Cypher turned the handle, speaking with his back turned. “You have already lost an eye, once. I won’t have you lose your wings as well.”
“Cypher,” Sova tried again, desperately. “I’ll do everything I can. I promise you, I’m not going to let you die anymore. I won’t give up on you.”
“You will soon,” was all Cypher said, and the door shut in his face with a final, resolute thud.
***
Cypher's dying on purpose, Sova figured out that much. When Brimstone partners them together in a newly instated program called the Duo System, Sova launches an investigation - one that uncovers more secrets about them both than he had ever bargained for.

Summary
When the bombs dropped that day, of course nobody was fully prepared. How can you be when the end times are upon you? All that most saw was the armies of the world unleashing their stores of Nucletized Radianite Bombs upon each other, and then that first flash of blinding light that heralded the end of the world.
Of course, Kingdom wasn't one to let their brightest minds go to waste. Not when there was still so much to do. So when Klara was forced into Castle 124, one of the two Castles that Kingdom had kept hidden for the sole purpose of containing their best and brightest from their branches, she knew one thing: since her employment, those rat bastards at Kingdom had lied. To everyone.Bookmarked by umbrellaking

Summary
Lambert is a Vessel.
A Vessel is meant to be used for entertainment for the gods. It's not like a vessel is a necessity.
They're just a convenience, random followers found getting sacrificed. The gods play the part of mercy, and take the follower in as a vessel.
It's torture, and before long, the vessel cracks and breaks under the influence of the crown, swallowed up by the very vice they worshipped and served.And Lambert is just another victim.
5 lives.
5 vessels.
until they are free, and wake as the shepherd of the dead.Series

Summary
Betrayed not once but twice, Narinder receives mercy from the Lamb following his defeat. He will bide his time for a chance at revenge, even if it takes another thousand years.
Lambert decides to take a page out of Narinder's book and become someone willing to wait. They will befriend the now-furious god they fell for, even if it takes a thousand years.
Too bad the Mystic Seller had to drop a boulder into still water. The Bishops get involved in their lives once more, and Narinder only gets more enraged as one by one they make their reappearance. And like some leech taking a ride for the fun of it, a disgusting illness sneaks its way into his mind.

Summary
To be fair, it was the Lamb’s fault.
..Maybe a little bit of Narinder’s, but it was mostly Lambert’s fault.
After a rather embarrassing accident on a crusade, Narinder opts to be resurrected instead of healed. Only, The Lamb's anxious mind haunted by past memories bumbled the ritual, and the cat comes back cursed: conscious, aware (not that The Lamb knows that) but with an insatiable hunger for flesh. Now, until Kallamar can return with crystals to cure him, Lambert must keep the cat alive, keep him from killing any of their flock and somehow keep him fed.
Unsurprisingly however, their husband already had a taste for mutton and is hardly taking any of this seriously.

Summary
“How do I know?” The kid spits, knife raised again, trembling violently. His eyes are wet, angry and pleading and piercing right down into Grian’s soul.
“...If I can fly?” Grian asks, confused. His heart is beating fast.
The boy shakes his head violently, taking a lurching step forward, now only a few feet away. Something about his eyes almost seems familiar, but the thought is fleeting. The knife looks sharp. The child is crying, slow tears that barely have an effect on his voice.
“No,” the kid says forcefully. “How do I know you’re not a zombie?”
OR,
A young Scar fresh from a world overtaken by zombies stumbles through The Rift onto Hermitcraft, and is quickly adopted by the rest of the Hermits, who have no idea who he actually is.
An older Scar grapples with a past that he'd rather forget, all while trying to avoid the version of himself he left behind a long time ago.- Language:

“I’ve missed something,” says Mumbo.
“Yeah, the memo, apparently,” Scar bursts, gesturing wildly. “The robot revolution forgot to draft you or what?”
“Revolution?!”
“An estimated 60% of humanity is dead,” Grian says bluntly. “And that’s the number from before the guy who did the estimating was killed.”
Grian didn’t know it was possible for a robot to look faint, but this one pulls it off.
-------------------
OR,
Grian and Scar have been surviving alone for years following the robot uprising, and have destroyed their fair share. They've never met one that doesn't want to kill them before.Series

A few oneshots set in the Ad Astra universe!! Taken from tumblr prompts :)
———————————————
“I’m sorry,” Grian says, softly guilty.
Scar shakes his head. “I’m sorry I left without telling you.”
“Yeah.” Grian sighs, shooting him a sad little smile. “We’re gonna have to work on this, aren’t we.”
“Add it to the list,” Scar says brightly.
And they laugh. Sometimes, Scar is surprised they still have that capability.
