Summary
Ryland Grace saved the earth about 30 years ago; For him, it's only felt like 8. Time works differently in space, however the loneliness stays the same. Of course he loves the Eridians, though the strangling desire for human connection has only worsened as he’s grown older— and not aged. Erid's keeping its savior alive, and Ryland hates it.
It manifests into dreams, sick and cruel dreams of a man who could give Ryland everything he ever wanted. As long as the teacher didn’t mind the torment it came with.
So after eight years, he, Rocky, and Adrian embark on a trip light years away from Erid in the hopes of locating the Pavo Constellation, home to a star system full of iron, worship, and desperation. Perhaps they can revive Pavo’s dwindled stars? Locate the man who lingers just behind Grace’s eyes?
Something lurks beyond the cosmos, something that seems to be causing all of Ryland’s frenzied dreams. A man and a monster all the same, perhaps the exact one he promised to save.
.A twisted Bloodymary fic inspired by Sir Orfeo/Orpheus and Eurydice. (Playlist each chapter.)

Summary
Looking at the clock, Ashveil makes an educated guess that the moon is still laughing up high in the sky. Aha themself must be laughing at him right now, pathetically worked up over a comment that could’ve meant anything.
Just because Pearl found his appearance beautiful doesn't mean anything beyond her personal aesthetics.
Artists do that all the time, right?
In which, Pearl questions her ability to love, and Ashveil questions his right to be loved.
A direct sequel to "Muse in The Beholder's Eye"

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.

Summary
After Flambae and Invisigal pull a particularly cruel prank on their boss, Robert suddenly goes missing without a word.
Toxic, under orders from Shroud, seeks out Robert Robertson and takes him to a facility where he is tested on. Shroud is working on a serum, derived from Sonar's DNA, that is supposed to turn the affected into mindless beasts for him to control. But, when said serum is tested on Robert, he only gains an unquenchable hunger for blood and a seemingly unending amount of pain. Toxic is happy to toy with Robert, allowing him to suffer on his own and giving him no other choice but to come crawling back to him. But, when the Z-team is sent to search for their colleague, Flambae is shocked to find that something far more sinister has come over Robert than they initially believed.

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.

proverbs uttered by utter fools! (i'll do anything it takes!) by PhanShortcake

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.
