when the revenant came down (the flashing at night, the sirens grow and grow) by sappho_e

Summary
Hitch seeks out the elusive Mothman after their first meeting in the SPIDR base, and extends a gesture of good will. He finds out something about himself in the process.
--
The Little Green Diner was the largest eating establishment that Little Mountain Side had to boast about, just down the street from the Daily Supplies shop that Mo Loveday had once worked at, and across the square from the little flat above the barbers’ that he had called home for ten years, and around the corner from the cafe that Hitch had idly stirred a mug of coffee when Bradley Baker, long-dead and long having forgotten everything about him, walked through the door. Hitch had tried not to think about it during his car journey, a losing battle fought every time he had to retrace the mountain roads that unspooled ten years earlier to the crash-site where Bradley Baker’s shooting-star plane had crashed in the frozen wilderness, and where Mo Loveday had walked out nearly unharmed, save for the massive head trauma.

really got this death thing down by TheBigCat

Summary
Five years ago, Ruby Redfort was the most feared practitioner of necromancy in the Twinford region. And then she died.
The good news: thanks to an unexpected mysterious resurrection; she’s now alive, re-equipped with her trusty magical death guitar, and ready for just about anything. The bad news: well, there’s a lot of bad news. She’s cursed, for one thing. And there’s the murder attempts on the head of Spectrum Eight’s life, and her undead maybe-possessed best friend, and - there’s just a lot going on, okay?
Cue sick guitar solo.

right back where we started from by sappho_e
Fandoms: Ruby Redfort Series - Lauren Child

Summary
For newly fourteen-year-old Ruby Redfort, life feels like a constant stream of Mondays.
No mention of the Count since January means that she has passed her birthday and a new semester at school in relative peace, able to finish her Spectrum Field Training without any major missions.Longing for some action, she finally comes across the Count again. Only... life starts to feel just as repetitive.
Suspiciously repetitive.
(Or: Twinford is stuck in a time-loop, and Ruby is the only one who can remember the day when it resets. The only way to stop the loop is to prevent an unavoidable death. Time to catch up on her To-Be-Read Pile you'd think, or maybe try out fire-breathing, except Ruby isn't the one to die. It's Clancy.)

Bookmark Notes:
Time loop in which clancy dies repeatedly, ruby rembers all of it, and gets thourogly tramatized.

Summary
The catacombs were near pitch black. Claudia had said that there used to be skylights and oil-lamps in the 2nd century, but these skylights had been shored up somehow and the only light came from super-long-life torches held in what had once been oil-lamp holders. These shone a sickly dim light that almost looked no different to having her eyes closed. This was great news in Ruby knowing where she was going: always towards the light at the end of the very dark, very uneven, very cold tunnel. This was terrible news in that Ruby was in the easiest to access area of the ‘combs and the grave-robbers could find her any moment.
--
Spectrum is approached by Harvard University to help translate a newly discovered fresco in Turkey. The only downside is that that fresco is some ten metres below any reasonable super spy's feet. However, when Ruby and Hitch find the catacombs, they realise not all is what it seems, and something much more dangerous is going on in the sprawling tombs. Alone in the dark, Ruby has to find her way out of the labyrinthe without ending up deader than the skeletons chilling alongside her.--Now with the most perfect art by Kitty a.k.a. @agentredfort on Tumblr!

Summary
Ruby Redfort, wunderkind thirteen-year-old, stood before the poised adults wearing a pink T-Shirt stating, ‘YOUNGER & WISER’ and a cracked pair of glasses perched on her nose.
Her arms up to her elbows were bright scarlet with drying blood.

Summary
Ruby looked up, aware that she probably looked like someone had tried to rock her to sleep by dragging her through a hedge backwards several times. Six hours of sleep over three days can do that to a person.
"Couldn't sleep," she muttered. In her tired state, she barely noticed Hitch's expression shift from one of surprise surprise and mild amusement to one of concern.
Ruby can't sleep, and Hitch steps in.

Summary
"I would know him in death, at the end of the world.” (Series Name from Madeline Miller's 'The Song of Achilles' because I am gay.)
AU where Zuko and Hitch have been married for eight years by the events of BAYD. Hitch's early Spectrum days, and events of BAYD and other RR books, mostly through Zuko’s outsider POV. An excuse to write Hitch being looked after and out for, for once in his life.
Zuko/Hitch is the main focus here, so lots of fluff and probably a lot of angst too whoops.Lots of the backstory is covered in the different stories and they’ll be posted in chronological order once the first part is finished! I’ll get a general history and timeline up on Tumblr at some point I promise!

Summary
It's a standard day in the Redfort/Crew/Finch household: Ruby is feigning domesticity, Clancy is just ruining all her attempts, and Elliot is completely oblivious to what Ruby might be doing in all of her spare time. An unexpected message has Ruby on her way to Spectrum; ie. nothing has changed, and life's not too bad.
A look at what I think the ideal living arrangements are for Ruby.

How Could I Ever Refuse? (I Feel Like I Win When I Lose) by KatyaMorrigan
Fandoms: Ruby Redfort Series - Lauren Child
29 Jul 2022
Tags
Summary
It's 1978. Ruby, Clancy, and the rest of their year have just graduated Twinford High. Ambassador Crew has thrown a graduation party at their house - there's few perks to being the Ambassador's only son, but this is definitely one of them - and Clancy is determined that it will be a night to remember.
But then Ruby randomly says she loves him. And that doesn't make sense - at least, not to him. Love is for people you love, right? Not your best friend of who knows how many years?
So Ruby and Clancy have a long conversation on the balcony about friendship, platonic love, and the people that matter the most. And decide that maybe it's time they move in together.Yet more excuses for me to explore how well these two work together, and the fact that nobody is going to complete Clancy Crew like Ruby Redfort ever - romance sure is great, but there's nobody else like her. Also an ABBA title because you can't write fics set in the 70s without them.

Summary
"I don’t know. I just don’t get why everyone seems to be so obsessed with boys or with girls, and why it means we can’t all just hang out like we used to."
Sixteen year old Ruby and Clancy don't quite fit up the tree on Amster Green anymore, but they still sit there to talk about anything and everything all the same. Ruby finds herself musing on everyone else's sudden apparent interest in the opposite sex, and the fact that her life doesn't seem to be heading in that direction. A house with Clancy would suit her far better than with any of the guys and girls of Twinford, anyway. Clancy may not entirely understand, but he's always there to lend a sympathetic ear and remind her that they're still young anyway. Adulthood is a long way off, and who cares what comes next when you have your friends with you right now?
Just an excuse for me to ramble about platonic connections and the aromantic disconnect from your peers via Ruby Redfort, because if there's anyone that gives me aroace vibes, it's our favourite teen secret agent.

Summary
It's spring of 1974 and Ruby Redfort wakes up alone in a hospital bed with no memory of the past year of her life. Her parents somehow have a new butler, who seems to be Clancy Crew's new best friend.
Ruby's pretty sure she's missing something important but she's even more certain that Clancy is trying to hide something from her.
Even worse, the butler is sure she hasn't been injured from falling out of a tree or some other darling childish mishap but that someone has purposely tried to put her in hospital.
But who would come after Ruby Redfort?- Language:
