Three's Not a Crowd by BombaDefender

Summary
Pearl had become aware that Rusty had feelings for Hydra. For some trains, this would cause a major relationships problems, but not for them. Or at least, it's not entirely a problem. It's just that none of the three of them really know how to make it work.
Best to ask some experts.

For one, he hadn't expected there to be two of them. -

CB wasn't expecting anyone to care that he'd gotten injured at all during the race, much less been crashed. But then Rusty slid to his side.
He doesn't expect any of what happens, really.

Summary
Sometimes stars align in weird ways and paths cross that never would have before.
Blue, a freight engine-restored-and-turned-passenger engine, isn't one for the national spotlight. Sure, he's pretty well known in the region his line runs through, but that's home to him nowadays. He and his yardmates are plenty happy running their excursion line and showing tourists the historic branch lines. So he's understandably shocked when it comes out that the newest railroad racing champion wants to stop by his little, middle of nowhere excursion line.
What could the champion want with an old steam engine on a historic line? Blue can only wonder.

Morning Oberservations by Blueberryattack

Summary
The heat map in his mind spread halfway across the yard, just enough to reach the station and its main platform. In their search for a large enough space for their elaborate shed, Electra had set them apart from the rest of the yard, whose quarters tended to be on the far side of the station. Useful in that he wasn't really spying on anyone in the privacy of their homes, only observing the goings-on as he might if he were there watching with his eyes. Less useful in that it was a disconnect between them and the rest of the yard, when so many were still a bit wary of them. That was frustrating for Killerwatt in particular, since he liked to be aware of the patterns of the others around him, and that was difficult to do when they were reluctant to spend much time around him.

I've Got You, Brother by AHeartsWhisper

Summary
The freight yard was empty today. The usual clamour of shunting trucks and hissing brakes had been replaced by a kind of watchful stillness. The sheds were steeped in amber, afternoon fading into evening, and normally by now, Porter would be sat at the kitchen table with Momma, doing his homework while she cooked dinner.
Instead, he was parked neatly beside a stack of pallets, his arms and chin resting on a crate someone had left there somewhere around midday. Every so often, he fidgeted, but for the most part, he was just still. Waiting and watching the tracks.
Momma was coming home today. And this time, she wouldn't be coming back alone!
She'd been pregnant for forever! Ever since that first morning when she'd rolled up next to him, kissed the top of his head, and told him gently that she had something new in her belly. A baby, she'd said.

Summary
Tumblr prompt: touch aversion and trauma for porter lumber slick and hydra perhaps.
Freight were known to be close, just like family even if they came from different yards, it was strange, almost unheard of for one of them not to be attached at the hip with the others, but Porter couldn’t help it, he wanted to be as close with them as they were with each other…but he couldn’t.
He hated it when Lumber would try and wrap an arm around his shoulders, or when Slick would jump out at him, or even when Hydra wanted a high-five, it just got too much sometimes.

It was only while watching Lumber the next afternoon, tending to the plotted plants around the freight shed that an idea struck Hydra, sticking in his mind until he was certain he'd landed on something good.
He was going to get Lumber a tree.

Summary
When coal is no longer king, what do we do with the court? For the lucky ones, heritage lines supporting creaking steamers, destined for the same loops for the rest of their lives. For the many, however, it's the scrapyard, metal recycling into something new, exciting, efficient.
Porter is not one of the lucky ones. Electra will do anything to bend his fate.

Summary
Hydra has just moved into the train yard. He wants his fellow freight trucks to like him, but every time he tries it just seems to go wrong.
[Additional info: No Pearl, no Electra, no components sadly :(. Rusty is female and gay bc I want it to be like that. CB is also in this bc it's my fic and I write what I want. Male GB. I might write my own version of StEx in my free time. This will not be uploaded weekly or month, but rather released on my own time bc I'm busy and school is kicking my ass rn.]

Summary
Stella, a young steam engine, longs to become a champion racer like her father, Rusty, who forbids it. But when a dark new force comes along to try and tear apart her dreams, she must disobey her father's wishes and stand up to the powerful new diesel-electric hybrid engine Pacific Blue to save her yard from his plans of takeover.
This is my rewrite of Hero City Roller's Starlight: The Next Generation musical.
