Summary
"Victor, you ok?" Robert asked as he walked over.
"I thought about what others said today. When talking about Invisigal." He said solemnly.
Robert stops, and tenses.
"Well, I'm thinking about it too. But, what's up?"
"Did..." Victor began to rub his shoulder. "I cause her to get captured?"
"What do you mean?" Robert asked. Worried.
"I wanted to shut off your computer because I wanted to help more. All I did was silence a possible call for help."
---
A "What-If" in which an act of kindness by Victor for Robert at the end of the party in EP6, ends up getting Invisigal captured by mercs hired by The Red Ring, and ends up costing them all dearly. However, one last rebellious act by Invisigal before her capture, and by sheer chance, gives them time and hope. The Pulse is still anyone's game, but first they must heal.Bookmarked by AbsoluteMadman

Summary
It's cut day, and Coupe, Invisigal, and Sonar are at the bottom of the list. Only one of them takes coke on the job, has random transformations that make him unreliable, and can be manipulated by any pretty woman who glances his way. For Robert, it's an easy decision.
Malevola sees things differently. She sees a dispatcher who sends a recovering addict to a drug bust, who doesn't even try to use the transformations to the Z-Team's advantage, and . . . well, even she can't deny the last. But she knows that being cut means losing not just a job -hard for any felon to find-, but stability, support, and any path to recovery.
A demoness who takes the pain and injuries of others to heal them, and a man who can't stop getting hurt as he starts giving his team everything he can -what can they do together?

Summary
When your new boss is really annoying, so you fuck them to make them shut up. It works excellently at first, but it backfires after a while.
Short comic with human, middle-aged GLaDOS and Chell. Doesn't get explicit but close. The dub-con is very, very mild.

Summary
No one expected to think anything more of their newest dispatcher, but one by one they fall into his orbit, suddenly understanding Invisigal's obsession with the guy in their own ways.
[or: in which everyone on the Z-Team feels some sorta way for Robert Robertson, and it was fun for everyone to flirt with him until Phenomaman tells Robert he wishes to make love again]

Summary
Robert Robertson had grown used to the Z-team's constant HR violations, and what they discussed during work hours. So a game of Fuck, Marry, Kill about fellow superheroes during break time isn't too out of the ordinary.
What he isn't used to is what they have to say about Mecha Man.

Summary
The day has been saved. Shroud is dead, Mecha Man is back, and the Z-team have emerged as heroes.
A victory doesn’t mean everything is well, though. Robert is wracked with guilt over his decision to kill Shroud, Courtney faces the reality of her failing lung implant, and neither of them fully understand how to navigate the relationship that has blossomed between them.
And yet, when there’s a will, there’s a way. Both of them are certainly willing, so with enough effort, there may just yet be some… waying?
A series exploring Robert and Courtney’s perspectives in the timeframe immediately after the season 1 finale.

It's been 2 weeks since the Red Ring tried to destroy Los Angeles and life at SDN has largely returned to normal. Robert was back on the streets as Mecha Man, Mandy had taken over as the Z team dispatcher and was doing her best, Waterboy had joined their ranks for good and Sonar had been welcomed back with open arms. Well, mostly open arms. As the rest of the Z team seems content to move forward, Coupé finds herself struggling to accept the past.

Summary
In hindsight, it felt like a silly purchase. But thanks to SDN, Coupé's bills were paid, there was food in her fridge, she had SOMETHING in savings and she even pre-ordered the next Fain of the Sunlands book months in advance. And still had some left over!
In which a nightgown is not just a nightgown, Robert's choices come back to bite Coupé in the ass and sometimes starting over isn't the right way to start again.
