Summary
“Hull breached.” The soft-spoken voice of his suit warns him. Blood is covering half the screen.
“No shit.” he grits out.__
Or, Robert loses more than the suit in the opening fight. Also some missing scenes and character moments that come with that -

Summary
The Z-Team is being sent on a short-term work trip. The only problem is that the destination is hours away… and the way carpooling ended up having Flambae, Prism, and Waterboy crammed into Robert’s shitty little Honda Civic… and whatever weird combination of flirting, bonding, and bullying each other is going on in the passenger seats. Not to mention Waterboy’s surprising taste in music.
This was going to be a long drive… especially when that work trip was to a conference being held by the Salt Lake City SDN— and considering how many PR nightmares they’d already caused? Things were only downhill from here.

Summary
Five years after Shroud is defeated, Waterboy lives comfortably as a high-ranking SDN hero. The Z-team, now a well respected hero troupe, lives on in something just to the left of glory. Everything is peaceful. Or, at least, as peaceful as it can be.
And then he's flung violently back into the past, forced to watch as old wounds open. Okay. Whatever.
There's really not much he can do without messing up the future, but... maybe there's some comfort he can provide. Some life he can bring to his past teammates' eyes.
It's the least he can do.

Summary
The ringing note of a concert A is played by the oboe, echoing on its own in the space. It’s picked up by the wind section, followed rapidly by the brass, and the familiar feeling of an orchestra calibrating takes over Caleb. The tonal adjustments as each person brings their instrument into alignment sinks into him and something inside Caleb shifts in recognition as Essek leads the strings into their own tuning.
It’s like something is waking up, like something unfurling and firing across long-unused paths of memory. His hands shake slightly, as he raises his bow and joins them, fingers fumbling against the pegs and fine tuners that give him control over his instrument.
----
Essek Thelyss is a leading violinist, his spot as Shadowhand of the Rosohna Philharmonic Orchestra has been uncontested for over a decade. Caleb Widogast is a recent arrival to the city, convinced by his friends to audition for one of the vacant violinist positions.
After starting off on the wrong foot, Caleb and Essek get to slowly know each other, discover what brings them joy, create while defying expectations, and find out that what they can produce together may just be better than anything they can do separately.

Summary
“How does he factor into all these… decisions?” Eddie’s walking on already broken ice.
Steve exhales like he’s just been sentenced to life, “He factors in too much. He factors in nothing at all, I don’t know. He doesn’t want to be factored in unless he decides to be factored in.” Steve’s hands resume their excavation of chipped red fingertips.
“Do you want him to be factored in?”
There’s a silence that lasts maybe ten seconds but it feels like hours, “I don’t.”

Or: Steve Harrington is all but rumor in Hawkins, these days. He’s found, rather unintentionally, hidden in the small corners of a big city.
Ft. A morbidly curious Robin and Eddie ‘I’ll process this later’ Munson
