    Summary

    “What’s a good line to text a guy during a blackout?”

    Robert responded automatically, giving some cheesy line from the top of his head about looting that even he could tell wasn’t great - though he blamed it on his having to focus on the huge shitstorm brewing across the city thanks to the blackout.

    …He didn’t particularly think Golem’s suggestion of “Boo” was that good either, but Flambae obviously had his own ideas of what guys want to hear. Given how often he bragged in comms about getting with different guys, maybe Robert’s judgement was just off.

    Summary

    The air to Robert’s left grows warm, then hot—a concentrated sunlight that finally forces him to glance up. 

    Flambae’s hovering over the catwalk now, still nothing but a silhouette of fire. No trace of flesh. No trace of bones. Even his eyes are consumed by flames, leading Robert to wonder about the reliability of the man’s vision. He is a floating fiery ghoul, by all accounts. 

    One who may or may not be able to see. 

    Even so, the sight is formidable. He’d be impressed—seeing the effect up close like this is different than seeing it through the Mecha Man suit—but the image of the man slipping on a puddle and breaking his tooth on the bar makes it difficult to be anything but vaguely amused.

    “If you’re gonna throw me off, could you at least do it in your other form?” Robert asks listlessly. “I’d like to die without third-degree burns, if at all possible.”

    Summary

    Growing up, Robert had conflicted feelings about meeting his soulmate, but after the death of his father, he did what he could to actively avoid an encounter with them. The man had many scars (both physical and mental) that showed he was not exactly an ideal partner or soulmate anyway.

    Still, nothing could have prepared him for who he ended up getting.

    Dispatch soulmate AU where you can feel the others pain, but because it's Robert x Flambae, it's going to be messy.

    Summary

    The Z Team's love language is insults, Robert's fine with that. Hell he shows his affection like that too.

    But sometimes he has bad days and some comments get to him.

    After maybe one to many degrading comments and waking up late, Robert stays home for the day.

    Flamebae (and The Z Team) stress about the consequences of their actions for once.

    Summary

    Soulmate marks appear when you meet your soulmate. If the bond is strong enough, you feel echoes of each other's pain.

    Robert Robertson III got his mark three years ago and doesn't remember who gave it to him. Flambae was arrested by Mecha Man three years ago, has been hiding his mark ever since that day.

    or,

    Two people connected by pain, by destiny, by a bond they can't escape. Both carrying three years of suffering. Both trying to figure out what it means to be soulmates when the connection started with trauma.

    The Z-team plots to make sure their favorite dispatcher is well fed.

    Summary

    Robert Robertson should have died years ago. He’s a powerless superhero who’s been beaten, blown up, and on the wrong side of the edge of disaster more times than he can count.

    After he becomes a dispatcher, Z-team notices the strange way Robert seems to survive almost anything and comes to a conclusion.

    Robert Robertson might not be so powerless after all.

    Turns out, HR is a real thing in SDN. Turns out, they like to blackmail their own employees into agreeing to a documentary about their rag tag group of fuck ups turned marketable heroes.

    Also, turns out the Internet loves a good sexy, miserable, tired and overworked man.

    Cue Robert Robertson, entering stage left.

    Aka the world discovers Robert and maybe Z-team does too, in a more intimate way.

    Summary

    "It was almost inconsequential in the general gist of things. Robert would not have given it a second thought if not for the weird tension that sprouted after, and the fact that his team made a bigger deal than it had to be. It was not like he was actually hurt, not really, the fingers were not even broken. Probably. It was fractured at most, in his personal opinion. "

     

    Or

    The team slowly figuring out Robert's insanely high pain tolerance and progressively getting more worried about it.
