    Summary

    He never intended to wake up every morning in Flambae’s bed, or to bring his minimalistic belongings over to his apartment.
    But sharing a bed didn’t have to mean anything more than a friendship.

    Robert didn’t know if he wanted it to.

     

    -

    Slow burn between Robert and Flambae, featuring relationships with the Z-team and the repercussions on Robert from killing Shroud.

    Summary

    On Friday, Blonde Blazer found a new sucker to try (and fail) to wrangle the infamous Z-Team at SDN's Torrance location. On Friday, they all bet he'd be gone by Monday. On Monday, he showed up. On Tuesday, he showed up again. On Wednesday, they got to put a face to the voice.

    He was the most basic and boring man he’d ever seen in his life. Average height, average brown hair cut into an average look, with big doe eyes and even bigger bags underneath them, a freckled face supported by a frame so thin and frail looking a soft breeze might knock him on his ass. All in all, he was entirely unremarkable in any and every way. Kind of cute, but in the same way a malnourished puppy covered in mud on the side of the road was cute.

    It clangs in his head like a nuclear klaxon: this is such a bad idea.

    He gets hard, regardless.

    post-canon. robert kills shroud and in an effort to reconcile the emotional dissonance he feels as a result of that decision and countless others he chose in the pursuit of becoming a hero, dubious choices are made -- and, with time and enough tenderness, unmade.

    Summary

    "You still single?" Rayo asked suddenly, taking a swig from his beer.

    "What?" Chad blinked, caught off guard

    "Oh c'mon, you've always been hard to lo-"

    "Hey, babe," Robert interrupted smoothly, leaning over Chad's shoulder to plant a quick kiss on his cheek.

    Or

    Flambae’s insufferable ex gets added to the team, and Robert quickly realizes he can’t stand the way he treats him, so he makes a reckless decision: he pretends to be Flambae’s boyfriend.

    Summary

    The man was in a suit that almost reminded Robert of something from Cirque du Soleil, all skin-tight, shimmering fabric with bursts of red and orange and a V-neck that showed a lot more than neck. The wrap-around sunglasses didn’t even look that ridiculous. 

    Infuriatingly, he managed to be beautiful, like a Monet in an Ikea frame is beautiful. He had changed very little in the years since Robert first encountered him, at least physically. Robert couldn’t say the same.
