Summary
Robert Robertson the third wasn't real.
Sure, he looked real. Looked human.
He could speak and touch and do everything a regular normal person could. He wasn't extraordinary, no powers, no impressive physical prowess. He was the definition of an ordinary man.
Except that he was Mecha Man.
Oh, and he wasn't a man at all. He was The Astral Pulse, his father's greatest scientific achievement.
~~~
Or my own take on Astral Pulse Robert au.
A study in autonomy, personhood, humanity, and how having shitty narcissistic parents that see you as nothing but a tool can fuck someone up well into adulthood.
Well let's hope a band of stubborn misfit ex-villains can help with sorting out that last one.
Inspired by JUBE514's astral pulse Robert fic! It's very good so if you like this concept go read theirs!

Summary
"I still have my powers, idiot," he snapped, lobbing a pointer finger Robert's way. "Don't you think for a second that I can't use them any time I want to."
Robert inclined his head in Flambae's direction. "That's the thing, though, isn't it? You need everyone to think that you can't." He side-eyed him soberly. "To think you're someone you're not. And not just for a second—for days. Weeks. Months."
The blinds slithered across the windows, wreathing the room in a dim, smothered light. Flambae narrowed his eyes.
Robert shook his head slowly. "Doesn't take very long for that to get really, really, really old."
____________________________________When an attempt is made on Flambae's life, it's up to Robert to teach him how to be an everyman.

Summary
Flambae once joked that he'd never take a bullet for Robert. But as the old adage goes, never say never. Now Flambae's stuck on medical leave trying to reconnect with family while Robert struggles to contemplate why a man who once despised him chose to save his life.
And why he keeps looking at him the way he does. . . .Comments are appreciated and encouraged! You do not have my permission to use this work for any AI.

Summary
Robert felt guilty for keeping secrets from the z-team. They were starting to become a family, and he was getting closer to a certain firey hero. But he wasn't just keeping Mecha Man a secret, he was also keeping his prosthetic leg a secret in fear he would be treated differently. That was until Visi convinced him at the Sardine to come clean...
OR when the suit exploded it took one of Robert's legs with it and he's trying to come clean to the team and his situationship with Flambae.
This fic was inspired by fanart made by @citrus0lemon on twitter. I won't do the art justice with my writing, it looking amazing.

Summary
Flambae shot back the rest of his drink. "You need someone to treat you right.”
He shook his head, looking down at the worn wood beneath his hands. “Yeah, okay. And who would that someone even be? You?” Robert had meant it as a throwaway. A joke. He kept telling himself this, afterwards.
A beat. Flambae’s gaze felt hot against his skin. And not just in the way everything about him seemed to be. “It could be. I’d treat you right. I’d rock your world, bitch.” He crossed his arms, looking down at Robert.

Summary
Robert is cornered by a villain who's power involves a strong aphrodisiac and is left in an alley at the mercy of anyone who finds him. Luckily, that person is Flambae who brings him home and keeps him safe until it wears off. Robert is grateful for the help, but also very confused about how upset Flambae has been acting since. He knew he said weird things, but as far as he knew, the comments about Flambae hating him were true... right?
Drugged, but no non-con
Lots of care and emotional turmoil
Happy endingBookmarked by Cyndare

Summary
One of the main characters - the only surviving witness to a murder - has just woken from a coma. Not only is she entirely cognizant, but the first thing that the subtitles say she asks for is a lawyer.
“What are you fucking giggling about?”
The other person that’s been paying attention is Flambae. He’s right next to Robert on the couch, his arm slung over the top behind his head. One foot is propped up on the other knee, also pointing towards Robert, which has him caged in the corner by the arm rest. It’s probably some fucked-up power move. Robert has been ignoring it just to spite him.
“It’s just not how comas work,” Robert shrugs.
“Right, and you know because you’re a fucking doctor,” Flambae quips back.
“I know because I was in one, asshole.”
------
During a quiet night in, Robert realizes that his coma and injuries aren't common knowledge among Z-Team.
Most of them take the information in stride with jokes aplenty.
Flambae does not.

Summary
To call Robert's new situation with Flambae ‘complicated’ would be a drastic understatement.
Robert cut his fucking fingers off. Flambae tried to burn him to death after a bar fight. They aren’t good for each other, barely even like each other, and there’s no way it’s going to end well.
But when the sex is this fucking good, Robert is having trouble listening to the logic.
Or, the one where they become fuckbuddies and catch feelings.
(Everyone pretend to be shocked.)

Summary
“Yeah.” Robert let out a brief sigh. “And yeah, sure. Let’s do it.”
Well. That had been easy. Too easy.
“Hm? Are you saying yes just like that?” He couldn’t or shouldn’t complain, and yet… it was confusing, if nothing else. “Are you that desperate for Saturday plans? I didn’t even have to bribe you with my brother in law’s heavenly cooking.” Fun to say, when there was no one more desperate between the two than him, or he wouldn’t have gone to him.

Summary
“All that power, that control, that force–it was genuinely really impressive. And it was definitely meant for something so much more.” Mecha Man leaned back against the bar, eyes tracing the open V in his costume, lingering on his bare chest, before slowly drifting his gaze back up to Flambae’s. “I’m sure you’re an amazing superhero now.”
The comment Flambae was about to make died on the tip of his tongue. Any retort he could’ve possibly thought of scrambled with the butterflies ramming against the insides of his stomach, silenced by the alarms screaming behind his eyes. Was this some kind of trick? Was he about to jump him? What the fuck is happening? And why was Flambae freaking the fuck out over some few choice words that seem really close to a genuine compliment?
Or-
The romance option is Flambae and only Flambae. This is from his POV. Bro is down bad and angry about it.

Robert raised a brow.
“Damn,” He commented, shaking his head. “That dick would have to be life-changing for me to cook you breakfast after the first night together.”
Flambae gave him a considering glance. “Can you even cook?”

Summary
“Stop being a fucking idiot normie and work out properly.”
“I do. This,” He gestures vaguely at himself, “is entirely different.”
“How?” Flambae seems almost incredulous that Robert could possibly be hurt outside of his overconfidence in the gym.
“It’s always there, it just flares up every few days. I can manage it.”
Flambae puts his food down, the lightest trail of steam rising from it. “So, chronic.”
“Sure.” Robert deadpans. “Considering the shitshow that is my life, I wouldn’t put it past me.”
“And, what, you’re doing nothing about it?” Flambae presses with a glare, and Robert raises an eyebrow at his tone. Is that. . concern? Huh.
~~~
Robert's chronic pain is flaring up more often as the weather starts getting cooler. While juggling weeks mixed with dispatching and field work, now that he's Mecha Man again, it's proving to be pretty difficult to ignore.
However, a certain flaming asshole starts taking notice. His favors start to make Robert realize something and also force the two of them to confront the history that haunts them both before whatever this is starts to become an option.

my body's made of crushed little stars by DaQuirklessBeauty

Summary
Robert has always treated his body like something temporary—maintained just enough to keep going. Then one run-in with a passing villain leaves him younger, unscarred, standing in a body that no longer carries the visible proof of the pain he survived. As the Z-Team watches him move through the world in a way he hasn’t in years, concern sharpens into something heavier. Others begin to notice what Robert himself has long learned to dismiss, and the truth becomes harder to avoid: whatever hit him didn’t just revert him—it revealed how much pain he’d been living with, and how quietly he let it happen. Because if this is who Robert used to be, then the version they’ve known has been surviving far more than he ever admitted.
—
Or: Robert gets caught in the crossfire of a fleeing villain’s power—and wakes up in the body he had at twenty-one.
