What sane person grows wings as a contingency plan? by Traindweller
Fandoms: Dispatch (Video Game)
02 Dec 2025

Summary
Blonde Blazer focused on him with a bittersweet look. Posture weary as her shoulders were slightly slumped into themselves, her hands tightened into fists. "Chase." She sighed. "I was just looking for you. Come in."
They both entered her office, tension settling in the room as she beckoned him to her desk where her computer sat.
"We found Robert."

Am I going against canon and only going based off the first four episodes? Yes. Do I have a thing for my favourite characters gaining avian-like traits? Absolutely fucking yes.

Summary
So people like me? The average Joe whose granddad wasn’t exposed to experimental radiation or fell into a toxic river, or was born under the star or Orias or something? We’re the soap bubbles. The thin paper people who still get torn, punctured, burned, and broken when not handled with care.
It sucks. But that’s also true of life. So it's not a huge deal.
It just means you have to be smart.
I'm Robert Robertson the Third, and I'm Mecha Man.

Sometimes, it's more about the person than the powers by Jazz7567

Summary
Robert had always expected to die in the suit. There was never even a question about it. Dying in that hunk of metal was his fate.
So what the hell is he to do when that doesn't happen?
Apparently, the answer is to mentor a bunch of former supervillains.
Nothing like how he'd expected life to turn out for him.
But then again... maybe that's not such a bad thing.

Summary
The Z-Team didn’t like Robert.
They were villains. They were fuck ups. They each had a giant chip on their shoulders that barely let them stand next to each other on a good day. As soon as his voice first came on the group call, they had to give him shit. If they didn’t start harassing him, the Blonde Boss Lady would have benched them thinking they were being mind controlled.
Every handler thought they could “handle” the Phoenix team. Tame them, make them palatable, water them down. Turn them good. So they didn’t like Robert.
But they did like his voice.

Summary
"Every kid deserves a chance, Robert!" Blazer sounded desperate but Robert could only offer her a sigh instead of a judgemental look.
"I understand that but... I mean isn't there a line?"
"Kid's are malleable, he's still young and I for one have seen great improvement."
"Alright... I trust you, Blazer."Bookmarked by ReptileLady

Summary
The Phoenix symbolizes renewal, rebirth, and resurrection, emerging from the ashes of its own fiery death to be reborn anew.
This is what Robert Robertson the Third tried to see himself as: A Phoenix. After losing his identity and job as Mecha-Man, he has a chance to reemerge as Dispatcher of the notorious Z-Team, a group of dangerous criminals given a shot at being heroes.
And, while everyone else regards the Z-Team as a dumpster fire, a nuclear bomb just waiting to be set off, Robert sees something else—he sees pain, understanding, and above all, an intent to be better. He sees people who had always drawn the short stick, who bet on losing cards, and who were always regarded as less.
What Robert sees... is a group of Phoenixes.
And he'll be damned if he won't stick by every one of them, regardless of what anyone else thinks.
tldr:
Robert is highly emotionally aware and fiercely protective, refusing to give up on anyone in the Z-team, even when the stakes are high and tension is rising. They're all a bunch of fuckin' idiots, as Chase would say, but they're undoubtedly his idiots, through and through. Blonde Blazer, oddly enough, supports this change of pace.Bookmarked by ReptileLady

Powers Don't Make Heroes (Bleeding on the Battlefield Does) by AngstArchitect
Fandoms: Dispatch (Video Game)

Summary
After revealing he is Mecha Man, Robert Robertson loses the respect and trust of the Z-Team. When Shroud abducts the team, he gives Robert an ultimatum: surrender the Pulse or let the team die. With a one-week deadline, Robert pitches an idea. If the suit is too powerful for the Pulse, then there was only one solution: make the suit smaller. Armed with a new suit, Robert tackles Shroud's challenge head-on and with a greater risk of physical injury from the smaller suit.
But heroes get hurt. Robert is Mecha Man, more so now than ever.
And Robert won't let his team down again.
***
Or: I have a headcanon that since the Mecha Man suit is too powerful for the Pulse, then they should make it smaller to reserve power.

Summary
Regulus Marlo Black never had a home.
All of those he called family, he either watched die, or only heard of in stories.
He's an orphan. A waste of space.
He spent his life being passed around Death Eaters and held in prisons. Kept alive as the remaining son of a Death Eater.
But now,
he's found a new prison,
but this one, he seems to want to call home.OC x Hermione Granger
Set from 5th year to Post Hogwarts. Divided into four parts.
Sirius Black used to spent his nights at Azkaban dreaming of his family. Dreaming of a different world. One where his pregnant wife wasn't killed and annihilated, one where his best friend didn't end up dead in his home. One where his soon to be born son would grow up playing with his godson. One where he didn't have to look at James holding Lily and fantasise about the love of his life sitting in his lap whispering in his ear.
So when on a random friday he ended up tripping a skinny, curly headed boy who looked like he'd never met a ray on sunshine on his skin, he didn't expect that the locket hanging around his neck to be the one he gifted his wife. He certainly didn't expect for his son to hate him so.

A Blackened Soul (or How Regulus Black Did What His Brother Could Not) by The_Fangirl_05
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
22 Nov 2025
Tags
Summary
This story depicts how Harry Potter's life goes from chores and slavery to politics and magic, and how one man's efforts to one-up his brother end up changing the future of the Wizarding World for good.
----
Regulus Black didn’t plan to become a father. But when he discovers his brother’s godson locked in a cupboard, he does what Blacks do best: steal the boy and raise hell.After a decade in a coma, Regulus is far from sane—yet somehow, teaching Harry Potter (now Hyperion Black) the art of dark magic, political warfare, and revenge feels like the first right choice he’s ever made.
Harry, meanwhile, isn’t complaining. So what if his new guardian cusses like a sailor and collects cursed artifacts? At least he wants Harry. And if their methods are… morally flexible? Well, the Wizarding World should’ve thought of that before abandoning him.
A story of twisted redemption, Black family drama, and the birth of an heir who’ll burn the light and dark alike to the ground.
Warning: Graphic depictions of Black family dysfunction (and Walburga’s portrait being a bitch)Series

Summary
When Daryl and Beth flee the prison, they take Judith with them. Neither are confident they'll see Rick again, but they both know they owe it to him to try to give the baby the best life possible. During their travels, they meet Aaron, and decide life in Alexandria Safe-Zone would be Judith's best bet at a relatively normal (for their world, anyway) childhood.
The only thing is, not wanting to risk the chance of anyone separating the unconventional little family they've formed on the road, Beth looks Aaron dead in the face and lies. It's not the most romantic marriage proposal he's ever heard, but Daryl certainly isn't opposed.
