Summary
Every power has a price. Something that would make you laugh at the irony if it wasn't so damn infuriating. A man with the strength of ten at the height of half of one. A woman with asthma who needs to hold her breath to stay invisible. A walking fireball who can lose his eyebrows to a rogue flame.
So of course when Robert realized he wasn't powerless, he could only laugh at the irony.
An immortal man who wishes he was dead really was the icing on the cake.

Summary
Arthas Menethil is dead, and the Lich King is no more. Thrall still leads the Horde (because who likes Garrosh anyway?) In an attempt to allow for much needed resource building and recuperating after the campaign in Northrend, Varian Wrynn and Thrall both agree to a stunning new cultural exchange program.
The aim of the program is to try to foster goodwill between the ever-antagonistic Horde and Alliance. Is it possible? Is it doomed to fail before it truly gets off the ground? The answer to both those questions lie with Sylvanas Windrunner and Jaina Proudmoore, the first to partake in the exchange.

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.

Summary
Robert "Bertie" Robertson's dad never asked for a daughter. All Bertie ever wanted was her father to look at her. She's spent the last fifteen years searching for vengeance for his murder, and she's on the verge of achieving it, when everything is taken from her. But then Blonde Blazer flies into her life, and vengeance is back on the table.
Or: A retelling/AU where Robert Robertson is a depressed lesbian girlfailure and Blonde Blazer is a closeted perfectionist. Can I make it any more obvious?

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.
