Summary
If asked what was the first work of Trent Crimm's he'd read, Theodore Lasso would have incorrectly answered An Aquarian Guide to Atlantis, IL.
Ted Lasso gets the opportunity of a lifetime when he's called to fill in for another director on a miniseries produced by Rebecca Welton. To their mutual surprise, Ted and Rebecca discover they're artistic soulmates, and work together to carve out a place in the film/television industry for themselves: Greyhound Productions.
Just as he's settled into his new life in London, Ted catches wind of a rumor that infamously reclusive novelist Trent Crimm may be auctioning the adaptation rights to one of his books after years of stubborn resistance. Ted (a long-time admirer of Crimm's weird, ergodic stories) cannot abide the thought of someone else directing a film adaptation. But Greyhound Productions doesn't have the money to bid against the big studios.
So, his mission is clear: Ted needs to find Trent Crimm and appeal to him directly.
Shame the man doesn't want to be found.

Summary
"We'll figure it out," Benji'd told him quietly when they parted, thumb swiping across his eyes. "That's how it works, we look at what we have and we figure out the possibility space."
Slight AU of TFR. The improvised emergency surgery and delay in medical care have consequences for Benji in the aftermath of the Vault. Forced to navigate a lasting change to his mobility, Benji tries to carve out a place for himself in the world after the Entity.
Ethan is there to help. For the most part. He's trying to help.

Summary
Benji has a problem.
Well, no. He used to have a problem. But it's well in hand now and he's got the EMT certification to back that up (under a false name, but still). So everything's fine. Really.
Until some bloody Alexa with a nuclear sticker on the top asks exactly the wrong questions, and suddenly all of Benji's meticulous, private plans are dragged out into the light.
Turns out, according to Ethan, Benji does have a problem.
And Ethan Hunt has never met a problem he hasn't thrown himself headfirst into solving.

Summary
Ethan dies.
And then he's alive again.
Even he was aware this was the sort of thing that needed to stop happening to him. Tempting fate was one matter but spitting in fate's face was another.
(Three alternate universes, in which a different person saves Ethan after the dive.)

Summary
“It’s not a real kid, Chase.”
Chase is technically underage, he’s a year away from being able to drink but the bartender didn’t bother to check his ID. Chase has always looked a little older than he was, it works in his favor now.
Nobody at a hero bar like this would assume he was so young.
“How the fuck do you think that?” Chase asks, spits. His hands still shake with the memory of it. The beer in his hand shakes with the tremors of his hands. “How the fuck do you do it?”
Mechaman sighs, deep, disappointed. He leans back, taking his whiskey with him.
The rest of the Brave Brigade was downstairs, drinking in victory, dancing with the other heroes, celebrating.
“It’s the Astral Pulse.”

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.)
