Summary
Picking Waterboy over Phenomaman was easy, all things considered. Although Phenomaman was stronger, and had a better(?) reputation, and experience compared to Waterboy, the younger man had the eagerness and the willingness to try. Robert was convinced that Phenomaman had given up in that department. Blonde Blazer seemed relieved- if not a little apprehensive at first, setting the file down and looking to Robert.
“Can I ask why? I mean, I’m not upset or doubting your choices, but…”
“I think that Waterboy has the… temperament of a hero. He just needs that chance, ya know?” Robert leaned back in his chair, “I know that the Z-Team might give him shit, but everyone else got a second chance, why not give him a first?”
What is the only romantic option was Waterboy? What if Waterboy is a little bit of a stalker? This is my take on what would've happened if I had been in the writing room. Every romance option would've been Waterboy.

Summary
Things have been good— besides some lingering regret over not killing Shroud and the careful consolidating of corporatizing Mecha Man with dispatch work, Robert’s been alright. Hell, he even bought a bed recently.
Things spiral pretty quickly when he’s a victim of some sort of bizarro mugging and gets turned into a cat. Surprisingly, it doesn’t even rank in the top ten worst experiences of his life.

Summary
Herman is known online in some circles as Mecha-Man’s #1 fan. After Mecha-Man retires, he’s completely devastated until someone dares to ask him why he likes Mecha-Man so much.
Of course, he’d pass away if he knew the person that asked him WAS Mecha-Man. Good thing that the account is anonymous…

Summary
A retired hero… maybe. A team of misfits. A janitor that makes him question himself with a stutter and an adorable smile.
Robert’s second draft.
This isn’t the story Robert expected— but it might be the one he needs as he gets back on his feet.

Summary
Robert couldn't stop thinking about the damp paper he found on his desk that morning; it was obviously from Waterboy. The note was wet. The handwriting sincere. Forgetting it should've been easy- but getting Waterboy out of his head? Less so.

The Defender's Guide to Saving Your Delusional Partner from Himself by BamuBamu

Summary
“Despite all of this,” Jayce whispered, barely audible against the wind, “I am pleased that I will see you, finally.” With a steady exhale, he stepped into the air, surrendering to gravity’s pull.
But then—
Without warning, a tight, iron grip clamped around his neck, yanking him violently back from the edge. His breath caught in his throat, choking as he clawed desperately at the hand, but it didn’t loosen, only tightened. A cold, mechanical voice purred in his ear, laced with a lightness, an innocence, that felt so out of place.
“Am I interrupting?”
OR
Never underestimate what a cult leader will do to keep his stubborn partner close, whether he likes it or not

Summary
“So... you’re a transfer student?” Jayce ventures, trying to fill the silence.
Viktor shakes his head. “Exchange student. From The Czech Republic. I was in a dorm, but the elevator is broken more than it works. Housing made arrangements.” He sets his suitcase down and adjusts his cane, his movements precise but clearly strained.
“Right,” Jayce says, feeling a flicker of guilt for his earlier irritation. “Well, uh, welcome, I guess. Your room’s down the hall on the left.”
Viktor doesn’t respond, already moving toward the hallway without waiting for further instructions. Jayce watches him disappear into the room, the door clicking shut behind him.
He flops back onto the couch, grabbing his phone to text Caitlyn again:
Jayce: He hates me already.
Caitlyn: Don’t so be dramatic. Give it time. Maybe bake him cookies or something.
Jayce: He doesn’t seem like a cookie guy. More like... brooding and vaguely annoyed at my existence.
Caitlyn: Perfect. You’re great at brooding and vaguely annoying. 😘

Summary
When Viktor finally asks why Jayce stayed behind inside the Anomaly with him, Jayce stares at him as though he’s supremely disappointed by the question— as if Viktor has betrayed his own brilliance by asking something so irredeemably stupid. “How could I not? We’re partners.”
Partners, Jayce calls them. Not for the first time, Viktor wonders: Partners in what?
*
Or: Jayce and Viktor survive the Hexcore, a blizzard, their own bodies, sharing a bed and all the things they’re too afraid to say. Slowly, they put themselves back together— piece by stubborn piece.

Summary
Jayce is sent back to his own timeline, and he promised Viktor he'd make it right. He's held to the promise, and must relive the same events until he gets it right, no matter how many times it takes. Getting it right means killing Viktor.
~~~
“I won’t leave him,” Jayce spits, glaring at Ambessa.
She narrows her eyes at him, and glances at the new cocoon which holds Viktor. She looks back at Jayce. “I see no reason why your injuries cannot be tended here, outside of the medical tent.”
