Summary
The fight between Robert and Shroud ends much differently. He had still gotten away in the nick of time and the bomb had still been stuck to his suit. However, the explosion had left Robert with injuries so severe that it was a miracle he'd survived. Regardless of how life-altering his injuries were, SDN was still willing to take a chance on Robert. Managing his disabilities and mentoring the team was the hardest balancing act of his life.
Will Robert fuck up his only chance of becoming Mecha Man again? Or will he manage to contain it all, and find himself growing a little too close to a certain flaming asshole?

Summary
Flambae had already knocked back enough alcohol that night. So really, “dare” felt like the only good option when the bottle stopped on him. He wasn’t ashamed of shit. He could do anything.
He was no fucking coward. He could send a thirst trap to Robertson.
What's the worst that could happen, anyway?

Summary
Post-canon. Robert was turned into a vampire during his early days as Mecha Man. He keeps the secret from everyone - Mecha Man is a powerless human after all, he's already the family failure, he doesn't need more added to the pile of disappointments - but his condition worsens after the coma.
He managed the first months working with SDN, partially by being still focused on defeating Shroud and managing the Z-Team. Now that Shroud is dead, he needs to discover what to do now that he has no meaning and the Z-Teamers are managing themselves after coming a long way.
And, on top of all that, there is the hunger that never goes away. It all would be easier if he could keep his eyes away from Flambae for more than five minutes.+
Or, a fic where a depressed vampire Robert finally lets go of the first four stages of grief with the help of a certain hot-head (literally).

Summary
“You infuriate me. I can’t stand to be in the same room as you. I wish I never had to see you again.”
Robert had always known it on some level, but hearing it as the indisputable truth hurt more than he expected.
___
When a sorceress hits Flambae with a truth spell, Robert is tasked with watching over him. It’s about as fun as it sounds.

Summary
When Flambae went to prison, it didn’t just screw him over; it screwed over his family, too. His sister was devastated, and after he joined the Phoenix Program, she made herself painfully clear: clean up your act, or you’re out of your niece’s life.
So when he gets a tentative invitation to her dance recital, Flambae takes it as his chance. He’ll show up on time. He’ll behave. He’ll take a leap and introduce his family to the guy he’s been seeing, as normal people do. Except the guy bails. The day before. Because apparently that’s “too much commitment”, whatever that means.
Now backed into a corner, Flambae needs a last-minute stand-in. Someone calm. Normal and unassuming. Someone who isn’t a walking red flag. Which is how he ends up roping the newly minted, normie dispatcher into being his pretend boyfriend for the evening— because admitting he got dumped doesn’t exactly scream I’ve got my life together.
~Or the fake-dating, enemies-to-lovers Flambert fic I’ve been craving.
