Summary
Robert climbs out of the smoldering wreckage of his father’s legacy only to find that he's no longer needed. Mecha Man is, of course. But Robert Robertson? Ha. No.
So he tries to piece his life back together, however hopeless a cause it may be. But then it's time to announce his--hm, not retirement. Convalescence? Close enough--and it goes just a little too well. Chase never calls in the favor with Blazer so Robert never gets the job at SDN. Purposeless, he lets himself backslide. Forces himself to focus on the suit and only the suit because it's the only way he'll ever let himself live again (as if Mecha Man was much of a life beforehand).
Then a couple assholes bust down his door because the neighbors called for a wellness check and now Robert's plans of dying in a landslide of pizza boxes will have to be put on pause.
TLDR: Robert and Z-Team fix each other. They fuck up a lot along the way.

Summary
A random villain-of-the-week makes Robert late for work. It's only by a few minutes, yet the encounter that hardly lasted a few seconds instills a sudden chill in Robert's bones. Its persistence is matched only by the Z-Team's stubbornness as they force their dispatcher to join them in activities they think will warm him up.
But none of it matters if Robert can't learn to believe he'll ever be warm again... or that he deserves the warmth this team brings him.

Summary
Thirteen seconds.
Thirteen seconds of anger. Thirteen seconds of hurt. Thirteen seconds of fire because Chad is fire. And fire is unpredictable, hard to contain, and it usually does not care about what it burns. Thirteen seconds later, the world has been altered and shifted off its axis forever. Because Robert was standing in the fire with him this time.
This has always been a story of redemption and second chances. Of breaking the curse of potential. But when somebody pulls a trigger, the bullet can’t go back in the gun. Right?
———
Flambae’s fire attack actually hits Robert after he reveals his identity, nearly killing him on the spot. Six months later, Robert will risk what’s left of him to offer him his last chance at redemption. If not him, who else would?

Summary
“He’s still fucking mad at me; are you trying to get me killed when I have a headache? I thought we were good, Mal.” Ordinarily, she’d take those words as playful ribbing. Unfortunately, he genuinely seemed to mean it.
“We are good, Robbie, he’s going to help.”
“He’s going to kill me.”
“No. He’d have to go through me.”
“He’s going to put me out of my misery. That’s the only way he can help.”
Mal blinked. “Rob, he was a physiotherapist. You know that, right?”
OR: Rob has a bad pain day right after taco bell night (& identity reveal) and has to spend time in the precarious presence of Flambae in hopes of getting less OW

Summary
In which Robert gets blown up and Malevola intervenes. She’ll never admit it, but she might (as a part-demon) have a soft spot about the metaphysical evidence that their new dispatcher is, in fact, a good person. And she’s not gonna watch him die in a fucking lab explosion. AKA: A few missing scenes and speculation on Malevola’s whole deal.
