Summary
Mecha Man is dead.
Well, not permanently. That would require Robert to actually stay dead, and so far he hasn't found a method that will really stick. His suit is broken beyond his monetary capabilities to repair, however, so his hero career is as close to dead as it's ever been. He's just about to consider switching tactics, trying to become a hero without the suit when he's given a proposition. Become a dispatcher for SDN, and they'll give him everything he needs to fix his suit. To become Mecha Man again.
Of course he accepts. However, he doesn't realize that the job not only expects him to turn the most hardheaded, stubborn, pieces of shit villains into heroes, but also throws him directly into the path of the one family friend he's been avoiding for 15 years. With a budding crush on the local beefy tech wizard and corporate threatening to dismantle his team before they can really get started, Robert's faced with what appears to be a Sisyphean task. However, he knows he can survive long enough to become Mecha Man again.
After all, it's so much easier to survive when nothing can kill you in the first place.

Summary
How is anyone supposed to handle something like this? How was he supposed to? Just- one step at a time. One damn thing at a time.
Robert thought he died in the battle against Shroud. A bullet to the head trying to save Beef. Yet when he woke up right after his coma he realized he'd have to handle the insanity all over again from the start.

Summary
Everything so, so quiet.
Dying. Robert was dying.
He didn’t want to die.
Something hadn’t wanted to die, at least. He wondered sometimes, if it had really been him that night, clinging to life. Or if it had been the venom, already clawing up his brainstem, sifting desperately through the shredded remains of its new host's nervous system.
Mauled and sick-dog rabid. His father would have put him down without hesitation.
***
Or: Robert is a vampire. He's dealing with it fine. Perfectly fine. And his new job dispatching the ex-villain he put in prison years ago as Mecha Man? Also not a problem. All he needs is to keep his identity, and his condition, secret, and everything will be perfectly, completely, manageable.
Ft. much yearning, pining, and general idiocy between Robert and a certain fire-powered hero.

Summary
This is a series of interconnected fics set in a post-canon universe where Robert and Flambae are easing their way slowly—and a little awkwardly—into an actual relationship.
The fics are in chronological order, not necessarily in publishing order, but you can read them either way! At some point maybe I'll string all of them together with some transitional scenes and make an actual full-length fic, but for now they're just shortfics!
