Summary
Two alphas on a team tend to generate the wrong kind of friction. Robert, reinstated as Mecha Man and the new leader of the Z-Team after the fall of the Red Ring, finds himself constantly butting heads with Flambae on the job.
Blazer hopes that a new dispatcher might alleviate the professional stress. But when an omega is introduced to the dynamic, Robert learns about a rare physical reaction that occurs when a normie alpha and a super alpha are “competing” (they’re not competing) for the same partner.
Biologists call it pheromone mimicry. Robert, who suddenly starts to smell a hell of a lot like an omega, would call it the worst rut that he’s ever had.

Summary
"Ooo, Bae come take a look at this!"
It starts with a photo of Flambae cradling Mecha Man's face. They look like they're in love - they're not.
Of course it goes viral. Flambae had just been trying to check Robbo was okay after a tough fight, but the truth apparently doesn't matter. The truth doesn't sell tabloids. Instead, the internet is flooded with theories of Mecha Man and 'Ex-Con' Flambae's relationship, and every time they go out on a mission together, swarms of reporters try to get them to give a statement.
The rest of the team thinks it's hilarious. Robert, meanwhile is being surprisingly good about it and has been like coaching him on how to deal with the paparazzi. It's kinda nice actually.
He's not falling for Mecha Man though, no matter what the media says!

Summary
Ten years after his first victory at the college X-Games, Max Goof is certain he's hit rock bottom.
It's been four years since the fall that cost him everything. His pro skating career, his dignity, and most recently, his girlfriend, Mona.

But when Bradley Uppercrust III acquires the company, Max learns that things can, in fact, get worse. Adding insult to injury, Bradley is engaged to Roxanne, Max's high school sweetheart.

Summary
One of the main characters - the only surviving witness to a murder - has just woken from a coma. Not only is she entirely cognizant, but the first thing that the subtitles say she asks for is a lawyer.
“What are you fucking giggling about?”
The other person that’s been paying attention is Flambae. He’s right next to Robert on the couch, his arm slung over the top behind his head. One foot is propped up on the other knee, also pointing towards Robert, which has him caged in the corner by the arm rest. It’s probably some fucked-up power move. Robert has been ignoring it just to spite him.
“It’s just not how comas work,” Robert shrugs.
“Right, and you know because you’re a fucking doctor,” Flambae quips back.
“I know because I was in one, asshole.”
------
During a quiet night in, Robert realizes that his coma and injuries aren't common knowledge among Z-Team.
Most of them take the information in stride with jokes aplenty.
Flambae does not.

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
Robert rolled his eyes, crossing his arms and letting his head fall back. "Enemies to lovers? More like enemies to friends back to enemies. Asshole," he muttered.
“Still a better love story than Twilight." Flambae let out a cackle at his own joke, giving Robert a little bounce as he continued walking.
"Besides. Not my fault you're so tiny. Makes carrying you around way too easy. If you were gay, you would be on the bottom, I bet. Little bottom bitch twink."
Robert glanced up at him, looking very unamused. "Well. You'd be half right.” His gaze left, watching the cars going by.
“Considering I'm bi."
"Wait." Flambae paused in his walking.
It took him a good few seconds to process the words, staring down at Robert with a bit of shock. "Wait, are you actually?"
"...Me and Visi are open, too."

Summary
Early into Robert's time as a dispatcher, Flambae is hit by a temporary form of love magic that highjacks his senses and leaves him infatuated with the first person he interacts with. To Robert's terrible misfortune, that happens to be him. Now, he not only has to learn how to handle a supremely compromised Flambae, but survive the onslaught of ridicule from the rest of his team of ex-villains.
Robert has been through all sorts of bullshit before, but even this is new to him. Hopefully, he can weather the storm and get the old, bitchy Flambae back before the HR violations stack so high, they'll kill him if (or when) they come crashing down.

Summary
Overview: Canon Storyline with Flambae as love interest. Angst, sweet/smut, eventual fluff
*
Invisigal accidentally outs Robert as Mechaman in what she thinks is a private conversation with Blonde Blazer, not realizing that Flambae is close enough to overhear her.
Struggling to control his horrible temper, Chad goes to the gym to blow off steam and think…where he finds Robert trapped under the weights.
*
Breathe. Count to ten. You’re not a villain anymore…you’re a good man, and you can do good things.
“Ask me to stop,” Chad breathed, the muscles of his arms quivering under the powerful desire to end Mechaman right there in the headquarters. He needed something else, someone else to step in, but they were completely alone. Even the janitors had gone home. “No, beg me to stop.”

Summary
"Just one hint," Malevola pleaded. Prism leaned against her chair, eyeing Robert expectantly.
Robert stared at them briefly, deliberating over his response. He settled on honesty. They wouldn't believe him, and they wouldn't be able to link it to his identity as Mecha Man anyway.
"Sure. I can't die."
Prism sighed in frustration. "Oh come on! Don't be like that."

My hands are not clean (they can still carry you home) by Arcturus_Ish

Summary
The thing about plastic chairs is that they weren't a great substitute for an actual bed; the other thing is, Robert can't exactly afford to be picky and even if he 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 the internal debate is still ongoing as to whether or not he deserves a mattress at this current point in his life.
So, the plastic chair stays and is staying for the foreseeable future. Besides, it's charming - in a depressing, minimalism-that-is-totally-not-a-reflection-of-his-inner-sense-of-worth way.
Or:The fic where Robert has chronic pain and Flambae has warm hands. The two of them will figure out what to do about that eventually, right?

Summary
“If you’re not interested, you can just say that. I probably came on too strong with the whole… ‘fucking you until you cry’ speech.”
“You also called me an annoying bitch. Real mixed signals. I don’t know what to think.”
“You’re hilarious. How about we start with the home cooked meal and see where that goes? Come over tomorrow. I’m an excellent cook.”
“And humble, too.”
“Fuck you, Robert.”
“Not on the first date.”
“I think I changed my mind. You’re too annoying.” There was a pause. “No but really, come over tomorrow.”
aka Flambae and Robert get drunk and hook up. Robert definitely doesn't regret anything and the team is very normal about it. Surprisingly, that's not where it ends.
