Summary
“I’m making negative five thousand dollars each month?” Robert’s mouth fell open and he wasn’t sure he could afford to close it.
Sonar just nodded. “Sure are. Your credit card debt has credit card debt. I’m honestly shocked your credit score isn’t six.”
“So I’m just poor? That’s it?”
“Sucks to suck dude.” Sonar stood up, stretching as he yawned. “Bet you wish you’d sealed the deal with Blonde Blazer now, huh?”
“I’m not hot enough to fuck my way into triple my salary and a new suit.”

Summary
To call Robert's new situation with Flambae ‘complicated’ would be a drastic understatement.
Robert cut his fucking fingers off. Flambae tried to burn him to death after a bar fight. They aren’t good for each other, barely even like each other, and there’s no way it’s going to end well.
But when the sex is this fucking good, Robert is having trouble listening to the logic.
Or, the one where they become fuckbuddies and catch feelings.
(Everyone pretend to be shocked.)

Summary
“Stop being a fucking idiot normie and work out properly.”
“I do. This,” He gestures vaguely at himself, “is entirely different.”
“How?” Flambae seems almost incredulous that Robert could possibly be hurt outside of his overconfidence in the gym.
“It’s always there, it just flares up every few days. I can manage it.”
Flambae puts his food down, the lightest trail of steam rising from it. “So, chronic.”
“Sure.” Robert deadpans. “Considering the shitshow that is my life, I wouldn’t put it past me.”
“And, what, you’re doing nothing about it?” Flambae presses with a glare, and Robert raises an eyebrow at his tone. Is that. . concern? Huh.
~~~
Robert's chronic pain is flaring up more often as the weather starts getting cooler. While juggling weeks mixed with dispatching and field work, now that he's Mecha Man again, it's proving to be pretty difficult to ignore.
However, a certain flaming asshole starts taking notice. His favors start to make Robert realize something and also force the two of them to confront the history that haunts them both before whatever this is starts to become an option.

"You still single?" Rayo asked suddenly, taking a swig from his beer.
"What?" Chad blinked, caught off guard
"Oh c'mon, you've always been hard to lo-"
"Hey, babe," Robert interrupted smoothly, leaning over Chad's shoulder to plant a quick kiss on his cheek.
Or
Flambae’s insufferable ex gets added to the team, and Robert quickly realizes he can’t stand the way he treats him, so he makes a reckless decision: he pretends to be Flambae’s boyfriend.

My hands are not clean (they can still carry you home) by Arcturus_Ish
Fandoms: Dispatch (Video Game)

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?

You've been in the wind, you've been on my mind by vaguely_concerned

Summary
For… understandable reasons, getting tied up is not really something that works for Malcolm anymore, but after doing it to me so many times — I enjoy it tremendously when he does, and he says knowing exactly where my hands are at all times for once gives him peace of mind and emotional security, so who am I to deny him that or indeed anything — he’d craved something for himself that might give some of the same effect, just without the physical restraints. And so… I, the well-deservedly famous Twisted Fate, put my not inconsiderable mental resources to the task. We’re about to take the fruits of my cerebral labors out for its maiden voyage. I have great hopes.
In which the boys do some experimenting (fun and profit!) and along the way T.F. is exposed to the mortifying ordeal of being known (… now wait just a minute that wasn’t in the plan).

Nor Whole and Unbroken (Remember the Pact of Our Youth) by vaguely_concerned

Summary
Seemingly pleased with the order he’s got them in now, the stranger clears his throat and leans closer, into the circle of the lamplight, to put his own cards down in a perfect mirror of mine. Perfect, because it’s that same miraculous hand, that gambler’s dream twice over, painted cardboard shimmering like fool’s gold in the candlelight.
We somehow seem to have managed to put eight aces on the table between us.
Time stops, the world narrowed down to just the two of us. He meets my gaze steadily.
Now that he’s leaned into the light I notice his eyes are an unexpectedly bright shade of blue, like when the sun hits the Serpentine at just the right angle.
T.F., from the moment he first met Graves and beyond.

If Graves had the excuse of being light-headed and delirious, he wouldn't feel so... what was it? Embarrassed? Guilty? ...about the way he'd gone from leaning his forehead into the solid space between TF's shoulder blades to tucking his nose into the crook of TF's neck.

Watching if I lose my mind by prjctdiva (LudicRemmy)
Fandoms: Arcane: League of Legends (Cartoon 2021)

Summary
A figure stands there, slightly hunched, backlit by the bit of light coming in from behind them. Jayce’s breath hitches at the sight of familiar blue fabric and he feels — rather than truly sees — their eyes meet.
Okay. Either the mix of fatigue, panic and adrenaline is finally getting to him and he’s having visual hallucinations, or his partner is alive and standing before him.
Frankly? The former sounds more likely.
“Jayce…?”
Might as well add auditory hallucinations to the list.
The figure-that-realistically-absolutely-cannot-be-Viktor takes a few steps in his direction, and Jayce finds himself rooted in place, still standing in his poor excuse of a hiding spot. His nose chooses that exact moment to finally catch up with his environment and oh fuck. Okay. Fuck.
He’s pretty sure his brain can’t fake that.

Summary
How is he even supposed to respond to that?
Thanks, I’m well aware of how people see me and how they want me. The one fumbling entanglement in the basement of a house party was enough for me though, because she found it weird when I started crying and then got so mad that I wouldn’t scent her that she left.
And I only did it because she smelled so good, like a river, like fresh cut grass, and it made me so jealous I was dizzy with it. I wanted to be her, and I thought that was close enough to wanting her, and it wasn’t, and it took five minutes for my knot to go down after I locked myself in the bathroom to jerk off and I had a panic attack the whole time and then I threw up in the sink and vowed to be celibate for the rest of my life.
“She’s not my type either,” he settles on, maybe more melancholic than he means to be.
