    Summary

    The day has been saved. Shroud is dead, Mecha Man is back, and the Z-team have emerged as heroes.

    A victory doesn’t mean everything is well, though. Robert is wracked with guilt over his decision to kill Shroud, Courtney faces the reality of her failing lung implant, and neither of them fully understand how to navigate the relationship that has blossomed between them.

    And yet, when there’s a will, there’s a way. Both of them are certainly willing, so with enough effort, there may just yet be some… waying?

    A series exploring Robert and Courtney’s perspectives in the timeframe immediately after the season 1 finale.

    Summary

    They rounded the corner into the hospital’s main lobby — and everything shattered.

    Flashbulbs popped. Voices rose in a jagged wave. Dozens of reporters, camera crews, and spectators crowded the room like a wall of static.
    “Invisigal! Over here!”
    “Is it true you used to work for Shroud?”
    “Did you fake your redemption arc?”
    “Did you really blackmail Blonde Blazer into giving you your job?”
    Courtney froze. Just for a second. Just long enough to feel the blood drain from her face.
    ----
    After defeating Shroud, the Z-Team faces public backlash from the decision to spare his life. Invisigal has to learn to see herself as a hero, while Robert Robertson has to find a balance between dispatching and Mecha-Man.

    Formerly titled "Promise of Another Life".

    Summary

    Later in the evening following Shroud’s defeat, Robert and Courtney grab tacos for dinner. Then get up to a bunch of other wholesome activities like meeting the Z team for celebratory drinks and fucking. Things get a little domestic. Mecha Man takes his place at the head of the Z team while the last vestiges of the Red Ring accept a dangerous offer for a chance at revenge. Malevola confronts her past. Visi pushes herself to be more. Robert tries to solve a mystery. Golem learns painful truths.

    Post-Canon Epilogue to help cope until s2 formerly titled “embarassing” because it started as a 1shot fluff scene of the same name and morphed into more of my interpretation of the post-canon story.

    It’s gotten a bit out of hand with the world building but it’s a lot of fun to write.
