Summary
Re-write of my previous story in the series:
To be human is a complicated situation. To be a person? To be seen? Hagrid knows just as well as anyone that simply existing in a world that has marked you as “just enough” yet still “other” is a hard hand to be dealt. He knows that unfortunately, ‘Nice’ and ‘Good’ do not equate to ‘Kindness’ and ‘Compassion’.
Sometimes the Kindest thing you can do, in the world you live in, is to destroy it, whether you mean to or not (you definitely mean to).
Sometimes the only way to live in a ‘Just’ world is to make it with your own bare hands. Tearing down the reality you live in, and rebuilding better and more solid, brick by goddamn brick.
It’s impossible to do it alone, but well. Sometimes it starts with a gesture, or a small word of solidarity.
Sometimes it starts with stealing a person.
Sometimes, it never really ends, just begins a new cycle.Hopefully it's a better cycle, this time.
This time, it is.Series

Summary
Where Tex comes back as Epsilon instead of Church, because she has never been allowed to define herself without him but like by fucking god she's gonna start.
And she goes by a bunch of names. Allison. Tex. Beth. Beta. Epsilon. Texas. Agent. Merc.
She's looking for a face that fits and she's trying to find one that suits her and is entirely hers.She's scrubbing clean her existence of him (the director, but not Church, never Alpha) piece by piece. But she's coming back for her boys, so you better watch out.

Summary
Anko goes after Orochimaru. She kicks ass in the process and heals. Not in that particular order and in completely unconnected events, she learns what it means to be human again. Or at least what that means for her.

Summary
It's not that Albus knows how an Obscurial is formed- all the knowledge he has is based on barely slapdash rhetoric and guesswork. In this universe, he doesn't know, and he doesn't care. Harry's physical safety is, to him, of the utmost importance, more than any emotional or physical well-being.
The tragedy about Obscurials, is that as powerful as they are, as dangerous as they are, no one stops to think how it is that they came to be - only blaming it on fear, bigotry, and a lack of understanding.

By and By: The Circle Unchained (Obscurial Harry Remix) by maplewoodmoth
Fandom: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
12 Oct 2021
Summary
The tragedy about Obscurials, is that as powerful as they are, as dangerous as they are, no one stops to think how it is that they came to be - only blaming it on fear, bigotry, and a lack of understanding.
What do family ties mean, to a person who has renounced them? Blood means nothing, after all, to a person who has already abandoned those connections years ago. Family, which Dumbledore never fully understands, is a choice, not a given, and blood is the same way. It has to be freely given, freely chosen, or it will not work.

Summary
B.Y.H.B, ‘Be Your Heroic Best’ had been explained to Robert, by Blazer of course, as a convention led by retired heroes, and heroes in their prime, with the sole purpose of teaching what they’ve learned in the field to better educate the upcoming, heroic youth. It was a two day event, Saturday and Sunday, and the SDN was willing to pay, round trip, for someone from the Phoenix Program to attend — with a chaperone of course.
When Robert had volunteered to do so with a member of the Z-Team, he hadn’t really thought the entire process through. Or, at least, he hadn’t thought far enough ahead to consider the reality he was currently experiencing: a reality in which he shared a weekend with a raging fireball who vividly hated his guts.Or:
Robert and Flambae go on a trip out of town and sexy things ensue.

Summary
Robert is keeping two secrets from his team.
1. He actually enjoys their company (mostly).
2. He doesn't need the subtitles to understand the K-Drama they just forced him to watch.
A two-part story about a heritage erased, a team that misses the obvious, and the inevitable moment the truth comes out.
——————
A/N: This is based on the fact from one of the developers that Robert was originally intended to be half-Korean in early development, but the concept got scrapped because of similarities to Mark Grayson from Invincible. We were ROBBED.

“So when I said I’m afraid I’ll fail you…”
His voice softened to something he didn’t recognize.
“…I mean, I’ve already failed you once. And I don’t get many second chances.”

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.
