Summary
Hooking up with Robert once was easy. Doing it again was a mistake. Doing it repeatedly over the course of several months, while accidentally developing feelings and a suspicious amount of domestic habits, is where Courtney really starts to lose the plot.
A continuation of bed chem, told in little pieces rather than one straight line: hookups, sleepovers, bad decisions, domestic habits, feelings neither of them wants to have, and all the moments in between. Basically, Courtney and Robert accidentally start happening to each other.

Summary
"I like you." Robert's words come out in a quiet exhale, but unwavering, unabashed in the quiet night air. "Might be in love with you, just a little."
Flambae swallows, throat tight, a coil in his stomach. "I-I...Robert." He places a hand on the railing beside Robert, the man still looking at him with shiny doe brown eyes. He taps the remaining fingers of his right hand against the cool metal nervously. "I...I'm sorry."

Summary
“This feels like an HR violation.” Robert pulled back to mutter the words and felt your laughter under his fingers, lighting his chest with warmth as you looked back at him.
“It is. Page 408, actually.” This time, Robert kissed over the jut of your chin and moved down further to worry his teeth over your jugular.
“The fact that you know that is both surprising and not. You do this often?” Robert felt himself laugh as his mouth moved lower and lower, until the fabric stopped his wandering mouth. For once, he wished for the blue button-up of the SDN uniform so he wouldn't be faced with such a dilemma. Even more so as your hands slid into his own hair, tugging at the strands there.
“No, no. I have just been to enough training modules where they strongly. . .” Your voice wavered as Robert bunched the fabric by the hem.
“Strongly discourage interpersonal relationships between SDN employees.”
[An SDN closet is made witness to a major HR violation, not that Robert really cares.]

Summary
“Rough day?” Out of all the words Robert could have said, that was all he could rasp out, feeling the cool rain drip over his face and the crevices of the Mecha Man armor.
“Yeah, you could say that.” You took a step forward, your eyes taking note of him. His injuries were more of the internal kind, blooming bruises under armor and fabric that Robert could feel when he moved. Robert opened his mouth to respond, but you raised a hand.
“No, I don’t want to talk about it. You don’t send the equivalent of ‘you up?’ text to get mushy with your ex.” He was making a bad decision, Robert knew amid the low haze of liquor in his veins. The two of you had ended the relationship amicably, mutually. “Not enough time for each other when we’re saving the world.” You had said, even though both of you had made time in the past. “I need this, I need Mecha Man.” Robert had said to you later, after his father had died. You understood his drifting away, fading away yourself as your own villains and demons called your name.
[risky texts lead to even riskier one-night stands. but you're both suckers for each other, even when it hurts.]

Summary
Your life until now was quiet, quaint, serene and mundane. You lived like you could, did what you thought was right and faced the consequences of your actions, a boring and mediocre life you appreciated.
Until he came through the front door, a knot on his bushy eyebrows as he looked around, masked face with a deep blue suit with a yellow M on it, looking everywhere like a lost puppy.
That was the first time fate decided to play with you two.

Summary
Robert Robertson is doing quite well. He has a stable job, wonderful friends, and is working on getting back on the field as Mecha Man. But there was something missing from his life. The girl he failed to mentor into a hero. The girl who only God knows where she went. The girl he misses with his whole heart and soul: Invisigal.
Takes place after the Villian Invisigal ending. Based on "Come Back", "Villian", and "Jealousy" days of #Invisimonth, but will continue past that.

Summary
Flambae's hatred for Mecha Man flickers out after a series of encounters with the man, his frustrations for him turning into a crush that he isn't sure how to handle.
Robert falls for Flambae almost immediately, but hiding his split identity from him creates tension and suffering for both sides.
After Mecha Man suffers an injury that leads to him getting amnesia, Flambae is "forced" to take care of him as his civilian identity, leading to a series of identity reveals, deep conversations, and (eventual) love between them.
(Title from Alanis Morissette, I definitely think Flambae would sing this song to Robert)

Summary
In truth, the combination of his hair being stroked and his features being touched with such tender sweetness had simply turned him to mush; the rush of longing and desperation to stay just like this made his brain go slow and stupid. Drunk, nearly, drunk on the feeling of being cared for.

In which Robert has a really bad day at work and turns up at Herman’s doorstep seeking comfort.
