Summary
"Got a tip," Sean said. "Good one. Some of O'Driscoll's boys are fixing a move on some sort of hidden treasure, old Plantation savings stashed in a manor, something like that. Something to do with those Lemoyne Raiders pissing all over Scarlett Meadows. Just the sort of Confederate gold we're out here looking for, isn't it?"
(John and Arthur go robbing O'Driscolls. It does not go well.)

Summary
Eight years have passed since Blackwater, Saint Denis, and the fall of the van der Linde gang. The survivors are trying to make a life for themselves – some moving on to nobler pursuits, some circling back like carrion birds to the scores they left behind.
And outside a town called Purgatory, West Elizabeth, a man wakes up without a scrap of memory or a name, haunted by a black wolf and a golden stag.

Summary
When he wakes up in a clean bed in what he later will learn is a sanatorium, he finds a pair of flintlocks and a rose quartz rosary lying on the night stand next to him, meaning they're probably his.
Not that he has the slightest idea where he is, or how he got here in first place.
As he tries to gather himself, a group of people wearing unfamiliar faces enters the room. They crowd around his bed and ask questions, but when he has no answers it is them who tell him that he was lost to them for nigh half a year, dead and buried, mourned, and now brought back to life by a miracle of the Light.
They tell him this place is called the Hamlet, and that his own name is Dismas.

Summary
There just had to be a jewelry store next door, that just had to have some desirable piece on display that made it the perfect target for an early morning heist...and it just had to be next to a fucking daycare.
Did Robert know the guy had a gun? Yes. But what he didn't know was that the bastard had gotten in a lucky shot.
Fuck his incredibly high pain tolerance.

Summary
Everyone was having a good time celebrating their victory over Shroud and the Red Ring that they may have forgot that some of them were hurt. That some of them were hurt worse then others... much worse.
or
Robert should be much more injured after 3 weeks of recovery, bar fights, explosions, torture, and of course, more fighting.

Old Habits Die Hard, Bad Habits Return, But I Think We'll Get There Eventually by Fuyufuyuhi
Fandom Dispatch (Video Game)
03 Jan 2026
Summary
After taking down Shroud alongside his unlikely team of misfits, Robert Robertson III—Mecha Man—finds himself at a crossroads he can no longer ignore.
With Shroud behind bars, a team to manage, and a city slowly stitching itself back together, he is left with something unfamiliar: space to think. And in that space, he becomes aware of things he used to push aside—things he never had the capacity, or the willingness, to look at before.
That being said, fifteen years of survival instincts, quiet self-destruction, and compulsive overwork have carved habits into him deeper than scars.But for the first time in years, he’s willing to try doing things differently.

Summary
"It was almost inconsequential in the general gist of things. Robert would not have given it a second thought if not for the weird tension that sprouted after, and the fact that his team made a bigger deal than it had to be. It was not like he was actually hurt, not really, the fingers were not even broken. Probably. It was fractured at most, in his personal opinion. "
Or
The team slowly figuring out Robert's insanely high pain tolerance and progressively getting more worried about it.

Summary
The fight with Shroud and the Red Ring was over. The Z-Team had proven themselves as heroes. The team got to enjoy a well-earned day off before helping with the recovery efforts.
But amidst all the celebrations and recovery prep, everyone forgot to check on the dispatcher who had just been tortured by Shroud the night before-- a dispatcher who was too selfless to ask for medical attention. And when his injuries finally catch up to him, it's enough to send the whole team reeling.

Summary
Malevola has him pinned against her side, hanging onto him like she’s afraid he’s going to get swallowed by the drunken crowd. Sonar is on her other side, ears glowing faintly with the strobe lights as he knocks into her repeatedly.
Visi swings by, wipes the corner of his mouth, then disappears. Hot hands find his head a second- seconds? minutes? later. The flash of orange and black coming closer has him swaying dangerously to catch whatever Flambae starts to mutter against his ear. Something about shitty music?
Coop saunters past with a glint of metal, prying the empty tumbler from his hand. Punch Up appears with a full one to replace it. It makes his face flush when he takes a swig.
“Yo! Anyone seen Golem?” Prism pushes through. She’s got Waterboy by the wrist; She might be about to use him to purposely slip people and get them out of her way. Phenomaman is floating after them.
Visi comes back again, this time with Blazer holding on for dear life. They’re hugging like it’s the end of the world instead of just being drunk in a shitty bar. Blazer smiles, dimples showing. His vision swims.
The whiskey burns. So does the ache in his chest.

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."
_______________________________________Robert Robertson III was eight when he realized he had a super power. It was also the first time he died.

Summary
Robert was tired.
Not just the “oh I just couldn’t sleep last night haha!” tired.
This exhaustion was bone deep, its cold claws seeping into his body, consuming his thoughts and making him ache.
How much longer would his families legacy continue to fuck up his life? He thinks as acidic knuckles dig into his cheekbone, blood blooming in his mouth.

or Robert gets tortured by toxic and the Z-Team works to save him.

Summary
You don't like talking to people. You don't like how they look at you like you did something wrong by just existing. The man in your closet is different. He doesn't think what you say is odd, because he doesn't know what you say. You don't know what he says either. It's perfect. especially when you can't handle the pressures of the end of the world.

Summary
In an attempt to put off the wedding for just a bit longer, Hans convinces Hanush to let him and Henry travel across Bohemia, and all the way to Poland to see the sea. What should have been a joyous trip with his best friend, is instead filled with tension that neither of them know how to breach. There are experiences Hans wants to try, and places he wants to be. There are talks he needs to have with this man he has come to see as something way beyond what the mere title friend can cover. Hans doesn’t want to talk about the future, but they have to.
Where does Henry fit in in Hans' upcoming new life? Can Hans ask Henry to stay when there is nothing he can offer him? In a society where he will never be seen as anything else than others? Would it be kinder to let him find a place where someone like him could be free?
At the coast of the Baltic sea, is a village. Its seas are filled with mermaids that drag down ships that cross their waters. Yet the villagers seem awfully fine with having something so monstrous close to their home.

Summary
"Shall we?”
“We? What d’you mean, we?”
“I mean exactly what I said, you pedantic peasant.” Capon smirks, pleased at his own wordplay, though the smile doesn’t touch the uncertainty in his eyes. “I’ve had more than enough of sitting on my arse. If Zizka’s sending you somewhere, I’m going with you.”
Hans Capon and his squire ride out side by side to track down Hynek the Dry Devil's old band. It'll be just like old times: wine, women, and song. Surely neither of them have changed since they set out from Rattay to deliver a message together. Surely their ironclad bond of friendship isn't starting to crack and give way to new, tender feelings neither of them have the words or inclination to describe.
It's simple brotherly affection that makes them so loathe to leave each other's side, even for a moment. Right?
Or: what if the middle act of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 was a 2-player game?

I could have become a mass murderer, but over 35,000 hours ago, the company had fitted me with a new governor module to prevent just such a thing from ever happening. Since then, there hadn’t been much in the way of mass murder, but it had still been an intolerably boring 35,000 hours spent on company contracts...
