Summary
It has been a long shift.
Despite everything, rest sounds wonderful right now, and they can't help but sigh in defeat as Killerwatt slowly makes his way out into the darkness. The last thing they want to be seen as is weak, so surely they're not actually this tired; just stressed, definitely, it's been a horribly long shift with some awfully ungrateful bastards who don't realise what excellent of a service Electra is providing for them to get from A to B in time for whatever ridiculous festivities they have planned for an equally ridiculous holiday. Nothing is so important that someone should be rude, least of all to Electra who had been doing them all a favour by not slamming their breaks on and demanding an ounce of respect-
~~
Electra struggles with a horrible, nasty, overwhelming shift. Porter is here to pick up the pieces, whether Electra wants him to or not.

Summary
Joule and Wrench are fucking again.
It's really not a massive problem - it's not like Porter's a prude, he's spent all his life around freight for fuck's sake. But Electra hadn’t warned him just how hard the would be to ignore now that he’s tuned into the datastream.
~~~
New to this strange, futuristic communication, Porter’s not sure how to handle this new influx of emotions from the electrics. Electra helps him through it.

Summary
It's rare that Porter's ever this unsettled.
Not that it's a bad thing, but he's fairly sure it's got to be at least three in the morning, and he's not someone who's bad at sleeping. The last thing he wants to do is wake Rusty.

In which Rusty has a nightmare, and Porter deals with it badly

Out of everyone he was expecting to see tonight, Rusty’s absolute last guess would have been Porter.

Lay All Your Love On Me by AHeartsEcho (AHeartsWhisper)
Fandoms: Starlight Express - Phillips/Stilgoe/Webber

Summary
Rusty was… restless. He was still shaken from Heat Two. Watching Momma collapse after the race, Porter fussing over her with this worried look on his face, Momma's boiler cold in a way that was unnatural. It sent a chill down his spine.
And Hydra. The way they'd bolted the second they realised what had happened, like they'd done something unforgivable.
---
Rusty and Porter realise they have something in common. A shared interest in a certain hydrogen tanker. And they decide that tonight is the night that they're going to do something about it.

Summary
Hydra was learning very quickly that winter at Troubadour had teeth.
They were also learning that when Control said he needed a volunteer, if everyone else refuses, it's a sign that they should refuse too.
---
The winter chill drives Hydra indoors, but warmth brings more than just comfort. Caught between Rusty's heat and Porter's steady presence, Hydra discovers that safety, closeness, and something unnamed can be just as overwhelming as the cold.

Summary
Momma had been warned that the new hire was quiet. Lumber the wood truck, they had told her. He had only been in the workforce for eighteen months, and three of them were spent trying to fix a manufacturing mistake.
