    Summary

    The thing about plastic chairs is that they weren't a great substitute for an actual bed; the other thing is, Robert can't exactly afford to be picky and even if he 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 the internal debate is still ongoing as to whether or not he deserves a mattress at this current point in his life.

    So, the plastic chair stays and is staying for the foreseeable future. Besides, it's charming - in a depressing, minimalism-that-is-totally-not-a-reflection-of-his-inner-sense-of-worth way.

     
    Or:

    The fic where Robert has chronic pain and Flambae has warm hands. The two of them will figure out what to do about that eventually, right?

    Summary

    “Oh- oh shit…” Robert dropped to his knees, crawling over him. That’s when he saw them: two bloody holes torn through Flambae’s shoulder and stomach. Bright red blood poured out like a river. Flambae had been shot. A spike of cold punched down Robert’s spine, even though the body under his hands radiated heat.

    Or, Flambae took a bullet for Robert (actually, two bullets), despite claiming he’d never do that. They both end up learning a lot about themselves and each other afterward.

    Summary

    Mark and Rex are dating, and not even the most brilliant minds on the planet can provide an explanation. People are drawing graphs and shit. They’re writing formulas and testing chemical reactions. By all accounts, it doesn’t make any sense.

    Summary

    “By signing the above form, you waive the right to sue the Life Foundation or any of its subsidiaries and holdings in the event of injuries sustained during the course of the experiment.” Eddie pauses for a second. “Up to and including death.”

    Drake's smile is pleasant and faintly terrifying. “A mere formality. Are you signing or shall I ask security to see you back out?”

    Eddie thinks for a moment about saying no; about ripping up this dumb form and heading out the door where - where what? Where his favourite park bench was waiting? Where he had no home, no family, no life?

    No, he was seeing this through. For his reputation, for the others who had already gone missing; for the truth.

    Summary

    Vanessa has only cooked for them three times, all of those instances being dinner, but she decided to switch it up this morning. Not like she had anything better to do after waking up at 6am, left trembling and gasping for breath in the wake of a nightmare that was all too familiar, the overpowering smell of iron and the phantom feeling of blood coated hands making it impossible to think straight.

    ---

    Vanessa falls victim to her own mind, and receives help she never expected.
