Summary
Brown eyes scanned the sparse apartment of Doctor Light. He raised a half-gloved hand and ran it through his short blonde hair and wandered over to the large desk on one side of the room to drop the green helmet of the robot they had just destroyed. He hadn’t realized how heavy the helmet was until he was relieved of it. He heaved a short sigh and turned back to the gray-haired man as he milled about the apartment.

Part of a series of chapter-length posts. A canonverse AU where Protoman is working with Light and the resistance. AU where the Sniper helmet contains memories and personalities of its past wearers: the Sniper, Joe, and Protoman.

Summary
Quint has gotten used to his life as a member of the Mega Man Killers, an existence that he never asked for, watching the future stray further and further from the peaceful world he remembers helping to bring about as Mega Man. When Bass, of all people, finds out about his past, the last thing he expects is to be recruited to help Bass woo his younger alternate self.
There's a lot of work to be done before ANYONE would consider Mega Man's number one rival as a romantic prospect, and Quint's got no shortage of issues to work through, either.

Yes!! I love this throuple and Emily's perspective on seeing Light with Joe. Augh. Yes they're both enablers for each other. Which in another world could be good but alas. Wily believing his own lies !!! I never thought of that but it's true. This is great.

Summary
Blues Light remembered a time when he could see more than just static, a time when he could enjoy sunsets and sunrises, paintings, the time he’d first seen his iconic yellow scarf.
But now, he was blind. His old core had fried his optics systems since it couldn’t support such a high resolution. It had happened slowly over time, he hadn’t even realized until after he’d run away from Dr. Light.

Summary
Blues (Proto Man), long the stoic, cool sibling, cracks under the weight of guilt and suppressed emotions stemming from his past as Break Man under Dr. Wily’s control—especially his betrayal of Mega Man (Rock) and Roll. Alone and overwhelmed, Blues withdraws and nearly breaks down emotionally. Mega Man, Roll, and Dr. Light find him but say nothing; instead, they offer silent support.
