on my hybrid-robert-except-dad-forced-him-to-repress-it bullshit lately . newest flavor being some sort of werecat . havent decided which species just yet but for Now brain really likes the idea of his cat form being a lynx

him metaphorically latching onto herman so hard bc he just feels Safe around him . wonder where that came from (most of herms cats being former strays/ one or two former ferals, him taking care of a few feral colonies every time he sees them . just in general giving a safe-to-be-around disney princess vibe to cats) . him finding himself leaning into chad's warmth any chance he gets and just writes it off as it being related to his joint pain and has Nothing to do with how he does the same thing to any stray beam of light that enters his apartment . victor being able to tell Something's up but not being able to name what it is .

robert being Terrified when he purrs for the first time since his hybridness manifested . it happens either after the first time he hooks up with someone (dealer's choice on who) or its after the sardine fight when hes concussed and drunk and feeling well cared for by the z team

Robert, Chad, and Herman were all varying degrees of too wired to fall asleep by the time they all settle down for bed. While Robert was content to just scroll on his phone until he couldn't keep his eyes open, Chad— and subsequently, Herm— get an idea that's a bit more involved. They had extended the invitation to join to Robert, but he didn't think he had the energy to participate. To the surprise of his boyfriends, Robert does end up involved— granted, in a relatively small way, but it drives the both of them crazy.

Herm would like to think he's taken to dispatching very well— or, at least, as well as he could, given the Z-Team seems hellbent on interrupting his stuttering and disobeying his orders. It's no matter, though, since he has more worries that are slightly more pressing. Like how one of his idols that had gotten him into wanting to do superhero work in the first place, Mecha Man, joined the Z-team today. He doesn't have the time or energy to properly fanboy-out over that, though, especially since it seems like his duty as a role-model for the Z-team seems to kick in earlier than Herm expected. Mecha Man doesn't think he's fit for superhero work again, especially in a team setting, even after SDN has helped repair his suit. Hopefully Herman's able to convince him otherwise. --- Or, the reverse of Robert comforting Waterboy after his first shift. Watermech Week 2026, Day 2: Role Reversal

It humiliates him to admit it, but Elliott's been admiring the resident librarian and museum curator ever since he first stepped foot into Pelican Town's library. He's never spoken to the other man before, and yet he occupies Elliott's every waking thought, the blue of what he used to associate with the ocean and sky now solely belonging to the other man. So imagine his surprise when one day, the other man— who he eventually learned is named Gunther— had approached him, asking him his name, wanting to invite him into his life when Elliott was so sure he'd never make it into his story.

He wants to hate this. To never think of this again. A half-smirk fights its way onto his face just to spite him. Sebastian was always told he was a troublemaker: that he wasn't good enough, that he shouldn't be so reckless, that his irrational decisions will haunt his future. He rationalizes this as just proving them right, even if no one else will ever know about it. Sebastian swallows down the laugh that threatens to leave him; the one time he might live up to the expectations put on him and he can't tell anyone about it --- Sebastian's developed a new routine lately, soon after Kent returned from his deployment. It's his own fault things have gotten to this point; he's the one who started this… whatever it is. SDV Rarepair Week 2026, Day 7: "They'll never know"

Rating: Explicit Content Warning(s): N/A Word Count: 7,377 total so far (4,007 chapter 1, 3,370 chapter 2) Fic Summary: Dakota Evans is very fed up with his life. His grandfather recently passed-- the only remaining family members to who cared about him-- and his customer support job for Joja hadn't gave him time off for the funeral. (They increased his hours, actually, which pissed him and his family off.) His grandfather gave him a letter the day before he passed, but Dakota only brings himself to read it a week after his funeral. It gives him an out to finally quit this soul-sucking job and start a new life for himself away from the buzz of Zuzu. It takes Dakota a while to get his feet off the ground. At least he has… another stream of money to keep him afloat.

Sam and Sebastian have been dating for about 2 months, and after a very embarassing game of Truth-or-Dare, they both end up subscribing to a specific sort of voice actor named VAbel_xx. He hasn't posted in about a week, though, and it leaves them both oddly concerned. A new farmer moves in around the same time, however, and that opens up a whole new can of worms. At least Abel's back!
