Summary
After the explosion and subsequent fall that should've meant total destruction, Mecha Man miraculously survives. He wakes up alone in a hospital, a part of him missing. Physically, for sure, but a mental piece is easy to miss, and all the more devastating for it. Such begins the long road to recovery.
Sequel to my other Dispatch fic, but can be read separately. He doesn't remember shit anyway.

Summary
Awareness drifts back to him in fragments. One of the first things he identifies is that he hurts—his arms and legs ache something fierce, his brain throbbing in his skull. His whole body is sore, as though he’d just finished running a marathon. Which…which he wouldn’t know, actually. He’s only ever managed a 5k at best—there’d been a walkathon fundraiser at Grover Cleveland Middle, years ago. He’s not much of a runner, more of a biker, and not by choice.
His eyes flutter open, then, almost of their own accord. Everything’s blurry and far-away, as though he’s squinting through a tunnel to see it. His glasses are gone. He’s horizontal, sprawled out with his legs twisted awkwardly underneath him, lying on what feels like the floor. It’s cold and hard and presses uncomfortably against the side of his face. Something lukewarm and wet has pooled against his cheek, gathered around the corner of his mouth.
What…?

Summary
Six goes to a support group to make Claire happy. Senanigans ensue.
In which Six has a sexuality crisis, Ken is a being of pure sunshine, Driver would kill to protect his loved ones, K is tired of everything, Richard and Henry are messy as always, Barbie is intimidating as hell, and Claire was probably right the whole time.
Update: 5/27/26
Ryland is back on Earth and totally normal about touch and human interaction, thank you very much. He's only going to this support group so Rocky will get off his ass. I mean, there's no way anyone there is going to understand how he feels.Right?

Summary
“I’m Courtland,” The kid paused, staring at Holland for a moment with an intensity he had never seen in any teenager's eyes. Even Holly’s determined glare couldn’t beat this kid. “Maggie’s son.”
Holland could have been shot in the heart with his gun and it would have had the same effect as those words.
“And this is Ryland and Colt.” Courtland continued, nodding his head to the two beside him. Neither moved at the acknowledgment of their names. No tiny waves or whispered greetings. They were unnervingly silent and still.
Holy shit. Holy fucking shit...How on earth did his dead sister’s children end up on his doorstep beaten and bloodied?
Or: Suddenly Holland March has six kids instead of one

Summary
Eva feels like the breath is knocked out of her lungs when the man walks in.
Dirty blond hair. Blue eyes. Sort of like… if Ryland Grace was hit by a car several times. It was undeniably him.
“So you’re Eva Stratt,” The man says gruffly, slamming both hands on her desk. He looked exactly like Ryland, it was terrifying. It felt like watching a ghost haunt her in real life.
“You’re the crazy woman that sent my baby brother up into space. Let’s talk, yeah?”
or
Colt Seavers finds out his twin brother was sent on a suicide mission. He does not take it well.
