not like I need protection (it's just that I wanna change and go in your direction) by DefinitelyNotACryptid

Summary
Robert Robertson the Third had known he was cursed since he was 7 and a half years old. Maybe longer, but the childhood trauma tended to make his early memories a fuzzy mess of color and pain. So did the traumatic brain injuries.
********************
Robert Robertson has no idea he's an omega until he gets diagnosed with Omegan Separation Disorder, or OSD. He has been without a pack, and without healthy touch for so long, and is now forced to confront the long-term side effects: Que the Z-Team and members of the SDN stepping in to help.
OR
I had thoughts about the different ways the Z-Team and other members of the SDN would engage in touch with each other to portray love and support, and decided that I needed to put it on the internet - the Omegaverse came after

Summary
Robert thought that if this was what the end of the mecha man legacy looked like, well. He didn’t think his father would be proud, necessarily, but he thought Robbie would have at least appreciated the irony of it all. An arch enemy beaten and another Robertson lost to the suit. The scales balanced once again.
***
Robert loses his leg in the final battle against Shroud and has to find himself within the long and hard recovery afterwards. Will he let those around him help him, or will he push them all away? There's been a lot he's ignored about his body and past injuries, and now it's all catching up to him. But it's Robert, which means he definitely won't be going gently into that good night.

Summary
The amazing @unspecificedfigure on Instagram created art for a Streamer AU with the boys, and I wanted to explore that universe!
THE ORIGINAL POSTJohn 'Soap' MacTavish struggled when he was discharged from military service for medical reasons, but with the help of his friend Kyle and inspired by the streamer 'Ghost' who talks about similar experiences, he finds himself a fairly popular streamer. Then his hero-turned-crush follows him, and he tried to keep his like from spiraling once more.
OR
The one where Soap has to recontextualize his hero-worship as he gets to know the real man behind the persona @ghostghames, and where Ghost has to let people into his life other than his flat mate and former Captain. Chronic pain, PTSD, video games, and crafts. What could go wrong?

Summary
Space was supposed to be a dream for most, something of comfort on a dark night. Something to gaze upon and fantasize about. A hidden wonder of the world just out of reach.
But it was also vast, and a holder of secrets. A cosmic entity that held the answers for those who went looking, and a danger to those naive fools who were forced upon it.
But maybe unlucky chance was destiny, and who was to mess with that?
___
Or: Your typical Grace meets Simon and they live happily ever after in their human exhibit on Erid. Be prepared for heavy existential angst, lots of platonic cuddles, a healthy dosage of Eldritch horrors on Simon's part, and Rockys best attempt to see that his new friend and pet human lives long enough to see his life through.
Based on my typical writting expect this piece to be anywhere from 150k-300k words, but we shall see since I only have a vague idea of where it will go.

Summary
When Christopher is kidnapped, the last thing the Grant-Nash Pack ever expected to find is an Omega protecting the young Pup. Only it's not just any Omega, it's the very same mysterious man that saved Christopher's life in the tsunami three years ago. The one that disappeared into the night before Eddie and the Pack could thank him. And now once again, the same Omega rescued their young pup. Eddie and the Pack are more determined than ever to help this Omega. Only things become more complicated when it is revealed that the Omega's name is Evan Buckley, the younger brother to Maddie, Chimney's mate. No one knew she had a brother and that was only just the start of the questions they all had. Why was he starved? Why was he covered in scars? Why did he fear his parents? Why was he scared of everyone? And the most important question on Eddie's mind, why did Buck seem to only feel safe around him? When secrets are revealed and the truth finally comes out. It leaves the Pack not only heartbroken but at war within itself. When true personalities start to emerge just how will the Pack handle the betrayal and devastation? One thing was for certain, all of their lives changed the minute they met Evan Buckley in the woods.
