Ruby Redfort Series - Lauren Child

right back where we started from

by sappho_e

For newly fourteen-year-old Ruby Redfort, life feels like a constant stream of Mondays.No mention of the Count since January means that she has passed her birthday and a new semester at school in relative peace, able to finish her Spectrum Field Training without any major missions. Longing for some action, she finally comes across the Count again. Only... life starts to feel just as repetitive. Suspiciously repetitive. (Or: Twinford is stuck in a time-loop, and Ruby is the only one who can remember the day when it resets. The only way to stop the loop is to prevent an unavoidable death. Time to catch up on her To-Be-Read Pile you'd think, or maybe try out fire-breathing, except Ruby isn't the one to die. It's Clancy.)

Family Aint Just Blood

by littlebirdrocks

Ruby looked up, aware that she probably looked like someone had tried to rock her to sleep by dragging her through a hedge backwards several times. Six hours of sleep over three days can do that to a person."Couldn't sleep," she muttered. In her tired state, she barely noticed Hitch's expression shift from one of surprise surprise and mild amusement to one of concern.Ruby can't sleep, and Hitch steps in.

Gone In A Flash

by Kitty Eden (TheBigCat)

Where is Ruby Redfort- every smart kid's smart kid? One thing's for sure - she's definitely not where she should be. If Ruby was here right now, Hitch's job would be a whole lot easier, her best friend might not be panicking, and the Count might even have been found by now. Not to mention the small manner of whatever secret LB's been hiding this whole time...Well, there's no use crying over spilt milk. The clock is ticking, and it might not be long until Ruby's time is up - permanently.

what we leave behind

by sappho_e

It's spring of 1974 and Ruby Redfort wakes up alone in a hospital bed with no memory of the past year of her life. Her parents somehow have a new butler, who seems to be Clancy Crew's new best friend.Ruby's pretty sure she's missing something important but she's even more certain that Clancy is trying to hide something from her.Even worse, the butler is sure she hasn't been injured from falling out of a tree or some other darling childish mishap but that someone has purposely tried to put her in hospital.But who would come after Ruby Redfort?

come to me feathered and frayed

by sappho_e

He thought about Bradley again, and almost was grateful because at least then he wasn’t thinking of Ruby. Bradley was tucked up in Twinford, where he would be safe and sound, and Hitch had done everything in his power to keep him there.But Bradley Baker the Agent had been on a shooting-star plane just like this one, and his heart probably hadn’t pounded so hard when he realised he was going to die.   A series of missing scenes to fill the two week gap where Hitch went missing after the plane hijack scene in Blink And You Die. Set in a wider AU where Zuko and Hitch are very ‘good friends’ and have been married for the past eight years by the events of BAYD.

one foot on the dash and her head out the window

by sappho_e

Ruby reaches 17 against all odds (and villain’s best attempts) and gets her very own car! It’s exactly what you would expect from Spectrum: massively overpowered and the biggest target for car thieves, villains and high school bullies.

this is the debt I pay

by white-water-rapids (locheia)

The story is relatively simple, to tell the truth; short snapshots of a life unlived but that could have been. When someone devoted to their cause finds reason to doubt, their life can change for the worse or for the better - it just depends on which side you're on.    This fic is a villain!au about Hitch and has been written for the Ruby Redfort 2020 Big Bang! It updates weekly, planned to end on the 12th of January.Thank you to Kitty for the art for this fic! You can find her, and the art, on tumblr at @agentredfort!

hey lover!

by sappho_e

It's February 14th 1974, and Ruby Redfort has a plan that has taken exactly a year --since last Valentine's day-- to form. All she has to do is give everyone around her that last little push towards finally getting together. It's worked out perfectly in all of her fanfiction at least. She just hadn't expected that she would have her own Valentine's Day Surprise ---Valentine's Day Special Babey!!

my greatest fears turn

by lostintheflood24

Ruby is seventeen, training hard to be an (official) field agent, and she hasn’t had a life threatening mission in months. Life is good, until it isn’t. This is basically my attempt at a longfic, I’m writing as I go along with a vague plot in mind, but I’m gonna be honest the plot is very self indulgent. This fic will focus mainly on Ruby, Clancy, and their friends, but Hitch and Spectrum will feature more and more towards the end.

really got this death thing down

by TheBigCat

Five years ago, Ruby Redfort was the most feared practitioner of necromancy in the Twinford region. And then she died. The good news: thanks to an unexpected mysterious resurrection; she’s now alive, re-equipped with her trusty magical death guitar, and ready for just about anything. The bad news: well, there’s a lot of bad news. She’s cursed, for one thing. And there’s the murder attempts on the head of Spectrum Eight’s life, and her undead maybe-possessed best friend, and - there’s just a lot going on, okay?Cue sick guitar solo.

saw you standing on the opposite shore

by sappho_e

Clancy Crew, former Agent, Aquanaut and Head of Spectrum Eight, was declared missing in action, presumed dead nine years ago, on a mission to explore the ocean surrounding Twinford in order to expand humanity into underwater habitation zones.Except... it's a bit more complicated than that. A role-swap AU where Ruby is the Head of Spectrum, and Hitch, LB and Bradley are all aspiring kid agents! This follows the Bradley Baker storyline in BAYD, but replacing Bradley with Clancy.

hillside's burning / wild eyed turning

by sappho_e

A missing scene from Catch Your Death in Hitch's POV as he rescues Ruby from the forest fire. Set in Hitch/Zuko AU. “Go get her,” Zuko encouraged. There was no need to say ‘good-bye’ or ‘good luck’: they both knew there was no way Hitch would leave Ruby behind, even if it meant Zuko had to fly back to Spectrum with the two of them hanging from the rope.

the only place i can hold you tight

by sappho_e

“Hey,” Hitch replied, letting Mimi pad past him to give Zuko the toy ball she had picked up. He threw it lazily down the hallway for her and she skittered past Hitch again to chase it. “Bad day?” Zuko made a face as he shucked off his heavy flight jacket and kicked his boots off. “Just long. Lots of upstart new agents declaring I need to go faster when the wind’s against us.” Hitch hummed in sympathy and stepped forward to wrap Zuko in a hug. “Did I miss dinner?” Zuko asked in a muffled voice. ------ Three scenes from across the years involving food, friends and Hitch being cared for and caring for others!
