Summary
after being healed from the crash at the final race, CB was placed away in the box as punishment. It was meant to be just a few weeks. But weeks turned to months, and months turned to years.
CB was soon forgotten about.-

Summary
He'd slunk off in shame, skating near to the edge of the yard. He was alone in the darkness, sitting down with his back to the rough concrete of a tunnel entrance. He pulled his knees to his chest, burying his face against crossed arms, blinking back the tears threatening to roll down his cheeks.
Sleep claimed him before he even realized.

Summary
“What’re you doin’?”
The voice was meek, soft, but full of curiosity. Hydra blinked, furrowing his brows before standing up. He couldn’t help but note the sound of surprise in the others voice, and as he turned her looked around.
Then he glanced down.
That was the shortest steam train he had ever seen.

can you believe him, he’s crazy. by starboy6969
Fandoms: Starlight Express - Phillips/Stilgoe/Webber

Summary
“Crazy.. can you believe him? He’s crazy..”
That was the first time Rusty had really started to hear things. After that race, after Slick betrayed him, after he thought he’d lost sight of every dream he’s ever had.
Or: Rusty sees something that doesn’t look right and does NOT speak to staff OR text the British Transport Police on 61016. They can’t sort it. See it, say it, sorted.

Summary
Requests open, including explicit content (any character, any version of the show, et cetra ) - leave them in the comments or you can request via tumblr (@notkithart, details on profile)
I have tagged all the characters and relationships as best I can up to Chapter 194, please scan through and see if there is something you want as I have tried my best to organise it in an easy to read and navigate way.
Anthropomorphising/humanisation of characters (especially physically) will vary (so if you have a preference for a request specify)
(Apologies in advance for my limited knowledge on the history of this very complex production, please do give notes in the comments! I will do as much as I can to understand the characters but forgive me since I have only seen the 2024 London production, so am working with mostly vibes an research, so please please please give me notes in the comments about what is right and wrong for the characters - be brutal if a character seems off)

Summary

The coach remained still for a second or two, in sheer disbelief. Watching the others disappear, she decided that she'd had enough.
"Pearl's going the-... Pearl! Where's she going?! We've got a runaway coach!"
~
The final race consists only of Greaseball and Electra. Where was Rusty? Well, wallowing. Meanwhile, after Greaseball disconnects her, Pearl decides that she's had enough, and abruptly drops out of the race.

Next Time You Fall In Love by SummerNightStars
Fandoms: Starlight Express - Phillips/Stilgoe/Webber

Summary
We all know how Make Up My Heart ends, with Pearl choosing Electra as her partner. But what might’ve happened if she chose Rusty instead?
The answer: Things literally and figuratively go downhill for everyone.
Both Rusty and Pearl are wrongly accused of causing a serious crash in the final. Rusty is banished from the yard, and Pearl is shut away in “The Box”, where she meets two older Coaches who tell her to clear Rusty’s name.
Pearl takes up a false identity, re-enters the yard, and sets about trying to find what (or who) really caused the crash. But the deeper she dives, the weirder the truth gets…
(Rated Mature because of violence, injury detail, language, heated conversations, and a temporary character death. Not suitable for under 16s.)
(Set in the Post-2018 Bochum Production, with some Pre-2018 elements thrown in.)

Starlight Express - The World Championship Railroad Race by Whistling_Starlight
Fandoms: Starlight Express - Phillips/Stilgoe/Webber
16 Jan 2025
Tags
Summary
(An incredibly self-indulgent novelisation of Starlight Express, where almost everyone cameos and the plot goes on for far longer than a two hour runtime could ever allow)
Rusty is a shunting engine on the Apollo Victoria Railroad, who longs for something more than his lot in life. With the announcement of the World Championship Railroad Race comes a chance to prove himself to those who doubt him, including the reigning champion Greaseball, and to the coach he loves, Pearl. With tensions mounting as sides are taken, deals and deceptions are made, and a new electrifiying competitor makes themselves known, will Rusty be able to win the day?

"I know we're all very excited for the big race, but could we please slow down around Pearl? She's only just got here! And she's here to stay, so be nice!"

Takes place one year before canon.

Summary
“Hydra? Is that you? Slick, Porter? Are ye back? Momma?”
He burst into the kitchen, where he saw Hydra on the floor, picking up pieces of a broken bowl on the floor.
He was now muttering the word no under his breath when Lumber bent down beside him. “Hey, Hy? What happened?”
Hydra looked over at him, eyes wide with shock. “I dropped a bowl while doing the dishes- Mommas gonna be so mad, she uses this bowl a lot.”
-
Or, Hydra accidentally breaks one of Mommas bowls while cleaning, and Lumber is left to pick up the pieces, both literally and metaphorically.
