No Comeback! No Comeback! by Decaying_Soul
Fandoms: Starlight Express - Phillips/Stilgoe/Webber

Summary
The Championship Race was a mess for Greaseball, Caboose, and Electra. They had crashed and once GB and Electra tried to pull themselves away from the mangled mess they found themselves in, they ripped CB In half. The screams of the already broken Caboose were gut wrenching as his hips disconnected from his top half, and yet somehow he survived.

Real Trains Vs Starlight Express by Doublestack
Fandoms: Starlight Express - Phillips/Stilgoe/Webber
16 Dec 2025
Tags
Summary
Exploring the unaddressed gaping flaws, occasional strokes of genius, and unintentionally fascinating implications of Starlight Express in the context of actual rail history, especially in the US. A compilation of tumblr posts, some modified and expanded.
This is largely not “well acktually” nerd trivia, these are significant and often misunderstood real human and train issues that would not fly with cars, planes, etc.
Running themes include:
- this show is full of conservative propaganda too many fall for uncritically
- electric trains are erased and horribly stereotyped in most Anglophone media in ways that strongly resemble human minorities
-trains played a huge role in Black history and it’s a relevant if poorly implemented theme
-Electra is a deeper character the more you know about real historical context
-Workshop Greaseball is so much more accurate and awful than most realize and nearly perfect because of it
-Rail freight economics are unintuitive and highly regional
-Many side characters have weirdly spot-on irl counterparts.
-Hydrogen is really annoying to deal with as a fuel and rarely worth it -

Summary
Rusty loses an argument and agrees to swap bodies with Electra.
In which a cliche underdog choo choo is subjected to the gritty realistic assholery and infrastructure decay of the Northeast Corridor, and a gritty realistic electric train experiences the true meaning of having a coal car (decorative).
Ft. culturally authentic assholery and pranking people who get safety-critical things wrong. And shall we say, depictions of steam engines culturally appropriate to how US preservation employees see them.

this is sailed across the sea, and cried out to the shore (this is love) by WorryWar

Summary
Joule did not like the Above. It was cold enough to be habitable, yes, but it was too dry to be comfortable for very long. Unfortunately, she did not have a choice. Time had blurred since she had been captured- she had been too curious, and strayed too far from her pod to look at the Legged Ones and their boat, and had been caught in their net.
A Danger Kontrolle (Bochum JoulexWembley Wrench) fic where Joule is a mermaid and Wrench is a scientist, and somehow it all works out.

Summary
Joule and Wrench are fucking again.
It's really not a massive problem - it's not like Porter's a prude, he's spent all his life around freight for fuck's sake. But Electra hadn’t warned him just how hard the would be to ignore now that he’s tuned into the datastream.
~~~
New to this strange, futuristic communication, Porter’s not sure how to handle this new influx of emotions from the electrics. Electra helps him through it.

Totally Professional Starlight Chatroom by MissMercyCat
Fandoms: Starlight Express - Phillips/Stilgoe/Webber
10 Dec 2025
Tags
Summary
The Trainfolk decide to organise a chatroom for everyone to communicate better. With everyone out and about regularly, alongside friends not from the AV Trainyard like the Electrics, it helps to have an easy way to keep in contact with one another.
Until said chatroom is filled with stupid memes and dumb conversations than actual work communication.
Close enough, eh?Involves the Pre-2018 Cast, Post-2018 Update Cast, and 2024 London Revival Cast!

Summary
Dinah runs her very own sleepy little grease spot in the middle of nowhere Starlight County. She loves it more than anything in the world and values her cooks Hydra and Slick. She's head over heels for local hotshot racer Greaseball and Greaseball feels the same about her but neither know it. Big things are brewing in this sleepy little town as a fresh face shows up to work the diner! Pearl wants to be part of the world of racing but will have to stick to pouring coffee for now. Rusty comes to live in the junkyard with Momma and wants to salvage himself a race car to take on the world with. Electra has gained much confidence in their driving through being the front car for their components' convoy. Who will rise to the top?

Summary
Requests open, (any character, any version of the show, et cetra ) I am no longer taking requests that include smut/sexual content regarding most characters/productions - leave requests them in the comments or you can request via Tumblr (@notkithart, details on profile)
Commissions open see @allsortsofthings-sb on Tumblr for details
For the previous fic containing one shots, see my profile to use the following link:
https://archiveofourown.org/works/57936436/chapters/147482383
I have tagged all the characters and relationships as best I can but 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 knowledge on the history of this very complex production, please do give notes in the comments about what is right and wrong for the characters - be brutal if a character seems off. I do my research and know a decent amount but still can make mistakes as I am human)

Listen to the Radio Sing by StarlitPuppy58
Fandoms: Starlight Express - Phillips/Stilgoe/Webber
07 Dec 2025
Tags
Summary
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and that rings especially true when the yard’s brake-and-radio van is the picture of innocence. As the world seems to crash and burn, with more and more accidents piling up left and right, who would think to blame the string of bad luck on the ever-smiling Red Caboose? After all, he’s the friendliest guy in the yard, always there to lend a hand and help the rolling stock when they’re in need. Whether you need a shoulder to cry on, a racing buddy, or simply someone to keep you company while you trudge through the monotony of railyard life, the cheerful truck will be there with a quip, some comfort, or a little tune to lift your spirits. And who can resist listening to the radio sing?

Oil Is The Work Of The Diesel by lamestghoull

Summary
Momma was a steamer, and a proud one at that. Taking her age and her strength in her stride that couldn’t be dampened by insults or jeering. And that was the clash. Slick was Momma’s daughter, she’d raised her after all. But there was always that underlying factor, steam and oil didn’t seem to mix.

Summary
Belle knew there was an irony in being a sleeping car with narcolepsy. Most of the time she didn't let it bother her, nor did she let her narcolepsy get in the way of her life. She'd found ways to manage it and was pretty much living her life to the fullest.
Except when it came to sex. Despite how hard she's tried, Belle always falls asleep before anything more than a make out session can happen. Leaving anyone she tries with frustrated, and no longer wanting her. She's tired of it.
So when Electra offers to help her get over this, who is she to say no?

Summary
The non-adventures of fat, middle-aged freight engine Electra working for Conrail continue! Electra mentally grapples with the clashing cultures and expectations of passenger and freight lines and gets a naughty glorified sponge bath and massage from Caboose to feel better. Electra has very complicated feelings about public perception and the physical changes they’ve been through.
