This is a sideblog dedicated to making reader insert
content about the robots from Mega Man Mega/Gigamix!
Requests are CLOSED!! Run by @/shadow-man-daisuki REALLY slow updates because admin is currently busy IRL
Hi! I'm Niko AKA Lukky, the creator and owner of this sort-of old blog that I hid for a while (it's been here since like May QwQ). Even tho I'm very excited to write on this blog, I have some rules that I need to set up before I begin:
Because this is a blog about Hitoshi Ariga's manga, Mega Man Mega/Gigamix, I will not write about other series because I don't know much about their lore and characters.
The reader's gender will be set to gender-neutral as a default. But you can ask for male and female readers!
I write reader inserts in headcanons, oneshots, and sometimes drabbles. But I'm not experienced in writing drabbles, meaning that they will take a while to finish.
If you want to add certain details to your requested fanfic, please include them in your ask!
Poly relationships are allowed! And so are platonic and familial stuff!
I can do requests for all Robot Masters from MM1 to 9; 8, 10, and 11 are excluded because Ariga himself hasn't put the RMs from those three games in his manga(s) yet (besides the MM8 RMs, since they appeared at the end of Gigamix Vol.3, but that doesn't mean I'll write for them). I can also do requests for the human characters (Dr. Light, Wily, Cossack, Kalinka), and also Rock and Roll!
My limit is roughly around 2-4 characters, and I couldn't write for many characters since it takes time to make up ideas for them, IMO.
Absolutely NO NSFW here! The same goes for character x character content.
And remember: I take my time writing these types of things. So I'm sorry if I delay your request!
I hope it's ok if I request this, but can you do a Fire Man x Human!Reader where they meet for the first time? (I love the Ariga version of Fire Man so much)
Fire Man x Reader Drabble
Fandom: Mega Man (Mega Man Megamix/Gigamix Manga)
Pairing: Ariga!Fire Man/Human!Reader
Form: Drabble
Requested: Yes
Extra: Takes place after R Destruction Order, Fire Man is an introvert (implied), This is a drabble because I forgot this was in my inbox (AKA I rushed this) 😭
Imagine...
That you were taking a walk in the city alone, despite the fact that Wilybots attacked in the large storm that occurred much earlier. All other humans were still indoors, but you, on the other hand, wanted to get over the widespread paranoia by walking outside.
Everything was normal until you bumped into Dr. Light and his robots. Their eyes widened in disbelief as they saw a human outside just now. But regardless, then came in Fire Man, who slowly and calmly approached you. Afterwards, he looked at you in the eye as if he understood your intentions.
"You know, I understand you wanna take a walk, just to reduce stress and all that. Anyways, the name's Fire Man. Also known as DLN.007."
I'm kinda new to Mega Man Gigamax so can I request some fluff with Mega Man and spending time at the park?
A moment of peace and love (between the two of us)
Fandom: Mega Man (Mega Man Megamix/Gigamix Manga)
Pairing: Ariga!Rock (Mega Man)/Human!Reader
Form: Headcanon
Requested: Yes
Extra: Takes place after the Copy Rock hcs (and also pre-Burning Wheel), Reader is the same S.O from my Copy Rock x Reader hcs, Rock is Reader's boyfriend (and Dr. Light and the Lightbots support it)
Imagine...
Being the same S.O that was considered Copy Rock's "emotional support human". Except this time: you were with the real Rock and not a bloodthirsty copy. And as a way to take a breather from all the pain he’s gone through, he decided to take you to the same amusement park run by the Fifth Numbers.
Since Rock was the only Lightbot that was on okay terms with the Fifth Numbers (unlike the other Lightbots), you were given a special VIP pass because you were the lover of the Mega Man himself. But as usual... there was still some tension between your boyfriend and the Fifth Numbers since they're Wilybots.
He didn't want to overwhelm you with all the excitement of the park; so he decided to have this date go at a slower pace. And to start it off, you both went to Crystal Man's yakisoba stand so he could get you a small snack (because you're human, of course).
Afterwards, you took a calm ride on the Ferris wheel that Elec Man rode in that one panel from Megamix Vol.2, remember that? While that was happening, he held your hand in a comforting but firm way.
Because I don't have any ideas for more headcanons, we'll just end the fluff here by saying that you had a good time with your boyfriend at the park.
"Doesn't the view look nice from up here, [____]?"
Just posting my ranking of Ariga!Robot Masters by how dateable they are (this is just my personal opinion, so please don't take it seriously)
I only ranked the RMs I've written for (including the RMs I've written a tiny bit for) and also used my reader insert hcs/drabbles about them as part of my reasons behind my placements for them, meaning that I'll put the RMs I haven't written for in the white tier (as I call the tier for the RMs I properly didn't write for yet).
For the robots not mentioned here, I'll just list them below (along with the humans). Also fair warning for long text and unnecessary headcanons:
I'd say Rock/MM and Roll would be in A tier since they'd be great lovers IMHO. The same goes for Copy Rock if he's not acting like a maniac; and if Dr. Light ever had an S.O (shipping him w/ Dr. Lalinde doesn't count since she only appears in the Archie comics), he'd be in both A and C tier IMHO.
Proto Man/Blues on the other hand would be in between A and B, but if I had (honestly) to choose one, it'd be A tier since he'd be a good boyfriend (if his S.O gets close enough to him).
I'm too lazy to think about a reasonable placement for Dr. Wily, so Imma put him in C tier because he screams C tier.
I don't know much about Dr. Cossack's love life, but something tells me he'd be in D tier because if he had a new S.O (that he hopes will not dump/divorce him), he'll be internally and EXTREMELY afraid of getting dumped again. But before we go on, how could I forget Kalinka?? Honestly, she's a solid C tier. Mainly because I see her being a person of both platonic and romantic relationships, and she doesn't care if her S.O is a man or woman (does anyone else hc Kalinka as bisexual?)
And Bass... would be Bass. AKA the nonexistent lowest row (that's below the white tier) in the tier list.
Hello! Recently saw that your blog wasn’t getting a lot of post due to the lack of activity going around here, so I’m going make an odd (and probably silly) request if you say so. Although I’m not really interested into romance, buttt this is probably be an exception…
MAKE A BASS X TERMINALLY ONLINE PERSON!
cause I’m kinda curious how awful the relationship would be ngl, (or maybe it could work? Who knows, it up in your hands!!)
Kk, cya!
((FINALLY, A NEW REQUEST!!! Ty so much for requesting 🖤💛💜))
(Kill This) Toxic and Burning Love
Fandom: Mega Man (Mega Man Megamix/Gigamix Manga)
Pairing: Ariga!Bass/Human!Reader,
Form: Headcanon
Requested: Yes (because of the polls I posted)
Warnings: Toxic relationship, Mentions of abuse
Extra: Bass is in a relationship, Reader is Dr. Light's grandchild that helps him with computer work (hence why they're terminally online), Bass dumps his crush on Roll for the reader) The fanfic is a reference to Kill This Love by BLACKPINK (hence the title bc I love Kpop), Bass is the worst Wilybot to date (IMO)
Imagine...
That you and Bass are complete opposites of one another.
Bass is loud, obnoxious, cocky (and sometimes even idiotic), whereas you were quieter, charming, modest and 10x smarter than he could ever be.
He first met you online when he "accidentally" found Roll's email address, and one of the recent emails in the aforementioned Lightbot's inbox recently was sent to you. Which then took him down a rabbit hole where he found more and more pictures of you that eventually led him to focus on you instead.
After that, you found out that Bass sent you an sweet-ish email by coaxing (more like coercing) Roll to send you an email, all because the Wilybot wanted you to fall in love with him back so badly.
And even if he succeeded with his "high" methods, there was one price Bass himself had to pay...
He had to accept that you were Dr. Light's grandchild.
Because of what was mentioned above; he had no choice but to keep his relationship with you a secret from everyone, including Dr. Wily.
He'd always feel flustered whenever he found compliment in an email sent by you, since you were too focused on your computer work to even go on an in-person date with him.
But little did you know, you would slowly start to feel more like a slave to both your emotions and Bass himself.
Overtime, every time you went on a date, online or not, your grandfather and your fellow Lightbots began to notice that your relationship with Bass was becoming more toxic. From the hidden signs of psychological and emotional abuse the black and yellow Wilybot was projecting onto you and all other red flags as seen through your chat log with him. And you didn’t know what to do while he was doing all of this.
But your family had one solution: to kill the love between you and Bass.
Eventually, he broke up with you since you started to listen and consider your family's words; ESPECIALLY Rock's words. The reason? He was an awful boyfriend.
"Tch, that’s whatcha get for being stupid, you grand-daddy’s child…”
There's always a time for love (in destruction and tragedy)
Fandom: Mega Man (Mega Man Megamix/Gigamix Manga)
Pairing: Ariga!Copy Robot (Rock)/Human!Reader
Form: Headcanon
Requested: Yes (because of the polls)
Extra: Takes place during Megamix Vol.3 (Duh), Reader is lucky enough to be loved by Copy Rock (because they're the only person stopping him from going insane, and is also OG!Rock/MM's lover)
Imagine...
Being Copy Rock's emotional support human; all because the original (and real Rock) is your lover. But you were very lucky to be the only human to still be loved and cherished by this bloodthirsty copy of your boyfriend.
Whenever he was near you, he held your hand all the time - his larger hand covering your smaller one and dragging you everywhere he went. And the only time he let go was when he encountered and began his fight with Proto Man.
For the sake of your safety, the copy had no choice but to warn you to run as far away - because the last thing he'd want is to kill you: the only human that he would genuinely spare.
Fast forward to right now, while Shadow Man explains the truth of Copy Rock's existence, the latter still won't let go of your hand. And this consistent gesture proved one thing: you were the only thing stopping him from going berserk.
After Shadow Man left and told the copy to go do his own thing; said copy had a not-so-violent and heartwarming idea…
He can take you on a secret date!
And so, he did exactly that... before the rest of Megamix Vol.3 happened. Despite being a copy of your boyfriend, he took you on a date that was worth all the trouble he caused.
"You still love me, even when I'm just a copy... right?"

The Wilybots won the poll! But here's another poll because why not!
Pick a Wilybot line I should write for :D
Write for the Second Numbers/MM2 RMs
Write for the Third Numbers/MM3 RMs
Write for the Fifth Numbers/MM5 RMs
Write for the Seventh Numbers/MM7 RMs
Write for someone like Bass, the Dark Men or Copy Rock
Voting ended onMar 3, 2025
Side note: I won't include the Eighth Numbers/MM8 RMs because they only appeared as cameos at the end of Gigamix Vol.3. The same goes for King, the MM Killers and the Genesis Unit, albeit the Genesis Unit have only made their appearance in a small comic.
Another side note: I've also been thinking about writing my own headcanons for Piano (Ariga's scrapped Roll counterpart that was made to be a narrator iirc)
Ariga Crash Man and Ariga!Heat Man x human reader headcanons because I can't think of a good title
Fandom: Mega Man (Mega Man Megamix/Gigamix Manga)
Pairing: Ariga!Crash Man/Human!Reader, Ariga!Heat Man/Human!Reader
Form: Headcanon
Requested: Yes (Requested on AO3)
Extra: Yandere!Crash Man, Reader in Crash Man's part is the same Reader/S.O from my Quick Man x Reader hcs (if you want some context, you can read it). Reader in Heat Man's hcs is classmates with the same Reader/S.O from my Metal Man x Reader hcs. Both Wilybots here keep their relationships with their S.Os/Readers a secret because Dr. Wily hates it when his robots are in love. Metal Man and Flash Man are loyal wingmen.
Imagine...
Crash Man:
That you're the same exact Reader/S.O from the Quick Man's headcanons. But instead of Quick Man being the not-so-lucky Wilybot to fall in love with you, Crash Man takes the spotlight instead.
To be honest, everything that happened in Quick Man's headcanons would also happen with Crash Man, but he's 10x more defensive and would go apeshit if someone asked him about his feelings for you, regardless if that person is one of his brothers or even Dr. Wily himself.
The first time he met you was when he and Metal Man were caught and forced to fight a group of robot police officers, including you and Ring Man. And despite the fact that most if not all Wilybots didn't have the laws of robotics programmed into them, Crash Man, along with his brother, left the battle once he found out that he was fighting a human, AKA you.
After the aforementioned Wilybot and his brother left, Ring Man turned his head towards you, voice tinged with disbelief and confusion. "Did they just... spare us?" He asked, not believing that someone like Crash Man spared you.
But there was more than simply running away because of you. In fact, you were too interesting for him to kill. Too interesting to be a mere anti-Wilybot weakling for him to blow up.
Fast forward to a few weeks later, Crash Man developed a repressed obsession (maybe even a possessive tendency as well) towards you, which... is kinda creepy if you think about it. Imagine finding out that the guy you've been tracking for weeks became obsessed with you, and he even started to stalk and assassinate your fellow robot policemen behind your back. And since he didn't have hands, you'd silently freak out whenever he tried to touch you, mainly because his drill-hands spooked you out a little bit.
He was too stubborn to even let out a single word about you from his mouth, or even give his brothers a single bit of information about his feelings about you. And even if he did reveal a tidbit of info, he was way too honest with his own feelings, but his brothers already knew this fact.
Heck, even Heat Man came up to him one time as well! Clearly concerned about his brother's feelings for you. But because Crash Man is both clumsy and catastrophic, he ended up hurting his own brother... which resulted in him getting reprimanded by Air Man afterwards (since Dr. Wily is too busy with whatever crap he's doing).
Eventually, the stalking and assassinations only got worse overtime, as you soon realized that each place and building that Crash Man destroyed (and also fought him in) had a hidden message meant for you. And what's even worse is that his brothers (except Air Man and Quick Man) were coerced into being his wingmen, to the point where Ring Man agreed with your father and older sister that you'd have to remain in hiding since you were at the risk of getting captured by Wilybots. And considering what happened in Mega Man 4 and the Skull Man arc, it's perfectly reasonable why they all agreed on that.
The truth is... none of that s*** never happened! And you helped him become somewhat of a decent person... for the most part.
"Remember, don't tell ANYONE about our relationship. Or even have the guts to cheat on me with another guy, human or not. Otherwise, I'll make sure you learn a lesson if you do..."
Heat Man:
Let's say this: you were looking through the notebooks of your classmates, flipping through every page possible; and for some reason, you found out that one of the girls was in a secret relationship with Metal Man, who was VERY infamous due to his status as a Wilybot.
And as mentioned in Metal Man's headcanons, rumors of Wilybots dating humans started to surface on the internet, to the point where it reached your class' chatroom. What you didn't know however, is that you were going to be the next victim of the Wilybot relationship rumors.
While he may be crazy on the outside, just like Spark Man (if you've read his headcanons in this book), he's a huge softie on the inside! Always adding a "cute" attachment and/or gif in every email he sent to you.
Whenever he finished his duties, he'd always send you an email about what he was doing, how you were more handsome/prettier than anyone else he's met or seen. Regardless if they're human or robot.
But there's a problem... he's absolutely SHAMELESS when it comes to his love for you.
One time, he accidentally revealed to his brothers that he was in a relationship with you, a human that was ALSO one of the classmates of Metal Man's S.O (AKA the reader from Metal Man's headcanons). Only for Air Man to reprimand him as well for being a reckless simp, as well as the fact that the second oldest Wilybot didn't know that several Wilybots kept their relationships so well-hidden that said relationships were only known by someone like Shade Man.
But he only knew of humans being in relationships with robots because of the whispers shared around Wily City, AKA every non-Wilybot x reader headcanons/drabbles (minus the platonic hcs/drabbles). But with Metal Man and Flash Man being the responsible older brothers, they had no choice but to be Heat Man's wingmen in communicating with you better and enhancing his relationship with you.
Despite the fact that you were way too focused on your studies, you heard from the same classmate that was dating Metal Man that her beloved Wilybot was being his younger brother's wingman. Meaning that she knows that you and Heat Man are in a (somewhat) long-distance relationship! But as long as Dr. Wily doesn't find out that his robots are dating humans, it's totally fine!
Also, remember the ending of Cut Man's first reader insert headcanons? Heat Man tried to do the same thing, only for him to accidentally get caught by the police and is forced to hide in your house, apartment, or wherever you live. And I'll leave what happens afterwards to your imagination (if you want).
"Wait... you liked it? As in really liked it?? Aw yeah!! Metal and Flash were good wingmen after all!!!"
Fandom: Mega Man (Mega Man Megamix/Gigamix Manga)
Pairing: Ariga!Metal Man/Human!Reader
Form: Headcanon
Requested: Yes (Requested on AO3)
Extra: Reader is female, All other Wilybot x reader (minus Quick Man and Shadow Man but the latter is still mentioned) hcs/drabbles in this work happened before/are canon (implied), Metal Man is in a secret relationship with Reader, ShadowNiko (my self insert x canon ship from my main blog) is canon (also implied), Metal Man's helmetless hc is kinda based on willow-arts helmetless Metal Man design
Imagine...
That you were in a secret relationship with Metal Man. Yes, DWN.009 of all Wilybots.
Never in his life had did he ever think about dating a human. He absolutely hated them. But look at him now.
You, a nerdy/bookworm human school girl dating someone like Metal Man? Now that isn't exactly... uncommon, to say at least.
Because rumors of Wilybots allegedly dating humans *cough cough* Shadow Man, Flash Man, Top Man, Spark Man, Needle Man *cough cough* were beginning to spread, you and Metal Man have no choice but to lay low for an indefinite amount of time.
'Indefinite? More like forever...' he thought to himself, as he read an email you sent to him about the rumors mentioned above.
Like all other Wilybots (minus Needle Man), he takes you on a secret date whenever he's free or bored. And it usually happens in places where there are little to no people and/or authorities had the chance of finding out that you're with a Wilybot disguised as a human.
But... no one would really notice since they'd think of you and him as a "precious, innocent bookworm girl being protected by her edgy, dangerous, bad boy lover with crimson hair and sharp eyes" schtick. I think that's what it's called. After all, there were sightings of a brown haired girl in blue and black walking beside a specific ninja Wilybot in disguise…
Nad should someone find out about your relationship with him, he'd threaten them without any sense of hesitation; regardless if that someone is your relative, friend, classmate, or even a fellow Wilybot of his, he doesn't care. As long as you're safe.
Because of all the things he did for you, you'd give him a book or novel he's interested in as a way of saying thank you. Occasionally, he'd read one chapter of each book you gave him, but he would binge-read Chainsaw Man because he was that interested in it. And even if he doesn't react that much, he still appreciated the Pochita plushie you gave to him. (Isn't that cute?)
And before we end this chapter, let's just say that he likes to leave hickeys on your shoulders and arms with his sharp teeth, all while his crimson, side-swept hair is out. Which only makes the moment more hotter than it should be.
So yeah, to sum up what was mentioned earlier: he's the most possessive Wilybot that you (or any human/robot in general) could date.
“Don't tell anyone I left these marks on your shoulders, otherwise... we're f***ed."
I loved the headcannons! Had me kicking my feet lol and your writing is great! I'm currently back on my megaman fixation so you may see me frequently, but I have another request! Needleman and bubbleman perhaps? Dealers choice with what you want to do =] keep up the great work 👍
((I'll include both Needle and Bubble if that’s okay with you. And this is prolly my longest hc fic ever))
Ariga!Needle Man & Ariga!Bubble Man x Human!Reader Headcanons
Fandom: Mega Man (Mega Man Megamix/Gigamix Manga)
Pairing: Ariga!Needle Man/Reader, a bit of Ariga!Bubble Man/Reader
Form: Headcanon
Requested: Yes
Warnings: Light Angst (for Bubble Man’s sub-part)
Extra: Reader is Dr. Wily's grandchild, Reader is based on Maria Robotnik (kinda), Reader is living with the Lightbots, Takes place after Asteroid Blues, Needle Man’s (sort of) voice was inspired by TheMajinV’s Asteroid Blues dub
Imagine...
That you were walking all alone, late at night. Only for the computer in the room to suddenly get an incoming call. At TWELVE IN THE MORNING!
You then found out that the person calling you was… your grandfather? Wait, isn’t he busy helping Dr. Light work on that giant robot? Then why would he call the Lightbots just to-
“You aren’t actually speaking to the Doctor, you know.” A gruff, slightly baritone voice spoke out. Before the camera turns on and reveals… Needle Man?
What the hell? Who was this robot, and why did he call you?
Hold up… they’re in Dr. Wily’s old lab? So that's mean they've escaped, right? And despite your initial bewilderment, in the corner of your eye, you see…
Bubble Man.
Oh, you haven’t seen that face in so long, ever since your grandfather’s sentencing.
His visored gaze screams both sorrow and yearning, as he stares at your face on the screen.
The flashbacks of skating down the halls of your grandfather’s fortress came back; the memories of holding onto Bubble Man’s back and experiencing the ocean that surrounded the island, reminders that you’d once visit your grandfather and his robot masters every now and then…
But that all changed after Dr. Wily was arrested, and you were taken away from the robots you befriended for “kidnapping” you.
Bubble Man reminisced drowning in his own tears and misery. Seeing your injured, passed out form. But he had no choice but to leave you behind…
Back to Needle Man, you became interested in him and started to chat with him via email and DMs. But you had to keep this a secret from your adoptive Lightbot siblings and Dr. Light himself, because god knows what would happen if they found out.
And all that talking and emails eventually turned into a small but secret friendship that only you and the eldest Third Number knew about.
But what you didn’t see coming is Needle Man confessing his feelings for you an email; All while on a beautiful Saturday night.
"It feels kind of nice talking to you, maybe because you’re more… bearable than your own grandfather.”
