Summary
Soundwave, once entrapped in the shadow zone, had now found himself in a mirror world, where the Decepticon Cause had held what it promised and the Autobots seek to restore the caste system under a religious dictatorship.
Megatron had once promised to conquer and come out on top with Soundwave, strong enough to stand by his side.
This gold tinted mirror of his master showed no interest in conquest.
There was no peace through tyranny.Soundwave's own worldview tilted.

Listen To The Sound Of The Virus (And Bleed Your Message At The Tone) by TheOneWhoDoesntWait

Summary
The calculations flashing over Soundwave's HUD go ignored as Laserbeak chitters in worry.
How could this be? He's loyal to Megatron, and yet, the numbers don't lie, can't lie. Megatron has abandoned The Cause. Abandoned it, in favour of conquest and settling old scores.
-----------
Soundwave has to decide if he's loyal to Megatron or The Cause he dedicated his Spark to. And also figure out why all the math points to Starscream as the more effective leader. And his logic centres must be malfunctioning along with Prime's.

Summary
It had been obvious, in retrospect, that Megatron’s uncharacteristic behaviour would trickle down- or rather up- from vehicons and insecticons who dared to get in his way.
Dark energon, one found, was like a parasite: twisting and deforming the mind until all that is left is anger, with no regards as to who it is directed at.Soundwave knew he was next, but he also knew he could do better than the others filling the Decepticon ranks.
He was Soundwave, one of the greatest gladiators Cybertron had ever seen, the most formidable Decepticon, the mech that kept the entire faction from crumbling within breems.
Soundwave did not make mistakes. He did not mess up.
That was what every Decepticon had been so sure of.
How wrong they were. -

Summary
After the war, everyone seems to be moving on. Cybertron is moving on and rebuilding. Decepticons and Autobots alike are moving on.
However, Soundwave is untethered, floating around in a cruel society that looks down on him for what and who he is. With his old master having let him go, Soundwave is left behind, feeling betrayed and lost.
A message that interrupts his monotony suddenly changes everything, and eventually, he finds purpose again in this new, war-free world.

Summary
After a scouting mission at an energon deposit turns into a scuffle with some Decepticons, Smokescreen is accidentally teleported away by a ground bridge summoned by Soundwave. He wakes up to find himself in the middle of nowhere with his comms offline, and, to make matters worse, an injured Soundwave is there with him, now unable to summon ground bridges. The two are forced to work with each other to make it back to their respective lives and factions as the strange effects of the haywire ground bridge start to make themselves known. Sticking together may be the last thing they want to do, but it may prove to be the key to their survival; misery acquaints a mech with strange bedfellows, after all.

Frozen Frequencies by OtomeGirl4Ever

Summary
Long before the war, Starscream was a brilliant scientist and Soundwave a humble worker—bonded in secret as conjunx endura in a world that refused to value either of them. When Starscream vanished during a deep-space expedition to a frozen, primitive planet, the Cybertronian Senate refused to launch a rescue. Believing his bondmate lost forever and embittered by corruption, Soundwave cast away his name, his voice, and his grief—becoming the cold, calculating shadow behind Megatron and co-founder of the Decepticons.
Eons later, with the war raging on Earth, Soundwave remains silent—unaware that his conjunx is alive, found not by Decepticons, but by the Autobots. As ancient truths thaw and timelines collide, the war's deadliest weapon may not be a soldier—but a love lost to ice and time.

Summary
Being raised by Animals is a common used trope in stories to explain wild characters with no understanding of culture and social norms, at least according to human media.
Soundwave, however, finds this ignorant, he was raised by animals and turned out perfectly fine.Or: Author wants an excuse to write SW being a lot less sane than the Decepticons first assumed

[Podfic] And the Beat Goes On and On by Flowerparrish Pods (Flowerparrish) for Triscribe

Summary
[Audio Length: 15:10]
Clearly, the offline yellow frame trapped by blackened earth had been trying to get clear even before the final explosion, likely ferrying his charge to safety. Small organic fingers tugged and shoved at the comparatively massive rocks, delicate skin tearing and leaving behind streaks of red fluid. But despite his panic, despite the pain, the human refused to abandon his guardian.
“Bumblebee,” he choked out, voice thick with emotion.
It reminded Soundwave all too much of another scene, long before, on another planet entirely.
