    Summary

    “This is a horrible idea.”
    “Why? What’s the worst that can happen? We have an awkward frag, you get to say ‘I told you so’ and we pretend it never happened.”
    “I could kill you.”
    “Wat.”


    Or: cycles later it will make for a funny anecdote that Barricade almost died interfacing with their resident false Prime, but at the time neither of them feel like laughing.

    Summary

    Imagine a highly specialized frame, streamlined to the smallest component. Balanced down to the most insignificant bolt, manufactured only from the purest alloys. Now mass produce seventeen thousand of them each vorn to maintain undisputed aerial supremacy over Praxus, forcing the latter to halt its production of flight frames altogether, because they could simply not keep up with the competition.
    These are the seekers, the elite guard patrolling Cybertron’s skies. Vos’ pride and joy.
    And they are not allowed to be anything but perfect.
    Those that fail to live up to perfection are disposable.
    And disposable seekers have only one place to go: the Sky Ballet.


    Or: Cybertron's society is built on pain and suffering from the lowest bloodsport to the pinnacle of performing arts. It takes Optimus too long to realize that this is by design.

    Summary

    Having ended their civil war with a bang and a very belated peace treaty in their own universe, Optimus and Megatron find themselves in the TF:One timeline, before everything went wrong. Not wishing the same war on their young counterparts, they try their best to steer them towards a better path, before it's too late. It doesn't exactly go well. There might be a body count.

    World building heavy story where D-16 gets a mentor figure, writes a poem, chases after Orion to save him from himself (and from the Plot), has the worst month of his life and uncovers some of the Horrors hidden in Cybertron's history, not necessarily in that order.


    [I was just wondering… do you think there is a world out there where we don’t hurt each other? Even when we don’t mean to?]
    [We have ever honed and shaped ourselves along the sharpest edges of each other. It took us eight million years to wear those edges down into something that fit along the seams. It is how we are. If there is a world where that doesn’t hurt, I can’t imagine it.]

    Summary

    His fans are on high because they’re in the middle of a battle. He’s winded, of course. Nothing at all to do with the fact that Optimus, with his knightly blades and his proton axe, had used Megatron’s gun to make a fragging magnificent shot and said gun had listened to him on a biomechanical level—

    “Gimme,” he snaps, shaking an outstretched servo impatiently.
    “Alright, alright, it’s not gonna run away,” Optimus says under his breath, ex-venting heavily as he gets to his pedes and hands over what is now once again a regular-degular handgun.

    Megatron has another nightmare. Optimus fires his gun. These two things are unrelated.

    (Or perhaps not.)
