Summary
Grace doesn't really let it sink in what it means that he's not going back to Earth, and when it does, he has a little freak out about it. Thank god Rocky's there to help him :)
--------------------------------------------------------
It hits me then that this will be the rest of my life.
Not the Hail Mary—though I do doubt Rocky and Erid will actually be able to build me a home on their planet—no. But this. The food. Eating alone. Stuck behind a barrier from the first person who actually ever understood me whom I'll never get to touch.
He's a person, sure, and his company is keeping me from going crazy but it's not the same. He's not human.
I'm never going to see a single human ever again.

Summary
Megatron begins to learn Chirolinguistics after an interaction with Deadlock. He does so to connect himself more with his troops, to ground himself in his cause, to remind him of what he's fighting for. At least, it starts that way. As the war wages, as the years pass, he loses sight of everything, and everyone, until he's no longer the mech he once had been.
Or; Deadlock and Megatron's friendship throughout the years, and the other Friendships Megatron has... and slowly degrades.

He lets out another happy vent, wiggling with the joy that floods him.
Ratchet laughs, a soft quiet little sound, "Feeling good?"
"Very good," Drift murmurs, letting the purr of his engine rise up between them in a low, smooth, rumble.

Summary
“Sometimes,” Optimus says, an admission that feels like a failing, “I realize I do not know you at all.”
“By design,” Megatron answers. “It matters little. I know you, and that has been enough.”
Nothing about their conversations read like that is true. Megatron thinks so little of him, thinks him still that opportunistic bot who had big dreams and no real plans. Optimus has not been Orion in so long, and Megatron has only seen him as an adversary.
“No,” Optimus denies, finding himself insulted, almost. “You don’t know me, not as I am now. You do not know what you made me have to be.”
He doesn’t grant Megatron the courtesy of a response before he leaves.
-----------
In the wake of the Cybertronian Civil War ending, Optimus finds himself struggling to rebuild a planet ravaged by war. Megatron remains imprisoned awaiting trail as the world continues on without him. Lost, stressed, and uncertain, Optimus seeks refuge in conversation with his once enemy.

Megatron finds new words. Minimus finds new actions. They both try their best to be small.

Summary
“Wait, pause, pause, pause. You’re saying you and Megatron are stuck. In an elevator going to the bridge.”
“Yes, we are. Elevator A3.”
“You and Megatron?”
“Correct.”
“And no one else?”
“No one else.”
“Both of you. Completely stuck?”
“Yes, we- You keep asking that.”
“Nevermind that, just- You guys sit real tight, alright? I’ll call you back in a minute.”
[...]
“We should not have called Rodimus.”
Or: getting stuck in an elevator, featuring Minimus' many layers of armor, Megatron's unending contingency plans, and Rodimus unintentonally cementing his own tragic fate.

Summary
Reaching up, D-16 knocks his knuckles across Orion’s helm. Gently, of course. The stupid bot was damaged enough.
“Go to sleep, Pax.”
“But you have to listen to this! There’s this whole section–”
D-16 sighs. Goes to lean against a slab that wasn’t his own. His spark spins, painful. Daresay calls it something like fond.
or; before Megatron learned to hate, he learned to love, and it hurt more than any hate ever could.

Not long after the Decepticons defect from the Autobots' mission of gathering the Emberstone shards, Soundwave's cassette-build program activates. All well and good, but when Starscream gets on Soundwave's nerves and the program is nearly interrupted, Soundwave decides that he's earn the opportunity to mess with him a little bit.

Summary
This is a lexicon I compiled, with 300+ terms, their alternative forms, their definitions, their alternative definitions, and relative frequencies.
It aims to define fanonical consensus, and was created to serve as a reference guide for transformers jargon to authors and readers alike. I hope it is of use.
