Summary
Jason knew what drugs looked like, knew them like the back of his hand, grew up around them, grew up fighting them for his mom because she wasn't able to and dad wasn't around to fight for either of them.
He just never thought he'd have to fight for Dick too
or: Dick takes pills for his psychosis, a freshly adopted Jason Todd greatly misunderstands

Summary
There exists mecha who were Forged from the All Spark with something more to them; abilities that modern science cannot explain. Outliers. They were ostracized and outcasted for the crime of being strange- not being the perfect cog for the great machine.
And that idea has persisted 'til this day.
Ratchet has one such ability- an ability that can change the tides of the war.
But at what cost?
---
When the Decepticons discover an outlier- who surely should've been on their side, what to do except make him theirs?

Summary
The High Lords have proved time and time again that they are physically unable to die. Assassinations, accidents, illness, challenge, disaster; none of it ever mattered. They were as constant and overbearing as time, they loomed over the planet, over every being like a storm looms over the horizon. Impending and inevitable.
The High Lords have been present in the lives of even the oldest bots Megatronus knew.

“Truly, I don’t know what I’d do without you, dear Orion… you go through much strife to keep us alive. Your service will forever be appreciated. And I know you will keep serving us faithfully, as all children of Primus must do. Have faith, my coveted.”
“May Primus light your way.”
Orion shuddered and retched. The door slammed shut.
Orion wondered how Primus would light his way if he no longer knew light.
-
When rumor is spread of the location of an item that grants the High Lords their immortality, revolutionary upstart, Megatronus, takes it upon himself to locate the item. Megatronus travels across a barren Cybertron, but what he finds is not an item. He finds an energon-soaked mech.

Summary
Being alone was worse than missing food. Tommy’s memories are clouded, but he remembers suffering through malnutrition many times. He knew he once held his bones through his skin and could feel the flesh of his cheeks deflate and sag.
He didn’t like remembering how he was atrophied and uncared for, but it let him know that he could handle punishment. Someone from his past had punished him the same way before he remembered. Though, he wasn’t entirely sure who did it. He frowned. They couldn’t have been good because they left, and Jack and Niki didn’t. That made them his friends. Right?
Right?
“Tommy?”
They were his friends, right?
“Tommy…?”
They have to be. They have to be his friends, right?
“Tommy!”
His head whipped to the side. His cheek burned.
Tommy would accept love from anybody, even from his abusers, even from his murderers. Dream knows this and takes advantage while no one can stop him. Can Tommy relearn to be human and reconcile with those who hurt him?
Or: Dream's an asshole, Tommy is traumatized and blind, and Wilbur, Jack, and Niki try their best.

Summary
Ranboo is cursed for life to be forever cold, bringing winter wherever he goes and ice where he touches. And most of all, he'll always be alone. He only has the ghost who cursed him to keep him company, or rather, remind him he's worthless.
Worthless, dangerous, CURSED.
I guess Tubbo's just built different.

Summary
“— “Tommy?” It took longer for him to recognize the soft voice.
“… N’ki?” He croaked, throat unexpectedly dry.
“Wha… wha ‘appen’d?” He felt Niki’s warmth next to him, she took a deep breath.
“We were looking for you and… and we found you barely conscious, bleeding from an arrow wound grazing your rib cage…”
“You… left,”
“… I did,” Niki forced out.
“But you came back,” Tommy weakly smiled. Niki has to hold in a sob— why? Why did he hold such kind eyes? Why must he smile for her?
“Don’t… cry,” he reached out blindly, Niki took his hand.
“Why?” She whispered.—“
——
Tommy is a broken child who’ll blindly accept any love, even from the people who kidnapped him and tried to murder him. (Literally)

Summary
“…Tommy; that was his name when he was taking care of the kids, it helped the kids as well as him. With a human name, he could pretend to be one better. But he knew what he was; nothing, worthless, a tool (Monster). He was a failed experiment; unable to be the role model the Regiment- the Evangelist- wanted him to be.

Ranboo was terminated not even a week after he awoke.
Tommy could still remember the thick smell of ozone and burning metal as Ranboo was shoved into the Pit. He looked terrified, he begged to not die; he told them he could still be useful. To Perdition he was falling.
Tommy had watched wide-eyed, quivering beside the Predicant. A hand rested on his shoulder and whispered words blackened the world.
“The Savior welcomes you.”
Tommy had woken up later that day; kneeling in front of the altar, and clasped in his hands; a locket. He didn’t remember anything that happened between the words and waking up. He was still worried now that he was becoming like Ranboo; corrupted, led astray from his Savior. …”

Or: Tommy is a run away experiment from a lab. This is his story.

Obscure Sorrows by DaylessPax

Summary
The cold whipped at him, bit at his skin until it was numb.
He’s never liked the cold, it reminded him too much of the aching loneliness that still ate at his stomach; still clawed at his bruised heart. But he could do nothing about it, as usual. Nothing. That’s all he could ever do, wasn’t it?
That wasn’t true. He served his purpose with Dream. He did something. He was Dream’s. Dream’s protege, Dream’s guard, Dream’s helper. Dream’s friend, Dream’s weapon, Dream’s tool.
He tsked at himself, he thought he got rid of those thoughts a long time ago. But old habits die hard, he supposed.

Tommy is the prince of Esehmpei, rescued by Dream when he got exiled from his home. He knows this for a fact. So why does he keep remembering things that never happened?
