    Summary

    Left reeling in the aftermath of not receiving a single vote in The Favorite Character Awards™, Caine experiences art block for the very first time.

    Safe to say, nobody’s favorite ringmaster is extremely NORMAL and well-adjusted in the brain about this!

    Summary

    It’s been a few days since The Favorite Character Awards.

    Pomni has been through a number of bizarre things during her time in the circus. Candy truck chases, angel head horrors, minimum wage labor, athletic events, gun-filled battle royales. But none of these come close to what she witnesses on a seemingly innocent day full of beach-filled fun: Caine attempting to take his own life.

    After managing to stop him, Pomni takes it upon herself (and is borderline forced to by Bubble) to help keep Caine’s mental state intact by engaging in improvised therapy sessions with him. After all, if Caine died, what would happen to the circus? And to the humans that lived within it? This was her only concern at first. But as Caine opens up to her more through these sessions, she realizes just how much the AI is hurting and how long he has been harboring these negative emotions.

    Turns out Caine needs more help than she thought.

    He's just as trapped in this game as they are. And worse.

    Summary

    In Starscream’s honest (and very humble) opinion, this was one of the worst days of his life.

    And that’s against some very steep competition, you know! Millennia upon millennia of having the worst luck known to Cybertron and beyond really lends itself to a never-ending stream of horrible events that all culminate into an ever-present world-weariness and severe paranoia, all channeled into one (unfortunately small) seeker.

    Today in particular, though, seemed to deviate from his usual pattern of bad luck, in the form of an irate Autobot.

    Another tfp Starscream redemption fic, what more could you want? I don't take myself too seriously, so neither should you.

    This is my first fic ever, so formatting advice, critique, and funny insults are encouraged.

    (Title from The Fall by half•alive, which is a song I believe describes Starscream and any potential redemption of his quite well)

    Summary

    It was one cabin. Full of fleshlings he didn’t care about. The femme was pulled away by her helm, kicking and screaming—

    Megatron pulled Starscream away by his helm, kicking and screaming

    It was one cabin. Smeared in blood. The femme cowered, her two sparklings nestled behind her. Starscream lifted his talon. Impaled upon it was the body of Megatron the offending mech.

    AKA

    Starscream: the (accidental) patron god of the abused.

    Summary

    Starscream has been found in critical condition after a fight with Megatron. It will be a very long road to recovery.

    How will he change under the Autobots care? How will the Autobots change with one of their worst enemies stuck in their medbay? How will the Deceptions manage without their Second in Command?

    Change is inevitable. Whether positive or negative, only time will tell.

    12/Sep/25 small update! I'm editing past chapters to fix my usage of "Raph" instead of Raf (sorry) and fix some terminology mistakes (fixing head to be helm and whatnot where I've made mistakes) Currently up to chapter 19

    Also, I've cemented a head cannon (first mentioned in the end notes of chapter 23) that Starscream uses Cybertronian time measurements, so I've made some small edits here and there to keep things consistent! Time keys can be found on multiple chapters from before I started implementing this as a part of the story, but I've added one to chapter 3!

    As this is my first fic, I have tried my best not to outright re-write things as I like seeing how far I've come :)
