You know he dies at the end, right? by Polyhexian

Summary
In a world without a war, Tailgate is discovered beneath the Mitteous Plateau by a member of the Anti-Vocationist's League and uses his quick wits and ability to lie on his feet to work undercover as a spy against the government. One day he's offered what he knows will be his final assignment: spying in The Cog on the Functionist Council directly.
In a world without a war, Whirl moves from the Senate's employ to the Functionist Council's, the poster-child for the success of ritual Empurata. Whirl is the bodyguard to Four-of-Twelve, but he's less of a fan of the Council than he lets on.
Together, Whirl and Tailgate smuggle out information that saves countless lives- but they know there's no way they can save their own.

Scarborough Fair by Polyhexian

Summary
The Lost Light gets decommissioned and Whirl is left in the same situation he found himself before the quest began: homeless, jobless, friendless, with no support structure and no desire to acclimate to a post-war Cybertron that doesn't particularly want him there in the first place. Its not much of a surprise when he reacts the same way he did the first time.
Brainstorm has had suicidal friends before and he's kind of miffed that he's the only one who seems to notice the obvious, but apparently no one else is planning on stepping up to the plate, so the job of doing something about it falls to him yet again.

A bit of kindness goes a long way. Anger may be insulating, but it's hard to stay angry when someone finally makes the effort to do something genuinely nice for you.
In which Rung decides Whirl has earned a polish and has no idea that it could trigger anything more than a few jabs at his handiwork.

Summary
It was Drift.
His hands stopped where they were in the air, inches from cupping the mech’s face. He intended to tilt his head to the side, so he could get a better look at what looks like a busted audial, but now he almost feels like he can’t. Like this is all a fabrication, and the slightest touch would make it disappear.
It can’t be Drift. It just can’t be.
Drift was dead.

Summary
" “You're too nice to me, doc.”
“I think you ought to be kinder to yourself, honestly.” Rung's brow furrowed with concentration as he screwed in another panel of the ship. They lapsed into silence again, he felt more at ease than he had in longer than he could remember. Whirl's EM field, however, still shimmered with touches of anxiety.
“We haven't really talked about it, y'know?” Whirl said. “But it changed stuff, didn't it?”
He didn't have to say what "it" was. They both knew.
“It did,” Rung agreed, hesitated. “If I had to live with the coding again, I would not pick anyone else to be my master. You were very good to me.” "
Rung's slavecoding is dormant once more, but he and Whirl remain shaken by their ordeal. They resolve to make the most of the present, but there are still plenty of monsters from Rung's past waiting to catch up with him...

Summary
" “Hey, doc, you okay?”
'Answer when asked a direct question,' the Functionists had said. 'Tell me you're okay,' Whirl had ordered. It'd been millions of years, but this sensation—this pull, this need to obey, to serve—wasn't one he could forget.
“I'm fine,” he lied. An involuntary flush of pride at obeying drove back the horror—but only for a moment."
Rung's helm gets reassembled after the hostage situation, but everything is not as it should be.

Summary
He sinks into Starscream’s hold with a gasp, neck bared as he leans his forehead against the cool metal of the wall. “I don’t want a saint, Starscream,” Bumblebee manages to say at last, panting against the wall with an uncomfortable warmth spreading through his chest, “And I don’t want you trying to be something you’re not.”
Or: Kink negotiation is a lot like diplomatic negotiation, in the end.
(Although this is technically a sequel, it isn’t necessary to read the first one!)

Summary
Benson walks slowly, like he’s not about to drag Randy into the worst day of his life, like he’s not about to set off a chain of events which will lead to Benson lying still and bloody in a dirty parking lot.
Randy wants to vomit. It feels so real.

Summary
They stay that way for a long time, Catra’s face tucked into Adora’s shoulder, Adora gently cradling Catra’s head. Adora is careful not to hug Catra too hard or make her feel restrained, anticipating the moment that Catra will start to pull away — but Catra doesn’t. She hangs on so tightly it hurts, her claws digging through Adora’s jacket and into her back, latching into her like she did when she was a kitten and didn’t know how much her claws could hurt. Adora tries not to wince, tries not to move a single muscle, worried that if she does the spell will break and Catra will struggle away, appalled at having shown weakness.
But Catra doesn’t let go. And so neither does Adora.

Summary
quo fata ferunt: where the fates bear us to.
Optimus and Megatron have stood divided by ideologies, a war, and a lifetime of mutual destruction. Then the war was over and the Cause died, leaving four million years of memories between them. It had to be resolved, for the greater good of Cybertron. At least no one would tell them how they had to resolve it.
(In which tension is resolved, unspoken things are said, and bonds are forged.)
