    Summary

    What begins as a whispered joke inside the Decepticon ranks—unauthorized photographs of Starscream traded for energon—rapidly mutates into a full-blown underground market. No one expects Soundwave to trace it back to its origin. No one expects Megatron to prepare punishment.

    And no one, especially Megatron, expects Shockwave to step in.

    Declaring the scheme profitable, Shockwave reframes exploitation as economics, with Thundercracker and Skywarp conveniently rebranded as “solution providers” for the Decepticons’ chronic lack of funds. A controlled operation. A harmless commodity. Just images.

    Until a client wants exclusivity.

    Until “photos” are no longer enough.

    Trapped between command, science, greed, and desire, Starscream finds himself reduced to a product that he does not even know about it—one that everyone wants to own, control, or dissect. And when Shockwave’s business spirals out of control, the real question becomes:

    How much of Starscream was ever his to begin with?

    Summary

    Starscream: Proud, arrogant, and spiteful. But that's just his shell, just the outside he shows to the world. Inside, he has no sense of self-esteem, no value in his own optics... and Megatron knows that, and uses it.

    Will a mission to undermine the Autobots end with Starscream deeper in the pit he dug for himself?

    The Matrix doesn't hold answers, but it helps in other ways.

    Summary

    Optimus would never let a mech suffer in captivity, Decepticon or not. Blitzwing is not an exception, no matter how confused that sentiment makes him.

    Optimus is very much grateful for his morals forbidding him from mistreating prisoners of war when he himself is later captured by the Decepticons.

    -------

    Blitzwing's stint in Autobot captivity opens optics on all sides, and something new blooms.
    It is fragile yet precious, and the three soon find that they wouldn't change it for the world.
