    Summary

    "You hadn’t necessarily expected your bots to be buddy-buddy with their enemy faction’s Air Commander off the get-go, but-- then again, you wouldn’t have expected to be saddled with a very injured and heavily depressed Starscream sitting in your lot either.

    And you hate to admit it, but you feel bad for the guy."

    ----

    Starscream's days as a rogue Decepticon have come to a startling halt after a close-call encounter with Megatron, leaving him in bad shape and unable to go it solo anymore. However, his unwillingness to work alongside others and constant flipping back and forth from allegiances has left him with little options on who to turn to.

    It's a good thing that you badgered your way into his peripheral to light his way, taking him in.

    Not everyone is happy about it though.

    Summary

    You needed an escape. Life had taken a turn, and you were stuck. No way forward, no way back, everything crumpling around you like a house of paper.

    Then your Uncle Fowler offered you a job that came in answer to your prayers, because it offered shelter, food, and income. The only catch?

    You might just die trying to live.

    Because Ratchet needed a medical assistant, and the Autobots needed someone who it didn't matter if their mind got read by the ominous prisoner held so carefully confined in a secured cell.

    So, that's how you met Soundwave. Big scary bad guy all locked up and rusting away, but that's not how things stay between you.

    --

    Another wandering tale. Whimsical. Less structured and edited than my more serious novels. Yet another tale written for fun and emotional therapy. This tale has a lot more emotional angst and hurt, especially due to the nature of the imprisonment / captor circumstances.

    Summary

    The dungeon's over, and the AI assumes his help rebuilding Earth will bring him and Carl closer. But, to his dismay, Carl still blames him for all the suffering the dungeon caused. It doesn't matter what the AI does, he can't seem to get Carl to see him as anything other than an enemy.
    In desperation he hatches a plan, something he thinks Carl won't be able to ignore. However, like everything else he's tried, it spectacularly backfires. Instead of Carl learning more about who the AI is, the AI learns more about what it means to be human than he ever wanted to know.

    Summary

    As he stared down into the lumpy grey goop that was his evening rations, he contemplated whether it was really worth it.

    They’d come a very long way just for Grace to give up and die at the last hurdle, both physically and emotionally. The Tau Ceti system was a long, long way away now, and Grace had faced not one but two highly emotional suicide missions. Three, if you counted the time before he was given a military grade roofie and hucked into space without his memories.

     

    Rocky and Grace make it back to Erid! Huzzah!
    Now they have to navigate all of... that.

    Summary

    Between Grace's scant first aid and the nanny bot they managed to get the man mostly stable, tucked into Grace's bed and completely dead to the world for the past few days.

    It's the same man currently trying to kill him.
     

    or, the Eridians find a man covered in blood and Grace hasn't been able to care for something in far too long.
