Summary
He knows he’s killed Orion Pax. He shot him and dropped him down the darkness below their pedes. He watched his best friend get engulfed by Cybertron and had reconciled with that choice in the few seconds their optics had locked together for one last time.
So quickly it had gone undone. Faced with this thing, this version of Orion Pax that was all-together his closest friend and a stranger he’d never seen before.
Deep down in the center of Cybertron, Orion Pax is possessed. -

Summary
The seeker sits there, listening to Megatron cry, trying not to turn the mech into a slender shape, a slender shape with wings set upon his back and a frame that had been older but had felt everything Megatron was feeling. Starscream tries not to remember the memory of him doing the same thing, standing there and stewing in his own tears, repeating those accursed words within his mind.
He tries. He really does.
Starscream sees something in Megatron.Beyond the sparks of anger and the burning vengeance beneath his plates, he sees a seeker standing before a shuttle.

Summary
Now, in this empty space, he stares, servos cradled in smaller ones. Blue optics that hold so much warmth for him and him alone, and Shockwave cannot help but think...
‘Sparkling. My sparkling.’
He doesn’t say it, because in the back of his mind, he knows he doesn’t need to. Thrill fills his spark, compressed so full, so brimming with the sensation that Longarm feels as if he’d die from it—
And he wakes.
It should have been known that depriving a mech's wants and needs could drive them mad.Shockwave slowly realizes that fact when Bumblebee goes absent from his life.

Summary
“Are you sure you’re alright, Bumblebee?”
Optimus looks down at Bumblebee, his face shifting onto concern as he stares at the little yellow bot across from him. Bumblebee feels a heavy servo curl against his shoulder plate, reassuring and familiar. He returns the gaze, trying to ease the Prime with a simple raise of his dermas.
“Yeah, Bossbot.” Bumblebee answers, almost wincing from the sheer insincerity in his voice. “Everything’s good.”
Coming back to Cybertron, Bumblebee is being haunted by a nightmare whenever he tries to recharge.The nightmare is a lot more real than he thinks.

Summary
“You, the Poet of Tarn; me, an archivist.” Optimus lets his head fall into his hand, something breathless and soft ghosting over his lips. “Can you imagine it, Megatron? You and I?”
“What a couple of mechs they must have been,” Megatron says.
“Indeed,” Optimus replies, voice death-soft and just as gentle. “And what an ending they must have had.”
Aboard the Lost Light, Megatron is haunted.

Summary
Soundwave's banishment to the shadowzone has been bleak, uneventful and unending. He hasn't been able to contact Megatron or the Nemesis. He's low on fuel. If it weren't for the emotion-suppressing protocols he implemented before the war, he would be miserable.
And then one day a dimension-hopping Rodimus falls into the shadowzone and offers him a way out.
“You'll like the Lost Light,” said Rodimus. “Everyone gets a second chance, there. You wanna stay here forever?”

Summary
Jazz and Prowl exchange a strange look, something that makes Megatron want to strangle them because he can’t decipher what it is. He pushes back the suspicion that they’ve caught onto his situation; it would be impossible for them to know. There is nothing different about Prime’s frame or processor from when Ratchet had scanned him during his forced berth rest. They cannot know about him.
“If you need an extended leave, don’t refrain from requesting it,” Prowl says after a small pause. “That was quite a blow to the helm you took.”
“A measly blow to the helm won’t deter me in the slightest,” Megatron snaps before he can think better. When he does think better, he reiterates to a wide-eyed Prowl, “that is, my helm is more than capable of taking a hit.”
Jazz laughs at that. It sounds strained.
“Sure,” he agrees, “yeah, sure. Hey, how many digits am I holding up?”

It was actually a quiet night, walking through the ground control room, Ratchet hunched over his research as he always was, ever present but never really there ("He just needs a few more vorns to get over it," Arcee had said, "Grief takes time, and our lifespans give us a lot of that.")

Beautiful fic that explores found family and grief, as well as give more backstory to existing characters. A must read for anyone looking for a more complete ending for tfp or for people who just want that family content <3
