Summary

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
Shockwave reaches out to place a servo on top of Bumblebee’s helm, the gesture unfamiliar to him, but familiar to Longarm. “I’d believe in you even if everyone else didn’t, Bumblebee.” He leans down slightly, voice lowered as if he was exchanging some deep secret to the smaller mech. “No one else sees it, but out of everyone here, I’d depend on you the most.”
Leading up to the Decepticons' defeat, Shockwave finds himself saddled with a rather illogical obsession.Pretending to be an Autobot was bound to have some consequences.

Summary
And then, it was eye-contact. Hank could always tell what kind of personality a person had just by glancing at the way their eyes looked at him. Fear, nervousness, pride, intimidation—
But that look in the stranger’s eyes, it was practically a blank slate. Unreadable.
It was unthinkable, and almost impossible to think that someone from the AAHW could dissent, because what was a clone if they were not loyal to a fault? A dog without its leash, a dog that could not bite when it was asked to do so, a dog that could not be trained on hatred. Useless, they were.D03 is an Engineer, and he did not hate Hank J. Wimbleton.

Summary
“Promise?” The boy says, his voice quiet and husky, as if he had spoken for the very first time in his life. If the room hadn’t been so silent, Phobos wouldn’t have heard him. It was the first thing the child decided to say to him, a reassurance of comfort.
“I promise.” Phobos answers, his hand stretching out towards the child once more, and this time, even with slight hesitance, the younger takes the lord’s hand.
Phobos is a young lord seeking redemption in a land ravaged by death and flames, and while investigating numerous mysterious deaths within a cultic encampment...He meets a child.

They knew what this place would do to him.
When the patient is thrusted from his successful life and forced into a mental institution, he struggles to find permanent solace between his waning mind and the painful hands of the head Doctor.Series

Summary
“Hey there, rookie!” He greets, leaning over the counter and thoughtlessly dropping the forgotten newspaper to the ground. “They finally got someone to take over this damn dump, eh?” The man chuckles, and the agent stays quiet to assess him further.
Again, a disgusted — almost angry feeling wells up at the core of the agent’s stomach at being called rookie. He didn’t spend his days with utmost professionalism and complete accuracy within his missions to be called lesser than what he deserved.
But no, the agent steeled himself. Eventually, these people were going to realize just how much they’d underestimated him when he pulls the rug from beneath their feet and spilled all of their little secrets to his agency. They’d all gape at him, wondering how they could have been so blind to miss his deception, unable to even grasp their sheer incompetence.
The Undercover Agent is sent on a mission to unravel the secrets of Status Quo. To his displeasure, he finds that each member of the organization always talks about the same enigmatic leader—Doc. Always that name.

Summary
They taught that his sacrifice was joy, that true happiness only comes when it is his time to offer himself as tribute. He had been elated, because of course he was. No other moment was worth his time other than his eventual and unstoppable expiration.
When the day came, the elders said nothing of potential rejection. They said nothing of the pain of it would cause, and the slow creeping realization that perhaps true happiness was not meant for him. For the years he had devoted himself, his thoughts, and his actions...
The Higher Powers could not even give him the grace of accepting his tribute.
The Offering is left confused, abandoned, and covered in blood. 2BDamned finds him.Series

Summary
The hand on his cheek did not move, no further movement of comfort and Hank knew why. Everything besides what they were doing now would be too much for the both of them. A line would be crossed, one that was so carefully tended to and respected until now. Beyond this would be something else.
It wouldn’t be Doc helping Hank go through a dangerous habit to make both of their lives easier. It would be something personal, past what they were supposed to be.
Hank has built up the habit of attacking anything and anyone whenever he's in a situation where he has no control in, and when Doc is the only one that can really help him try and overcome that habit. It awakens some rather ignored feelings between them. -

Summary
“I am thinking that this is not a normal visit.” Wukong says, his eyes catching the twitch in Sanzang’s fingers against his cup. “Do you wish to say something to me, master?”
It was just then, that the Monkey King who could see a thousand li in front of him if he so desired and who could catch the flicker of a butterfly’s wings leagues away from him, could not even decipher the expression his master suddenly held.
Wukong answers a call to visit his old master. -

Then Doc speaks, and Hank could practically hear the smile in his voice. “Of course you did.”He says. “Like the good boy that you are.”
Doc has a certain way with words. Hank always finds himself in the receiving end of it. -

Summary
Phobos puts a hand to his chin and hums "Well, I guess you do need a name..." he thinks for awhile before straightening up "How about I call you Deimos? Seems rather fitting, yes?" He leans forward, and his grin is evident from the way the bandages shift around his cheeks.

Summary
rewritten version of this fic is now available!: https://archiveofourown.org/works/58941529/chapters/150248011
"It's nostalgic." Hank says suddenly, his voice is coarse and deep, like he hasn't used it in years. The words surprise Doc for a moment, Hank didn't usually start conversations.
"What is?" Doc replies, carefully pulling out a bullet lodged deep into Hank's flesh.
"You, doing this for me, it's like that time."
Doc looks up, not understanding what "time" Hank is referring to specifically, as soon as Doc's mouth opens to question Hank further, he realizes what Hank meant.
"Oh, that."
