Summary
On a Cybertron of 13 Primes, the newest is Optimus Prime, the Prime of Knowledge. But with Sentinel Prime (holding the Matrix of Power) missing, the various Primes have become overzealous and disjointed in the ruling of the Cybertronian populace. On a quest to document this and reform the Primacy, Optimus stumbles upon a mech that seems pretty hellbent on untangling the Primal system and giving control of Cybertron to the masses.

Summary
When they pull him from the Void of space, they assume he's nothing more than space junk. Much to Megatron's dismay, his crew has Brought aboard an enemy on board in the form of a tiny Prime.
A feral tiny Prime.
Great. Just what he needed. A distraction while planning the biggest coup in Cybertronian history.
Takes place Before Megatron over throws Megazarak in the lull between the Decepticons getting thrown off Cybertron and the war restarting.
Also Sentinel Prime also got demoted in this AU. He is very much not a fan of construction work.

Summary
Reaching up, D-16 knocks his knuckles across Orion’s helm. Gently, of course. The stupid bot was damaged enough.
“Go to sleep, Pax.”
“But you have to listen to this! There’s this whole section–”
D-16 sighs. Goes to lean against a slab that wasn’t his own. His spark spins, painful. Daresay calls it something like fond.
or; before Megatron learned to hate, he learned to love, and it hurt more than any hate ever could.

Summary
“You aren’t here. You can’t be. You’re only in here.” Megatron taps a claw against his helm. “Nothing but a memory, come to haunt me at the end of all things.”
Optimus’ eyebrows draw together before he sighs, a fond smile on his face. “You always had a flare for the dramatic.”
Megatron huffs again, and lies back down. “Even as a ghost, you’re a pain in the aft.”

Summary
“You’re dead. Are you an idiot? Go back to being dead.”
“Huh,” Optimus Prime – who is very much not dead – looks at Megatron like he’s the one being unreasonable. As if Megatron is the one who’s supposed to be dead and who's supposed to stay dead instead of haunting him like some…like a–
“Ghost,” Not Dead Prime says. “I think I’m a ghost.”
.
.
or: Optimus Prime played hero too hard and died saving Cybertron, trusting Megatron to pick up the pieces of their struggling people and lead them all into the future. Megatron thinks it'd be Pits of a lot easier without said Idiot Prime walking through his walls and knocking shit off his desk and asking, "hey, being dead is boring, mind saving the world and bringing me back to life?"- Language:

Summary
Optimus Prime is young. Too young. By Cybertronian standards, he is barely an adult. He is far too young and the world asks so much of him.
“You have to lead us,” they say. “Primus chose you.”
I don't know how to lead, he wants to say. I barely even know how to mine.
Or: Optimus struggles with leading his people to war, and his new position as Prime. (It's all okay in the end.)

Summary
When The Champion of the Arena shows up to challenge Sentinel Prime to a deadly test of honour, enforcer Orion Pax volunteers in his stead.
What follows is a deal with the devil, an invitation from an enigmatic stranger, and probably the weirdest honey trap of all time. Orion's going to be lucky if he still has his honour and essential organs intact by the time he gets to the arena.

Stories within stories, the lessons of history and myth, the message of honor and willing to stand up for what is right. The maybe- futility of it- but better to have it than not have it and it all be the same.

Summary
A Prime is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to… give or take that one small paracausal nudge.
Or, that time the Matrix got impatient and stole a truck...
It's only going to get more and more hazardous to binge all of this:
✔️ Optimus Prime being iconically wholesome
✔️ Cybertron being an exotic mechanical wonderland
✔️ Mystery, adventure, and intrigue
✔️ Not so much a slow burn as a long fuse

“If we lay low, no one will notice us,” Dick started, more for his own benefit than Jason’s. “As soon as airspace opens back up over Gotham, we hightail it out of here.”
Jason grunted. “And if they do notice us?”
Dick didn’t need to respond. They both knew the answer to that question.

Summary
With the conquering might of the Mandalorian army on her doorstep and no other options, Padmé makes a reckless, bloody choice and resurrects an ancient Mand'alor to help save her world.
The bargain is simple: if Mand'alor the Indomitable can last a year and a day wedded to a monster, Naboo goes free, and his debt to Padmé is erased. But Jaster Mereel isn't anything close to the monster that Atin expected, and the mystery of why he's kept locked up in a lonely house on an uninhabited moon is one Atin might not be able to stay away from if he wants to survive the full year.
