Weep (for a paradise lost) by Land_Locked_Martian
Fandoms: Transformers - All Media Types, The Transformers (IDW Generation One)
27 Oct 2025
Tags
Summary
It began on one of those days when both suns shine and all of Cybertron gleams with the unmarred shine of rebirth. Or rather, it began after one of those peculiarly novel days, long after both suns had set, and no metal gleamed with anything other than the warm light of streetlamps and bedroom windows. Within one of these windows, upon his two-mech berth with its exorbitantly thick padding and new-age recharging capabilities, sat Optimus Prime. Optimus Prime was of that same gleam-capable metal which adorned his planet now, armor unmarred by war and plating remade in peace, and the bedroom light dutifully shone off of him in a spectacular show of cozy resplendence. Also shining were the tears that filmed the inside of his digits.
A mystery with a loose narration style, a bit comical, featuring some of the Lost Light crew after the series ends

Summary
Imagine a highly specialized frame, streamlined to the smallest component. Balanced down to the most insignificant bolt, manufactured only from the purest alloys. Now mass produce seventeen thousand of them each vorn to maintain undisputed aerial supremacy over Praxus, forcing the latter to halt its production of flight frames altogether, because they could simply not keep up with the competition.
These are the seekers, the elite guard patrolling Cybertron’s skies. Vos’ pride and joy.
And they are not allowed to be anything but perfect.
Those that fail to live up to perfection are disposable.
And disposable seekers have only one place to go: the Sky Ballet.Or: Cybertron's society is built on pain and suffering from the lowest bloodsport to the pinnacle of performing arts. It takes Optimus too long to realize that this is by design.

Crossed Sparks by Angry_gremlin_commando

Summary
Having ended their civil war with a bang and a very belated peace treaty in their own universe, Optimus and Megatron find themselves in the TF:One timeline, before everything went wrong. Not wishing the same war on their young counterparts, they try their best to steer them towards a better path, before it's too late. It doesn't exactly go well. There might be a body count.
World building heavy story where D-16 gets a mentor figure, writes a poem, chases after Orion to save him from himself (and from the Plot), has the worst month of his life and uncovers some of the Horrors hidden in Cybertron's history, not necessarily in that order.
[I was just wondering… do you think there is a world out there where we don’t hurt each other? Even when we don’t mean to?]
[We have ever honed and shaped ourselves along the sharpest edges of each other. It took us eight million years to wear those edges down into something that fit along the seams. It is how we are. If there is a world where that doesn’t hurt, I can’t imagine it.]Series

Embassy Row 2: Escape To Waleria by Land_Locked_Martian for ConCentric
Fandoms: Transformers (IDW 2019), Transformers - All Media Types
25 Aug 2025
Tags
Summary
A sequel that makes very little sense without the first part. An escape from an embassy, some poorly planned plots, some poorly plotted plans (a different concept entirely). A Cybertron with a desperate need for energon and a desperate wish to keep dangerous green energon out of the hands of their enemies. A trio bonding and fighting - and fighting over bonding. Come for the plot and stay for the plot, because this baby is getting exciting.

Summary
In the bright lights of a party in honor of a prevailing peace treaty, all is consumed by noise and cheap high-grade. In a short-lived journey to replenish a pair of drinks, caught amidst a set of familiar faces, one can’t help but wonder.
How much poison does it take to kill a faction leader?
Well, it depends on which one.

Summary
When an army far outnumbering the Decepticons prepares to attack their city, Megatron and Starscream must work together to mount a defense. But time is running out, there's a spy within their walls, and they still don't really trust each other. Under crushing pressure, the alliance between the Decepticon leader and his second-in-command proves only too fragile, and if they can't put their differences aside, the fallout will destroy everything they have worked so hard to build. Set shortly after the events of "Darkmount Dreaming".

i'll kill you, that'll shut you up by piedmoth
Fandoms: Transformers One (2024), Transformers - All Media Types

Tags
Summary
It's been a while. A long while. To Megatron, at least, who still walks without looking at his reflection.
It's different, this frame. It barely feels his. He still takes up more space than he's used to. And sometimes he goes to rub at his plating, only to remember he's equipped with an entire cannon. It's momentarily horrifying. There's a difference between being able to defend yourself and being built for war.
He's scared. He's scared, and he hates it.

For the War After by Land_Locked_Martian for ConCentric
Fandoms: Transformers - All Media Types, Transformers One (2024)

Summary
There are servos on Megatron’s plating. Elita One’s hands, and Ironhide’s, and Bumblebee’s and Prowl’s, all of them required to remove him from the one place he needs to be – on top of Optimus Prime, beating the ever-loving scrap out of him, and replacing it with sense and loyalty.
“Can you not think?” He hisses. “Do you not understand that no other mech can come rising back to life with a Matrix in his chest? Are you incapable of understanding the actual consequences of death?”
“We are at war," Optimus spits. When he speaks, the energon running from his nose to his lips is flung in spittles. "People take risks.”
“You take risks.” Megatron grabs Optimus’s forehead and shoves him back into the floor. “You take risks for them. With them."

Summary
How the film could have ended. After Megatron is exiled alone, the High Guard track him down far from Iacon, and challenge him to give them good reason to follow him. Too damaged to fight, he must find another way to win their loyalty, and he will use every other weapon at his disposal to do so.
