    Summary

    For Sideswipe, finding out he has a brother was one thing. Finding out said brother is his split-spark twin was another. Finding out that said split-spark twin was forged before the War of the Threefold Spark while Sideswipe wasn’t due to stigmas against split-sparks, which left Sideswipe’s spark locked away for megacycles while Sunstreaker fought in a war…? Yeah, Sideswipe has some feelings about that and would like to share them with someone, thanks. Unfortunately, Sunstreaker doesn’t seem interested in getting to know his younger twin brother.

    Or: Sideswipe meets Sunstreaker, the twin he never knew he had but who he should have been with their whole lives. It goes about as well as he expected and worse than he’d secretly hoped.

    Summary

    The war ended with a lucky shot. Megatron and Shockwave were dead, Starscream was missing, and the majority of the Decepticons were captured, or even helping the Autobots rebuild.
    Skywarp escaped.
    And when the Autobots discovered a dark secret about the four seekers in their brig, they came looking for answers.

    Summary

    Prowl’s battle computer calculated every outcome—except this one.

    A mission gone violently off-script leaves him critically damaged under wreckage and stranded deep behind enemy lines. His systems are failing. His team is gone. And someone else is down there with him.

    Survival becomes a negotiation in the ruins of a shattered mission—where every move is calculated, and every silence is loaded.

     

     

    "Two kings. No pawns."

     

     

    In war, even enemies have their uses. And this time, he can't afford to miscalculate.

    Summary

    Starscream wakes up on the battlefield as a sparkling with no memories of how he got there. It's not the Decepticons that take him home, though: it's the Autobots. The feared Deception Second is now a cute, precocious sparkling with no memory of the enemies he's now living with.

    (or, Optimus found a sparkling and adopted him instantly. It's hardly the first time.)
