Fandom Snowflake Challenge 2021 - Day 6

[hoursgoneby]

Challenge #6

In your own space, rec at least three fanworks that you didn’t create. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

*cracks knuckles* It's that time again! Let's take a look at the past year's bookmarks (and subscriptions because I'm actually terrible at bookmarking ongoing fics and just rely on my notification emails.)

Etched on Every Wall by Pteropoda (SilentP)

Before he became Wheeljack, R2071 knew who he was going to be. It was who he was sparked to be, after all: Assistant to Shockswitch, one of Iacon University's most prominent engineers. It was who Shockswitch had been training him to be from the moment he had come online, and it would make Shockswitch happy, if only R2 could learn to do anything right.

Then, before he became Wheeljack, R2071 met Ratchet.

Tell Me Who I Am by seaquestions

"What I mean is," Prowl says, tapping the near-invisible seam going down his bumper, "If you are finding it so hard to believe that I am, in fact, literally sparkless, I can show you the inside of my chest. You will see, with your very own optics, that it is empty. I believe that would be sufficient evidence."

Enemies with Benefits by A_Writer_of_Whimsy
Mikaela Banes broke up with Sam, and a certain police cruising Decepticon wants to show her a new world of possibilities. (NSFW)

The Celebration by silberstreif
He is Consort to the Lord of Praxus, a position of power and prestige... still, he's unhappy. His icy Lordship shows no interest in him at all and by now Jazz is wondering if Lord Prowl even wants to someday bond with him, or if he's just an excuse to placate the public. The invitation to the celebration of a bonding leads to the chance he has waited for - two orns with his oath-sworn. But is there really hope?

Fallout by badgerwitch

In the course of the end of the Great War for Earth, humanity lost. The Autobots lost. The Decepticons lost. Galvatron's master weapons, the drones, destroyed any hope of a future for either faction, and as Earth's time grows shorter, so do the lives of those trapped on its surface.
Eleven Decepticons, Autobots and humans put aside their differences to survive. They succeeded and grew as a team. They made a choice, however, ten years later, to survive. What happens afterwards changes everything they knew as reality and about themselves.

Galvatron was not alone in his descent into madness and devastation. Questions that waited fifty years to be answered are finally coming to light. Whether or not tragedy can be averted this time around is all too unclear...

True Colors by ladydragon76

After crashing on an alien planet, Bluestreak and Dragstrip need to work together to get back to Earth.

Honorable Hostage by ladydragon76
The war is over, and in a bid to keep it over, the ancient tradition of trading hostages is proposed and enacted. (NSFW)

Crime in Crystals by Aard_Rinn, BaeBeyzaThis is a bookmark for an entire series, so this summary is mine: corrupt Praxus, clean-cop Prowl and assassin Jazz, along with plenty of political intrigue.

Winner Takes All by Rizobact
The Festival of the Five has come around again on Cybertron - it's time for the Challenge of Adaptus and Lockdown is determined to be the Champion and claim Prowl as his mate, regardless of Prowl's feelings on the matter. When Jazz finds out what the bounty hunter has planned he enters the race to stop him, and maybe win the chance to confess his own feelings to his long-time friend.

Long Patrol by WandersUnderStarlight
As if having to change his plans for the winter wasn't bad enough, now Jazz's transport crashed and he's stuck in the middle of a crystal forest in Primus-knows-where. He's lucky that he was rescued before he froze to deactivation. Unfortunately, the mech that did the rescuing is half-feral and rather unwilling to let him leave.

“Oh no,” Jazz said. Prowl froze. Those were never particularly positive words to hear, but in the case that they were coming from one of the most intelligent, conniving and altogether contrary mecha in the entire Autobot Command, they were particularly alarming.

“Ah,” Optimus said. “Prowl. Why do you have a clone?”

“You know I have not commissioned any such technology, sir,” Prowl said, stifling a faint sigh. “This is Newspark. They are still in the first stage of differentiation and as such their nanites are rapidly changing to reflect the colors around them until they decide on a permanent configuration.”

“Aw, a little chameleon!” Hound chimed in, a disproportionate amount of excitement in his voice. Although, perhaps, it wasn’t disproportionate. This was the first newspark to emerge since their arrival on Earth.

“No,” Prowl said. “A little Cybertronian.”

House Divided by spaceliquid

It all started with the Jettwins.

When their Decepticon coding begins to grow more active, Optimus Prime has to seek help from the last person he wants to see: the captive Decepticon leader. Megatron names the price for his cooperation, and it is nothing like Optimus expected.

However, when an old enemy rears its head, the terms of that mutually beneficial bargain might alter significantly. (NSFW)

Temptress by Spoon888

Shockwave is woefully inexperienced when it comes to matters of the spark and in desperation, turns to Starscream for help in attracting the attention of a particularly aloof communications officer.

Unbeknownst to them, Megatron has noticed their newfound partnership, and mistakes it for something more. Much more.

The Little Things by DragonSteel

When you rarely see your love it's the few moments you steal away that matter the most. (NSFW)

I'm All Full Up on Yesterdays, Don't Sing Me No More Blues by DesdemonaKaylose

Jazz turned in his seat, cube at his lips, just in time to spot the white pursuit vehicle steaming and panting in the doorway. “Jazz of Staniz,” the enforcer shouted, “surrender the matrix and come quietly!”

Jazz knocked back his drink. “Well!” he said to the open-mouthed bartender, “time to split!”

A Night In by eerian_sadow
Mirage has just returned from a stressful mission. Wheeljack makes some on the fly plans to help him feel better.

Let's Call the Whole Thing Off by TeapotTempest
A mysterious condition spreads among the Autobots and Decepticons, prompting the strangest truce in the history of the eons-long war.

Ethereal by Cheshire_HeartsProwl comes out of a surgery and is still high off of whatever Ratchet gave him. He thinks Jazz is too pretty to be a real mech and won’t believe a word Jazz is saying about them dating.

Mind, Body, and Soul by pipermca

Bluestreak had his life planned out for himself: get his specialization, find a good job, meet two mechs to trine with, get bonded together, and maybe apply for a sparkling from Vector Sigma. He had it all figured out.

Then he met Barricade.

Here are the links for this challenge from previous years. 2014-17 all go to LJ because it looks like all the tags may not have copied over to DW properly:
