War Without End by AzarDarkstar and dracoqueen22
In the end, Ratchet isn't sure why this particular horror amongst all the others is the one to make him break. But betrayal is a double-edged sword. And his Prime struck the first blow.
A gorgeous alternate take on the live action films, exploring the effect Bayverse!Optimus Prime's descent into aggression and instability might have on some of his most loyal followers.
New Paradigm by TeapotTempest
One little surprise, one major shift in priorities. Confronted with a bizarre change they can't defeat with firepower or force, Cybertron's warring children must adapt or face potential extinction.
An absolutely wonderful, funny, and touching take on Cybertronian reproduction. With, yes, adorable baby robots.
Persistent Incompetenceby MlleMusketeer
Starscream has a crush.
He deals with it badly.
Why doesn't Megatron ever actually off Starscream? Well...
Love and Convictions by dragonofdispair
For Bluestreak, it wasn't love at first sight.
A darker than usual take on Bluestreak and Prowl.
Independence Day by dragonofdispair
G1/IDW-ish AU. Post War. Optimus Prime stood on the balcony overlooking Iacon's reconstruction and watched the flashes of weapons fire in the distance. The Great War had been long, and peace -- if you could call this peace -- hard won. Then Starscream and his trine had escaped custody, and it had all spiraled completely out of control.
Peace has been achieved and Cybertron's new planetary government merrily trips back into totalitarianism with the inevitable result.
Bodywork by Elderberry
"It had taken Knockout exactly three solar cycles after the dust had settled and the war was finally deemed over, to come to a singular realization. Ratchet, Autobot CMO, most skilled medic likely left in the universe – took abysmal care of himself."
Or:
Rafael Esquivel devoured textbooks like some people devoured lunch, with pop-quizzes and exams rounding things out for dessert. He'd never expected to find himself here, awake at three o'clock in the morning, cramming for Calculus exam he had no hope of passing. The creepy Decepticon breathing down his neck was not helping - not at first, anyway.
Starscream is helpful but still creepy and terrifying.
Of Blood and Fire by rustedservos
What if The Truck [ BEATINGU ] was more than a vehicle? What if it was an ancient warrior from an alien planet? What if it met an ancient creature that hated the parasites as much as he did?
Transformers/Jeepers Creepers crossover. A severely under-appreciated fic.
Lullabies by Decepticonsensual
Takes place after Transformers Prime ends; spoilers through "Deadlock", with potential spoilers for "Predacons Rising". Cybertron has been restored, and a new generation is growing up that has never known war. Everything seems perfect... but why is it that Cybertron's newborn children keep talking about a voice no one else can hear? Warning: This one gets dark, with gore and mentions of torture.
Soundwave escapes the Shadowzone.
Alt Modes and Alchemy by pipermca
Stories set in a semi-medieval, fantasy-based AU. Magic, gods, dragons and more!
Fantasy Transformers AU featuring a justifiably rebellious Bluestreak.
Black on White on Black by pipermca
These stories take place in a (mostly) post-war, IDW-based AU. While most of the stories focus on Jazz and Prowl, there are some side stories with other characters in the same AU.
Gorgeous Prowl/Jazz-centric post-war AU and the reason I started shipping Bluestreak/Hound.
Ratchet won't take care of himself and Knockout is tired of self-sacrificing, Autobot slag.
What it says on the tin. :) Also why I ship Ratchet/Knock Out even though Ratchet/Optimus Prime is my go-to Prime OTP.
The Substitute Math Teacher by Anendda_Rysden
