Transformers Iacon Literature Fest 2019 Day 2: Angst

[hoursgoneby]

Rising to Your Challenge by prowlstwinkass

Jazz was a challenge that Prowl had to understand. Prowl was a challenge that Jazz had to possess.

A Decepticon saboteur comes across an Autobot tactician, and fascination sparks a long game that could end very badly for both of them.

So much angst, with a hypercompetent yet still severely damaged Prowl, mutually obsessed with a tricky, quicksilver Jazz.

The Door in Petrex's Quarters by ckret2

They say that Petrex, leader of the Autobot Justice Division, can’t feel love. Petrex prefers it that way. Or: how Prowl tamed his pet scientist. (IDW Shattered Glass)

Wonderfully creepy look at the relationship between Shattered Glass Prowl and Mesothulas/Tarantulas.

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.

"War does not determine who is right, only who is left." -- Bertrand Russell

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.

And I Alone Have Escaped to Tell You by astolat

“This is like some kinda bad dream,” Ironhide said aloud.

“No,” Cyclonus said, low and harsh. “But it will be.”

Everyone dies. Cyclonus survives.

When Jazz and his team are lost on a mission, Prowl has to carry on alone. But a discovery a thousand vorns later could turn his life upside down again.

Gorgeous Prowl/Jazz-centric post-war AU.
