Transformers Iacon Literature Fest 2019 Day 3: AU

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.

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.

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.

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.
