Challenge #8

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.


Okay, let's look at my recc'd bookmarks from the past year:

Blank Page Waiting by [archiveofourown.org profile] spockandawe
You wake up early, but the drone is left on your doorstep even earlier than that. As soon as you get the alerts from your security system, it isn’t soon enough. The thing has been out there for breems already, right in full view of any curious passerby. You consider leaving it out there even longer—it would be an unmistakable insult to whoever sent it, but just vague enough to prevent them from acting on it—but that will just keep making your private business public, as more and more people see your… present.

Age by [archiveofourown.org profile] Bibliotecaria_D
Nobody thinks about surviving to old age during the war, but time passes.

[Tissue warning for this one.]

Playing the Long Odds by [archiveofourown.org profile] Bibliotecaria_D
A.k.a. the Curious Incident of Too Many Prowls. Starscream will never look at Prowl the same, but neither will Smokescreen.

[The fic offers the term 'an authority of Prowls' for any grouping of Prowls greater than two. I accept this.]

Giants of the Earth by [archiveofourown.org profile] HopeofDawn,[archiveofourown.org profile] Thefractured
How exactly do you hide a giant robot for fifty years? Very, very carefully ....

[A Transformers/Iron Giant crossover.]

Lost Memories by [personal profile] eerian_sadow 
In a ruined tower in New Iacon, a young historian-in-training finds a set of very old, very valuable documents. They become a graduate project and an adventure all in one.

Stray by [archiveofourown.org profile] Fierceawakening 
If one were to be delicate, one would say that Jazz and Prowl are incompatible.
 
A bit of kindness goes a long way. Anger may be insulating, but it's hard to stay angry when someone finally makes the effort to do something genuinely nice for you.
 
In which Rung decides Whirl has earned a polish and has no idea that it could trigger anything more than a few jabs at his handiwork.

Sparkr Stories by [tumblr.com profile] pipermca 
A series of stories based around the idea that there's a dating app called Sparkr that is similar to Tinder or Grindr, and that mechs use it to find dates and frags. The stories focus on the encounters and relationships that form because of (or despite of!) that app.

Patronus by [archiveofourown.org profile] DesdemonaKaylose 
A delicate white hand clasped the edge of the unit, and Megatron went stock still. There was barely a moment to process the pall of silent dread that fell before a second hand came up, and then the presumed-autobot levered himself upright with a small hum of effort.
 
Megatron slowly pivoted. “Rung,” he said, “what a pleasure it is to see you, after so long.”
 
TFPrime Shattered Glass AU by [archiveofourown.org profile] dragonofdispair[archiveofourown.org profile] Rizobact 
Exactly what it says on the tin. A collection stories (that are no longer just one-shots) that takes place in a Shattered Glass version of Transformers Prime.
 
It all started when, (for one prompt) instead of dying and being turned into a zombie, Cliffjumper was knocked into an interdimentional portal. And then it got weird.
 
Vampiric Codex by [archiveofourown.org profile] dragonofdispair[archiveofourown.org profile] Rizobact 
All flavor of monsters lurk in Cybertron’s dark places, from the senate halls to the gladiator pits to the slums beneath Iacon’s streets. This is a selection of their stories.

Cover by [archiveofourown.org profile] crimsonseekers 
Through the sights, he could see the mech's body lay prone on the floor of the stage, frame slowly turning to same dead grey of his own.
Kill confirmed.
He heard a scream.
He abandoned his cover and returned to the evacuation point.

Deliverer by [archiveofourown.org profile] spaceliquid 
Many years have passed since the Great War, and there are laws in place to keep the peace. One day an Autobot and a Decepticon break the law by saving the life of a sparkling.

Cougar Sighting by [archiveofourown.org profile] HappyHour 
Park Rangers can at some point end up walking up on lovers in a middle of a tryst. For this Ranger, he didn't think he would spot two alien robots going at it. And he is not the only one.

Meister Ain't My Designation by [archiveofourown.org profile] GoblinCatKC 
Long before the war, Prowl is intent on tracking down and arresting Meister, a joyriding thief causing mayhem in Praxis. Unfortunately Prowl must also deal with the distraction of an arranged marriage to a mech he's never met, Jazz of the tower Chamber Harmonic.

Whirlybird by [archiveofourown.org profile] Trinary 
Cody speeds up, turns the corner, and blinks. There’s a girl hanging off Whirl. She looks about twelve, with a romper, green pigtails, and band-aids on her knees. Her legs kick in the air where she dangles from Whirl’s hand. She spots Cody and freezes. Her one eye is vibrant, unnatural yellow. There’s an autobot symbol on the romper, with the missing eye crossed out. She has big, clunky army boots, freckles, and two machine guns strapped to her back.
 
“Uh,” Cody says.

Two Good Mechs by [archiveofourown.org profile] freakylemurcat 
Loosely connected Jazz/Prowl porn.

Alt Modes and Alchemy by [tumblr.com profile] pipermca 
Stories set in a semi-medieval, fantasy-based AU. Magic, gods, dragons and more!

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:
