Rating: M
Summary: Arcee had always hoped that Cybertron would rebuild a better society after the war than they'd had before. But all too soon, her world begins to slide back into functionalism. It needs a leader, a strong, charismatic leader who knows the consequences of following that path. Optimus is gone, but she's not entirely out of options.

They're just not very good options.

Words: 4,021
Rating: G
Summary: An Age or more ago on Cybertron there was a mighty king who had twelve creations, all Seekers, and the king refused to let them fly at night. Yet come the morning their thrusters always showed signs of having powered hours of flight. The king at last proclaimed that whoever could learn where the twelve Seekers went each night could select one of them as their conjunx endura and rule with them as consort after the king's deactivation. But, should anyone attempt to learn the secret for three days and three nights running and yet fail to do so, then that mech would forfeit their head.
 
Adapted from a variant of The Twelve Dancing Princesses, The Shoes That Were Danced to Pieces, by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm. Mostly.

Knock Out would call out “Soundwave, send down your data cables and pull me up!” and Soundwave would do so. Then, when Knock Out was ready to leave, Soundwave would lower him down the same way.

A Transformers/Rapunzel fusion.

Summary: Starscream’s creator gives him away to the first random mech to walk through the door. It was supposed to teach Starscream humility.

It didn’t quite work out that way.

Oh, this is a brand-spanking-new one but you need to read it. (You should be reading [personal profile] astolat anyway, if you're not.)

The Parent Trap by [personal profile] astolat 
“Oh my God, are you saying that Megatron had Optimus’s baby?” Miko shrieked piercingly.

Turns out yes, that is what they're saying. Unsurprisingly, he's a brilliant little shit, too. You'll love him.

Playing the Long Odds by [tumblr.com 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.

"By Primus," you say, "Hours, are you reccing something where Prowl is in a relationship with someone not Jazz??" "Yes, yes I am," I say, "and you will thank me."

These Games We Play by peacewish
For the first time in vorns, Soundwave plays a card game and wins a most unusual prize. But according to Jazz, that's when the real game began. Now master and slave must match wits in a game that will push them both to the breaking point and beyond.

Rape/Non-Con warning.

I skipped over this one so many times, until [personal profile] pipermca  recc'd it for Day 2 and then I sat down and pretty much devoured it in a day or so. Soundwave is relatively sympathetic. Jazz is cunning and crafty and not to be underestimated. The post-war Decepticons-won society is well built and truly dystopian.

Verumi by [tumblr.com profile] chibiVeneficus 
Jazz had always felt that Prowl was a little...different than the rest of them.

Mecha say a lot of things about Prowl being just a drone, but what if...?

Blank Page Waiting by [tumblr.com 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.
 
When you open your apartment door to see the thing yourself, your first impression is large— not unusual for a drone, but it’s one thing to see them as fixtures all over the planet, and another to see this particular one and realize that you’re going to have to be responsible for it. The drone’s head swivels down, and its single red optic focuses on you. There are only a few people down below on the street, but they’re staring.

I can't say enough good things about this fic. This is another one I devoured in a sitting. Prowl is a master manipulator as usual per IDW but still approachable. You go through so many different emotions as you read through and I just want to tell you ALL THE THINGS at the same time I fear spoiling it for you. It's magnificent and you need to go read it right now.

 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.

Love and Convictions by dragonofdispair
 
For Bluestreak, it wasn't love at first sight.
A darker than usual take on Bluestreak and Prowl.

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:

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.
 
 
Healing Touch by 16woodsequ
Seekers are social creatures, and Knock Out comes to the realization that a certain aspect of Starscream's health has been severely neglected.
Starscream needs a hug. Of course, he'll never ask for it and it's not as if Knock Out can just offer, so he has to be clever.

Equivalent Retaliation by pink_shoes
 
It was a coincidence, Megatron told himself. It was war. These things happened. The idea that an insignificant mech like Skyfire was deliberately targeting Soundwave was nothing short of absurd.
 
And yet, it kept happening.
A nice portrayal of Skyfire being not nearly so kind and pacifistic as he's often shown.

Courting a Spymaster by xensilverquill

"At the height of their ascent, just as frost begins to nip at their alerions, they shift as one. Dreadwing's servos stretch out, and the jet's digits are there to slide between his own. The bulkier mech pulls the other against his chassis. Their ex-vents turn to so many floating ice crystals at this altitude, mingling and innumerable as the stars. Arms folding tightly around the slight frame in his arms as Soundwave does the same.
 
"And then they fall."
 
The courtship flight of two Decepticon lieutenants.
 
Seriously gorgeous rarepair fic.
