Challenge #6

In your own space, 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.

*cracks knuckles* It's that time again! Let's take a look at the past year's bookmarks (and subscriptions because I'm actually terrible at bookmarking ongoing fics and just rely on my notification emails.)

Etched on Every Wall by Pteropoda (SilentP)
Before he became Wheeljack, R2071 knew who he was going to be. It was who he was sparked to be, after all: Assistant to Shockswitch, one of Iacon University's most prominent engineers. It was who Shockswitch had been training him to be from the moment he had come online, and it would make Shockswitch happy, if only R2 could learn to do anything right.

Then, before he became Wheeljack, R2071 met Ratchet.

Tell Me Who I Am
by seaquestions
"What I mean is," Prowl says, tapping the near-invisible seam going down his bumper, "If you are finding it so hard to believe that I am, in fact, literally sparkless, I can show you the inside of my chest. You will see, with your very own optics, that it is empty. I believe that would be sufficient evidence."

Enemies with Benefits

Mikaela Banes broke up with Sam, and a certain police cruising Decepticon wants to show her a new world of possibilities. (NSFW)

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 ....

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.

I don't have so many of these in my bookmarks, apparently, but I dredged a couple up:

Persistent Incompetence byMlleMusketeer

Starscream has a crush. 

He deals with it badly.

Why doesn't Megatron ever actually off Starscream? Well...


Prowl decides to stop hiding his relationship with Jazz and does so with a vengeance. Jazz is delighted. Smokescreen is amused. The rest of the Autobots get the shock of their lives.

Don't ever make Prowl decide he has something to prove, Tracks. ^_^

Lab Partners by
In which GLaDOS gets the best surprise ever, Shockwave gets a kick in the pants to solve the ‘whoops the AllSpark exploded and our species is going to die out' issue, and the Oracle Turret keeps being dead-on (but obtuse).

I originally clicked on this for the 'what the - ?' factor and that's how I wound up accidentally buying the GLaDOS/Shockwave pairing.

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.

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.

Anamnesis by pipermca
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.

Oh, hey, this is new (to me). Snagged from [personal profile] pipermca

Fragile by BlushLouise, especially chapters five and eight (Prowl/Jazz and adopted!Bluestreak fluff, I'm sure to no-one's surprise).

Cybertron, and the war is intensifying. The Decepticons are marching on Iacon.
Inside the city, the Autobots are clinging to life, and to each other. Because when the world is collapsing around you, you need something to fight for.
Unfortunately, love is anything but simple.
Caution: contains Jazz being absolutely and thoroughly smitten, and a bitty!Bluestreak that'll make you go d'aww!

Leave feedback for a fanwork. Or multiple fanworks. It can be as simple as I liked this to a detailed list of all the things you loved about the fanwork. The key is to leave some sort of feedback.

If you've already left feedback in the course of a previous challenge, it totally counts. But you're free to leave more feedback.
 
I'm going to count Kudos as feedback and say 'yes', since I view kudos as a shortcut way of saying 'I liked this!' They make me happy to get, definitely.

Astolat's Transformers Works series, a mostly-unrelated series of fics, as of today consisting of:

  • And I Alone Have Escaped to Tell You
    “This is like some kinda bad dream,” Ironhide said aloud.
    “No,” Cyclonus said, low and harsh. “But it will be.”
  • Champion
    If it was anybody’s fault, it was that loser Starscream.
  • Fraternization (which is my favorite and I don't even ship Galvatron/Cyclonus, because Astolat managed to write their relationship and keep Galvatron batshit insane, I think)
    “Well, uh, congratulations,” Ultra Magnus said, blankly.
    Cyclonus paused and said sincerely, “Thank you, Magnus,” looking touched, and then punched him in the head.
  • The Revolutionary (second favorite)
    “I never went down,” Ratchet said.
  • Antifreeze
    “Starscream, has it ever occurred to you that you’re an idiot?” Megatron said.
  • Elegy (This could take place after And I Alone Have Escaped to Tell You, but it was the first one I read and I wasn't lost, so it doesn't matter what order you read them in.) 
    The halls of the dead were hushed, the sound of Cyclonus’s footfalls swallowed swiftly by distance and dust.
This video for Metal Machine by Sabaton that puts the GD/Kaiju fight together as one sequence. Not only is it a Pacific Rim fanvid, the original song itself is pretty much a long list of all the bands that Sabaton is a fan of. Sabaton is pretty much metal/history fans singing about what they love. They are awesome and you should check them out.

Oh, god, I honestly can't believe it's 2017 already. Thank whatever powers might exist that the clusterfuck of 2016 is over - and that's honestly all I want to say about the past year. Pretty sure most people agree with me.

But! Snowflake is back! :D This is honestly one of the highlights for the start of the year and I'm grateful to everyone who stepped up as a new mod because I really needed this. That's definitely not a criticism of [personal profile] akamine_chan and co-runners! I understand they've had a tough year, and I also get that if you don't have the spoons, you don't have the spoons and need to step back and engage in some self-care. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that and whoever tells you otherwise is lying. *hugs for you all*

Fandom Snowflake Challenge bannerDay 1

In your own space, post a rec for at least three fanworks that you have created. It can be your favorite fanworks that you've created, or fanworks you feel no one ever saw, or fanworks you say would define you as a creator. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.


I'm still pleased with The Longest Night, a LoTR fanfic I wrote in 2015 for the International Fanworks Day challenge over on [livejournal.com profile] lotr_community. It came in 2nd place in the Tree and Flower Awards 2015 for Favorite Story Featuring a New Author, which was a most pleasant surprise!

Honesty, an SPN fanfic that I really need to remember to post on A03, is one I think I include in this challenge every year but it's one of my favorites. It's a drabble based around Dean and Future!Cas' conversation in the truck during 'The End'. Future!Cas breaks my heart, he truly does.

Through the Gates, a Goblin Emperor fanfic written for [livejournal.com profile] smallfandomfest Round 19 and based on the prompt 'It's not quite love, but it's not just duty, either.' It's about Maia and Csethiro's developing relationship, because I wanted to see more of that, dammit!

Calling Frequency, a Dead Space fanfic also written for [livejournal.com profile] smallfandomfest Round 19 and based on the prompt 'Trapped on Tau Volantis after the events of Dead Space 3, an injured Carver has to rely on Isaac for help.'. This one was challenging because a) I've only played DS3 single-player and thus only really know Carver through cut scenes and b) it's mostly dialogue and I had a hard time remembering to include actions and descriptions and not wind up with something that read like, as How Not to Write a Novel says, two disembodied brains in a jar having a conversation. But I succeeded!

Formality by lightningwaltz
Fandom: The Goblin Emperor
Summary: Beshelar is distressed by an attraction to Maia. He's even more aggravated when he realizes the attraction is mutual.
Archive Warning: No Archive Warnings Apply
Category: M/M
Additional Tags: Pining, Mutual Pining, Loyalty, Resolved Sexual Tension, Power Imbalance, consensual polyamory

I like the additional depth the author gives to Beshelar, and though she only makes a brief appearance, I quite enjoy her Csethiro as well.

Anna Hart's Letters by CenozoicSynapsid
Fandom: The Bone Key
Summary: Old love letters can still be compelling reading. Unfortunately.
Archive Warning: No Archive Warnings Apply
Category: Gen
Additional Tags: Lost Love

I can't really pin down why I enjoyed this one, but I did.

Ephialtes by Harukami
Fandom: The Doctrine of Labyrinths
Summary: Felix leaves Malkar, but Malkar won't ever leave Felix.
Archive Warnings: Creator Chose Not to Use Archive Warnings, Rape/Non-Con. I'm adding physical, mental, and emotional abuse. The Doctrine of Labyrinths series contains a lot of material that could potentially trigger someone. If you're not familiar with it you may want to tread carefully.
Category: M/M

I've always been curious about how, exactly, Felix slipped the bonds of the obligation de sang with Malkar, and this does an excellent job of filling in the missing events. Mind you, it's not an easy read.

I'll also leave a link here to my 2015 recs for the challenge, and here and here for 2014.

11. Have you ever attempted an "adaptation" fic of a favorite book or movie but set in a different fandom?

No, but I've helped a friend plot out a few fairy-tale adaptations, and I've enjoyed adaptations others have done. A favorite is Of leaves of Gold and Petals Red by Ithilwen of Himring, a LoTR-style adaptation of Tam Lin. This one also goes back to the question about OCs, in that it features one used to good purpose.

If the witches don't eat you, it's home by xavie
Category: F/M, M/M
Summary: How could he tell his father that his son was a coward? Afraid of a woman? He couldn't. He wouldn't. It was as simple as that. An owl hooted and had to watch its prey scurry into the leaves as Isgrimnur shouted out his frustration.

WynCatastrophe and her Doctrine of Labyrinths fanfic Comparative Thaumaturgy. It's a WiP (I'm subscribed to it on AO3) but worth hanging around for!

I was hoping to cross this with my entry for day 6, but that isn't cooperating and while I know there's no deadline, leaving things unfinished bothers me - for a while, anyway, until I get distracted by something else  - so I went with something I've been meaning to try for a while: podfic.

Gentlemen's Night Out by oshun over on Silmarillion Writers' Guild was the one I chose. (Honestly, I recommend that fic in whatever format, especially if you think Laws and Customs of the Eldar would make immortal life a bit...bland.) I'm not sold on podfic yet - I can appreciate the work that goes into it, and that isn't meant as a shot against the one above by any means - but may try out a few more before I make up my mind.
