Cute, sweet, and porny. Enjoy! (Sticky, PnP)
Oh, this is a brand-spanking-new one but you need to read it. (You should be reading astolat anyway, if you're not.)

"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."

Rape/Non-Con warning.
I skipped over this one so many times, untilpipermca 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.

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.
A.k.a. the Curious Incident of Too Many Prowls. Starscream will never look at Prowl the same, but neither will Smokescreen.

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.

Jazz had always felt that Prowl was a little...different than the rest of them.

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.

Courting a Spymaster by xensilverquill
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.
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:

Starscream has a crush.
He deals with it badly.
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.

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).

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?

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.Tags:

Jazz was a challenge that Prowl had to understand. Prowl was a challenge that Jazz had to possess.So much angst, with a hypercompetent yet still severely damaged Prowl, mutually obsessed with a tricky, quicksilver Jazz.
A Decepticon saboteur comes across an Autobot tactician, and fascination sparks a long game that could end very badly for both of them.
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.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.

Cybertron, and the war is intensifying. The Decepticons are marching on Iacon.Caution: contains Jazz being absolutely and thoroughly smitten, and a bitty!Bluestreak that'll make you go d'aww!
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.
