If You're Searching For A Place You Know by Kattli (Kathrine)

Summary
The new Prime may as well have been slagging Primus himself with how he was going on performing miracle feats and yet still managing to skip out in just enough time to avoid being caught by any Con units in the area.
Which made him a curiosity and Meister sure did love teasing out curiosities.
And so maybe he did let himself get noticed on a camera or two. And maybe he didn’t get out as fast as he could have. He would give credit to the little minibots that caught up to him, they sure gave him a workout and almost were able to follow him through the ventilation system! Sure, the one got stuck on his back kibble, but hey, it was the effort that counted, right?
He hadn’t let them catch him, but he maybe hadn’t worked as hard as he could have to leave. Because he knew it would get him closer to where he wanted to be.
Sitting in an interrogation room with Prowl hadn’t been that ‘where,’ but it was getting closer and closer.

Summary
“Ready to call it?” Blaster asked with a smirk. “Now that we’ve shown everyone how to throw down.”
“Oh we ain’t done yet,” Jazz refused, and then spun around towards their captive audience, hands going wide. “Can’t disappoint our friends looking for a show on Unity Day, can we?”
“Disappointment: failure to commit to full triple flip and settling for a double. Partner lacking in proper momentum.”
Then the music cut off.
Jazz froze. Bots around him froze. Optics were turned to look at the imposing figure standing there, arms crossed, the least impressed that Jazz had ever seen him. Some of the mechs had less than amused looks on their faces, others looked concerned and wary. Not sure where this was going, Jazz would bet. Jazz wasn’t right sure where, either. With the way Rumble and Frenzy had been sending them death glares all night, he’d figured Soundwave would have stayed away and gotten out as soon as he could.
Instead, he pulled this.

Summary
So you want me to spy on the Prime’s youngling, is that it?”
“Sure, if that’s what…ya need to call it…to feel better ‘bout it,” Ricochet shrugged, venting.
“Just watch them,” Ratchet’s voice echoed with a rumble of his engine. “Ricochet trusts you to keep those little scraplets out of trouble and we need someone who isn’t going to enable them with the others. Keep an optic and report back to me, if you’re too worried about talking to Prime. He’ll be in debriefings the whole slag shift anyway.”
Drift wanted to refuse again. But reporting to Ratchet…didn’t sound like such a bad thing. Not that Drift would say that out loud. So instead he just let out a huff and a vent.
Ratchet’s engine rumbled again and Minerva took the cue to transform next to him, ready to follow. “Thanks, kid.” And they were gone.
Just like the little scraplets Drift was supposed to be following.
Slag.

Summary
“It’s a beautiful lunar cycle, I see.”
He couldn’t help but smile, just a bit. “Clearest one we’ve had in a long time.”
He tilted his head a bit to the side, leaning more on one arm than the other as he sat on the steel railing of the balcony outside the tower of the Autobot headquarters. Most mechs didn’t come up here, because it was mainly for communications and satellite monitoring. He wondered how long it took Red Alert to notice him and ping Optimus. He hadn’t been hiding, even if he had been…waiting. Waiting for answers. Because waiting was easier than having to deal with this right now.
============================
Jazz has been avoiding an important conversation, and somehow Optimus makes it easy and hard at the same time.

Summary
He made sure his team was deep into the underground tunnel E818 – one with three exits, including a secret one he was sure the Quintessons hadn’t found yet or they would have used it long before now – before he stopped, watching the distance between them grow and grow.
“Bee,” he called out, “when ya get back to base, tell Blaster he’s gonna need to drop the beat.”
Then he set off the nearest hidden charges he knew were planted in every mine shaft and tunnel. Just enough of them to collapse this side of the mine and prevent anyone else from following.
“What was–Jazz! Jazz, do–!”
His words were cut off as the ceiling of the mine collapsed right in front of Jazz’s face, making him step back just enough to avoid getting hit by the debris.
======
Jazz sacrifices himself to save his team, and that leads to a less-than-fun time for Jazz. But he's not worried. He knows if he waits long enough, someone is coming to get him. Sucks for the Quintessons that the one coming is exactly who Jazz thinks it will be.

Summary
The Music of Life is played by notes you hear every day, if you take the time to listen. Jazz has played a lot of notes in his life, danced to even more. Sometimes a new note can shift perspective for everything he thought he was ready for, but he wouldn't change a thing.

Summary
Somehow, some way, Sunstreaker and Sideswipe keep ending up in situations where they have to cooperate with or, even worse, find common ground, with the Decepticons Elite Trine. And it always comes back to that time they were trapped in an abandoned underground city together.
Sunstreaker doesn't know why this keeps happening, but one of these days he really is going to kill one of them.
Except Thundercracker. Maybe he can live.

TF Rare Pairs 2024 by Kattli (Kathrine)
Fandom: The Transformers (IDW Generation One), Transformers - All Media Types, Transformers One (2024), Transformers: Cyberverse
27 Oct 2024
Summary
These are all of my fics for the TF RarePairing Fest 2024. Majority of them aren't connected to each other, but some of them will exist in the same story-verse just because I can. I prefer to post each fic individually instead of as a chaptered piece. Most of these are a bit raw and unpolished as I'm writing and sharing for the Fest then I'll be going back and doing a better proofread and cleaning them up after the Fest is over!
I'll be writing a different ship for each prompt I do and the ship for the prompt is randomized so your guess is as good as mine what's coming out of this.

Summary
After Jazz suffers an injury in the field, he's forced to navigate an entirely new kind of battle as a new, somewhat untrained saboteur, struggling with the reduced functionality in his leg and a crew made up of shut-in scientists and new recruits. Early into his first mission, he will discover a regime cruel enough to make mesh crawl... and have to use everything at his disposal (and then some) to thwart Megatron's best intelligence officer.
...
"There are an infinite number of things I could attempt to warn you about. Unfortunately, much of spying is defined by decisions you make in moments that span kliks… so you may not have time to recall what I tell you, regardless.” Mirage sighs. “It is necessary that you immerse yourself completely in your story. Know who you are. If you act as that version of yourself in perpetuity and maintain a perfect confidence in your false motive— you will be surprised at how easy it is to lie. People trust their immediate assumptions. The assuredness of your gait, or even just the implication that you belong, is enough… so long as the enemy is given that first impression that you belong in their sphere. You must wield perception itself as your weapon.” -

Summary
The more things change, the more things stay the same.
Or
They were found abandoned in Kaon. Left behind, unwanted, made to fend for themselves. Then, they were found, and brought away from the alleys and streets. They gained a home, and safety, and more importantly than anything else, a family. They grew, and the war ticked on. Things may have changed as the vorns passed by, but not as much as they thought. Because no matter what else changed , they had their family.
Or
Family, through the vorns of war. In all the ways it changed, in all the ways it remained the same.
(Jazz and Optimus wouldn’t change it for anything.)

Summary
Megatron is locked in the basement and his Decepticons are rebuilding Cybertron under Autobot leadership. It's a damn powder keg. The language barrier isn't helping either.
Optimus gets a little help from the monster in the basement. Bumblebee gets a little conniving. Prowl gets very frustrated. And the Decepticon workers get themselves some nice civil rights

Summary
For Sideswipe, finding out he has a brother was one thing. Finding out said brother is his split-spark twin was another. Finding out that said split-spark twin was forged before the War of the Threefold Spark while Sideswipe wasn’t due to stigmas against split-sparks, which left Sideswipe’s spark locked away for megacycles while Sunstreaker fought in a war…? Yeah, Sideswipe has some feelings about that and would like to share them with someone, thanks. Unfortunately, Sunstreaker doesn’t seem interested in getting to know his younger twin brother.
Or: Sideswipe meets Sunstreaker, the twin he never knew he had but who he should have been with their whole lives. It goes about as well as he expected and worse than he’d secretly hoped.
