    Summary

    After moving from the big city to Jasper, Nevada, Rani immediately hated the small town surrounded by desert. But after a strange incident involving huge robots that she and her friend Raf witnessed, Rani was forced to reconsider her attitude toward the town.
    Perhaps Jasper isn't so bad?

    Summary

    After the brief fight between Starscream, Arcee, and Megatron caused the collapse of an old Energon mine, Megatron finds himself pinned under a mountain of rock, unable to move.

    That would be humiliating enough... except he also ended up trapped next to one of the Autobots' pets.

    The human, known as Jack, manages to get Megatron to talk about his past before the war... and causes him to make a startling revelation.

    What if, all those eons ago... Orion had been right?

    Summary

    The world ended, and Clawthorn slept through it.

    Light-years away from Cybertron, on a small marble planet of lush green and rich blue, Clawthorn slept. Lounging against an old tree, still as stone, she could have been mistaken for the tree itself. Moss blanketed her metal frame. Dirt and time had dulled the shine of her body, and the scuffs and scrapes scattered across her armour told their own tales. She had slept for many years, and would have kept on sleeping, if not for the tiny animal trying to make her chassis its home.

    She felt something wriggling underneath her plating and awoke with a cry, shooting to her feet. She yelled, "Guh, get out!" and shook herself, cringing at the sensation of teeny claws tickling her inner workings.

    ---

    Separated from her guardians after evacuation, Clawthorn is lost on a remote planet with no way to contact them. Hundreds of years pass and Clawthorn has grown, her frame becoming larger and stronger than should be possible. Cybertronians did not grow, after all - not like organics. Not like her. Clawthorn blames her monoformer nature. There couldn't be anything more... could there?

    Summary

    In Starscream’s honest (and very humble) opinion, this was one of the worst days of his life.

    And that’s against some very steep competition, you know! Millennia upon millennia of having the worst luck known to Cybertron and beyond really lends itself to a never-ending stream of horrible events that all culminate into an ever-present world-weariness and severe paranoia, all channeled into one (unfortunately small) seeker.

    Today in particular, though, seemed to deviate from his usual pattern of bad luck, in the form of an irate Autobot.

    𑁋⭑✦♜✦⭑𑁋

    Another tfp Starscream redemption fic, what more could you want? I don't take myself too seriously, so neither should you.

    This is my first fic ever, so formatting advice, critique, and funny insults are encouraged.

    (Title from The Fall by half•alive, which is a song I believe describes Starscream and any potential redemption of his quite well)

    Summary

    “This is a truce between us. If we bond, neither of us can get out of this.”

    "So you're willing to force us into a bond neither of us would ever want, to risk literal insanity, just so you can get your precious peace?" Megatron says, voice filled with disbelief and disgust.

    "It doesn't matter what I want," Optimus replies, ignoring the freezing ice creeping closer to his spark.

    "And it doesn't matter what I want, either?" Megatron snarls at him.

    "This isn't about us!" Optimus says, louder than intended. He berates himself for losing his composure when Megatron's lips curl into a smirk. "I am willing to do anything to keep Cybertron safe."

    "Safe from me, you mean," Megatron says, gesturing towards the dark halls of the Nemesis outside of Optimus' prison cell.

    "Yes.”

    An arranged bond is a dangerous, loveless union in which one's death can have catastrophic consequences for the other. It's a trap with no way out.

    It's also Optimus' only chance to end the war, so he proposes a deal Megatron is unable to refuse.
