    Summary

    Order 66 goes out. The clone troopers execute their Generals. Jaro Tapal dies in an escape pod and Cal lands on Bracca alone, one of the few surviving Jedi in a galaxy that suddenly wants him dead. Under those circumstances, all he can do is blend in with the scrappers, keep his head down and his eyes open, and try to trust in a Force he can no longer connect with. He shuts his mouth so he never says anything suspicious and then decides perhaps it’s best if he just doesn’t talk at all.

    After five years, he’s pretty sure he’s forgotten how.

    Summary

    “Nice shot, man!” Jazz yells, Bebop’s speakers carrying his voice.

    The mech blinks at him and scowls. Which, wow, okay, it has a face. Mouth, eyes, a nose—the works. Well, one of the eyes isn’t lit up, but still. It can blink! Jazz couldn’t even get the clearance to have Bebop’s visor display emojis, and not for the lack of trying. Meanwhile, this guy gets a whole, expressive face and—holy shit, are those teeth?

    Summary

    Soundwave's banishment to the shadowzone has been bleak, uneventful and unending. He hasn't been able to contact Megatron or the Nemesis. He's low on fuel. If it weren't for the emotion-suppressing protocols he implemented before the war, he would be miserable.

    And then one day a dimension-hopping Rodimus falls into the shadowzone and offers him a way out.

    “You'll like the Lost Light,” said Rodimus. “Everyone gets a second chance, there. You wanna stay here forever?”

    Summary

    Ricochet's got a bad case of conscience and he's pretty sure it's about to get him killed.

    (aka I think I've read every defection/ex-Con au and now I'm forced to make my own. Jazz-centric.)

    Summary

    There was a smile on his lips, he realized, one that was softer than he’d allowed in a long time. Because, Primus slag it, he was getting soft. Sharp edges he hadn’t even realized he had were being dulled away by the Terrans, edges he’d had for so long that he’d forgotten what it felt like without them, and he couldn’t find it within himself to be annoyed or even anything nearing negative about it.

     

    Which reminded him.

     

    Exercise time.

    A training exercise goes slightly awry in the best way possible
