    Summary

    When a meditation with the Matrix of Leadership reminds him of the Prime's priestly duties, Optimus decides to hold the Rite of Prima's Blessing: an ancient ritual devoted to connection, unity...and the Prime's submission to all Cybertronians.

    (Warnings abound, so please read the headers.)

    ------
    Megatron leaned forward, hissing, "I should call your bluff and bring the entire Decepticon army. What would you do then, Prime?"

    The thought was...more than a little intimidating, but the Matrix, as it had taken to doing lately, pulsed supportive warmth along his circuits. Optimus reset his optics, slowly, letting a smile creep into his voice. "I have a few ideas."

    Summary

    Jazz was used to change. One couldn't be complacent in Kaon. He was used to listening for the signs, watching for the change in the wind as the seekers said. Now...now was the time to double down and make sure he was securely on the winning team.

    (Early-war AU, Decepticon!Jazz) Co-written with Borath.

    Summary

    After losing his first two cassettes, Soundwave finds himself grieving and in debt. His only option is to enter service as a "contractor", an indentured servant, in exchange for his contractee paying off his debt. He hopes only to fix his financial situation and eventually be able to start over. What he'll get, however, is so much more.

    (AU, contract indentured servitude, poly relationship, and a whole ton of fluff. Rating will increase slowly as story progresses.)

    Summary

    Mikaela shifted, putting a finger under Raindancer's chin to tilt her head up. Raindancer's visor pulsed a sullen red. "Hon, we love you, and a little mess isn't going to change that."

    "But he felt STORMY. REALLY stormy."

    "I know. I know you could feel him getting mad, but just because you get a little annoyed with someone doesn't mean you hate them. Believe me, I'd have a lot fewer friends if that was true, for one. And I doubt your carrier'd put up with me, for two."

    (Part of the larger "Everything's Coming Up Kittens" series, which is in the far, far future in the Warrior Goddess timeline. Said series is bits and pieces dealing with a lot of familiar characters' sparklings. Set...seriously post-Earth.)

    Summary

    Mikaela, Sideswipe, car washing, and open track racing. Roughly in that order. Post-ROTFish, not related to any other story arc.

    "Am I parsing your notoriously inaccurate human language well enough to hear you suggesting we do something illegal?" Oh, he wasn't going to fool her with that tone. Not after the legendary Porsche incident. She'd BEEN there when he'd gotten dressed down for that, and he hadn't looked repentent at ALL, even while Prime had been saying things like "what were you thinking" and "reckless endangerment" and the dreaded "very disappointed".

    Summary

    Jazz. Ironhide. A cave-in in the arctic. One heater. One blanket. Less drama than you might expect.

    (Done for the competition-fun community on LJ, where I was bit by idea of doing the "arctic entrapment" theme with completely asexual mechs.)

    I think I read a fanfic like this once, Jazz thought, sighing at the rock-and-icefall where the cavern exit used to be.

    Summary

    Someone needed a nanite specialist. Someone kidnapped the best.

    Summary

    Jazz, Soundwave, a very personal favor, and tactical use of emoticons.

    Jazz reset his optics. "What, is snarking over IM some kind of Decepticon mating ritual I didn't know about?"

    Summary

    "You are DEAD to me," Ariadne hissed. She threw up a hand, palm out, to cut Eames off. "No. I don't want to hear it. You weren't going to call me. There are giant robots from outer space and you were *not* going to call me."

    Summary

    Arthur and Ariadne thought they were heading to a boring sheepherding town to broker a trade contract. Instead, they end up in an enemy(ish) country, trapped on a mountain, in a scary castle, with a possibly-evil wizard (who nonetheless makes excellent scones). To say nothing of the dragon....

    Summary

    Sometimes meetings with Affectionate Devils are all in a day's work in Fallen London.

    Your friend beams, reaching out to grip your shoulder. You can feel the heat of his hand through his gloves and your coat. "I must admit I was hoping you would accept. There are always those who are willing to work for our brass, but true loyalty...ah, that is something delicious."

    "Loyalty?" You smile, teasingly. "Such an old-fashioned idea."
