    Summary

    “The girl walked amid the silence,
    weaving tales never meant to be understood.
    Sorrow and hope intertwined,
    becoming her unknowing companions.

    Her eyes watched mysteries far away,
    the whispers of beings not from this world—
    soft yet powerful all at once,
    guiding her on a slow journey.

    Even as loss surrounded her,
    and old stories spread like dust within memory,
    the girl kept walking.”

     

    ---

    She simply wanted to heal them, truly.

    Summary

    The War for Cybertron was never born out of conquest. It was born out of loss.

    What began as a revolt became a long shadow stretching to Earth, a blue planet that never asked to become the latest stage for a conflict seemingly without end.

    Autobots fighting to protect. Decepticons fighting for power. Every alliance provisional, every ceasefire a question mark. Soldiers, medics, spies, and civilians collide within that narrow margin between duty and mercy.

    But between raids and rescues, between orders followed and ignored, the lines between "us" and "them" begin to blur.

    A refuge becomes a front. A mission becomes a reconing. Between warring factions and silent depts, secrets change hands and old names gather new meanings.

    Some truths hide in plain sight. Some wounds look like loyalty. And some sparks, once kindled, refuse to be snuffed out.

    This is a story about the things we keep and the things we can't. This is a story about memory, about trust, and the stories they tell themselves to sleep. This is a story about the battles one chooses to fight, and the price of calling it peace.

    Summary

    A space bridge accident strands both Optimus Prime and Starscream on an unknown planet, filled with mechanical monsters. Once Starscream decides that immediately stabbing Optimus in the back is a bad idea, the two form an uneasy alliance. Just until they can get off this hostile world.

    But cooperation breeds grudging appreciation (and even more grudging attraction). Each uncovered secret on this mystery world brings them closer to returning to endless war. Can they keep fighting as if nothing has changed? Or will they take the chance for something new?

    Assuming the planet doesn’t deactivate them first.

    Summary

    Storming across the hangar floor, Optimus approached the loan shuttle with apprehension prickling across his plating. As soon as the Prime laid optics on the mechs descending the ramp he all but tripped over his own peds. There, standing on the ramp, stood the away team. No major injuries could be seen. Aside from a few scuffs and dents, Jazz, Mirage, and Bumblebee all looked like they had escaped from Decepticon territory relatively unscathed. No, it wasn’t the extraction team that had stolen the Primes equilibrium. It was the tiny form of a mechling hiding behind Jazz’s leg that had caught his attention.

    Summary

    The Matrix hums louder these days.
    Not the bright, guiding resonance it once was, but a restless frequency that claws beneath his armor; whispering in a voice that isn’t his.

    When the dreams come, they don’t feel like dreams anymore.
    When he wakes, the damage never stays inside them.

    Somewhere between the Matrix and him, something else is trying to take shape.

    Summary

    "Can I keep one of them, at least?" Megatron asked. "The firetruck. I promise I'll feed him."
    "Megatron!" Optimus ground out. "These are living mechs! They're not... for your entertainment!"
    Megatron, because he sucked, chuckled. "Are you jealous?" he asked. "Of Optimus Prime?"
    "I am Optimus Prime," Optimus hissed.

    Summary

    After the attack on Chicago, Sam tried so hard to help speak for the Autobots, to be their Ambassador to the frightened masses, to show the rest of Earth that there could be a place for them, that humans and cybertronians could live together, even thrive. That the Autobots were just trying to stamp out the Decepticons that had found earth millennia ago, to take responsibility for the damages they had brought to earth, not just come and make a mess and not try to help clean up after...
    But his voice was not enough.
    In the end, silence was the best he could do for any of them.
