Summary
When you started your morning, you expected to enjoy a beautiful woodland hike. A neat trek with a brisk breeze, cool trees, and pretty leaves. An abrupt visit to an alien planet with residents the size of buildings, was not part of those expectations.
Cold, lost, and further from earth than any human has ever been, you strive to return home.

Summary
Housing tiny and (slightly) dysfunctional robots is hard, and any break is welcome. Of course, that doesn’t mean there isn’t time for shenanigans with the wonders of Earth’s weather.

Summary
As Mask tried to relax into his bedroll, a tight ball of something curled in his chest. A wrongness he couldn’t identify, and it made him restless and tense.
Mask tilted his head back, feeling the crisp chill of the night on his face. His cozy blanket wrapped around him. Chirping crickets and the familiar rustles of small animals filled the night. The trees rustled in the wind, a comforting reminder of his home. He slept in the center of camp, surrounded by powerful warriors–his brothers. So why couldn’t he sleep?
OR Mask is troubled, and Twilight helps him.

“Okay, I’m confused. What’s this about? Who are those guys?” Leo asked.

Summary
He scooped up Eleni’s discarded dagger as he went, passively inspecting it as he walked past the girls.
“I know a place not too far from here more suited for a little chat.” He inclined his head towards the alley opening, then led the way.
Eleni hesitated, and Lumine tugged on Eleni’s shoulder. Shaking herself and straightening, she trailed behind cautiously.Lumine nudged her lightly, “Hey, it’s going to be alright.” She gave a small smile, which Eleni ignored. “I know you haven’t had the best first impression…”
Eleni glared daggers at her.
Lumine winced, but pressed on, “But really, they’re good people. You just have to get to know them.”
Eleni scowled. ‘Not likely.’

Summary
The Eridians have finally gotten the water feature in Ryland's personal zoo enclosure just right (even if Rocky would like him to stop calling his dome that).
Rocky refuses to believe that humans naturally float. There is no way Ryland's entire species regularly goes into deep water for fun.

"Photon sensing is short-range for navigation? How far Grace see?"
Grace's brows furrowed as he contemplated.
"In here? To the wall—about six meters. But outside, or looking out into space? I can see things that are kilometers away. If it's a star, I can see it from light-years away."
All three Eridians clicked in surprise, the third Eridian—Grace nicknamed them 'Mendel'—wobbling on their stool in surprise.
"Light-years?!" Rocky chirped, melody rising. "You lie! Explain!"
OR
Grace explains what light and colors are.

101 Ways To ACTUALLY Die While Working On Your PhD by MlleMusketeer

Summary
So I noticed that there's been a certain amount of disdain for self-insert fics, whether they be explicitly self-insert, or involve OCs. So I decided to write one, because let's face it, the world's currently a mess and a bit of good fun never goes amiss.
This is the universe in which the Autobots settled down, got established in the southwestern United States and after a while, entered into various research partnerships with a major university. Vaguely Bayverse with overtones of IDW and G1, and centered around the lives of graduate students involved in this research partnership. Entirely intended to be fluff and humor, but this is me writing it...

Summary
The newcomer was a spy, Prowl was certain of it. But he didn't tell anyone. Not yet. Call it a social experiment to see how many of his fellows noticed. All while he let the new recruit poke around, just to see what would happen.
He always did love new data.

XD
I love how Prowl just lets the spy walk in and do whatever he wants just because he’s that boredOoh, I like the concept of Decepticon Prowl getting a battle mask and visor (the color gray is an interesting choice)
(and a rover pet hehe):0
And his optics are still blue in the end :)In conclusion… Bored Prowl is a menace

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.)

One of my new most absolute favorite fics to ever exist.
Stellar characterization of everyone (particularly of Jazz, Mirage and Prowl)
Riveting plot, deep conversations that make you think/feel, and amazing world building filled to the brim with lovely tiny details.- Hacking as an interrogation method
- I like the idea of mechs geared more towards thinking/analysis having sliiiightly less physical prowess than those engineered for combat.
- And that when being hacked/mentally used, abrupt (or general) disconnects leave them disoriented and unable to move properly.
- Ooh, the stasis cuffs concept is cool - they not only hold the hands, but restrict/sap overall strength/motion.
I love the concept of Jazz using internal music to time escape sequences (or combat).Ch. 4 is hilarious. You’d think Prowl’d “let the thing go” because they need to escape asap, but no. No he wants answers for why, and he’s not backing off until he gets them.
Ch. 15/16/17’s inhibitor pulse thing is cool
More interrogation skills in Ch. 17 is neatLove the conversations Ch. 18
Ch. 19:
Optimus :3
And Ratchet XD
And Bee is so cute!Hehe I love Mirage’s subtle dig. I can already tell I’m gonna like his characterization here.
:0 This Optimus has sass and I love it.
Optimus only you can weaponize kindnessThe idea of being low on coolant (and the ramifications of that) is very interesting to me
____Oooh, the furious Prowl in Ch. 21 is intense
The constant use (abuse?) of the inhibitors is curious? Though it does make sense
Ch. 22 - Jazz’s echo location(?) is cool. Also, Mirage!!
Ehehe I like his outward aloofness, but inward desire for conversation and apparent friendliness. He’s refined and elegant.<“Jazz sticks behind Mirage. Cliffjumper’s engine growls steadily. ‘Cells are the other way.’It’s interesting that Jazz is consistently and correctly reading Mirage’s tells. This could be due to Jazz’s skill and/or this Mirage not being trained as much/by Jazz (yet?).
The implications around Mirage’s lack of experience (Jazz reading him, him not knowing how to de-escalate Cliffjumper) is interesting! It’s different from the perspective I’d curated of him thus far (though of course everyone has different ideas). I kinda like about what it’s implying about his time here - history no friends/little friendly interactions, which also resulted in him not knowing how to handle Cliffjumper
Cool hacking stuff in ch. 25! Very exciting over all
XD sassy Prowl my beloved (Ch. 26)
Prowl has forensics experience!Augh, I love love love the conversations/arguments between Jazz and Prowl in Ch. 27, particularly the light it sheds on Prowl. - Prowl keeps pushing so hard for Jazz to change because he cares so. Much.
Prowl cares about lives, and saving lives, so much.
I love the idea of Prowl despairing at his inability to convince when he knows that convincing could save so many.
I love that Prowl doesn’t lose the meaning behind the numbers - that is what gives them importance. “I have to optimize numbers — the numbers are people, Jazz!”
Prowl, slumped/saddened: “Everyone is dying, and can’t stop it on my own.”
Loving Hound’s introduction
It may seem small/silly, but I love that Hound is both treating Prowl as his superior, but also is clearly happy to see him.
Organic-friendly Jazz my beloved <3
Ch. 28
Sideswipe and Sunstreaker! Loving their characterization too. They’re not Autobots yet…
Holy moly. The descriptions in that torture scene with Jazz are deep. The panic and waves of pain feel visceral.
Oooh that showing of the TacNet is so cool!!Ch. 35: “_watches Mirage breathe through the compliance coding”🥺
!!! And Mirage doesn’t even know!
Ch. 35
