    Summary

    The Arbiter's initial studies of human culture didn't happen after the Great Schism; he's figured out things about their species through long observation and plenty of patience. He'll acknowledge their new alliance gives him plenty of resources to fall back on when he doesn't understand something. Frankly, he doesn't get a LOT of the customs these people have.

    But it's good to increase his knowledge: as a curious Sangheili, he has many burning questions, ones he's harbored for years that ought to be answered at long last. There's only one problem he's got no hope of fixing.

    See, he REALLY wishes he could figure out if this 'bond' with his enemy-turned-ally is purely platonic, or he's instigated a serious courtship between them. Chief is being rude in not clearing up the matter but then again, the Arbiter is kind of shitty at clarifying what his questions are.

    Misunderstanding is in plenty but were it so easy to understand one another's intentions, then they'd never learn how to become each other's equal.

    So good. Fucking amazing. If I could inject a fic into my veins and then consume it for every meal after this I totally would.

    Summary

    Tony Stark would have to die. Doctor Stephen Strange had thought that it was the only way. But Thanos' utter stupidity forces a higher being to step in, and Stephen has the dubious honor of being their instrument. They have met before, after all.

    Summary

    Tony does the math and realizes their best chance to save the universe is by... not confronting Thanos on his own turf.

    So he steals a wizard and a spider and a space ship. And he runs.

    (Three humans and an A.I in space, the alien friendships they make along the way, and discovering how science and magic might coexist in a universe where they can be one and the same.)

    Summary

    Tony is getting tired of cleaning up the messes the other Avengers keep dumping in his lap, expecting him to deal with it all. They say change is healthy, but Tony wants to vehemently disagree when he finds himself alone and gravely injured in an abandoned bunker in one of the coldest places on Earth.

    Summary

    What if Megatron was part of the High Guard?
    Megatron, Captain of the High Guard and reigning Champion in the pits of Kaon, gets assigned to work for Prima Prime - He has a new, shiny prospect who needs a Guard, and who better to protect them than the relentless, fearless Megatron?

    The job is simple: protect Prima's prospect from harm.
    Easy enough since the peace treaty was signed with the Quintessans; the largest threat to Prima's precious prospect would be whatever paperwork the Prime's decide to throw at them...
    Megatron expects to be bored to tears by this assignment... but when he finally meets with the prospect he quickly realizes why they need protection.

    It's not so much protection from others that's needed, but more so protection from themselves - to Megatron's detriment.

    Orion Pax. Chaos-bringer. Troublemaker extraordinaire.
    Annoying little asshole who somehow knows exactly how to grind Megatron's gears.

    But no matter how hard Megatron tries, he can't help but enjoy Orion's company...

    Summary

    Twenty-three years of head-over-heels, devastating devotion and love, love, love for the man with bright eyes and dark hair. Fourteen years of friends, best friends, of always together. One moment of rejection.

    Nine years of apart. Nine years of heartbreak, nine years of continents away, of not speaking, of no acknowledgement, no interaction, no closure, no peace. No happiness. Nine years of Dean’s life entering motions, going through them, constant, cold and mechanic, like clockwork. Nine years of alone.

    God. Nine years. A lot has changed. And yet Dean still loves Cas just the same. Even if his heart hurts all kinds of different.

     

    On the day of Jimmy Novak's funeral, Dean sees Cas for the first time in nine years. He adored Castiel the moment he met him, at only four years old. But after fourteen years of friendship destroyed by one moment of heartbreak, and after nine years of silence, Dean is convinced Cas will want nothing to do with him. And it's killing him.

    Summary

    In death, there was no glory, no redemption, no salvation.

    Only darkness and ice—or that was what Tony thought. He closed his eyes in a Siberian bunker and opened them again on his 41st birthday, with War Machine flying into the distance.

    Summary

    Finally, against his better judgement, and having gone in circles for much too long, he blurted out, “Who is my soulmate?”

    The Witch looked disappointed, like he’d fucked up. Like he’d fucked up bad.

    But she answered anyway.

    “Mischief.”

    Derek stared at her, not understanding, because what? “That’s not a name,” he insisted.

    “Not exactly, no.” She offered him a small smile.

    “I don’t understand.”

    “You will.”

    Summary

    “Your flyboy has a point -” you say, snarling loud enough to hide the shaking in your voice “ I got a B- in chemistry. You want someone with a Ph.D. Why don’t you do us both a favor and finish killing me? Why don’t you go get the right human?!”

    “Because, fleshling, if this is how you react with your options whittled down to the nub-” the moonlight glints wickedly off his fangs as his grin twists into a full blown Cheshire cat smile “-then I believe we have found the right human.”

    Summary

    Having ended their civil war with a bang and a very belated peace treaty in their own universe, Optimus and Megatron find themselves in the TF:One timeline, before everything went wrong. Not wishing the same war on their young counterparts, they try their best to steer them towards a better path, before it's too late. It doesn't exactly go well. There might be a body count.

    World building heavy story where D-16 gets a mentor figure, writes a poem, chases after Orion to save him from himself (and from the Plot), has the worst month of his life and uncovers some of the Horrors hidden in Cybertron's history, not necessarily in that order.


    [I was just wondering… do you think there is a world out there where we don’t hurt each other? Even when we don’t mean to?]
    [We have ever honed and shaped ourselves along the sharpest edges of each other. It took us eight million years to wear those edges down into something that fit along the seams. It is how we are. If there is a world where that doesn’t hurt, I can’t imagine it.]

    Summary

    Imagine a highly specialized frame, streamlined to the smallest component. Balanced down to the most insignificant bolt, manufactured only from the purest alloys. Now mass produce seventeen thousand of them each vorn to maintain undisputed aerial supremacy over Praxus, forcing the latter to halt its production of flight frames altogether, because they could simply not keep up with the competition.
    These are the seekers, the elite guard patrolling Cybertron’s skies. Vos’ pride and joy.
    And they are not allowed to be anything but perfect.
    Those that fail to live up to perfection are disposable.
    And disposable seekers have only one place to go: the Sky Ballet.


    Or: Cybertron's society is built on pain and suffering from the lowest bloodsport to the pinnacle of performing arts. It takes Optimus too long to realize that this is by design.
