    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...

    Ch. 1: Fun concepts already! I like the thought of Transformers enjoying holidays and protecting college students
    Ch. 3 Transformers mixing up texting speech in a silly way
    Ch. 8: Ohhhh I love this chapter
    Ch. 19’s the start of something interesting
    Ch. 22 uh ohhhhh

    Neat story with a sweet conclusion:)

    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 bored

    Ooh, 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

    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.)

    <3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3
    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 neat

    Love 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 kindness

    The 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

    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?”

    Ohhhhhh how I love this story. Soundwave is such a stinker and gremlin, I love him.

    The characterization and growth as a whole is incredible!!
    And! I like the general idea of the Lost Light going on cross dimensional adventures, potentially picking people up along the way. Especially since these alternate dimensions can be other fandoms / TF things.
    The concept of biolights flashing/changing to indicate mood/emotions/nonverbal signals is neat :)
    Ohhh the events and emotions of ch. 10 are amazing!!
    Amazing Soundwave headcanons! I love the idea Laserbeak used to literally be part of him.
    Aaaaaa ch. 12 is probably one of my all-time favorites. The conversations and realizations and emotions are incredible.
    Amaaaazing characterization development, wow. (The Irradion chapter set)
    Ch. 35’s Decepticon meeting is beautiful
    Chapters 44 & 45 are SO. GOOD.

    Summary

    Following the arrest of the Drs Fenton, Bruce takes Danny home as his newest ward. It's nothing he hasn't done before.

    Danny presents some unique challenges - his inhuman physiology, his parents' in-progress trial, the scope and magnitude of his abilities - but he's still a child like any other. Any of Bruce's, anyway.

    Really neat new take on this crossover! I like how Danny and the bats are working together, and are (more or less) freely sharing information. It’s a refreshing new take.

    Cool wail and sparring stuff in Ch. 23

    I particularly like Ch. 24’s Never Have I Ever game scene & the interactions in Ch. 52<3
    Ch. 63 is so adorable, I love the interaction around learning to have physical affection’
    First paragraph of Ch. 65🥺
    XD Dick’s perspective at the start of Ch. 66 is a much-needed treat and understanding of reality lol
    (!!!!!)Ch. 89

    Ch. 91 🎶ding, dong, the witch is dead🎶
    Ch. 93
