    Summary

    Starscream does what he must to get his work done.

    Including: kidnapping Skyfire, convincing Skyfire to commit a minor act of betrayal, and getting caught by Autobots…to get closer to Skyfire.

    Or, Starscream has a hard time focusing on his work recently and blames Skyfire meanwhile his trine questions their morals.

    (Think of this as a trine redemption fic with a side of SkyStar and you'll be happy)

    Title is from the concept of "Body Doubling". Body Doubling: a technique used to increase focus and motivation where an individual does their work in the presence of another.

    Summary

    Starscream has been found in critical condition after a fight with Megatron. It will be a very long road to recovery.

    How will he change under the Autobots care? How will the Autobots change with one of their worst enemies stuck in their medbay? How will the Deceptions manage without their Second in Command?

    Change is inevitable. Whether positive or negative, only time will tell.

    12/Sep/25 small update! I'm editing past chapters to fix my usage of "Raph" instead of Raf (sorry) and fix some terminology mistakes (fixing head to be helm and whatnot where I've made mistakes)

    Also, I've cemented a head cannon (first mentioned in the end notes of chapter 23) that Starscream uses Cybertronian time measurements, so I've made some small edits here and there to keep things consistent! Time keys can be found on multiple chapters from before I started implementing this as a part of the story, but I've added one to chapter 3!

    As this is my first fic, I have tried my best not to outright re-write things as I like seeing how far I've come :)

    Summary

    Daud doesn’t believe in luck or coincidences. Nor is he particularly devout – the Seven Strictures are uncomfortably cultish – and likewise is not especially heretical, despite the Outsider’s mark on the back of his left hand. But if there is one thing he believes in, it’s the hand of the enigmatic little shit who rules the place beyond the physical world.

    Daud, Corvo, Emily. An understanding is tentatively reached. The coup, redux.

    Summary

    The kids don't just scratch the game - they break it, forcing it to eject them back into reality. However, it doesn't send them back home.

    The four humans find themselves scattered on Alternia, and it's not even the Alternia they had been told about. Their troll friends are there, but they're not the same.

    Even staying alive long enough to find each other again might be easier said than done.

    It didn't matter how many times he had to go through the day. Semper fi. Jason would keep going until he got every one of them out alive.
