Summary
He did not trust his own files and all others were gone with the city-state that had claimed them. He did not know how long ago it may have been. Decavorn or many many times that. Once his spark and name had occupied the most powerful cityformer frame in the southern hemisphere. It was a great height from which to fall.

Bluestreak's (Totally-Not-Decepticon) PenPal by Mertisal
Fandoms: Transformers - All Media Types, Transformers Generation One
29 Jun 2025
Tags
Summary
Bluestreak is lonely. It's hard, being one of the only Praxians left. His adoptive creators try their best to be with him, but Jazz and Prowl are busy running the war, and the Decepticons aren't making it any easier.
But then, while recovering from some injuries, he gets a strange--and wonderful--message that another Praxian wants to exchange data-letters with him! Finally, he can have a steady friend and someone that will understand what it's like to have lost you entire home.
And his new penpal totally isn't Thundercracker, who isn't also painfully lonely and feeling particularly doubtful about the Decepticon cause. No, no, it's not Thundercracker, because that would be ridiculous. Right?

To Fight Aliens, We Domesticated Other Aliens by Anonymous
Fandoms: Transformers - All Media Types, Pacific Rim (Movies)

Summary
“Nice shot, man!” Jazz yells, Bebop’s speakers carrying his voice.
The mech blinks at him and scowls. Which, wow, okay, it has a face. Mouth, eyes, a nose—the works. Well, one of the eyes isn’t lit up, but still. It can blink! Jazz couldn’t even get the clearance to have Bebop’s visor display emojis, and not for the lack of trying. Meanwhile, this guy gets a whole, expressive face and—holy shit, are those teeth?
———
Inspired by the wonderful AU keferon's cooked up. Go check them out on tumblr.

Summary
"You're a space wizard, Murderbot. You'll hate it. It'll be great." - The Force, probably
If Murderbot ever proves the Force is sentient, it will plot to murder the shit out of the Force.
So maybe I should’ve noticed I had bullshit magic powers sooner, but in my defense I didn’t think magic was real. Most sane people would insist magic isn’t real.
Wait, whoops, the ghosts would claim it’s not magic. It’s “the Force” (in case you’re wondering, yes, you can hear the capitalization), and I’m a “Force-sensitive” which means I’m able to manipulate the mysterious, supernatural (but definitely not magical) force that a bunch of old dead monks decided to name the Force. (Not that I’m making fun of their naming sense. It’s apt even if it must’ve gotten confusing sometimes.)
