Summary
The Autobots find a young injured sparkling, apparently abandoned on Earth. She doesn’t remember her name or who her creators are, although the fact that she looks like a pint-sized copy of Megatron means they’re pretty sure they know at least one of the answers to that question.
As far as Ratchet is concerned, the Decepticons have a hell of a lot of explaining to do.

“Thank You For Listening, Soundwave” by ckret2
Fandoms: Transformers - All Media Types, Transformers: Prime
14 Jul 2020
Tags
Summary
If he’d stopped to think about it beforehand, Soundwave would have expected that the hardest part of starting a mutinous conspiracy would be convincing himself that he wanted to help Starscream to overthrow Megatron. Certainly, convincing himself had been the slowest part. Convincing Shockwave had been much faster.
But no—it turned out that the trickiest bit was convincing Starscream that he wanted to overthrow Megatron.
After everything Starscream had been through, perhaps that wasn't surprising.
(Each chapter is standalone; ongoing continuity but no pre-planned plot arc/ending.)

Unworthy, Unprepared, and Unwilling to Lay Down and Die by Jadecomet
Fandoms: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
15 Apr 2026
Tags
Summary
A modern man wakes up in a cart with his hands bound, and instantly recognises both his surroundings and the fact that, given where he's seated, he's due to embark on a wildly dangerous adventure in just a few short minutes.
Given he has even less combat knowledge than this world's average teenager probably would, this could prove hazardous to his health.
A self-insert fic in which the author overthinks magic, the Thu'um, and how best to translate a video game world into something not constrained by levels and systems. Canon compliance will be attempted, but only to the extent that the author actually knows it (which is not much).
Update: between posting chapters 10 and 11, the author has had a trans realisation. This will also happen to the self-insert, it has been decided.

How to Find Home When You Have No Heart by Kylveris

Summary
Scaramouche supposed that a puppet bereft of its strings was never meant to last.
With nowhere else to turn, Scaramouche seeks the help of Mondstadt's Chief Alchemist and hopes he can be cured of his ailment before Albedo discovers he's a Harbinger.
"It is a shame that Barbatos did not find you first," Albedo thought aloud and Scaramouche tensed all over, bristling at the perceived insult to his Archon. Before he could retort, however, Albedo continued, "You could have been under freedom instead of servitude."
And Scaramouche didn't know what to say to that.

Summary
Durin gets pulled into a strange Ley Line anomaly and wakes up alone in a Teyvat he doesn’t recognize. He meets Scaramouche, thinking that it’s just some strange alternate timeline where Hat Guy is a Fatui Harbinger, but it’s only a matter of time before he learns that he’s actually been pulled into a past that the world should have forgotten.
He also ends up joining the Fatui, somehow, but that’s neither here nor there. The important part is that he needs the help of both Scaramouche and the Albedo of the past to help him solve his Ley Line problem… if he can get them to work together, that is.

Summary
“Pathetic,” he says, grinding his heel into the man’s temple. “You really thought you could take down the Raiden Shogun? You, a pitiful little worm?”
“Who- you-” the man chokes out. The Wanderer sneers down at him.
“Let me make one thing exceedingly clear, human,” he says. He leans his face closer to the man’s. “The only person allowed to kill Raiden Ei is me. And if any of you sniveling cockroaches get any ideas otherwise, I’ll kill all of you first.”When the Wanderer first stumbles across a group scheming to kill the Raiden Shogun, he gets rid of them. After all, his revenge is meaningless if some random human manages to kill Ei first. And when more groups begin cropping up, it's only natural that he destroys them too. There's just one issue: he's somehow managed to garner a reputation as... Raiden Ei's protector?

Summary
For the record, Ajax was not at all opposed to being sent on missions as another Harbinger's backup. As long as he was given things to fight and the rest of the tasks were not excruciatingly boring to get through, Tartaglia would comply without issues.
The actual mission, the actual tasks, the actual experience of being the backup was not the issue here.
The issue was-...He was the only Harbinger being tasked with things like these. The only Harbinger being designated as backup. The only Harbinger being treated like a class below the rest.
(Because Tartaglia was rash and reckless and could not be trusted to keep himself safe.
Tartaglia was to be looked after like an unpredictable rabid animal that only behaved under certain conditions.Tartaglia was off.)
---
Or, Childe struggles to understand why the Tsaritsa insists on treating him differently from the other Harbingers, and tries to pretend like his affiliations aren't irrevocably shifting towards the mysterious god he meets in Liyue.

Summary
Thirty years ago, Vox and Alastor were inseparable. That was then. In the now, the only time they talk at all is to hurl insults during their Brawl of the Week.
Following Charlie’s unfortunate visit to Valentino’s studio, Vox goes the hotel to do some damage control. But when Alastor's attempt at meddling reveals still raw wounds, the two rivals are left to grapple with long-buried emotions after the fallout of their parting is thrown in their faces.
But Hell cares little for the personal drama of Overlords, and just as Vox and Alastor are considering their futures, moves are made, new enemies make themselves known, and Vox finds himself thrown into the center of it all. The fight has begun and no one is prepared for what lurks beneath the surface—watching, waiting, and preparing to strike.

Summary
In one glorious half-hour, Alastor has broken or completed three contracts, freed himself from two separate forms of bondage, and enjoyed a rousing jaunt through nearly half the Pentagram. Incidentally, he may also have shattered Vox’s psyche and his heart. But you know what they say about making omelettes; that was a price he was prepared to pay.
He is less prepared to be personally tasked with unscrambling the eggs.
(A post-canon fix-it following the S2 finale and the events of They Could Have Been Worse.)

Summary
The Might of Lilith explodes and Vox has a front row seat to the destruction he has wrought.
Except he's not dead. He's alive in his office and watching Charlie Morningstar's disastrous interview live on screen, exactly one year before Pentagram City is reduced to ash.
He can work with this. All he has to do is stay away from that stupid hotel for a year and everything will be fine.
Unfortunately, a certain Radio demon has opinions about his old pal ignoring his return.

Summary
The dust has settled after the finale. The buildings have been restored overnight (by themselves, surely), everyone who hasn't died is alive, and everything is better for everyone forever. There is literally no baggage left, and everyone is absolutely, definitely, totally fine.
Or at least this is true if you ask Alastor! Who is definitely the most fine of them all.
