    Summary

    Optimus has watched Starscream, decepticon air commander and loyal (ish) second to the ruthless Megatron, die, approximately twenty times.

    It's disturbing.

    He doesn't like Starscream. Nobody likes Starscream. But Optimus doesn't enjoy seeing anyone pass away; it's the thing that constantly makes him hesitate to continue the war. If he were fighting for a lesser cause, he would have surrendered to end it and, in the process, end the continuous loss of life the fight cost.

    -

    Or, the one where Optimus gets stuck in a time loop that resets every time Starscream dies. A mech who remembers every time he's failed to save someone, and a seeker who is not only doomed to die, but is utterly insufferable.

    What could possibly go wrong?

    Summary

    Soundwave is the Decepticons' most loyal soldier and a devoted caretaker to Starscream’s hybrid sparklings, but his stoic visor hides a hopeless pining for the volatile Seeker General. Between managing domestic chaos and navigating Megatron’s toxic command, Soundwave has kept his devotion a silent frequency.

    However, when Skywarp decides to write a "better" fanfic starring Soundwave and his "shiny red aft" obsession, the communications officer’s private secrets are about to be broadcast to the entire ship.

    Summary

    Summary

    Starscream trusted his Trine.

    He trusted them more than he trusted Megatron, more than he trusted the war, more than he trusted the fragile, flickering hope he still carried in his spark. Skywarp and Thundercracker were supposed to be his constants—his sky, his wings, his home.

    They were not.

    One moment of weakness. One confession. One truth shared in quiet, trembling vulnerability—and they handed it all to Megatron like an offering.

    Starscream doesn’t remember when his world truly shattered. Perhaps it was when Megatron looked at him differently. Perhaps it was when the whispers began. Or perhaps it was when he realized that the only ones he had ever trusted had never been his at all.

    So Starscream disappears.

    Megatron calls him a coward. A traitor. Says he ran.

    But the truth is far uglier.

    Because Starscream is not alone.

    And the two fragile, impossible miracles at his side will do anything to keep him safe.

    Even if it means kneeling before the monster who broke him.
