Idiosynthesize

Title: No Where I'd Rather Be
Fandom: Transformers
Rating: PG
Word Count: 879
Characters: Rodimus, Drift
Summary: Directly following LL 25, so spoilers. Life moves on. And sometimes it moves a little bit easier with a friend.

( Alternate universes don't matter! )

I've wanted to write this since I saw that panel at the end of the Annual but didn't get my hands on the issue until a month ago. Very much not a fix-it fic. A companion piece of sorts to The Weight of My Mistakes.

Title: It's What Breaks Me
Fandom: Transformers IDW
Rating: PG-13
Warning: mind violation/memory manipulation and implied dub-con due to that
Word Count: 1813
Characters: Blast Off, Onslaught, Vortex, Swindle, Brawl
Summary: Set before the Combaticons' final panel in TAAO Annual. Blast Off's actions become known.

( If I knew you were that easy to buy off, I woulda tied down and drugged him up for you eons ago )

Man, where do I even start with this? I had aimed to do another horror thing in the same vein as What Waits in the Dark and, while trying to decide what exactly I should do, remembered the Inquisitor from Red Dwarf while at the same time having one of my favorite Clive Barker stories, Dread, in the back of my mind and decided to mix the two together. It was going to be short, simple and fun to write.

Almost a year and over 23k words later, I've finally bullied out the last of it. It is such a relief to kick this out of my WIP folder. Now complete, I'm linking to my AO3 for ease of reading.

Also this is very likely going to be my last playing around in Destruction-verse. I love these characters dearly and I'm not normally concerned with not adhering to canon (especially in this fandom), but I think I've told all the stories I can with them. I'm sure I'll do more Transformers stuff and Wreckers are never far from my giant alien robot thoughts but for now: after all the torture I've done them, I think they deserve a rest.

Title: The Mind-Killer
Fandom: Transformers
Rating: PG-13 if not higher
Word Count: 23438
Characters: Springer, Roadbuster, Whirl, Broadside, Sandstorm, Topspin, Twin Twist, Scoop, Xantium
Warnings: PTSD, emotional trauma, mind manipulation, violence, past abuse, some violence/death
Summary: Separated, alone, and unarmed, the Wreckers are each faced with their worst fears. And not all of them will make it out on their own.

The Mind-Killer

I apparently can't write short things anymore. And probably shouldn't be thinking up titles on four hours of sleep.

Title: Sword of Damocles (The Price You'll Pay)
Fandom: Transformers
Rating: PG-13 for violence
Word Count: 2303
Characters: Onslaught, Megatron, Combaticons
Summary: Five times Megatron used the loyalty program to humiliate Onslaught. (Five times Onslaught defied the programming.)

( he'd always been so proud, even after his ambition left his team with nothing and Megatron remembered this well )

Six years later and I am now 40% done with this meme. I'm not even going to pretend to know what direction I was going for when I wrote this. You could say I was... lacking navigation. Also despite some (speculative) IDW references, still firmly in Destruction-verse.

Title: Darker Paths
Fandom: Transformers
Rating: PG-13 for violence and death
Word Count: 2037
Characters: Springer, Hound
In Response to: 10_whores by mommimus_prime, prompt: Hound + navigation
Summary: Hound is asked to use ops protocols he hasn't run for a long time.

( Hound stepped over the slightly twitching body and didn't give it another thought. )

Merry Christmas! Have a fic dump of all the things I've completed but haven't put up for reasons I can't exactly remember. Maybe quality control, I dunno. Hilariously, of course, about half of these are depressing. So, y'know, HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Title: A Matter of Timing
Fandom: Transformers
Rating: PG
Word Count: 694
Characters: First Aid, Topspin
Summary: Sequel to Do No Harm. Things don't go any better the second time around.

( Medics cannot afford breakdowns- especially not in front of patients. )

Technically this is the last Collide thing I have written but tomorrow I'm going to toss up a couple of snippets I have just for the hell of it.

Title: You and I Collide: As Quick as I Can
Fandom: Transformers
Rating: PG
Word Count: 812

Title: This Mess You Made
Fandom: Transformers
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 838
Characters: Wreckers, Aerialbots
Summary: Repost. The consequences.

( By the way Fireflight’s shoulders jerked Sandstorm knew he heard him, but he didn’t stop. )

Title: You and I Collide: Denial Calling
Fandom: Transformers
Rating: PG
Word Count: 986
Characters: Sandstorm, other Wreckers, Fireflight at the tail end
Summary: I-don't-remember-if-this-is-a-repost. There's obliviousness and then there's just plain obstinate.

( When was the last time Sandstorm ever gave you guys anything? )

Thought I posted this earlier. Guess not...

Fandom: Transformers

( Sandy’s always trying to get that big, bright smile out, isn’t he? )
