[Always By Your Side] by Lucbee_24
Fandoms: Transformers One (2024), Transformers - All Media Types
20 Feb 2026

Summary
This is a series of connected one-shots focusing on the developing relationship between Optimus Prime and Bumblebee during the war against the Quintessons and Decepticons.
Set in the Transformers One universe, post-movie. This is Opbee, a friends-to-lovers slice of life with action adventure. There will be some talk about the tragedies of war but not a lot. There will also be smut in later chapters.
Each chapter will be posted in chronological order, however, I do not write these in chronological order, so chapters will take some time. Warnings, tags, and a brief description will be included at the start of each chapter, so you know what to expect. The length of each chapter will also vary.
_____________[Chapter 2: Bringing The Primes Home]
Optimus, B-127, Elita and a team of Autobots return to the cave where the Primes died in order to bring them home to Iacon for a proper burial.
Tension rises amongst the main Autobots about B-127's place in the team and his friendship with their leader.

Summary
Orion Pax had been hurrying out of the Archive and back to his dock for his shift when an ancient artifact, propulsed by the explosion of Sentinel Prime (with a little too much speed to be completely believable, but then again, the Matrix of Leadership was known to do strange things to fundamental physics on occasion), sailed it's way from the Primal Palace Entrance and directly into his chestplates.
Primus, it seemed, had seen a chance to get a new, better Prime to serve his children in the explosive assassination of his unchosen Prime. There was Civil War to avert, and nothing short of the most optimal Prime would do.
The Matrix was a mysterious artifact for a reason. It also never was as powerful as when the very fate of Cybertron hung in the balance. Poised on the edge of the destruction of Cybertronian Civilisation, as it was then, as it had been back during the Quintesson Invasion, the Vessel of Primus could do miracles.

This is all slagging Hot Rod's fault! by fern_writes_stories
Fandoms: Transformers Generation One, Transformers - All Media Types
05 Feb 2026
Tags
Summary
Some idiot, who will NOT be named (Hot Rod), forgot to take their heat suppressants. As a result a third of the Autobot base has been triggered into the early stages of heat and Ratchet has a major headache from trying to employ damage control before it all hits full force.
One of the unlucky (or lucky, your pick) mechs about to go into heat is Optimus Prime. Even (un)luckier, Ratchet is the bot he asks to help him through it. Is the request out of convenience, or is it tied to their complicated past? A turbulant series of events follows as Optimus tries to navigate his rekindling crush for his best friend.
Additionally, The Matrix of Leadership is a terrible wingman.

Summary
Jazz is chosen as Prime after Optimus dies, leaving him saddled with the Matrix, navigating this new peace-treaty between three factions, and mourning the loss of his conjunx. The only benefit he has is unlocking the real secret of the Matrix: the inner realm where the sparks of all former Primes remain, including Optimus.
Dealing with gossipy, opinionated dead Primes with their own agendas is worth it to see Optimus again, but discovering Optimus (and the Matrix) left him a little Surprise changes everything. He can’t accept this future, a peaceful, blossoming society, without Optimus there with him, and he is going to get him back, even if he has to break the Matrix to do it.
He’s not raising his sparkling alone.

Summary
When a Sage of Primus is murdered in cold blood, the only detective for the job is Ex-enforcer Prowl and his co-worker (read: Assistant) Smokescreen. But as a mech shows up, seeming to fit the evidence perfectly, and layers upon layers of the case unravel, Prowl can't help but feel like something is going very wrong. There is a rot at the foundation of their society, and the hollow space it leaves behind allows even worse things to fester and grow. Jazz has to prove he didn't murder anyone, Prowl has to stop Jazz from running away, and the two have work together to solve the mystery.
Will Prowl's open secret finally be the ruin of him?
Will he catch the real killer?
Will Jazz stop flirting with him?
This and more on Iacon broadcasting corporation channel 5.
Tune in maybe Bi-weekly if I'm going crazy, once a month if not.

Summary
The High Council calls for order in a Functionalist society. The Decepticons call for freedom, to rip at the chains binding them. And caught between them is Optimus Prime, burdened with the Matrix of Leadership and the fate of Cybertron itself.
His commands are flawless. His strategies are unmatched by all but Megatron, his former friend. But as the war progresses, doubt spreads among his Autobots, and even to the Decepticons. Not of his leadership, but of the cause he serves.
For if Optimus Prime is the greatest of them, why does he seem so certain of the Council’s will?

More chapters will be made so long people want more, and if I get the urge to write this. Rest assured, my wonderful collaborators and I have IDEAS percolating and in the works.
Inspired by this piece of art on Twitter:
