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
First Aid re-entered the room, looking down at the datapad that had the results from the scans he’d just performed.
He looked up at them, gave a little nod and said, “Well, you’re correct. Congratulations, you’ve sparked.”
And with that Tailgate all but lost it, jumping up onto the berth like it was some kind of bouncing rubber instead of solid metal. He was clinging to Cyclonus’ hand with one of his own, rocking on the balls of his pedes.
“We’re sparked!” Tailgate exclaimed. “Did you hear that Cyclonus, we’re having a sparkling!” His hand goes to his chest plate patting it, “Just think, we didn’t know it could happen so fast and now we’re got a little spark in here right beside mine, and when she’s grown we’ll get–”
“Excuse me,” First Aid cut into Tailgate’s very effusive declarations, “I didn’t say you were the Carrier, Tailgate.”
--------
Cyclonus and Tailgate followed all the advice and wisdom for having the perfect sparkling, only for it not to go the way they planned. It's fine, their third Whirl thinks this is all hilarious and they are sure their sparkling will still be just what they wanted.

Summary
The new Prime may as well have been slagging Primus himself with how he was going on performing miracle feats and yet still managing to skip out in just enough time to avoid being caught by any Con units in the area.
Which made him a curiosity and Meister sure did love teasing out curiosities.
And so maybe he did let himself get noticed on a camera or two. And maybe he didn’t get out as fast as he could have. He would give credit to the little minibots that caught up to him, they sure gave him a workout and almost were able to follow him through the ventilation system! Sure, the one got stuck on his back kibble, but hey, it was the effort that counted, right?
He hadn’t let them catch him, but he maybe hadn’t worked as hard as he could have to leave. Because he knew it would get him closer to where he wanted to be.
Sitting in an interrogation room with Prowl hadn’t been that ‘where,’ but it was getting closer and closer.

Summary
“Ready to call it?” Blaster asked with a smirk. “Now that we’ve shown everyone how to throw down.”
“Oh we ain’t done yet,” Jazz refused, and then spun around towards their captive audience, hands going wide. “Can’t disappoint our friends looking for a show on Unity Day, can we?”
“Disappointment: failure to commit to full triple flip and settling for a double. Partner lacking in proper momentum.”
Then the music cut off.
Jazz froze. Bots around him froze. Optics were turned to look at the imposing figure standing there, arms crossed, the least impressed that Jazz had ever seen him. Some of the mechs had less than amused looks on their faces, others looked concerned and wary. Not sure where this was going, Jazz would bet. Jazz wasn’t right sure where, either. With the way Rumble and Frenzy had been sending them death glares all night, he’d figured Soundwave would have stayed away and gotten out as soon as he could.
Instead, he pulled this.

Summary
So you want me to spy on the Prime’s youngling, is that it?”
“Sure, if that’s what…ya need to call it…to feel better ‘bout it,” Ricochet shrugged, venting.
“Just watch them,” Ratchet’s voice echoed with a rumble of his engine. “Ricochet trusts you to keep those little scraplets out of trouble and we need someone who isn’t going to enable them with the others. Keep an optic and report back to me, if you’re too worried about talking to Prime. He’ll be in debriefings the whole slag shift anyway.”
Drift wanted to refuse again. But reporting to Ratchet…didn’t sound like such a bad thing. Not that Drift would say that out loud. So instead he just let out a huff and a vent.
Ratchet’s engine rumbled again and Minerva took the cue to transform next to him, ready to follow. “Thanks, kid.” And they were gone.
Just like the little scraplets Drift was supposed to be following.
Slag.

Summary
Somehow, some way, Sunstreaker and Sideswipe keep ending up in situations where they have to cooperate with or, even worse, find common ground, with the Decepticons Elite Trine. And it always comes back to that time they were trapped in an abandoned underground city together.
Sunstreaker doesn't know why this keeps happening, but one of these days he really is going to kill one of them.
Except Thundercracker. Maybe he can live.

TF Rare Pairs 2024 by Kattli (Kathrine)
Fandom The Transformers (IDW Generation One), Transformers - All Media Types, Transformers One (2024), Transformers: Cyberverse
27 Oct 2024
Summary
These are all of my fics for the TF RarePairing Fest 2024. Majority of them aren't connected to each other, but some of them will exist in the same story-verse just because I can. I prefer to post each fic individually instead of as a chaptered piece. Most of these are a bit raw and unpolished as I'm writing and sharing for the Fest then I'll be going back and doing a better proofread and cleaning them up after the Fest is over!
I'll be writing a different ship for each prompt I do and the ship for the prompt is randomized so your guess is as good as mine what's coming out of this.

Summary
After Jazz suffers an injury in the field, he's forced to navigate an entirely new kind of battle as a new, somewhat untrained saboteur, struggling with the reduced functionality in his leg and a crew made up of shut-in scientists and new recruits. Early into his first mission, he will discover a regime cruel enough to make mesh crawl... and have to use everything at his disposal (and then some) to thwart Megatron's best intelligence officer.
...
"There are an infinite number of things I could attempt to warn you about. Unfortunately, much of spying is defined by decisions you make in moments that span kliks… so you may not have time to recall what I tell you, regardless.” Mirage sighs. “It is necessary that you immerse yourself completely in your story. Know who you are. If you act as that version of yourself in perpetuity and maintain a perfect confidence in your false motive— you will be surprised at how easy it is to lie. People trust their immediate assumptions. The assuredness of your gait, or even just the implication that you belong, is enough… so long as the enemy is given that first impression that you belong in their sphere. You must wield perception itself as your weapon.” -

Summary
The more things change, the more things stay the same.
Or
They were found abandoned in Kaon. Left behind, unwanted, made to fend for themselves. Then, they were found, and brought away from the alleys and streets. They gained a home, and safety, and more importantly than anything else, a family. They grew, and the war ticked on. Things may have changed as the vorns passed by, but not as much as they thought. Because no matter what else changed , they had their family.
Or
Family, through the vorns of war. In all the ways it changed, in all the ways it remained the same.
(Jazz and Optimus wouldn’t change it for anything.)

Summary
Megatron is locked in the basement and his Decepticons are rebuilding Cybertron under Autobot leadership. It's a damn powder keg. The language barrier isn't helping either.
Optimus gets a little help from the monster in the basement. Bumblebee gets a little conniving. Prowl gets very frustrated. And the Decepticon workers get themselves some nice civil rights

Summary
For Sideswipe, finding out he has a brother was one thing. Finding out said brother is his split-spark twin was another. Finding out that said split-spark twin was forged before the War of the Threefold Spark while Sideswipe wasn’t due to stigmas against split-sparks, which left Sideswipe’s spark locked away for megacycles while Sunstreaker fought in a war…? Yeah, Sideswipe has some feelings about that and would like to share them with someone, thanks. Unfortunately, Sunstreaker doesn’t seem interested in getting to know his younger twin brother.
Or: Sideswipe meets Sunstreaker, the twin he never knew he had but who he should have been with their whole lives. It goes about as well as he expected and worse than he’d secretly hoped.
