Summary
At one point or another, he came to understand that despite the violence their species was eternal; this war was eternal. Dying, at this point, was the only real way to escape its torments. Every cycle, Syzoth prayed that Primus — or, pit, even Unicron at this point, he’s not particularly picky — would manifest out of nowhere and just end his misery already.
His prayers had almost been answered. Before the Autobots found him, that is.
Saved from the brink of death, Syzoth must contend with what is next for him in life—if there even is anything. He’s factionless, imprisoned, and without a transformation cog.
Then, the Autobot Lightrunner offers an… unexpected opportunity.

Summary
Perhaps it’s selfish, but when she looks at this beaten Decepticon, want courses through her spark. Maybe this mech was similar to her, and he’d also deserted after realizing he was fighting for the wrong side. If that’s the case, and the Autobots accept him as their own, Lightrunner could connect with him. They could be friends.
Unless, of course, he didn’t want that.
Two bots destined for one another meet for the first time, in an Autobot prison cell.

Summary
Mileena can count on her fingers the number of times she’s actually been to the palace’s medical wing. In all those instances, the building had been relatively serene. For the sake of patients attempting to sleep, or families meeting with their dying loved ones for final moments, the rule of silence in the halls is stricter than every one of Outworld’s libraries.
So, it rattles the empress, when she steps into the medical halls and hears screams.
During a grueling attack on the palace, Tanya and Syzoth are severely injured, leaving their respective lovers to navigate what follows.

Summary
Which is worse — who you really are, or who you’d hoped you’d be?
Or; Hakuri was born with the words you okay carved on the inside of his right arm. When Chihiro was seven months old, the words what I need in my life is a samurai appeared on his skin. Somehow, it ended up being a lot more complicated than it had to be.

Summary
“Hakuri.” Chihiro was frowning. Oh, had he been saying something? “Are you alright?”
Wow, Chihiro was such a great friend. Hakuri was pretty lucky. He should tell him that he was fine — just great — peachy keen, even!
What Hakuri said instead was, “You’re hot.”

Summary
When he wakes up, it’s with only one memory — his name, Hakuri. Everyone around him says that the cause of his strange affliction is rooted in sorcery, but maybe it’s the swordsman who keeps vigil at his bedside that’s the key to getting back what he lost.

Summary
He’s twenty now, far too old to be carried even if he could. Chihiro’s heart wells in his throat at the reminder there was a definitive last time he kicked his legs over his father’s shoulder, the last time he hugged him, the last time they sat at the table together with two empty chairs and all the warmth in the world between them, laughing and catching up like they didn’t see each other every hour of the day.
— — —
Chihiro hasn't returned home for half a decade, but with Hakuri by his side, he thinks he can finally face it.
