  • Trampled Butterflies

    When MECH tampers with the past in an attempt to gain an advantage over the future, the present is thrown wildly out of balance. The Autobots and the kids must find each other again before they are erased from existence entirely. Throw in some superstitious peasants, four warring tribes of Cybertronians, and a power-hungry magistrate, and you've got the makings of an adventure!

  • The Adventure of the Spider's Web

    (Human AU) Renowned philanthropist and lover of books, Lord Optimus of the house of Prime did not expect that the appearance of his secretary and a young paperboy on his doorstep on foggy London evening would herald the return of an old enemy and catalyze a chain of events leading to a darker villainy in the shadows of the city.

  • Return of the Reality Bill

    In which Ardent Aspen takes sick again, and honestly has no business typing anything right now. It's not liable to be that sane.

  • Sculptor's Gambit

    The War was over and Cybertron had been restored...but that didn't mean that everything was perfect. No, perfect was for Iacon. When a shadowy mech with a grudge started leaving murdered Decepticons around town, a rookie Enforcer found himself in over his head faster than he expected. There's a reason mechs don't go out after dark in Slaughter City.

  • Masterforce: Animated (2015 Reboot)

    as requested by Brave Kid, this is a reboot of the original (I recommend reading Gage39's story, btw). When Jetstorm's careless actions land Sari, Bumblebee, Jetfire and himself in a parallel world in unfamiliar bodies, it falls to the Autobot Pretenders and Godmasters to find a way to send them home before the Decepticons can intervene!

  • Tales from the Wild Side

    In connection to "Prime: Beast Saga", here are a series of one-shots involving scenes that never made it into the main story. Here you'll find backstories, the occasional introspective, and some just plain fun stuff.

  • Flying into the Snare

    (Rapidfyrez's "Station S-6-S" challenge has been cancelled, so this story is no longer going to feature that plot.) He knew it had been a foolish plan to begin with. The Cybertronians had made it perfectly clear that they were not willing to share the inhabitants of Earth. But Astyanax didn't question orders and shipped out with the rest of them. And now they were going to die.

  • Last Lullaby

    How far would you go to save someone you loved? What price would you pay to protect your family? Your mind? Your soul? (I've taken the "out of left field" arc from "Mirrors" and finally organized it into a cohesive group! There's a little bit of new content here and there, but the plot is the same.)

  • And the Damage Done: Aftermath

    How do you pick up the pieces after the world ends? Based on the RiD, MTMTE, and Dark Cybertron finale, five short pieces dealing with the days coming after. (Note: this work is written in its entirety by Beri, Aspen's sister. It's her first published story! :D )

  • A Very Human Convention

    "What do you mean, you don't have a middle name?" A game of Truth or Dare leads to an unexpected discovery, and once again the Autobots are amazed at the oddity of some human traditions.
