Summary
7 million years ago, the latest blow to gender on Cybertron is dealt by the rising Functionist tide, stirring an Arcee struggling with loneliness and aesthetic dysphoria into enraged action to help bots in the Hadean System across the aesthetic spectrum save their transformative glory and stories… in the process, she finds aid from the scientist Jhiaxus, who also offers xem a new reformatting surgery to let her spark do shaping with CNA editing help. Thus begins a new chapter in her life as a founding member of the expansion of what would later be called the Anti-Vocation League alongside her beloved partner and fellow old person Codexa, while grappling with her own growing pile of pains and traumas. As the millennia carry on and she heads to space, xey eventually meets Anode and Lug in the stars, and some dear moments near the present all the way through to events after Transformers: Optimus Prime #25: Post… where she helps some gender expansive bots, and with help from Aileron and xeir pals she finally gets some answers and closure to xeir own self, and has a reckoning with forces pitted against her for millions of years. The years after are not what she expected during most of her life prior, and xey is glad for them…

Summary
"You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.""Wild Geese" - Mary Oliver
...
It was obvious Ratchet was joking with that last part—a very bad joke, but it made sense. And now, everything made sense, to the point where he could only focus on how a joke in such poor taste made sense, and not on how awful it was.
The cryptic comments. their apparent inability to follow the most basic rules. their blatant disregard for authority. their erratic and outright strange behavior. Their indifference. Those wildly out-of-place remarks.
Because these mecha—
Oh, for the Allspark.
Blurr stared at nothing in particular as he realized something else.
This ship didn’t just have a Decepticon.
No, it contained the only kind of lunatic who would take a Decepticon into their ship and let them be a medic.
He was trapped with a crew of war veterans.
A bunch of war-worn pariahs.

Summary
The way I thought the ending of Lost Light could've gone. (no shade to Jro cuz the actual last few pages of LL25 go kinda well with Redemption by Rossano Galante, one of my chosen songs for this fic; you'll see when you read the pre-fic note)
(B'sides, the (main) title is a play on the actual issue's title.)

“Find something?” Lug asked, peering over her shoulder.
“Think so,” Anode said, puzzled. “There’s a spark signature on these- like the Necrobot’s spark flowers. But why-?”
Anode glanced up, and the message written out on Luna-1 hit her like a smack to the face.

Summary
She was fully bare, blue optics illuminating her face, and acting as the one source of color against the rest of her form. Her new form, freshly rebuilt. Unfamiliar kibble, new curves, a different silhouette, and the same loveable expressions on her face.

Summary
On Cybertron...what am I even saying? Lug's not on Cybertron! She's with the Wreckers. Now, she's going to board a shuttle that's going to Cybertron in about a few cycles, but right now, she's on the Vis Vitalis with the Wreckers. Quite honestly, she's tired. She hasn't had a moment to rest for about a megacycle, and she hasn't talked to Anode in a pretty long time. So, right before she goes to recharge, she sends her sparkmate this one text wall of a message. Don't worry, she does it all the time.

Summary
As Anode or Lug, you are taking steps in a galaxy following a reconciliatory Autobot victory in Autobot-Decepticon-Unicron wars, to help rebuild and make something new, both for society and yourselves, reconnecting with family and friends you were away from due to the war, transforming the world and each other together, and rekindling love in such reforging of and for peaceful autonomy, addressing old wounds.... We wrote 2 excerpts set at different points in dating sim style for this story, one from Anode's perspective meeting with Windblade and Proxima on Cybertron early in the story to start restoration, and one from Lug's on the Lost Light supporting Rodimus's surgery including by helping her partner Drift with advice on how to support Roddy, This story is very much about finding the Forge of Solus Prime in oneself and the people around you. The Ao3 release has been edited for typos I missed.
Also, our dear friend Spashahoney did an incredible art piece attached to this story (both are in the zine Transform & Go Out With Me!)! It shows other characters on dating routes, which include Chromia, Yellow Splendid Convoy, Lodestar or Lightbright, Muzzel, Spacewarp, Marissa Faireborn, and the Mistress of Flame!

Summary
“At least it can't get any worse!” Rodimus finished his sentence.
“NOOOOOO” Swerve wailed.
Rodimus nearly jumped out of his plating as Swerve fell to his knees, clutching his helm.
“WHAT??” Rodimus asked panicked.
“You can't say that! When we said that last Drift got his arm blown off!” Swerve pleaded.
Megatron scoffed. Heads turned to look at him.
“Nothing but a coincidence. Everything will be f-”
“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!”
“-ine.”

Summary
Lug’s never really thought about it before. They never had to; it simply wasn’t in their nature. They were the ‘unfun’ one, always chiding people for being careless and not thinking things through. They prefer to be more pragmatic about things, laying down the facts and choosing carefully. They’re not wily and passionate quite the way Anode is.
But slowly, they’ve started to see the fun in rushing into things. They’ve stopped caring so much about the little details, exasperated and fond blended together in a way that makes their spark flutter. Only Anode. It’s only ever been Anode that makes the impossible feel real, tangible. It’s always, always Anode.
