    Summary

    Pharma is standing over his evening cube in the small fueling area, hands full of mineral supplements, when Ratchet slopes in, overcharged and smelling of oil and ozone.

    Ratchet leans against the prep counter. He's a wreck, even at first glance, his plating gaping and a smear of blue paint on the inside of his stark white thigh. Pharma looks down at his cube and sets it aside untouched.

    Ratchet's always had a reputation for blowing off steam. Everyone assumes Pharma minds. He doesn't know where they got that idea — he loves the way Ratchet comes home after he's been out for a joyride, mess and all.

    Summary

    Starscream has been found in critical condition after a fight with Megatron. It will be a very long road to recovery.

    How will he change under the Autobots care? How will the Autobots change with one of their worst enemies stuck in their medbay? How will the Deceptions manage without their Second in Command?

    Change is inevitable. Whether positive or negative, only time will tell.

    12/Sep/25 small update! I'm editing past chapters to fix my usage of "Raph" instead of Raf (sorry) and fix some terminology mistakes (fixing head to be helm and whatnot where I've made mistakes)

    Also, I've cemented a head cannon (first mentioned in the end notes of chapter 23) that Starscream uses Cybertronian time measurements, so I've made some small edits here and there to keep things consistent! Time keys can be found on multiple chapters from before I started implementing this as a part of the story, but I've added one to chapter 3!

    As this is my first fic, I have tried my best not to outright re-write things as I like seeing how far I've come :)

    Summary

    “You’ve never done this before,” Thundercracker said. “Have you?”

    Starscream’s optics darted away, his faceplates burning.

    “I have. I just—”

    “Starscream.” Thundercracker’s voice softened. “It’s not a crime to be inexperienced.”

    The cadet stiffened, refusing to meet their gaze.

    “… No. I haven’t.”

    ---

    Seeker cadets are expected to trine. Everything in their lives—career advancement, safety, normalcy, acceptance—depends on it.

    Starscream has a big mouth and an even bigger ego, and no such inclinations whatsoever.

    When he mouths off at his superiors, however, Lieutenant Thundercracker and Sergeant Skywarp realise he needs to be taught a lesson.

    AKA: Thundercracker and Skywarp teach Starscream how to use his mouth for something other than talking back.

     

    Military-Academy AU where Experienced!TC and Experienced!Warp teach Starscream everything he needs to know about interfacing.

    Summary

    It was just. Too coincidental for Starscream not to be suspicious. Megatron announces his plans for an inter-faction tournament, an idea, he claims, came to him only after hearing the Construction's reports on the renovation of the Pits a few days prior. One that definitely had nothing to do with a certain argument he had with Starscream that happened the previous day.

    Right. Sure.

    But Starscream could overlook all of that - albeit with a healthy dose of skepticism and doubt - if it weren’t for the victor’s reward.

    Or,

    On a Decepticon-ruled Cybertron, Megatron decides to host faction-wide tournament with a rather heavy-stakes prize on the line. Starscream is not too keen on this idea for several reasons.
