Oh, to Tighten My Hands Around the Waist of Something Violent by JupiterRainstorms

Summary
“But I’ve always wondered,” Overlord continues in his low croon, a veneer of false fondness like this is a game they’re both relishing in playing, “what might happen if those prisoners were rescued? Would they spend the rest of their waking moments waiting for the day their captors come back for them, torn hopelessly in two different directions? The unyielding certainty of a cage and the frailty of freedom.”
Or: the missing scene between Max's therapy session and the hostage situation in MTMTE #6

Familiar, Like Someone I Used to Be by JupiterRainstorms

Summary
Even so far removed from his old position, it’s still in Cerebros’ instinct to fix things, to smooth over any rough edges that he can. It’s gotten worse, now that his life has become so thoroughly entwined with two other lives, the threads of time sewn together here on Luna-1. It’s difficult to believe that there had once been millions of years before they met here. They all lived their own lives separate from each other—lives filled with hurts they’re still trying to find a way to live with.
That has perhaps been the hardest thing to come to terms with—there is so much Cerebros cannot fix. No matter how much he wishes he could, he can’t undo the violence that was inflicted on Max nor erase the pain he still carries from it; he can’t ease all of the terrors that have plagued Red Alert’s life. But he’ll be damned if he can’t try.

Summary
Overlord took a step back, really looking at Max for the first time, a sinister amusement playing across his face. “You got a little something there.” His thumb swiped across Max’s cheek, smearing the energon more than wiping it away.
Max glared at him. “Whose fault is that?”
“I thought you looked like you could use the assist.” Overlord gave a blithe shrug.
Or: Things go poorly for Max while working a case. Help comes from an unlikely source.

Summary
“I see it in you too, you know,” Jetfire said, earnest and without reservation. His hand raised slightly but he didn’t move to touch him again, honoring the distance Max had put between them. “So if you’re looking for good in the world, you won’t have to look far.”
It’s then that he allowed himself the weakness of looking away, giving a small laugh tinged with a bitterness that had only grown in him more and more as of late. He couldn’t imagine what it is that Jetfire saw in him, but it wasn’t goodness.

Summary
“It never is.” Maximus smiles weakly at him anyway, an expression only recently revived from the dead. “I get it. Just if you do ever want to be known? Or you want to know me? I’ll be around.”
The offer hangs in the air between them in solemn silence, something new and hopeful, something that might eventually grow its wings, something deserving of flight.
