Summary
Optimus has watched Starscream, decepticon air commander and loyal (ish) second to the ruthless Megatron, die, approximately twenty times.
It's disturbing.
He doesn't like Starscream. Nobody likes Starscream. But Optimus doesn't enjoy seeing anyone pass away; it's the thing that constantly makes him hesitate to continue the war. If he were fighting for a lesser cause, he would have surrendered to end it and, in the process, end the continuous loss of life the fight cost.
-
Or, the one where Optimus gets stuck in a time loop that resets every time Starscream dies. A mech who remembers every time he's failed to save someone, and a seeker who is not only doomed to die, but is utterly insufferable.
What could possibly go wrong?

Summary
War taught Starscream how to fight, how to betray, how to survive—but peace offers him something he doesn’t know how to accept: forgiveness. It felt strange, living in a world where silence wasn’t just for hiding, where weapons weren’t always nearby, and where standing out in the open didn’t mean you’d get shot.
Cybertron had been changing ever since the peace treaty.
But Starscream couldn’t bring himself to change with it.
“If you stay rooted in one place, how can you see what the world has to offer?” Skyfire says, his words too gentle, too sweet.
“Change is uncertain. Sometimes it’s difficult, and you never know what you’ll have to go through just to make a small difference. But no matter how small—it’s still change. And that? That’s a treasure.”

Summary
“You’re dead. Are you an idiot? Go back to being dead.”
“Huh,” Optimus Prime – who is very much not dead – looks at Megatron like he’s the one being unreasonable. As if Megatron is the one who’s supposed to be dead and who's supposed to stay dead instead of haunting him like some…like a–
“Ghost,” Not Dead Prime says. “I think I’m a ghost.”
.
.
or: Optimus Prime played hero too hard and died saving Cybertron, trusting Megatron to pick up the pieces of their struggling people and lead them all into the future. Megatron thinks it'd be Pits of a lot easier without said Idiot Prime walking through his walls and knocking shit off his desk and asking, "hey, being dead is boring, mind saving the world and bringing me back to life?" -

Thundercracker has writer's block, but finds inspiration in the oddest of places.
