Summary
Instead of Starscream being the well-known and feared Second-In-Command of the Decepticons, he’s practically an urban legend among Autobots and Decepticons alike, only known through vague prisoner-of-war stories and scattered attributions of battle plans and weapon designs. Most mecha are of the opinion that this “Starscream” is a mere myth to make Megatron look more menacing, and others (notably the Autobot spec-ops) often make jokes about ‘Spooky Screamer’ whenever a particularly strange case pops up.
This changes when Jazz and his team uncover an abandoned Decepticon laboratory on Earth, only to find a dying seekerlet locked in its depths.
And thus, Starscream is no longer a myth.

Summary
Starscream hated the weather phenomena native to Earth. How couldn’t he? It was more surprising that anyone else tolerated it at all.
It was fickle, annoying, and infuriating. It cared not for anything in its wake, and sometimes, it seemed like it existed merely to make his life more difficult. . .
. . .What was it that he was talking about, again?

Or, five (give or take) days in the life of Starscream aboard the Ark, as told through conveniently diverse, totally-not-symbolic-at-all weather. Umbrellas sold separately.

Summary
In Starscream’s honest (and very humble) opinion, this was one of the worst days of his life.
And that’s against some very steep competition, you know! Millennia upon millennia of having the worst luck known to Cybertron and beyond really lends itself to a never-ending stream of horrible events that all culminate into an ever-present world-weariness and severe paranoia, all channeled into one (unfortunately small) seeker.
Today in particular, though, seemed to deviate from his usual pattern of bad luck, in the form of an irate Autobot.

Another tfp Starscream redemption fic, what more could you want? I don't take myself too seriously, so neither should you.
This is my first fic ever, so formatting advice, critique, and funny insults are encouraged.
(Title from The Fall by half•alive, which is a song I believe describes Starscream and any potential redemption of his quite well)

Summary
Orion Pax is now in Vos, trying his very best not to get maimed and/or assassinated during his visit while meeting up with his mate-to-be Prince Star—oh, what was that? No one can get ahold of Starscream long enough to facilitate a meeting? And his trine is helping him play keep-away with the royals of both polities?
Well, that sounds nice.

Summary
Starscream of Vos, entirely against his will, has been promoted to the crown prince and is next in line to become the Winglord after many an unfortunate circumstances had resulted in the rest of Lord Ozone’s next-of-kin to be rendered ineligible for the throne.
With any hope of a career in the sciences thoroughly dashed, Starscream is only further incensed by the revelation that, along with a title he never wanted, he is also expected to fix the long-simmering tensions between Vos and Iacon in the only method they’ve left to try: Political bonding.
Hopefully Starscream's trine can convince him to abstain from murdering his elected suitor long enough to avoid a planet-wide war.

Summary
He'd gotten away from the gilded cage that was Vos and made it to lower Altihex to start a new, scientifically minded life in the titan spaceport city of CAE-Ignatius. Never in Starscream's life would he imagine that the titan would take an interest in him as well.

Summary
Megatron’s figured out that Autobot Spec Ops’ main advantage is unpredictability. He sends his least reliable mecha after them to see if he can even the odds on that front. The Command Trine were not expecting get this assignment, nor were they expecting to be told to their faceplates that Megatron considered them his least reliable mecha. Starscream is pissed. Thundercracker is ambivalent. Skywarp is entertained. Spec Ops is… handling it.
