    Summary

    Ryland Grace wakes up, goes to work, feels the rain on his face, teaches his students, cries over the galaxy, and dreams about a rock.

    Wait.

    What's that last one all about?

    There is a feeling in the back of his head like he's forgetting something. Is he forgetting something?

    Is he forgetting something again?

    Summary

    After that disastrous day in Iacon Optimus discovers that Sentinel's spark survived. Spurred on by the Matrix and his natural compassion, he decides to grant the false Prime a possibility at a second chance and plants his spark in the Well, so he might be reborn one day, if Primus so wills it.

    It's a choice that is often on his mind as the centuries pass and he learns to navigate his new life as the divinely-chosen leader of his people and realizes that the empty space Sentinel left behind cannot be filled with determination and good intentions alone. The mantle of a Prime is heavy and wanting to steer his people right is not enough to make up for not knowing how to lead and manage an entire city, but it's a good start. The rest he can learn, from friends and former foes alike.

    Summary

    A Rocky POV of Project Hail Mary, but add in a sprinkle of originally named astrophages, petrova lines, language barriers, trauma recovery, and extra, extra worldbuilding. Includes pre- and post-canon!

    ***

    One day, his strumming was not answered.

    The silence that answered his one verse of song was horrible and grating. Incomplete. Empty. A sick, horrible fear built up inside him.

    (He was going to die out here. Alone.)

    ***

    "Iz huhg," Grace sniffled out, sucking back in moisture from his noze, too. There was moisture and water and everything all over the place. "Huhg meens grayt, grayt, grayt affekshun."

    "Oh," he said tentatively. Another hewmin thing! He shuffled closest to the wall Grace was huhging and leaned in. "Oh. Am I doing correctly, hmm?"

    "Yis," Grace sighed out, calming down. He still leaked, though.

    Oh, well. Leaky hewmins were his favorite, after all.

    Summary

    Jazz is the sole voice of objection when the Autobots implement a new program: recharge berths that hook up to a central network for nightly medical datalogging.

    They proceed with the project anyway and, totally-well-adjusted-and-not-at-all-sociopathic mech that he is, Jazz makes it his sworn duty to ensure that each and every member of high command lives to regret it.

    Summary

    The first cycle of Bluestreak's life was also his worst, the memories are still ingrained into his processor. They rewind and play across his optics, focusing in on the moment that changed his life forever. Bluestreak watches through his younger self's optics.

    He watches himself choose that strange mech, a sparkling reaching out with determined fortitude and processor set on a single goal. He chose who his creator would be and nothing else mattered. Nothing could change what was written so deeply into his code that it became engraved on his spark.

     

    Aka Prowl finds Bluestreak and raises him with his cohort... (Or the comedy of six cops learning how to take care of a sparkling while solving crime)
