The Untamed (TV)+2

Callous

by Jengabears

"Jiang cheng! How could you stab me for real?!" "Stop whining! You deserved it!! You broke my arm!" Wei Wuxian is swaying but Jiang Cheng refuses to look fully at him, too angry about the arm. He hears a soft "Jiang Ch..." behind him as he begins to descend the mountain. Then a soft sound like falling. The disciple in front of him points behind him and says "Sect leader he..." but Jiang Cheng dismisses him angrily. "Ignore his theatrics! He just wants the attention. He's no longer my problem! Let's go!" and refuses to allow himself to look back at the brother who had abandoned him.

Sweet Seduction

by IcyPheonix

Optimus Prime, was having a bad day. Actually, to call it a bad day might just be an understatement. But it hadn't started well and had only gotten worse.After lashing out at Sentinel and fleeing custody, Optimus finds himself in the only place that could be worse for him, the hands of the Decepticons.Megatron sees a golden opportunity to get something valuable on his side, to drag the oh no noble and selfless Optimus Prime down to his side. And he's not going to let this opportunity slip away.------I saw this animatic and I really, really wanted to read a fic about TFA Optimus being swayed to the Decepticon side. The very particular story I wanted didn't exist so I wrote it myself.The animatic (which u should watch)-> https://www.tumblr.com/snowsupply/778765176199659521 or here https://bsky.app/profile/snowsupply.bsky.social/post/3lkyxikdzy22r

No Place Like Home

by boatformer (knightoftimehasfallendown), jabberish

The life of a Vehicon is—as they say—exciting and—as a given—short. XL-917 mostly expects to die when chucked through a definitely malfunctioning space bridge, especially when it immediately lands him in the middle of more Autobots than he's ever even seen. Also they're all kinda... off. Uglier than he remembers? All small and square and acting like they don't casually dismember Vehicons every week. He’s pretty sure someone was supposed to have cut him in half at this point—but given they haven’t, it’s probably going to be a bad day.

Transformers: Prime

Seasons to Cycles

by dracoqueen22

Building bridges between Autobots and Decepticons requires small steps. Very small steps. Smokescreen makes the first move, and Knock Out responds in kind.

One line, one minute, just a single word can change peoples lives forever. Can change the course of history. And it does. One remark from Shadow Weaver intending to endear herself further to Adora changes everything.
