Thank you very much! Don't feel bad about not leaving concrit - constructive positive feedback is just as valuable in my book; telling me what you specifically liked about a fic lets me know what I'm doing right! I'm glad my writing comes across as concise - in RL I'm anything but, so it's nice to know I write more eloquently than I speak (after a couple rounds of revision anyway, lol.)
I love subtle character interactions, subtext, and unreliable narrators. I think it gives a story more depth (and a reader more to sink their teeth into) when a fic includes hints of what the other characters are thinking, hints the PoV character may misinterpret or fail to pick up on, but which the reader is able to perceive. I get impatient with stories that spell everything out explicitly. It's also more realistic - everyone's got reasons for doing what they do, even jerks like Starscream or ruthless tyrants like Megatron. From their perspectives, their actions make perfect sense.
Re: Fanart - I have only one response to that: ~*SQUEE!!*~ I usually see the stuff I write very clearly in my head, but lack the artistic ability to capture it visually, so having someone offer to do it for me makes me deliriously happy. Would you object to my linking to it and giving you a shoutout when it's done?
