Title: Tryst
Continuity: G1, post season three.

anon_decepticon
Rating: M
Pairing or Character(s): Ultra Magnus/???
Disclaimer: I don’t own Transformers.
Warning(s): Slash, PWP, robot!sex of the p&p variety.
Summary: Ultra Magnus meets a certain someone for a secret tête à tête.
Author's Note: Just a quick porny little ficbit inspired by watching

primusatemyleg create one of his incredible 3D renders for

spacehussy. Hope everyone enjoys it, but those two especially. References and quotes dialogue from the G1 cartoon episode “The Killing Jar”…which in retrospect probably makes it kind of obvious who the mystery mech is.

Story: Crash Course
Verse: G1
Author: Jointly written by

anon_decepticon &

mdperera, with input from

kookaburra1701.
Rating: PG-13 mostly, with some chapters inching toward M.
Pairings: Pretty much every Stunticon pairing you can think of, plus a couple of OCs to keep things interesting. Hints of Hound/Mirage and Inferno/Red Alert in later chapters if you squint.
Warnings: Humanized TFs, sexual content (both het and slash), violence (robbery, assault, murder), references to and depictions of verbal, physical, sexual and emotional abuse (aka MM being MM).
Story Summary: An accident turns the Stunticons into humans, leaving them alone, naked and without resources in the California desert. Their only hope of getting their old bodies back is to take a crash course in humanity, but the stakes are much higher than pass or fail.
(Co)Author's Note: This Stunticon-centric humanization fic written by myself and

mdperera was technically completed two weeks ago, but since I posted some of the early chapters here on my journal, I decided to do a final update so it doesn't look like an abandoned WiP.

Title: Dead Air
Continuity: G1 AU, follows canon up until the end of season two.
Author:

anon_decepticon
Rating: PG-13
Pairing or Character(s): The Recordicons
Disclaimer: I don’t own Transformers.
Warning(s): Character death, oodles of angst. This is not a happy fic.
Summary: Soundwave is killed in battle, leaving his cassettes behind to pick up the pieces.
Author's Note: This fic is set during the time gap between the end of season two and TF:TM, prior to Blaster’s acquisition of Rewind, Eject, Steeljaw and Ramhorn. Ratbat, Overkill and Slugfest likewise do not exist in this ‘verse. Inspiration credit goes to

peacewish and her ongoing kink meme fic “These Games We Play.” There will be additional chapters, but I don’t know how quickly I’ll end up cranking them out in-between “Crash Course” and “Strictly Business” – it all depends which bunnies bite the hardest. Alas, mine is a fickle muse.

EDIT: Because many of my readers are as talented as they are awesome, "After Atlantis" now has fanart! Check out these gorgeous pics! Trailbreaker and Wheeljack go out for a walk (art by naggingfishwife) and then stop for a snuggle (art by swindleslog). D'aaaaaw...

kookaburra1701 for urging me to at least try to prod my muse into cooperating. This chapter was supposed to be the last one, but it ended up running so long I had to split it into two, so there will be one more to wrap things up. Thanks for reading!

It's Monday, and we all know what that means - new chapter!

Chapter 12 - Pounding the Pavement Breakdown/Dead End, Dead End's PoV. Warning for mild smut.

Current Mood: pleased
Current Music: Morrissey, "Everyday is Like Sunday"

I don't think anyone's actually reading these chapter posts here on my LJ, so I'm just going to put up a link to FFN from now on. Crash Course is updated twice a week, every Monday and Thursday.

Crash Course, Chapter 11: Rat Race. Breakdown/Wildrider, Breakdown's PoV. Warning for mildly explicit smut.

EDIT: I stand corrected! Thanks for chiming in. I'm still gonna go with links from this point on, partly because some chapters, like this one, will only be partially written by me, so it feels wrong to post them as if they were solely my work, but also because since Marian isn't posting her chapters to her LJ, people will have to go to FFN for the full story regardless. Also, I'm lazy, and doing it this way means I don't have to do any HTML.

anon_decepticon
Rating: M
Pairing or Character(s): Megatron/Skywarp/Thundercracker
Disclaimer: I don’t own Transformers.
Warning(s): Sticky sex, dub-con, oral, threesome, domination, voyeurism, angst.
Overall Summary: Megatron has turned his sights on Thundercracker, but Skywarp has a plan.
Author's Note: Part three of three, Thundercracker’s PoV. This is the second half of the conclusion of the third trilogy of fics in the continuity that follows my third, fourth and tenth fics for the kink meme, Skywarp Goes Solo, Thunderstruck and Grounded, and the follow-up trilogy, “Ours, Mine, Yours.” The first half is here. Phases One and Two are here and here. Here it is at last – the exciting conclusion! Sorry for the delay; I did something not-good to my back and was left half-crippled for the better part of a day. Kind of freaked out about posting due to the lack of comments on the first half – I hope you all are just holding out for part two, and it’s not the grim silence that traditionally accompanies an epic fail. This entire chapter contains several references to as-yet-unwritten backstory, so if you’ve got a question (or two), feel free to stop by my personal canon meme and ask. Thanks for reading!

Overall Summary: Megatron has turned his sights on Thundercracker, but Skywarp has a plan.
Author's Note: Part three of three, Thundercracker’s PoV. This is the conclusion of the third trilogy of fics in the continuity that follows my third, fourth and tenth fics for the kink meme, Skywarp Goes Solo, Thunderstruck and Grounded, and the follow-up trilogy, “Ours, Mine, Yours.” Phases One and Two are here and here. This installment ended up running kinda long, well over LJ’s post limit, so even though I haven’t quite finished writing it, I decided to go ahead and post the first half. Picks up right where Phase Two left off. Many thanks to

kookaburra1701 for being all-around awesome, and special nods to

soulfire003 for suggesting a suitable prank for ‘Warp to play on Starscream, and to my anonymous V-gifter - hope I didn't keep you waiting too long! RL permitting, part 2 will be up this weekend, if not sooner.

Rating: M
Pairing or Character(s): Thundercracker/Starscream
Disclaimer: I don’t own Transformers.
Warning(s): Sticky, dub-con, violence, mild bondage and D/s, Starscream being Starscream.
Overall Summary: Left in the lurch by their usual partners, Thundercracker and Starscream…commiserate.
Author's Note: As promised, here’s that TC/Starscream scene that took place between Phase One and Phase Two of “Skywarp’s Solution.” Thundercracker’s PoV. Apologies for the lame non-title; I couldn’t think of one. (I’m open to suggestions.) Previous fics are (in chronological order): Skywarp Goes Solo, Thunderstruck and Grounded, the follow-up trilogy, “Ours, Mine, Yours,” and Phase One of “Skywarp’s Solution.” Phase Two takes place the morning after this scene, and may read a little differently in retrospect. This is something of a prelude to the Starscream-centric, most-likely-longfic I plan to write someday, so depending on how it’s received, that may end up being my next big project once “After Atlantis” is complete. Thanks to

kookaburra1701 for her support and encouragement, and as always, thanks for reading!
